ing of City hall, consisting Of Mayor
Baldwin, Alderman Thompson, Presi-
dent Kellogg of the board Of cOuncilmen,
and the board of selectmen, held meet
ing last evening for the purpose Of talk
ing up the matter. The question was

Coroner MIX Investigating the
Death OF John O'Toolo.
The case of John O'Toole of Manga
tuck, who died yesterday, is shrouded
in mystery, and Medical Examiner
futile notified Coroner Mix, who is con-
Quoting an investigation to-day. O'Tools
was found in an insensible condition
about ten days ago, from which he
never rallied. Many are under the i'm
preston that there was foul play.
On Saturday, December 8, OToole re-
ceived his injuries at the American
hotel, and was left sitting in chair un-
conscious all night. His home was only
fifty feet away from the hotel, but for
some unexplained reason he was not
taken there. Since receiving the inju-
ries he was unconscious up to the time
of his death, and therefore was unable
to disclose the manner in which he was
injured. O'Tools leaves a widow and
three children.
