AN ourcAsT's DEATH.


Died ~ the Fottsvilio Hospital and the
Body is Unclaimed.
Casper Schrader who said he had no home.
but had relatives living on White street,
Shenandoah, died at the Pottsyile hospital
last evening at 9 o'clock from injuries re-
ceived on Saturday evening by being run
over at Newkirk on the Schuylkill Valley
branch Of the Reading railroad. Schrader
was run over and both legs were badly
crushed. He was removed 10 the pottsvile
hospital. lie 'appeated in good condition
yesterday morning and IL was decided to
amputate both feet. Drs. George II Halber-
stadt and George Farquhar performed the
operations, and during the day the man
seemed to improve. Toward evening, how
ever he began to sink and death followed.
This morning the Pottsyille hospital
authorities telephoned to the HERALD re-
questing the paper to hunt up the relatives or
friends Of the deceased and ascertain
whether they wished to claim the body. On
White street no one interested could be found
and an investigation on North West street,
where a Schrader family resides, also resulted
fruitlessly. The latter family is not related
to the diseased. A continued search led to
the discovery at 22S West Raspberry alley Of
Mrs Sarah Schrader, who is classified as a
widow in the town directory. The woman
stated that her husbands name was
Casper and that she drove him from her
house thirteen years ago on account of his
dissolute habits He was cigar maker by
trade. She did not see him after he left the
house. She heard one time he was employed
at Green Mountain and the last time she
heard Of MIN he was said to be peddling
cigars at Lebanon. The description the
woman gave of her husband Tailed with
that furnished by the hospital. Schrader
was German So years of age Mrs
Schpdcr said she could not claim the body,
as she was too poor to bury it. She lives on
support received from the Directors of the
Poor. A married daughter resides with her.
The daughter has child one year old and
was deserted by her husband nine months
ago. The Pottsville hospital authorities were
informed Of the result of the investigation
aud they stated that Schnder's body would
be sent to the State Anatomical Society at
Philadelphia.
