CONEMAI'OH I.AST EVENINGABOUT EIVE O'CLOCK.

Jeremiah Lynch, uf the Fourteenth Ward,Found Ocnd in the Klver, After an Ab-sence of Several Days?No Alarm Be.

cause He Was Thought to He Out of

the City.

Jeremiah Lynch, a young man, of thoFourteenth ward, formerly Mintrsville,after having been at work during lastMonday, accompanied an acquaintanceto the Pennsylvania Kail road Station,about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, who

took the train. Since then his friendshave heard nothing of h'm until his deadbody was found by Mr. James Dyson lastevening about 5 o'clock in the river, ashort distance above the site of the oldbridge connecting Millville and Cambriaborough.

At 11 o'clock Monday night he wasseen in a house on Iron street, and at alater hour he was in the Company's watercloset, where at a still later Lour his hatwas tound. It was but a shot t distancefrom this place that his body was recov-

ered. At this same place about sevenyears ago he met with an accident on theCambria Iron Company Railroad by whichhe lost one of his legs.

The fan ily were not alarmed at his ab-sence from home, thinking that, he hadgoue to Pittsburgh to get a new artiticialleg, which he had ordered some time ago,

and which was supposed to be ready forhim. And the first information they re-

ceived was fie intelligence of the findingof his body last evening.

He was born in Wales of Irish parentstwenty-six years ago, and the familycameto this place when he was aged five years.His father, Michael Lynch, died nearlythree years ago. For many years the sub-ject of this notice worked in the rail deportment of the Cambria lion Companyunder T. P.

He is survived by ids mother. Mrs.Bridget Lynch, two sisters, Mary andKate, .xnd a brother, Michael, who residein the Fourteenth ward, and by two broth-ers, Daniel and John, who are at PortRoyal. South Carolina.

REFUSED A NON SUIT.

Jurtg White Wishes to Hear all tie Kvi-

?lpucc,

The evidence on belialt of the plaintiffin the suit of Tarbell against the P. R. R.was all in tuis morning and counsel an-

nounced that t'lcir cae would close.The attorneys for the railroad at ouce

moved the Court to enter judgment ofcompulsory non-suit for the followingreasons :

First?That no evidence had been pro-duced showing that the railroad companyhad not taken every reasonable precau-tion and exercised the best care to pro-vide for the safety of its passengers.

Second?That no negligence has beensi own.

Third -That the place at Conemaughwhere the two sections of the Day Ex-press were located, was considered by allto be tlie safest that was then within thereach of the Railroad Company.

Fourth ?That the fiood was a visitationof Providence, and was of such an extent

and so enormous that neither humanjudgment nor the best of care could eitheranticipate or provide against it.

Judge White heard the application andstated at once that he would ret use theuou-suit, as he preferred to hear all theevidence in the case before deciding thequestions raised in the motion. The trialthen proceeded.
