The Dying Tramp Found in a Car.

  The TRIBUNE yesterday made mention of a tramp being found in a dying 
condition at Bridgeport, a siding near Mill Creek, Huntingdon county, 
and of his death a short time afterward.  An inquest on the body was 
held by Thomas Marlin, Justice of the Peace, and it was decided, from 
the contents of a letter found upon his person, that he had been sick 
for some time and that he had become so weak from hunger and thirst 
that he could not get out of the car.  His name was Martin Curry, and 
Pottsville his place of residence.  He was on his way to Pittsburgh, 
the letter stating that his mother lived there.  He was buried at the 
expense of the county.
