A MAN FROZEN TO DEATH
Found Along the P, ". & B. Rail-
road Tracks Between Clay
mont and Bellevue.
May HAVE COME FROM BALTIMORE
Evidently Became Exhausted
While Walking to This City
discovered by a Track
Walker Yesterday.

A man apparently about % years Of
age, whose identity has not been estab-
lished, was frozen to death early yester-
day morning along the sonthbound
track of the p, w. & B. railroad near
Namaan's Creek, between Claymont
and Bellevue. Two slips of paper were
found in his pockets, upon one Of
which was written "Joseph Parr, No.
929 North Wolf street, Baltimore"
and on the other Joseph Raborg, No.
932 North Chester street, Baltimore. !"
Nothing else was found ia his pos
session except deck of playing cards.
From his appearance it is thought
he is Hebrew. He was about feet
inches tall, with rather dark faco
and black, curly hair. He was fairly
well dressed, evidently having taken
the precaution to protect himself from
the elements, and why he should have
met such an untimely death is q
mystery. He had on a blue REFER,
under which were q coat, vest, black
sweater, shirt and understanding. He
also had on light striped trousers and
all of his clothing appeared to be COM
paratively new.
At about SIS o'clock the track
walker on the section between Clay
mont and Bellevue noticed what APP
peared to DO man sleeping on top OF
the snow along the railroad track, and
from his position it was evident that
he had been walking toward this city.
Ee had probably become exhausted or
benumbed by the cold and fell as he
was walking, and being unconscious
remained where he fell.
The track walker made O hasty in
vestigation and found that the man
was breathing. He notified the other
railroad men in the vicinity and
the southbound accommodation train
arriving here at 8.35 O'Clock was
stopped and he was put in the baggage
car. He was brought to the railroad
company's hospital at French street
station and Detective Jones and several
assistants applied restoratives, although
it was apparent that life asIextinct
and that the unfortunate man had
frozen to death. His shoes were re-
moved and an electric battery was
applied to his feet, but to no effect.
DR.. James A. Draper, tho company's
physician, was soon at the hospital
and he arrived at the concluson that
the man had died while being brought
to this city. When the men were re-
moving his shoes they found the shoes
frozen to the unfortunate mans feet.
An examination was made Of tho
effects in his pockets, and, realizing
that the man was from Baltimore,
Detective Jones telegraphed the rail-
road company's officials there, and an
investigation for relatives or friends
was begun in that city at once.
Coroner Vandever was notified and
Deputy Giles removed the body to the
morgue. An inquest will be held as
soon as the necessary information is
obtained. Is
