FOUND DEAD IN A BARN.
Lonely Existence Of William frederick
Comes to sudden Death,

Comes to a sudden Death.
William Riederich, aged probably 50
years, without friends or relatives, at
4.3O yesterday afternoon was found
dead in a barn where he was allowed
to make his home. in the rear of 701
Meadow avenue, in the upper part of
the Nineteenth ward, near the Erie and
Wyoming Valley railroad.
The decea sed was a German. He
came to this city in 1870 and followed
the trade of painter. For three or four
years back he eked out a precarious
existence, and was chiefly dependent
on the charity of the ne.ghbors. Bern
ard Bubel owned the barn where Riede-
rich lived since August
He had never been married, and did
what odds and ends Of painting fences
and chahs, ETC., that he managed to
procure. The stable was quite a COM
Portable little place. He had his kit
chen, dining room and parlor down
stairs all in one. and slept in a narrow
apartment upstairs. the floor of which
was covered with manila paper.
Everything Ncn, nm Cicrn.
The walls were papered with ma
terial similar Ito that ON the floor.
Everything betokened the most abject
poverty, but. withal. there was an air
Of cleanliness and order about the
premises. He had been in very poor
health for three months, and suffered
from acute diabetes. 1t was noticed by
the Bubel family that he had not been
around for ccal or water since Satur-
day night, and Mr. Bubel went up to
the barn to inquire the cause of It.
He climber n ladder to a small window
in the upstairs and saw Riederich on
the small cot. Calling neighbor, he
burst the door in. The body was still
warm.
DIR. ]. A. Manley was summoned; !;
alderman Storr, of the Nineteenth
ward, was also sent for to hold an
inquest ut having been heard that
Coroner Kelley was not in the city.
DR.. Manley made an examination Of
the body and informed Mr.. Storr that
an Inquest was unnecessary, death hav-
ing been caused from collapse of the
kidneys. and general breaking down
of the system. Coroner Kelley arrived
a little later and decided that an in
quest was unnecessary. The funeral
may take place this afternoon.
lie Died All Alouc.
Rie6erich's possessions include a few
copper pennies, two sacks of -four and
a ham. The fire was out and every
thing around the place appeared as If
he had laid down to sleep Saturday
night, became unconscious and re-
mained In that condition until a brief
time before his body was discovered,
when he lapsed into the last sleep
that knows no waking.

NOT HIS GREATEST WORK.
A black Sheep 10 Nevertheless q Yer
Entertaining Farce.

S~ S"seP - NeVertheieSs Q Very
Entertaining Farce.
"A Black Sheep" one of Hoyt's latest
farces, which had its first production
IN this city Saturday night at the
Academy or Music. Is not the greatest
stage, neither Is 1t destined to live as
long as some of its predecessors from
that farce writer's prolific pen, for in II
Mr. Hoyt has taken step backwards
towards "A Tin Soldier" and "A Brass
Monkey" He has injected into 1t more
noise, but less real humor and clever
ness than he did into "a Trip to China
town." The public has found that Mr..
Hoyt is capable of really good work in
his line and 1t is naturally a disap-
pointment to see him returning to the
slam-bang order Of farces.
Even with the faults Of being two
loud and containing too much horse
play, "A Black Sheep" Is entertaining
and the large audience that saw the
performance Saturday night enjoyed
many hearty laugh as the details of
the very transparent plot were reveal
ed. The dialogue is clean and quite
clever and there Is a good deal OF bright,
original music. A situation that might
be cut out with benefit to the farce Is
the one at the end of the second act,
where the black sheep of the Mudd
family is endeavorlng to get acquainted
with the girl his aunt's will commands
him to marry. 1t Is not humorous and
certainly has no other feature to rec
ommend 1t.
The success of Saturday nights per-
formance is due more to the company
than to Mr.. Hoyt. Otis Harlan was
the bright, particular star of the occa-
sion and kent the audience in n merry

SAD END OF A YOUNG LIFE.

Iltion.
Gertrude Kellerman, daughter of
John nellerman, of Hamm court, Soutn
Side, died Saturday afternoon of blood
poisoning. She would have been seven
teen years old next December. Among
the people who knew the family there
are whisperings Of suspicious circum-
stances, and they would seem to be
fully warranted according to the infor-
nation gained from an interview with
DR.. j. A. Manley, Of Pittston avenue.
A Tribune reporter called at DR.. Man.
ley's office last evening and this is SUBJ
stantially what he said: II am salts
fled that a criminal operation was per-
formed on her. When l was called to
see her Friday she was suffering from
the result of what I believed was such
an operation, and although made dill
gent inquiry, could elicit nothing from
the girls father or relatives concerning
any person or persons who had used
any instrument on her. She had been
pregnant, and there Is a remote possi-
bility that while In high state Of fever
delivery might have occurred, but l be-
lieve and am confidently sure that an
operation was performed upon her."
The coroner had not been notified last
night, nor has there been any investi-
cation made. 1t was outside of DIR.
Manley's province to make a report of
the matter, as he had been only casu-
ally called in to see the girl. The family
is in destitute circumstances and the
Poor Board assisted them. Inquiry as
to the Identification of the perpetrator
of the criminal operation has been made.
Kellerman Is a shiftless man and his
family Is somewhat wayward. His
other daughter is In the House of the
Good Shepherd. The funeral of the
dead girl will take place this afternoon
at o'clock and interment will be made
in Minooka German cemetery, unless
