  Whose home was at 24 Wilson street, Pittsburg, died at the hospital about 2 
  o'clock Saturday afternoon.  Dittler was an upholsterer in the employ of the 
  Pennsylvania railroad company, and after receiving his pay went on a spree.  
  His condition became so serious that he was unable to eat.  He boarded at 
  the Hotel Richelieu, at Chestnut avenue and Eighth street, and they were 
  compelled to force him to eat to keep him alive.  He was removed to the 
  hospital Saturday about noon at died at the hour mentioned.  Dittler came to 
  this city about a year ago.  He was aged about 35 years and is survived by 
  his mother and several brothers and sisters.  The remains were taken to
