Death of an old Hotel servant.

Tom Winston, cOlored, head waiter Of
the Commercial Hotel, died very suddenly
yesterday morning. He was up attending
to the dining room and, about Z o'clock, as
he was walking out the door leading to tie
kitchen, he fell down on the floor and ex-
pired within an hour. Coroner Brantley
held an inquest, and, in accordance with
the opinion Of DR.. Kercheval, rendered a
verdict that deceased died Of congestion Of
the stomach.
Tom had been head Waiterever since the
opening of the Commercial ia 1866, and
long before held that position in the old
City Hotel, on the Square. Consequently
he had a very extensive acquaintance, and
as he was a faithful, prompt and attentive
servant, there are many who will regret to
hear of his death. He was owned before
emancipation by DR.. Q. K. Winston.

BurgIarIes ON Union street.

Yesterday morning a large pane Of glass
in the front door Of Masssngale & Co.'S
confectionery, No. 40 Union street, was
first thought TO be the work Of a burglar,
but, upon examination, nothing was missed
except a box Of cigars. There was a small
sum Of money in the cash drawer and this
had not been touched. The glass was
probably broken by some person staggering
against it.

who took out only a small lot Of goods.
The entrance was made through q window
