sudden Death OF a Postal Agent.

The community was BenelDly shocked
last evening by the report, which proved
to be correct, that George W. Sawyer,
postal lroute agent on the Delaware
Western branch of the b. & 2. Rail
road, had dropped dead at the foot OF
Walnut street abont o'clock. Mr..
Sawyer came in with his mail In the
afternoon as well as usual, and after he
had entered his report at the post Office
to see the trains of people going through
to the Inauguration at Washington.
Mr.. Sawyer having many years ago
been resident of Philadelphia had a
personal knowledge of some of the local
organizations that were passing through.
While talking to some men in reference
to the old Philadelphia Fire Depart
ment, to which some of the men passing
through belonged, he was seen to sud
denly sink down on the floor of the
room in which he stood, gaspipg for
breath.
He was Immediately taken up and
carried into back room aud q messen-
ger was despatched for DIR. Morrison,
Second and King streets. When the
doctor arrived, the unfortunate man
gave but little signs of life. He found a
total relaxation of the muscles, but
thero were no evidences of either para
lysis or apoplexy.
Every means used to restore him to
! consciousness proved3 Intellectual, and
it became the doctors unpleasant duty
to pronounce him dead. The doctor
said that the trouble was axpohyxi
| the valves of the heart closing against
! the flow of blood.
The deceased had often been heard to
say that lie expected to die suddenly,
as he was subject to such sudden spells.
Post st-master Swiggett being sent for
came and took charge OF the official
keys, money, watch, and other valu-
ables found upon the person of the de-
ceased.
dence of the deceased, No. 502 Adams
street, and performed the painful duty
of breaking the sad news to Mrs. Saw
yer. Deputy Coroner Smith being noti-
fed directed that the body of the de.
ceased be sent to his late home. Under
taker Wilson took charge of the body,
and an inquest will be held some time
to. day.
Mr.. sawyer was about 45 years of
age, and leaves a wife and two children.
i He came to this city from Philadelphia
soon after the war, and was for several
years engaged with II. f. Pickels, he
being tinsmith. About eight years
ago be was appointed postal route agent
on the Delaware Western Railroad,
which position he has filled faithfully
until his death. 1t Is not yet known
whether the deceased will be inferred
In this city or in Philadelphia.

b. Railroad continued during yesterday
afternoon and last night and thousands
OF persons passed through this city an
route for the Capitol. At 1.28 O'Clock
this morning, the Bayard Legion, with
Colonel William B. Norton az Marshal,

so men in the company. and they pre-
sented . fine appearance. They oar
Ia fine portrait of Senator Thomas r.

The Delaware Band accompanied
them, and they will remain In Wash

The station in tn Is city was crowded
all day yesterday, and in the afternoon
there were 30 many In the waiting-room
that orders were issued not to let any
one stop there unless they wished to
purchase tickets for some of tho trains.
The crowd then adjourned to the plat
forms, and as soon as u coming train
was spied 1t was welcomed with cheers,
and surrounded by the irrepressible
small boy,in search of old sojers, or any
thing else he thought worth gathering
up.

man of New York, passed through on 3
lparlor car yesterday afternoon.
A man in attempting to pass from
one car to another when the train was
stopped at the station, missed his foot
ing, and tell to the ground. Fortunately
he was not injured, and after being
assisted to his feet by some friends took
his seat In the car.
One of the passengers threw a hand
full OF small coin among the crowd, that
were eagerly scramb bled for by men and
boys, and 1t presented an amusing
sight to see them tumbling over each
other, like a school of porpoises, in their
eagerness to secure the nickels.
Others threw handfulls of segars among
the crowd, the most Of which were bad
ly broken by the time they were
! secured.

HI Temper.

There is no greater danger and there
is no greater evil in home-life than the
all too general habit of giving way to
passing moods of i'll temper. Families
feel that they a,e too closely united to
allow small discords to grow into large
ones. This 10 a sad mistake the need
everywhere and always alike.
