aided in this city during the past six
months or more, was found dead on the
floor of his room in house No. l2S south
Wasbing;on street, this morning. The

for seyersl days. The owner OF the

moved to Dsmaine & Sons undertaking

learned 50 yet concerning the history of
the deceased. 1t is said he has son liv-
Inc in Baltimore. The deceased was
fully dressed when death overlook him,
he having on bis overcoat and overshoes.
From all the circumstances in connec-
zion with the case it is likely that DR..
