CAUSE OF A STRIKER'S DEATH.

    TROY, March 6.--The Coroner's jury in the case of Jacob R. Drum, who was shot last week while in company with other strikers, employes [sic] of Hoyt and Wynkoop's Nickel Works, engaged in intimidating John Wynkoop, and who died last Wednesday, rendered a verdict that death was by apoplexy. The verdict is in harmony with the evidence.
