He and samuel Mccormick Walked Fnro
tho Christiana River Lust Friday Morn
Ing,
William Campbell and Edward God
frey Sunday afternoon found tho dead
body OF James McClurg floating in the
Christiana river near the wharves of the
Pussy 81 Jones Co. They towed it
ashore and notified the coroner, who re-
moved it to tho morgue.
An inquest was held over the remains
Monnay, at IL o'clock, and the jury
decided that McGlurg came to his death
by drowning. Several witnesses were
heard, but nobody seemed to know any,
thing about the drowning.
Samuel Mccormick Of Seventeenth
and Union streets stated that he met
McClurg in the Bulls Head Hotel on
Fourth of July night. Both had been
drinking and Mccormick started for
home. McOlurg went with MIN, and
Instead of going up town they went
down. Mccormick remembers talking
to McClurg after leaving the hotel, but
he does not know where they were.
Tho only thing he remembers viyidly is
that he found himself in the water and
he swan about until line was thrown
to him by the captain of a barge lying
at Warmers wharf, He was pulled ont
and started for home. To the jury Nc
Oormick said he did not know what be.
came OF McCluIg until he was sent for
to go to the morgue Sunday, and there
he identified the remains.
The presumption is that the two men
strayed to Shipley street wharf aud
both must have walked overheard at the
same time.
McClurg had in one of his pockets a
pocketbook containing $l.63, which the
coroner found when he examined the
clothing. The remains were inferred AT
Riverview on Monday afternoon by
Deputy Coroner Chandler, the expense
being borne by friends.
McOlurg was born at Kllalea, County
Downes, where he now has wife and
four children. He has been in this
country about II years. For some time
he worked on the farm of Thomas GRAY,
near Riveryiew.

OF Scott Church, made few preliminary
) remarks concerning the crusade against

his sermon Sunday evening.
"During the past two weeks" he said,
there have been paid into the munich
pal court in fines and forfeited bonds
+. about " 100, as a result of the war that
mas been made on the evil-doers of the
city And yet there are certain people
who are very angry. The maddest men,
AQWever, are the officers. But why
tpey should be angry cannot tell. Ii
You can tell me why men sworn to see
that heflaws are carried out are mad
because we are endeavoring to suppress
crime, then can tell you more than
: aow understand.
WHAT IS THE sIGNIFIoANCEf
II the officers are mad now they will
have cause to be madden still before
January, 1895. But then / wont say
any more about that now. Well wait
for developments.
