William Anderson, a cotton screwman about thirty-three years of age, died 
suddenly near the station-house about half-past 7 o’clock last night, with 
congestive chill. Anderson had been confined to his room with fever, and came 
out in the air while suffering from a delirious spell, and had been on the 
street but a short time when the chill came on, causing death almost instantly. 
The body was taken to the station-house and after an examination by Coroner 
Newton was turned over to the dead man’s friends. The deceased was unmarried 
and was a native of Germany, but had resided in this country for fifteen years.
