IS 1T A MURDER.
Postal Clerk Found i'm His Car.


a terrible tragedy occurred on Sunday at
Bangor, Me, resulting in the death of Jere-
lniah G.. Sinclair of Ossipee, N. H., postal
clerk on the Bangor and Boston night run
The details are shrouded in mystery. He
had just finished piling the mail bags in his
car and signal had been given to start,
when the conductor ordered the train stopped,
which was done after it had moved the
length of two cars. 1t was said that man
in the postal car had been taken with hem
orrhage, and must be removed. Several per-
sons rushed into the Car and found Sim
clair lying on pile of bags in pool of
blood. He WIS taken into an omnibus and
carried to the Penobscot Exchange, where
he boarded. On reaching the place he was
dead 1t is supposed that he was dead when
placed in the omnibus. The body was taken
to Undertaken Hunts to be prepared for
burial, when it was found that, instead of
from hemorrhage, death had resulted from a
wound in the breast, made with some sharp
instrument, apparently double edged, cut
ting through his jumper and shirt, and PEN
etrating the breast just below the left collar
bone, to the depth Of four inches. The large
artery was severed and death must have en-
sued almost Immediately as shown by the
autopsy held tonight.
The only persons known to have been with
the deceased in the car were Postal Clerks
Y. u. Sellon OF Massacb usetts and B, Lyman
Hayes OF New Hampshire, who have run for
years with Sinclair, the latter having been
on the road some IA years. The train started
off directly, taking the postal clerks, and
nothing further has been. learned. Marshal
Whitney has telegraphed to have them re-
turned on the morning train From the ap-
pearance of the wound it would seem that it
might have been Inflicted either by a blow
in front or behind, or might have been self
inflicted Some believe that tramp or
other evil-disposed person may have been
concealed in the compartment car occupied
by Sinclair and dealt the fatal blow and
escaped before the alarm was given.
Deceased was much liked by all, and was
aot known to have an enemy and his asso-
clates in the service stand as high as any in
the community. An inqu st will he held as
SOON as those in the train can be brought
here, and the matter will be thoroughly in
vestigated. Deceased was about 60 years
! old, and leaves II second wife. The commu-
