Result of Excuses.
An autopsy was held late yesterday af-
ternoon on the body of James Gaynor, who
died in the Receiving Hospital Monday
morning. and in connection with who Sc
death Thomas Hanly was charged with
murder.
Gaynor was found lying at the foot OF
staircase leading to a house on Eighth
street, near Brannan. where Hanly lives.
When he regained consciousness subse-
quently in the hospital he accused his old

to have been caused by the injuries received
in the fall.
The post-mortem examination showed
that Gaynor had died from natural causes.
His organs were all diseased, and the heart
weakened by fatty degeneration. These
abnormal conditions were brought ON by
excessive drinking.

The Maine Central Relief Association was
organized in November. 1887, for the pur
pose of affording some pecuniary assistance
to sick or disabled members, and in case of
death to pay to dependent families sub.
stantial sum of money. Starting with about
175 members, the numbers have gradually in.
creased until the present time, when the
membership is upwards of 100, all of whom
are men in the employ of the Maine Central
Railroad and its steamboat line. AS most OF
the members are employed in the operating
department of the road, they are rendered
peculiarly liable to sickness or death from
exposure or accident. There have been paid
IT, sick and disabled members the sum of
$4,000, and to the surviving relatives of de-
ceased members the sum of $69Oo The
money for these purposes has been raised
entirely from individual assessments on the
members. 1t is Obvious that with the large
increase in membership there must be cor
responding increase in expenses. 1t has
therefore been decided, in order to meet this
increased demand, that the association give

additional sum for the treasury. This enter
