HARRISON TAYLOR.

  Harrison Taylor, aged 64 years, a colored hostler employed by Dr. 
Levengood, of Bellwood, fell dead in the latter's office Thursday evening of 
apoplexy.  Taylor was apparently in his usual health during the day.  About 5 
o'clock in the evening he entered the office and bent over a cuspidor as if 
to expectorate, when he dropped to the floor.  Investigation showed he was 
quite dead.
  Coroner McCartney went down same evening to investigate the death, but, 
after taking the testimony of the examining physician, decided not to hold an 
inquest.  
  Taylor is well-known in this city, where he has relatives.  He is survived 
by his wife and one son in Bellwood.  Deceased was a soldier in the late war 
and was a member of the Bellwood post of the Grand Army of the Republic.
