Died Among Strangers.

  The TRIBUNE'S correspondent at Martinsburg writes as follows:
  On Friday last a young man traveling along the highway toward 
Altoona, just this side of Curryville, took sick and entered the house 
of Jacob Law, a well-to-do farmer in North Woodbury township.  The 
young man suffered intense pain from what appeared to be cramp until 
Sunday morning, when Dr. Bonebreak was called in.  Upon examination it 
was discovered that he was suffering from inflammation of the bowels.  
Mr. Law and family acted well the part of the good Samaritan and are 
deserving of the highest praise.  He lingered until 1 o'clock this 
(Tuesday) morning when death relieved him of his sufferings.
  It was learned from the young man that his name was Ephriam McGinley 
and that his parents reside at Hopewell, Bedford county.  He worked 
some time ago at Behm's hotel in Altoona, took sick and went home.  
Becoming convalescent he was able to be out, when his father compelled 
him to seek shelter elsewhere, and the young man started for McKee, 
where he expected to remain a few days with some friends or relatives.  
He was 28 years of age.  A dispatch just received from Hopewell informs 
us that the friends of Mr. Ginley [sic] are on the way to remove the 
remains to his home, where the interment will take place.
