by the police lying near the foot

police station, where restoratives
were administered, and when he
had revived sufficiently he stated
that his name was p. II. Jones' and
that he was from Fort Wayne,

Mr.. Jones was removed to the city
hospital last evening. where he be-
came delirious and died about nine
o'clock. The police are on the
track OF the murdsrers, who are
supposed to be from Baltimore or
Washington, as the clerk at the
hotel states that they came in just
after the arrival OF the Washing
ton train. The clerk is positive he
can identify them.

detective OF marked ability. He could
assume almost any character and de-

withal an honest, faithful servant to

At an early hour on the following
