blood clot in the heart. Death occur
red instantly after he fell.
The body was taken to Undertaken
Cusick's morgue on Washington ave-
nue.. DR.. Longstreet conducted the
post-mortem there in the afternoon, and
did not consider it necessary to en-

BIG CIRCUS is COMING.
The Walter l.. Main Grandost and
Rest shows consolidated.

The Walter A.. Main Grandest and
Best Shows Consolidated, one of the
largest and best crcuses and menag-
cries travelling, is advertised to exhibit
in this city Tuesday, May 81. The
Seattle Post-Intelligencer speaks of
this show as follows:
THE circus was in town yesterday,
and the Walter l.. Main Grandest and
Best Shows Consolidated with it's ag-
gregation of wild animals, men, wo-
men, horses, chariots and band, etc.
THE performance, which is given in
two rings and platform, covers a pro-
gramme in which some exceedingly
clever people do many wonderful tricks.
The programme is long. and were it
not for the rapidity with which the
acts succeed one another, and the snap
and vim with which everything is done,
the show would last over three hours
As it is, with the splendid supervision
given to details a perfect Kaleidoscope
of rapidly changing acts is crowded
into two and a half hours. so that
there is never a wait or a hitch The
perfect discipline of the company was
also a subject of favorable comment
yesterday"

An article published in Saturdays

at the postofIice, in which the address
was partially defaced, brought quick
and satisfactory results to the au-

known one to the other, went to the
general delivery window Saturday
morning and notified the clerk as to
whom the letter belonged.
The letter was Immediately deliv-
cred to w. w. Boyer, esq, son-in-laW
of w. w. Alton, of 1886 jefferson ave-
nue., Dunmore, to whom the letter was
addressed. Mr. Alton was out of town

addressed, but contact with other mail
matter had partially defaced it. The
