VIII Probe Mans Death.

Coroner Prick will go to Farnhurst to
day to make an investigation into the
death of Jacob Hauser, who died in
the State Hospital for the Insane Mt that
place on Monday night. Hauser is said
to have had blackened eye and other
bruises upon his body. The condition of
his face and body caused ugly rumors
to be circulated yesterday. Relatives of
the deceased not being satisfied com
planned to Attorney General II. II. Ward
yesterday. Attorney-Gencra Ward yes.
tcrday instructed Coroner Frck to in
yestgate the case.
Mr.. Hauser was 70 years old and
had been in the hospital for about four
teen years. He never complained Of hav-
ing been ill-trcated. For number of
years he was city constable and at one
time proprietor of Barnum's Hotel. Fifth
and Orange streets. His wife and sew
cral children who reside at No. 2O5 Fifth
avenue, survive him.
Superintendent Hancker of the hos.
pital made the following statement in
regard to the case:
Jacob Hauser, who formerly was a
saloon keeper. was here since 1892. and
none of his friends have been here to see
him within the last four or five years.
On April Is or 16, he showed signs of
failing and had him transferred to the
intirmary ward where he could have bet
ter care.
ION the night of April 20 he was put
in Il room with George Magre another
patient. Magee objected to him being
there. and struck him in the eye, and
otherwise bruised him. The night watch
man ran in and separated the men.
About a week after that EIauscr became
weaker and wanted extra care and atten-
ton. We put him on extra diet. His
daughter was here when he died, about
O'Clock last night. and explained to
her the whole circumstances of how he
received the bruises. lie was IS years
old. and had been failing for some time"
The superintendent further stated that
Mr.. Ilauser died of old age and general
debility. The blow which Magee struck
him he says did not cause his death.

Tried to Raise Tug.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
by the Delaware Construction Com
pany yesterday to raise the tug boat
Philadelphia which sunk at the
wharves of the Harlan and Holings-
worth Company on Sunday.
Early in the day the Laura B.,
with a hoising apparatus in tow, went
to the scene Of the wreck and after
several hours work succeeded in plac-
ing chains around the vessel, but
when the attempt to lift was made
the Philadelphia, refused to bulge.
Other attempts were made but final
~ the apparatus was taken away and
the efforts proved a failure. 1t is
likely that different method of float
ing the submerged boat will be at.
tempted in few days.
