WILLIAM M. SlNGERLY.
Sudden Death of the Proprietor of the
Philadelphia Record.

FHuduelpnld hSCoIu.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 27.--William M.
Singerly died suddenly at his residence,
17O1 Locust street, this afternoon. Heart
disease was the immediate cause of
death. Mr.. Singerly had been suffering
for about ten days from cold, and had
remained at home since last Wednesday,
While sitting in his bedroom smoking a
cigar, he was seized with a violent fit of
coughing and Immediately afterwards
fell over dead.
In the room at the time We're Mr. Sin
gerly's granddaughter, Miss Mabel Sim
gerly Meredith, and two servants. The
physicians say they had frequently eau
toned Mr.. Singerly that his heart was
weak as a result of excessive smoking,
and of late his custom was to take a
dry smoke, Today, however, his cigar
was lighted, and ii is thought that the
smoke brought on the coughing spell,
the severity of which ruptured a vessel
of the heart.
William NJ Singerly was proprietor of
the Record Publishing Company, presi-
dent of the Chestnut Street National
Bank and the Chestnut Savings Fund
and Trust Company, which recently coll
lapsed, and president of the Singerly
pulp and paper mill He was member
of the Paramount park commission, and
until lately its treasurer. He was a trus-
tee of the Philadelphia commercial
museum.

Of real rest for Capt. Sigsbee and his
officers since the disaster The strain
has been intense, and the comparative
quiet came as blessing to all.
Chaplain Chidwick tried to make Sr-
rangements to send the body of Fred
eTick C. Holzer north by steamer, but
found it impossible owing to the health
regulations. The body found last Fri
day was identified today as that of Ji-
gos, the coppersmith, German.
One of the bodies found yesterday is
still unidentified, but Chaplain Chadwick
has a careful description of the tattoo

one who Will recognize the marks.
Many Americans attended church this
morning, and more were present at a
bull fight this afternoon. Lieut.. Com
mander West, Rear Admiral SicaTd S

cote yesterday, returned or the same

brought important dispatches in cipher

Senator Proctor has been exploring the
city today. He took breakfast with
Miss Clara Barton, at her suburban resi-
dence, and with other Americans wit
messed the usual noon distribution of re-
lief to the reconcentrados. No arrange
nnents have been made for calls by Sem
ator Proctor upon Gen. Blanco and the
other Spanish officials, but it is expected
that he will call informally upon several
during the week. Consul General Lee
will accompany him.
The report that Capt Sigsbee and the
officers of the Maine will be examined
in the admiralty court tomorrow is
probably untrue, as they have not been
notified
The United States officials believe that
Spain has moral right to make the
examination contemplated by them on
the Maine. American divers under
| Capt. Sigsbee's direction will be at work
on the wreck at the same time as the

such help as is consistent in viewing the

interrupted. The return of the court OF

A GOOD MAN GONE WRONG
William Draws His Handy Revolver and
Shoots Colored Man of His
Acquaintance.

William H. Goode, janitor at Horti-
cultural Hall, was locked up at Station
l, Sunday evening, for assault with a
dangerous weapon on William Steven
son, who IS employed by c. A. Vaughn
contractor.
The assault took place at the barn
80 West street. about o'clock Sunday
evening. Stevenson was engaged in
taking care of the horses, when Goode
came along. They got into an argl-
ment, at the height of which Goode
drew a 22-calibre revolver and fired at
Stevenson, the bullet barely grazing the
back of his left hand Robert Vaughn
and James L. Marshall, who were in the
neighborhood, heard the shot and
rushed to the scene.
They took the revolver away from
Goode, who was thoroughly excited,
and summoned the police When bhe
police arrived the man who did the
shooting had disappeared but walked
into the station soon after their return
and gave himself up.
Goodies story of the trouble is that
Stevenson owed him Is cents and paid
up, with What he supposed was a. dollar
bill, but which turned out to be stage
money. He went to see Stevenson Sun
day afternoon, and demanded the rs
cents he had given in change. Steven
son refused and struck him. He then
pulled the revolver in self-defense.
Stevenson denies the story. and Rob
ern Vaughn, who saw the affair, says
it is not true. Vaughn saw the men
together and heard them talking, but
the only move on the part of Stevenson
was to put up his hand and push his
assailant away Goode then drew the
revolver and fired.
Both participants are colored. The
police say Goode was arrested in Bos-
ton a year ago last July, for shooting
a man. He was sentenced at that time
and served six weeks of his sentence.
