A gentleman named C. F. Tingley, son of B. W. Tingley, a celebrated merchant of Philadelphia, died very suddenly at the Burtis House last evening. He had been married only three weeks, and was yet on his bridal tour. He had visited some friends in St. Louis, and came around by Davenport on his way home. During the afternoon, Mr. Tingley and his bride had been riding about the city and vicinity, in company with John L. Swits, Esq., and about 6 o'clock Mr. Swits left the happy pair at the Burtis, apparently in the full enjoyment of health. About an hour afterwards, Mr. Swits received a note informing him that Mr. T. was dead! It appears that after the afternoon's ride, Mr. T. went to his room and laid down, and, to all appearances, dropped to sleep. Mrs. T. stated that he laid there about three quarters of an hour, when he suddenly jumped up, walked once around the room in a very hurried manner, and fell over the stove in a swoon. She sprang to his aid and lifted him upon the bed again. Assistance was called, but he continued to fail, and in about fifteen minutes breathed his last. He was a young man of high standing in society and highly respected. The afflicted bride started home this morning with her husband's corpse, attended by Mr. Swits.
