DEATH OF JOSEPH GRIFFITH.-ltela-
tive to the sad death at Sacramento Of
Joseph F. Griffith, late conductor on
the Virginia and Truckee Railroad,
which we made mention OF in ycster-
days NEWS, we have learned the fol-
lowing particulars. As we stated, he
left for Sacramento about two weeks
ago on leave Of absence, by reason Of
bad health. At 1885 p. NJ. Wednesday.
he telegraphed that he was consider
ably better and would start back here
to-day-Friday. At 500 the same
evening the telegraph announced his
death. 1t appears that after sending
the first dispatch he went with his
mother-in-law and little daughter,
aged about five years, to visit the grave
of his wife, who died a year ago and
was buried in the cemetery near the
city. While in deep sorrow they were
standings at the grave, the Srief-stricken
man suddenly fell forward upon the
little mound Of earth which covered
tho remains of his dearly loved wife,
and died in a few seconds. Heart
disease or ~apoplexy Is supposed to
have been the inducing Il OF his
thus so suddenly dying, and under
such sadly peculiar circumstances.
Mr.. Griffith was q native of Harris
burg, Pennsylvania, aged 80 years.
