DEATH OF JAMES WALLACE.-Last
Wednesday James Wallace, State srmorer,
disappeared and his friends were COM
pletely at loss 40 to what had become of
him. Search was made by the police, but
without effect. Yesterday the body of q
dead man was found in draining canal
alongside the Washington avenue shell
road, ct the point where the jackson rail
road crosses. That bridge is only trestle
work, and but narrow plank is on the
span for foot passengers to walk on. 1t is
supposed that in attempting to cross, in the
dark, be slipped and doubtless struck his
head on one of the beams. 80 stunning him
that he drowned before his senses returned.
1t was at first supposed that violence had
been used, but an examination by the COR
oner proved such not to be the case. De
ceased had been State armorer during q
space Of five yeare, and was fully trusted
by the authorities. During the war he was
in the Federal army, and by good service
raised himself from the ranks to the posi-
ton of captain. His disposition was a
kindly one, faithful in all things, and al
though earning but small salary never
failed to send large portion of his wages
to his family in Philadelphia. As be had
no relatives in this city the duty of laying
him in his last resting place devolved on
bis friends, and they regretfully left his
remains in Cypress Grove Cemetery.
