Yesterday afternoon Officer Giddings discovered lying dead on the pavement on C street, betwwn Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, an elderly gentleman. The body was removed to the station-house, where he was identified as Mr. John Mills, of Fairfax county, Va., a well-known miller. Coroner Patterson was notified, and after hearing the facts, deemed an inquest unnecessary, as death was caused by heart disease.^[2]
