JOHN COOPER,

A colored man, died at the hospital at 3:30 yesterday morning of
pneumonia.  He was found sick in the street Friday by Officer Weakland
and sent to the hospital.  He was about 40 years of age, and came to
this city from Coalport and resided in Hollidaysburg.  He came to this
city last week, presumably to look for work.  As far as known he has
no friends or relatives hereabouts.  The remains were placed in charge
of Spicer & Co., who embalmed it and placed it in their morgue at
Chestnut avenue and Eleventh street, where it will be kept until
Thursday next.  If no relatives claim the remains by that time they
will be interred at the county graveyard.
