JB Crozier Died Suddenly.

James B. Crozicr, colored. of No.
SIS East Eleventh street, died sud-
denly last evening at his home. lie
was about IS wears OF age and Cor
oncr Nandevcr has ordered a post
norton examination to be made III
order to ascertain the cause OF
Crozicr $ death. CrozIer has been
employed at the works OF the Pussy
and Jones Company and Tor years
has been accustomed to visiting
Kcatlnp's saloon at Fourth and
Pine streets. He spent all day
there Yesterday and the bartender
Patrick Devlin decided it was best
TO send the man home and did so
last evening in cab. Crozler en-
tered the saloon before noon and as
usual ate his lunch. lie was eX-
cccdingly quiet yesterday afternoon
and slept in his chair. He was
awakened and as he seemed to be
somewhat dazcd lie was given a
drink of liquor and then sent to his
home. After arriving home he died
inside of half an hour without be-
coming conscious. The police made
an Investigation and were convinced
that there had been no foul play al
though it had been reported that
sl5 had been taken away from him.
When his pockets we're searched
last night $50 was found =.
Walter Heating who runs the sa'
loon, has known Crozicr for years.
He was Il lrcqucnter of the place
and ALWAYS showed to be OF lively
disposition. But during his stay
at the saloon yesterday he kept
very quiet and did not say why he
was not at work. AS Crozier was
always respected the saloon people
did not bother him when they san
him asleep. Edward Cannon and
Abram Waller VINO accompanied
Crozicr to his home called at the po-
lice station and told all they knew
of the case. Coroner Nandevcr
stated that he considered it best to
hold 4 post norton.

"My name is Drew and here | am
to know what this means, said a
wcll-dressed young man to Captain
Black this morning AS he showed
the captain an,articlei in Philadel-
phia paper. The article stated
that Charles Myers, aged II years,
of No. 1427 North Twenty-cighth
street, Philadelphia, had been COM
mttcd to the House of Refuge By
Magistrate Romig upon the COM
plant OF his mother. The latter
had S24 in a trunk and Charles
broke open the trunk and took the
money, of that amount $40 was
spent in some unknown manner.
Then he went to a pawnshlp at
Nntccnth and Ridge avenue and
bought flute for s.. He then
wanted to buy Il clarlonct and told
the pawnbrokcr that his teacher
sent him to buy the instruments.
The pawnbroker took the lad S
money and told him to so 10 his
mother. The lad went across the
street crping and Constable Shibcr
was called across the street by
William Drew who had been with
kid Tolts and "Reddy' Welsh.
Drew left Philadelphia and is
deeply incenscd at the report as it
stated that he wanted Constable
Shibcr to go with him to the pawn
shop and state that Drew was the
lad s lathcr so as TO get the money
and they would divide up. Captain
Black sent Drew back to No. par
lor, where he will be the guest of
New Castle county until Captain
Miller of Philadelphia gets a chance
to invcstlgat the case.
