DEAD ON THE TRACK
Condition of Dennis Sullivan's Body
 Indicates Foul Play.

Dennis Sullivan of Ayers street left here Saturday to visit his brothers. Florence and Daniel Sullivan of Jer- sey City, Yesterday another member of the family, ex-policeman NJ. T. Sul- livan of Round Hill street, was noti- fled What his brother had been found lying beside the railroad tracks at Darlen, and removed to the hospital at south Norwalk where he died about 10 o'clock. Mir Sullivan, accompanied by Undertaken Mulville left for South Norwalk and brought the body to this city. Medical Examiner Huntington. who made out the certificate, stated that death was due to fracture of the skull caused by railroad accident. but he was not quite sure of the latter statement and said he should make further inquiries into the case. There is dent in the mans head which looks more like what wOul result from a blow of club than an injury re- ceived by the cars and this added to the fact that his watch and about $2O in money which he had on leaving here were missing when he was found, has aroused a suspicion of foul play and the evidence to bear out that idea is strong, for the body is not mangled or battered. Something which almost invariably happens when one loses his life on a railroad. The deceased was thirty years of age and resided with his sister, Mrs John Bolton, Ayers street. The funeral will be held to- morrow morning from the residence of his sister on Ayers street at S:30 o'clock to the Immaculate Conception. church. The burial will be in CalvarJ cemetery.

 Warrants.

Chicago, April 24.-On the pretense of serving search warrant three men have gained entrance to the apart ments of Mrs D.

Another panel was then broken, and Mrs Gilmore crawled through. She secured a duplicate key and released GirouX.
 About $5OOO worth of jewelry sought by the robbers, was overlooked.
