went to the American House, registered his
name as 81. @. Brown, Baltimore" paid his
bin in advance, and retired TO room. Not
appearing In the morning, he was called by q

obtained. Several other attempts were made
in vain to gain admltiance To the room. About

by removing panel In the door. and the man
was found dead In the bed. His clothes laid
upon q chair, and upon Q small toilet table
was found an empty tvo-ounce vial labelled

pearance Of having contained white powder.

and seyenty-aye cents In currency, two keys
upon q ring, and black memorandum book,
were also found upon the table. The man was
well dressed, rather above the medium height,
and apparently about thirty I'VE years OF age.

|. On Saturday the investigation In the disas-
ter on the New Hsusn railroad, on the 10th OF
October, was closed, before Corener Rsnney,
and the following verdict was given by the
jury; t Oh. .r0
That deceased came 10 his death by injuries
received from a railroad accident, caused by
the accidental breaking OF rail on the 10th
day Of October last, at or near the corner OF
seventy-seyenth street and Fourth avenue.
We e1onerate the Harlem road from all blame,
but we censure the New Haven road for the
following roasonsi u
1. For running ordinary passenger trnins
with two powerful engines attached, and at
such high rate Of speed, especially within our
city limits. -.e- /.
4 For mot attaching TO their cars the Cream
or brake, so called, as the best In use, com.
manding as II does almost universal approba-
ton. Further, we believe that some Important
penal legislation Is necessary In the present
condition Of our railroads, regulating the rate
Of speed, and restricting It to twenty-five miles
an hour as q maximum out Of the city, and
fve miles an hour within Its limits. Also, we
believe that such legislation should be extended
SO as TO enforce rigid inspection Of iron rails
and railroad materials, especially at the man.

sible, be established before using them. Q ~
