The Coroner is in tribulation over
the rejection of his bill by both county
and city for holding an inquest over
the death of John Delacatour, which
it was alleged had resulted from neg

no physician, to issue the certificate
required by law t. secure burial per-
NIT, and unless the Coroner could be
officially authorized to perform this
technical requirement, the arbitrary
provision would, OF necessity, have to
be ignored to consign the body of the
dead to Mother Earth. Mr.. HartsC ok, ,

hold inquest hereafter unless Il guar

The Wiley Navigation Co. had
under contemplation the construction
of ways Mt the west end OF First street
for repair of their steamers, and asked
the city to vacate that part of the
thoroughtare for that purpose. This
was refused, probably for sufficient
cause-want OF authority; but We
think the owners of adjacent property
make Il grave mistake in Directing to
this use OF II street, which will be re.
qifed for no other service for many
long years. The repair of the COM
pany's boats here is Just the kind of
business activity which should he e..
couraged and we fail To discover
why and whence opposition should
como.

der treatment at the hospital for
pneumonia, died Wednesday night.
He bad so far recovered from the
iiIst attack as to leave his bed and
come down town, and it was thought
that a speedy recovery would epsuc,
: when he was taken with a relapse
a few days ago, which soon exhausted
the remaining vitality. Deceased WAS
a native OF Canada, IS years Of nrr.
unmarried and without relatives in
this State. He was member of the
Fraternal Order Of Eagles, which
organization cared for him during his
illness and buried him to day with
the honors OF their ritual.
