Of George Quacco giant sized negro of that city, whS
met death in the Delaware River last month,

terry The facts OF the case stated time in tho

committed some offence, for which the Pnillipsburg
authorities sought his arrest. He cluded pursuit,
however, until last month Then he was
arrested, but stoutly resisted and Jumped
into the Delaware effect escape The officers called
him to surrender, but he pushed on. Then they
fired on him. He sank, and the dead body after.
ward recovered. An inquest was held and a verdict
rendered OF accidental drowning" This however
not satisfactory the friends Of the dead negro
in Newark. These have since set TO work, made their
investigation of the facts and, at recent
meeting of colored people m Newark, caused
to be passed resolution setting forth that Quacco
came TO his death by other means than accidentally
drowning committee was appointed and en-
powered to search for evidence with view TO bring
ing the suspected assaants OF Quacco to justice The
belief pretty general in Newark outside of the col
