Monday morning the watchman at tne tiummck T lndham Manufactur ing piant found Uriah Linderbeck, en gineer at the power house, lying dead in the drum of the large boiler which he had been repairing. Sunday Kngineer l.inderbeck with a gang of mere was making repairs on the boilers and as they were anxious to finish they returned at midnight to finish the Job. Mr. Linderbeck was the first to return, and crawling I h rough a small hole iifto the drum of the boiler began work.1 After work ing for a few minutes he crawled out 'o cool off, then returned to the Job vhere the watchman left him about 12.40 a. m.

Ths cisc of applying, the quickncs9 of relief, the positive results, the clean liness, and ths economy cf Sloan's Liniment make it universally preferred. 89c. c, Jl.20 los Tremblay, came back with Fire man Bert Green, they heard no noise, so investigated and saw M. Linder beck lying with a hammer in his right hand and an electric light wire and globe in his other hand. The two men pulled- Mr. Linderbeck from the drum and called Dr. Jenkins, who Sould do nothing as the man was dead when found. Medical Examiner Ur. . JS. Wilcox was called and after investi gation gave permission for the remo val or the body. It is doubtful whether excessive heat or electrocution was the cause, of the death, as when Mr. Tremblay touched the body to get. it out cf the drum, he received an electric shock before the current was turned oft. ' There were severe burns on Mr. Linderbeek's chest, chin, forehead and hands which the medical examiner thought were made after Mr.' Linderbeck had died. Dr. Wilcox is of the opinion that the death was caused by overheating. weakening the heart so that the elec trie shock caused instant death and the burns were caused by the electric ity after death. Mf. Linderbeck was horn hi Gardi ner, risfer county, New York, Nov. 19, 1871, and has lived in this city for the past seventeen years, the last H being with the Quidnick-Windham Mfg. Co.
