Doyle Was Not Murdered.
John H. Doyle's body, which was found
in the Newark Bay Sunday. was removed
from the Morgue yesterday to his home
in Jersey City. where the funeral takes
place this afternoon. The murder theory
is secuted by police and friends now. as
no marks which would lead to such a con-
clusiou were found on the remains. The
superstition is that he fell in the Kill Won
Kull mi was drowned.
The tide carrying his body into the
Newark Bay wedged it in the piliug Of
the Central Railroad bridge, where it was
held until Sunday, when the unusually
high tide forced 1t from its support and
the body was discovered. Ten OF the sew
enteen dollars he had in his possession
were found, and it is Known that he spent

Striking for Back Pay.
Sixty bricklayers and helpers employed
in erecting the gigantic new barrel fac
tory and wax works of the Standard Oil
~Company's refinery at Constable Hook
struck yesterday at noon. The cause was
the refusal of Contractor John Lynch, of
Elizabeth. to pay for alleged back time.
The strikers are members of Brtcklayers
and Masons' Union No. 10. They say
they will not return to work until Lynch
aocedes to their demands. Lynch posi-
lively refuses to treat with the strikers
and threatens to replace them with n
force of %non-union men. He is supported
in this determination by the officials of
the company. Trouble is feared by the
Bayonne police should the contractor fill
the strikers places with non-union men.
