STARVED HIMSELF TO DEATH.
A Teamster Takes Novel Method of
Leaving the World.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Aug. 9.-John
Burke, aged 80 years, a dssipated team
ster, residing on Morgan street, Union
Hill, was committed to the Hudson county
Jail for thirty days July 10. Since his in
generation Burke has persistently re-
fused to take food of any kind, and an
nounced his intention of starving himself
to death. After few days abstinence
County Physician Converse gave or
ders that Burke be compelled
60 take nourishment. The pris-
oner resisted the keepers, who had
to force soup and other liquid food down
his throat with syringe. The prisoners
wife repeatedly visited him and urged
bin to eat for the sake of his three chill
dren. Burke's resolution, however, could
not be shaken. The result OF his course
was that he became greatly emaciated,
but the authorities did not realize how
serious his condition really was. This
morning he was found insensible in his
cell. All efforts to revive him proved
futile and he died without regaining con-
sciousness.

One other of the crew of the Agnes
Campbell died at the quarantine hospital
few days ago, making the seventh death
out of crew of twelve since the vessel
left Colon, twenty-siX days ago. Non
intercourse with and isolation OF the Ship
Island quarantine station are SO yigOr-
Ously maintained by DR.. Murray that
there is much difficulty and delay in GET
ting news therefrom. No vessel of apy
description is allowed to approach within
the limits of the quarantine anchorage
except such as are ordered there for de-
tentiOn. Close observation IS kept I'D
during the day, and a whale boat patrols
