DEATH OF CAPTAIN MADDY.-The
sndden death of Captain VIM. Mad
dy, on Friday evening, awakened a
deep sympathy for tho family left
behind. He dropped dead at his
gate, of heart disease. Within the
past four years three members of
this family have died in this same
sudden manner, of heart disease.
Captain Maddy was one of the
pioneer citizens ofHuntington, hav-
ing lived with his family in this city
for eighteen years. His occupation
was that ofsteamboat captain, which
responsible position he held with
great credit to himself on many of
the prominent Ohio river steamers.
During the past four years he has
not been employed much of his time
on the river. Several months ago
hewas induced 10 go South for the
purpose eff going into the timber
bushes. The venture was failure,
owing to the fact that the men who
bad introduced ;he scheme were
without capital to back it, and Cap
tain Maddy was made to suffer from
their operations. Although he was
not enjoying first class health, there
was nothing whatever to indicate
that Captain Maddy would die so
suddenly, and the first news of his
death was quito a shock to his
friends. He was aged 65 years.
