LAY DEAD TWENTY-SIX HOURS—A Negro Dies All Alone in his House on A Street Lane.

Albert Jones, colored, an employee of Dr. W.B. Burroughs, was found dead this 
morning in his house, corner of A street land and H street.

Jones did not show up for work at Dr. Burroughs’ residence yesterday.  This 
morning, as he still did not appear, he was sent for.  The woman who acted as 
the messenger found the door of Jones’ house locked, and, on forcing entrance, 
found the old negro’s body lying on the floor, clothed in nothing but a shirt.

Coroner Jennings was notified, but no inquest was held, as it was evident that 
the deceased had died of heart disease.  He occupied the house alone, and 
death evidently occurred Saturday night.

Jones was a member of the colored lodges of Odd Fellows, but they have refused 
to bury him, as he was not in good standing.  The city will have to pay for 
his funeral.

At 3 o’clock this afternoon the body was still lying as it had been found and, 
as a very unpleasant stench was beginning to emanate from it, the neighbors 
were making a stout kick.  He has been dead almost thirty-six hours, and ought 
to be interred at once.
