DEATH MAKES
SUDDEN CALL


Two sudden deaths occurred among
colored people in this city yesterday.
Death came suddenly. to John Parker.
aged 56 years, living at Fourteenth
and Heald strets, as it did to Edward
McNitt, aged &c years The former
was employed as driver for the Della
ware Terra Gotta Company. and was
driving a cart in Claymont street yes
terday at noon, when he was jolted
from the seat and fell to the ground
One wheel of the cart, which was
loaded with 500 bricks, passed over
his chest The weight broke one OF
his ribs. and he was taken to the
Homeopathic Hospital for treatment
An hour later he appeared to be as
well as ever About 3 o'clock he died
suddenly.
McNitt was found dead on the porch
in front of Isaac Boyle's home, in the
rear Of No. 7l6 West Fifth street.
Boyle became greatly excited when
he found the body and ran to the po-
lice station, where he told the officers
on duty that he wanted help. He
was frightened for fear some one
might accuse him OF having done
something to McNitt. When the po-
lice arrived on the scene they found
McNitt dead. and Coroner Chandler
later removed the body to the morgue
Death was evidently due TO general
debility.
Last January. McNitts wife was
found dead in her home. near Elev-
enth and Walnut streets. and her son
who had created a disturbance in sht
house. was arrested and held by tbs
police for several days until II was
learned that the woman's death was
due to heart trouble.
