GEARY
Coroner Horton held an inquest, on Friday, the 16th, at No. 47 Fulton street, upon the body of a child about one year old, the son of Francis and Mary Geary, which, from the evidence, it appeared had died of starvation and exposure. The family arrived in this country from Ireland in June, and took up their residence at Yonkers. They came to New York about the 1st of July in the hope of finding employment. Being unsuccessful they were compelled to seek food and shelter where they could find it. Some says since Mr. Gamble, residing at the above number, found them in from of his door. He provided them with food and shelter. The child being very sick soon died. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that it died "of cholora morbus, produced evidently by want and exposure."

GIBBONS | MORAN
Two Young Men Found Dead Locked in Each Other's Arms.
New York, Dec, 5.—That two young men who were found dead to-day, locked in each other's arms, entered into an agreement to commit suicide simultaneously by gas is the belief of the police. The men were James Gibbons and James Moran, the former of whom had been employed as a penman at the St. Louis Exposition. Their bodies lay in a small room on the top of a Second avenue house. According to the information gained by the police. Gibbons hired the room a short time ago under an assumed name, and Sunday while he and Moran were at his home he was reproached by his mother for dissipated habits. The youth assured her that she would not have cause to chide him much longer. The room was thick with gas fumes when the young men's non-appearance today led to an investigation, and all possible openings to outside air had been stuffed with pieces of newspapers.
