THE STAUB CASE.
1t is Not Thopgllt to be Murder What rhos'

who Last saw Deceased say.
On Sunday afternoon George Staub a widower,
twenty-eight years of age ana resident of No. 22l7
Nassau street, was found lying nsensibe at the
berry Mansion and the Schuylkil river From bruises
on his person it was at first supposed that murder
had been committed, and this suppOsition was en-
HANGED by the fact that during the night general
fight had taken place at the Mansion
Further investigation by the detectives, however,
gives the affair another appearance. The following
account is given by parties who were OF the party
with whom Staub visited the resort
On last Thursday afternoon he went with his
friends to strawberry Mansion, and between that
pidly intoxicated. About haif-past O'Clock p. M.
he was seen by young man and woman in the
grounds to go the rear of the house, and thence
make his way towards the quarry. From marks in
the soft earth on the edge of the preclpce 1t is
pretty evident that he staggered on the brink and
his feet breaking the earth away he fell over and
so down fifty feet TO the place where he was found
the following morning. The fight which took place
did not commence until q couple of hours after
Staub was last seen.
Though alive when discovered, and although
for him and he died on Saturday, The wounds on
Staubs head said to be very slight and only such
the impressions OF the skull having been discovered
in the soft earth.
An inquest into the facts will be made by Coroner
Daniels on Thursday morning next at lOoclocE.
