DOYLE, THE HICKMAN,
Was Not Murdered, But Died Natural
Death.

Saturday forenoon John H. Doyle died
at the Maine General Hospital. Owing
to the suspicious circumstances attend
ing Doyle's injuries on the night of Sep
TENDER 18th last, County Attorney True
deemed an autopsy necessary, two physi-
clans accordingly made post mortem
The result settled beyond doubt that
Doyle died of pulmonary consumption.
Of course, heavy blow administered co
a man in the last stages of that disease
might have fastened his death, although
the doctors do not say that this was the
case. There was no murder, however,
and there will be no coroner's inquest.
The unfortunate young man was hack
driver for Samuel R. Seeley, who keeps
a stable on India street. He was faith
full, honest and Intelligent. He had oc-
casionally been Incorporate, but three
years ago stopped drinking entirely. He
married, was good husband and father,
and saved his money.
On the night of the assault he relapsed
into his old habits. Early in the evening
with James Seeley, brother of his en-
ploye, he went to Egan's saloon. The
latter says he left Doyle there.
What next occurred is not exactly
known. Doyle got home that night
alone, and was seen going home. He
did not sleep with his wife, and she
found him the next morning on his bed
in stupor with his lower jaw broken
on both sides and hanging down. He
was taken to the hospital and the broken
bones were set, delicate and painful
operation.
For a week he could not speak. Two
front teeth were removed and his food
taken through tube.
When he could speak he had no remem-
branoe of just how he was hurt, SO he
said, and simply had a vague memory
of being in Egan's place and of going
home with his face feeling queer.
He remained in the hospital several
weeks, hut after he went home the frac-
tured jaw refused to knit. He got worse
and began to fail rapidly and was sent
back to the hospital four days ago. His
death naturally renewed the interest
in his case and it was, before thetresult
of the autopsy was made known, sup.
posed to be a murder. 1t has never been
learned who assalled Doyle.

We the undersigned citizens and tax
payers of Portland, most respectfully
petition your honorable body, to have the
drainage and water closets now in the

as to comply with the plans made by

Austin 2. Ford, Fire Commissioner, New

Dear Sir-In reply to your valued favor
OF the 10th inst, would say that we
have in our department one Holloway
chemical engine of 100 gallons capacity,
two 80 gallon tanks, located in the bust
ness section.
This engine has been in commission a
little over three years, during which timejiu
has been in constant use, with very little
need of repairs 1t has proved itself such
a valuable and useful piece of apparatus
that another one is contemplated in the
near future for the residential district of
the city. l am perfectly safe in saying
that at least so per cent of our fires are
extinguished by it. entailing a large
saving of loss by water. We also find it
especially valuable in answering tele-
phone alarms, thereby saving in almost
every case the necessity of calling out the
department..
