Mark McEiwee, while engaged on Saturday
IN coupling coal cars on the Media Railroad, at
Ihirty second and Chestnut streets, was caught
between the bumpers and killed almost ins
stantly. His body was taken to No. 2l23 Fill
pert street, and the Coroner notded to hold an
inquest.
Yesterday morning, about 2 o'clock, two
men entered the residence of Mrs. j. Belts, No.
1883 Walnut street, and proceeded to her bed
room, One OF the men lit the gas, while the
other held knife over the lady and threatened
to XIII her If she made any noise. The other
man then searched the premises; while so doing
their movements were discovered by two
domeetics, who gave the alarm. The men then
fed, dropping much OF their booty, but carrying
away valuable lot of jewelry. They broke
several pieces of furniture in the presence of the
lady before leaving her bedchamOer.
james B. Doyle died suddenly at his resi-
dence, Nc. 400 Locust street, yesterday morn
ing. About an hour previous to his death he
was found by three citizens at the northeast
corner OF Sixth and Chestnut streets, on the side
wals. He was unable to walk without assist
ance, and requested them TO assist him to his
home. With their help he managed to walk TO
Fifth and Chestnut Streets where his strength
tailed him and he dropped to the pavement. A
police man assisted the citizens to carry Mr..
Doyle to his residence. Soon after his arrival
there he began to sink, and in less than an hour
from that time expired. He had been drinking
to excess during Saturday, and q short time
before he was found he had come out of res
taurant at Sixth and Chestnut streets, and II is
thought, from bruise on his head, that he fell
and struck on the pavement, which caused con-
cussion of the brain, and this, coupled with the
effects of the liquor, caused his death. He was
in his 36th year and was married. He was a
graduate of the High School, and an attorney
atlaw, and several years ago held the position
OF Assistant City Solicitor. The Coroner will
to day hold an inquest over the body.
About midnight on Saturday last, officer
Solomon Start, of the Fourth district, heard
cries of murder from the boarding house No.
lO3 Vine street. He hastened to the house, and
was admitted by lady, who said she did not
know what was the matter. He then met
lady running down stairs, who, after telling him
that man was hidden in the bathroom, tainted
with terror. Making search of the premises,
he discovered man concealed In the yard,
who, upon being questioned, said that he came
there to OBTAIN lodgings. Upon searching him
there were found an open dirk knife in his
pocket, a bunch of skeleton keys, candle, two
boxes of matches, two quart bottles full OF mill +,
large quantity Of bread and butter and meat,
a valuable watch and cnain, and other jewelry.
He at first gave his name as Shirk, but q deposit
book of the Philadelphia Saving Fund being
also found upon him, bearing the name OF DR..
j. A. Dilman, who was credited with a deposit
in cash OF $500, he said that was his real name,
and that the only thing he feared was that the
occurrence would iDjure his business. He
claimed to have come from Lancaster, but re
fused TO tell where he resided. He was taken
before Alderman Kerr yesterday morning, who
committed him in default OF $500 bail.
