The HoIsTNG MACHINES for warehouses, man
ufactured by MIR. f. L. Bates, East Falls avenue,

respects equal to the business for which they are
designed. Two ofthem have recently been erect

der, in the First Ward, was drowned ON Wednes-
day evening in Rock Creek, near Cochran's stone

SUDDEN DEATH.--An inquest was held yester-
day evening over tile body of German laborer
named Kiel 1t appears that the deceased went
to work in the morning as usual on the Patent
Office building, but between two and three o'clock
inthe afternoon he was taken sick, and started
on his way home-about mile distant. He had
scarcely reached the vicinity of the jail, when (on
G street) he fell to the earth and there expired,
Notwithstanding the efforts made by persons in the
neighborhood to prevent that result. The YER
dict Of the jury was, death from apoplexy, SUI
perinduced by his previous bad habits of intern
perance, and the excessive heat of the sun yestcr-
day.

clause: 'sFor the extirpation of thstles one hun

they fairly begin to vegetate, there is delay un-
til they arrive at maturity and their seed is scat
tered for a new crop the next year.

two or three days witnesses have been summoned
by the grand jury and examined as to the testi-
mony which he gave while his BROTHER the doc
