VERY SUDDEN DEATH.
Police Officer Warren Dropped Dead at
His supper Table.

Last evening while Police Officer Joseph
B. Warren was at supper, he was bothered
by the ringing of the electic door bell by
some of the children of the neighborhood.
He went to the door and gave chase, and
when he returned and sat down to the table
he remarked, II guess that run rather
winded me.''
Immediately after his head fell forward
SO that his face struck on the rea cup, and
when hey got to him, he was dead. No
death was ever more unexpected. He was
on duty the night before and had never
complained of any heart trouble. He told
Officer Newcomb recently that he was never
better in his life and had not an ache or a
pain.
Mr.. Warren was one of the Oldest in the
service, and was entitled to wear the four
stripes on his sleeve. He Joined the force
in March. 1878. Signal Officer Alonzo ar
mon joined in January of the same year.
He is the only one, older in years OF con-
tinuous service. Deputy Marshal Sterling
has been connected with the police force
longer than either of them, but not con-
tinuouslf.
During all these twenty-one years Mr..
Warren had never missed a days duty.
Whenever he had been i'll. which was
seldom. it had happened during his vaca-
ton. No officer was ever more faithful
than he. He was man of most exemplary
character. The rare statement could be
made of him that he never smoked,
chewed. drank or swore.
Mr.. Warren was born in North Gorham. 81
years ago. Previous to his joining the police
force he had worked on the Eastern rail.
road. He leaves widow and four children,
three daughters and son.
He had moved recently to the building on
Federal street. formerly occupied by the
Eye and Ear Infirmary. The house had been
remodel1ed.
