WHAT BECAME OF THE MONEY!

As was reported yesterday. James Frothinghan.
the foreman of Van Idersteins slaughtering estab-
hshment. Jersey City. was crushed to death on
Thursday afternoon by being caught between
post and the water wheel. few hours previous to
the accident the proprietor of the place gave Froth
ingham $500 to pay off some bills that were due.
The dead man lay in the slaughter house for some
length of time before a physician was sum-
moned. When DR.. Pettrie arrived he found
his services would be unavailing. and in
the presence OF number OF the workmen
searched Frothngham's clothes. and took from
his pocket Sl0l 81. which handed over to the
Chief OF Police. When the proprietor returned he
examined the dead mans accounts. and discovered
that the balance hand from the previous day was
s34 81, which, together with tho amount givon to
him the morning Of his death. made total Of
SABA 81. The only sum paid out by Frothingham
for bill of S2S 80. showing conclusively that
the amount found OH his person should have been
S40G %. instead of SlOl 3d. What has become Of
the remainder Is not at present known. The body
was found by Charles Siddeli, John Parsley and
one Mckinney. The police have taken charge OF the
