DIED IN HIS SHoP.
Lifoiess Body of Joseph VI. David Found 1
His Place of Business Yesterday Mornin,

LifoieSs Body of Joseph VI. David Found In
His Place OF Business Yesterday Morning.
The lifeless body of Joseph NJ. David,
aged about 10 years, was found yesterday
morning on the floor of his shop and
dwelling place, a ope-story frame build
ing on Pennsylvania avenue Just east Of
du Pont street, and taken to the coro-
ner's morgue by Deputy Coroner Ferris
Giles. Death evidently resulted from
vertigo.
David, who is said to be brother
of Mrs. Mary S. Preston of No. 102
West Eighteenth street, this city, and
an uncle of Mrs. Mary A. Carlisle of
Strickersville. Pa, lived alone in the
front room Of the little building. A
portion of the room he had converted
into workshop having fitted it with
bench tools for working in brass. He
was an inventor and is said to have
been the owner of several valuable
patents.
David had occupied the building,
which is Immediately in front of the
residence Of Mrs. Mary l.. Crozier, No.
100 Pennsylvania avenue. about three
or four months. The people in the
neighborhood knew very little about
him.
He had cot in the rear of the room,
but had been SO sick during the past
few days that he was unable to get up
on it. He refused to allow anybody tc
help him or send for physician or go
to hospital.
Two young women made the discovery
yesterday morning that David was dead.
They noticed that one of the shutters
was open and looked inside. They
notified Mrs. Crozier and message
was sent to the coroner's office. Deputy
Coroner Giles took possession of the
body and began an investigation.
When Mr.. Giles arrived on the scene
he found the body on the floor. Under
it was a quilt and some clothing. Arti-
Giles of clothing were also scattered
about in other parts of the room. The
place was found to be badly in need Of
renovating and the health officers were
notified.
Mr.. Giles went to the residence OF
Mrs. Preston to notify her, but was in
formed by neighbors that the family
had gone to the Adirondacks for the
summer. 1t is expected that relatives
will claim the body either today or
tomorrow and an inquest will probably
be held tomorrow.
Coroner Vandever said yesterday
he had known David for several years.
He was born in London Britain town
ship, Chester county, Pa, but has re-
sided in Wilmington for some time.
He was a machinist and very proficient
at his trade. So far as the coroner
knows, none of his inventions ever did
him much good, from financial stand
point. others deriving the benefit there
from.

ern Railway Held Up by Four Men.
Associated Press Dispatch be- Special Wires.
Trinidad, COL, July -. -Southbound
passenger train No. on the Colorado
& Southern railway was robbed by four
men at a point five miles south Of Fol-
som, N. NJ. The hold-up occurred at
1890 O'Clock last night, at the same
point at which passenger train was
held up last September. After the train
had been brought to a standstill and
the crew had been intimidated by guns,
the robbers used dynamite with good
effect, blowing open the sides of the
express car.
Superintendent Webb and Wells
Fargo Express Agent Glover both state
positively that nothing was secured by
the robbers. Mr.. Webb left for the
scene of the hold.up on a special train,
accompanied by officers with horses.
He is confident he will be able to over
take the robbers.
There were but few passengers on
the train, and they were not molested
As soon as the robbers had searched
the express car, they mounted horses,
which were hitched nearby, and, firing
few shots to alarm trainmen and pas
sepgers, fled without any attempt to go
through the mail car. Parties here,
who claim to know, say there was q
large amount of money in the express
safe, as well as valuable express matter.

schuylkill Dredgers Have Removed the
Menace to Big ships.

nchuyiktu DreuEcrs nave Removed the
Menace to Big ships.
Philadelphia Times, yesterday.
+ Chief Webster, of the Survey Bureau,
is much elated at the approaching COM
pletion of the work of dredging the
Schuylkill River, for which the city
appropriated $4,000. This is nearly
all expended, but enough remains to
keep the dredgers at work until fall.
1--WE have dredged the river" said
the chief yesterday, to point beyond
Gray's Ferry bridge and past Bartram,s
Garden, and the appropriation will
admit of the channel being deepened
above Harrison's Point works. What
will be done then l am unable to say,
as the larger class of vessels do not 60
north of this point. The greatest salts
faction is felt in the fact that Schooner
Ledge is no more. That has been
entirely removed, and our tracings
and sweepings fail to find single
point of stone over the depth of 20 feet
This sweep Is one Of the most thorough
that has ever been given an operation
like this, and there mas not been a
square inch of the top of Schooner
Ledge that was not swept clean. The
entire channel is now dredged clean
with the exception of that which
remains to be done between this and
September LIST, and in all probability
the government will commence opera
tions for still increasing the depth OF
The channel. -

Suez, Egypt, July 12-The United
States cruiser Olympia, from Colombo,
Ceylon, CD June 2Sth, arrived here
today.
Admiral Dewey, who is on board the
Olympia, says he is in very good health.
He appears to be in excellent condition,
which is also the case with his officers
and men. Most of them have suffered
from malarial fever, but have recovered.
The Olympia has been quarantined,
no direct communication with the
shore being allowed. Consequently. the
representative of The Associated Press
was only able to converse with the adj
miral from launch alongside the
cruiser.
After passing through the canal, the
Olympia will call at Trieste. There
after, the admiral's plans are uncertain.
Possibly he will go to Gibraltar, and
thence to New York.
Later-The Olympia has entered the
canal.
