WORKER is FOUND
DEAD IN STREET
.Anderson's Body Discovered
in Early Morning Death
Due to Natural Causes.

The body of Nils Anderson, aged
AZ, one sof the best known of bridge
mechanics of the New Haven road,
with which he had been employed
for the last Is years, was found at
the intersection of Boston avenue
and Hanett street early this morning
It is believed that while walking
in the vicinity of the Remington
Arms Company yesterday he was
overcome with illness to which he
had been subject for some months and
expired before he could attract aid
Discovery of the body1was made. by
some workers in the Arms plant,
who telephoned to second precinct
policies tation. Sergeant Wagner
and PatroIman Wolff at once took
charge of the. remains until permits
sion to remove them to the Cullinan
& Mullins fnorgue was given by Med
icaI Examiner S. NJ Garlick. The
body was later transferred to the
undertaking parIors of E.. Ortlepp &
with whom. Anderson had lived for
many. years.
Though he never married, Ander-
son was a great lover of children and
on the East Side, where he had a
host of friends was endeared to many
families through his fatherly care of
the little ones.
He had risen from the ranks of
railroad, wopk ers after coming to this
country from. Norway when but a
youth. Coming to Bridgeport Is
years ago he was considered one of
the most efficient bridge repair men
in the New Haven roads employ. The
news of his death will bring sorrow
to his many friends in this city and
particularly to Court @Iranistan, For
esters of America, in which lodge he
had held high office. No relatives
survive.
Medical Examiner Garlick gave a
preliminary opinion that death came
from natural causes as there is no in
tinlation that he either committed
suicide or met with foul play.

Budapest. April 1g.-A ful descrip- ton of the history of the fortress of Przemysl and its garrison has been issued by the Austrian general staff, giving am account of the capture, tdc suffer.nes of the men. and details re- latug to the provisioning of the gar rlson The statement in part is as follows:
 The garrison of the fortress held Przemysl to the very latest hour that human force could do so in the mli- tary sense of the word. General Kus- manek only surrendered when such d course was dictated by humane and military considerations On ihe day of the surrender there was not a sim gle morsel of food in tIe fortress and no breakfast could be supplied to the men.
 Nothing positive is known yet as to the terms of surrender but pre- sumably they had to surrender uncon. ditionaly, aud Generals Kusmane1 and Tamassy Cchief of the Houyel forces) were taken prisoners with all the garrison. Under them were. The Honyed division of Versacz, the East Galic.an Landwehr, the Northern Hun garian and Galiciau Landstum. the Hungarian Artillery Division aul the fort artillery detachment of the First Austrian Laudsturm Artillery.
 Events have developed around Przemysl more quickly than was ex- pected During the last sor(ie it was ascertained that the Russians had built nterfortif.cations all around the fortress even in the direction of their own territory preparing for all eventualities In fact thc Russiau1 built new fortress all around the be- sieged territory.

 With regard 10 provisions the fort ress was well supplied at the outset. but the stores were consumed at the time of the first investment which lasted until October fl. On that date tine fortress was relieved and Gen eral Boreyich entered the fortress with his army. The railway lines aad been blown mp by the retreating Rus sans On the Galician roads it WAS mpossibIe to transport anything at that time and this fact obliged ms 10 provision the army fighting to the east of Przemysl from the stores of the fortress, the army being cut off from all other points of supply.
 "It was thus necessary to draw pro visions from the ample stores of Przemysl in the nope that as soon as the railway line was reconstructed the stores could be replaced. The railway line was reconstructed, and on october 23 the first trains began 10 move toward the fortress.
 "At the end of ten days, however. and before the deficiencies could be made good, Przemysl was invested anew.
 At this period the situation fin North Poland made it necessary for us to withdraw our flank in Galiciq.
 During the ten days at our disposal the transport of ammunition took place. The question of provisioning inc fortress appearing at that time 10 be q secondary matter; when event 'aI.y food supplies were despatched Co Przemysl it was too late.

Later on this minimum was further reduced SO that the mea of the garrison were on almost star. yatiou diet for the last two months of the siege.
