Death of George McVey.

  George McVey, a machinist of fine attainments, died about six o'clock 
this morning at the residence of Mr. J. P. McCaskey, at Mulberry and 
West King streets.  The cause of death was a complication of diseases, 
chief of which was an affection of the heart.  He has been ill since 
last summer.  He came to Lancaster from New York, intending to remain 
here a couple of days with his sister, Miss E. McVey, who resides with 
the McCaskey family.  His condition was such, however, that he was 
unable to go, and his health steadily grew worse.  Mr. McVey had a 
situation waiting on him at the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, 
but his illness prevented his acceptance of the position.
  Deceased was thirty-eight years of age.  He was formerly a resident 
of Lancaster and his family was well known here.  The body will be 
taken to Philadelphia and interred in Laurel Hill cemetery.
