Cosmopolitan mine was found dead in
his bed. at Mrs. Winters lodging house,

to be caused by heart disease. Al. in

and went out to a water closet, back of
the brewery, where he was shortly after
wards found quite dead. \ pos; mortem
examination Of the body was made this
afternoon. The Coroner will hold an
inquest on the remains tomorrow. De
vine was a inember Of the Virginia Fire
Department. 1t is every WAY likely that
bis death was caused by inteinperance
