FOUND DEAD.

Early yesterday morning he was found
dead, lying face down beside the railroad
track. His head was lying northward and
at the base of the skull was an ugly wound.
His clothes were besmeared with what is
supposed to be car grease, and indicated
that he had been killed by passing train.
IL was soon ascertained, however, that no
train had passed the station during the
night except those going south, aud the
position of the body precluded the theory
that he had been struck by a train going in
that direction. Acting Coroner Frank
Maura summoned jury Sunday morning
and post-mortem examination was held.
MUTE EVIDENCE OF THE TRAGEDY.
The clothing and some sand rear the
track, which appeared to be bloodstai ed,
were taken for examination. Witnesses
were examined and the jury adjourned till
to-day to hear the result of the post norton
examination, which developed the fact that
death resulted from fracture of the base
of the skull, caused by blow from some
instrument, probably a club Dr. Fordham,
who made the examination, gave as his
opinion that the man could not have been
killed by train. After hearing this state
ment the jury rendered verdict that the
deceased, James Richardson, came to his
death by blow from a club or other in
srrument in the hands of some person to the
Jury unknown.

gorgeous with brass-brasS bedsteads, brass
chairs and brass tables. 1t is quite pr0ba-
BILE that in the future no private or excur.
sion car will be completed without its brass
bedsteadS. The rage is started at all events.
Said one of the rbest-known furniture
dealers the other day, man who does only
the very highest class of trade: " The craze
for the antique is dead. Of course there
are people who are judges and admire old
work for its intrinsic value, but the average
woman who buys old stuff merely to give
her house an air of age aud s0lidity is done
with it, simply because she has been sub
jerted to many embarraSsmentS ana annoy
ances through the fad.
We heard a woman of social RANK say to a
dealer recently: "Mr x, wish to get rid
of all my old furniture. if l can get any,
where near what paid for it. You see it
tions, and people will ask questions. If only
to show polite interest in my treasures.
They say: What a magnificent cabinetl
Is 1t an heirloom?' and when reply in the
negative they lift their eyebrows and say
'Ohi' in such tantalizing way. Then,
business which denotes candid disposition,
say: What do you hare this old piece for
If it's not a family-piece? And can't tell
the truth about II and say bought it be-
cause IL lent eminent respectaDl1ty to my
establishment"
On other occasions the presence of an old
piece of furniture In house sometimes
starts guest on "reminiscences about chairs
that Mrs. Jones' great-grandfather left her
or Mrs. Smiths niece ON her grandmother's
side possesses, and it is calculated to make
one ieel stupid to just simply sit and listen
to all this and have to confess to oneself
that one has not single genuine family
piece in the whole house.
So the craze has died out

that Japanese do not have wrinkles because
