Most Of the rumors that have been cir
culated since the untlmcly death OF DIR.
Herbert j. pomeroy, last Monday morn
ing, have been nearly as false as they were
sensational. DIR. Pomeroy occupied al
most the position OF n public man, mas
much as he had an enormous acquaintance
that was not limited to any one set or
circle. His sudden death created wide
spread sympathy and interest accordingly.
The facts OF the case are that there is abb
solutcly no disagreement as to tho cause
of death and that tho family is entirely
satisfied with the unanimous verdict OF
the physicians. DR. Pomcroy died OF con-
gcstion OF the brain and heart failure,
both induced by inaction OF tho digestive
organs on a full stomach.

difficulty, but on the wrong side of the

During all this time Colgate was getting

WHILE HE SLEPT.
Suttins's SIumbers Disturbed by Col
lision last Night.

At Hop. m. yesterday Edward Nutting
was driving up Westminster street. He
was very tired and before he knew it was
asleep on the seat. The horse continued
on and Nutting drifted deeper and deeper
into slumber, but all at once the awaken
ing came. A sudden crash caused the
sleep to vanish from Nutting's eyes, and
an instant later he found himself the CEN
tire of a mass OF wreckage. 1t appears that
the horse driven by Nutting veercd di-
rectly in the path OF coupe driven by
Charles Hamilton and there was a colli-
sion. Nutting's horse cleared himself
from the wreck and ran away, but was
captured later by citizen. The wagon
was badly damaged, but Nutting was not
injured.
