Abraham Bolster, Jr., compositor,
employed latterly in the Gazette

House, at quarter past last even
ing, in hack, from near the Fish
Market, quite helpless, and had to
be carried in by the officers. DR..
McWayne was sent for at half-past

was also sent for, and arrived about
8 O'Clock. The young man was
then at the point of death, and ex-
PRED few minutes later. DR..
McWayne, assisted by DR.. Martin,
held a post norton this afternoon.
They found that death had been
caused by effusion of blood on the
brain. A slight external bruise was
found on the head, believed to he
the result of fall, but SO slight
that the doctors doubted that the
effusion was caused by it. They
believe the effusion was caused by
the excessive use of liquor. Deputy
Marshal Dayton is holding an en-
quiry, but does not consider an in
