<:~~.~ Bean= DXSTri on Tan CITIEF ENGMER OF , I,WAE:IIEPIT.--Dtivid' Lyle , Esq., the - ahlefEttgintior of the Fire Department, was found dead in his office at the' B. %.',iiorner of Fifth and ebbe:tout. streets this' morning. On Saturday Oblei Lyle was in his usual health and ePtrite- About two o'clock: on Saturday nfteindoni West Blake, Eeq., the Secretary or the Department ' _ left the office and was told by the Chief that he need 'not return again. About an hour after watts the deceased was ebiesrved at a place in the neighbOrhOod and returned to his office. That was the lastLeeen of him alive. On Saturday evening Me. Blake was'at the Central Telegraph office, but as there was no light in the Uhler Engineer's office he did not? go In. The;: "Chief resided at No. 817 Filbert street but was not at his house on Or Sunday evenings . lt was not an uPul.„ circumstance for him to slay away all lufint,lint nothing was thought of it. This morn ing,ahout seven o'clock Mrs. Elisabeth Hayes entered the office for the purpose of cleaning it, as Was liet custom every morning. She observed thet'hief lying on the floor near the washstand, with his head •On a spittoon. She called Mr.'Wffiliontlittlard, an operator at the Central Station, and he,in company with Detective War nock, entered the office and found that the Chief w" 4 0C'; The appearance of the corpse kit cated,that he had died in a fit. In left hand was a $l,OOO 7-30 bond, and on 3 w ungtio were : four similar bonds. last had been talking about investing Early some money, and had probably purchased the bonds just previous to his death. The deceased was a native of this city, having n born on Mai. :et stree Seventeenth, an te was abont - 49 years of ag t, e. n H ear e was a house painter by trade., .He had always taken a promi nent interest in the affairs of the Fire Depart ment. He was a member of the Fairmount Fire Company, and for many years had been its Presi dent. This company has a very large membership, and much of its success is due to the personal exertions of Mr. Lyle. In 1860 he was elected Chief Engineer of the Aire Department, and e& tered upon his duties on the Ist of October in that year. He was very popular among the members of the Department, and has twice been re-elected. His present term of office will expire on the Ist of October, 1868. He had expressed himself as a candidate for re-election, and there is no doubt that he would have been successful. He was very liberal in his expendi tures for charitable purposes, and during the war many wounded soldiers were indebted - to him for little luxuries, At every signal for the fire men's ambulances he was always ready, and ,no man worked harder in getting the maimed men comfortably into the ambulances. Anything - which would tend to ameliorate the sufferings of the wounded heroes was not wanting, and Chief Lyle frequently bought whole boxes of oranges and other luxuries to be distributed among them. As an officer of the Department, he was active and energetic, and to those hav ing business with the office he was always courteous and obliging. There is scarcely a member of the Department who will not hear of his sudden demise with much regret. When companies from other towns and cities visited the city, the Chief was always foremost in ex tending to them a hearty welcome, and in escorting them to all the places of interest in the city. In that way he became well known throughout the country, and his death will be a source of regret to all. He was a single man, and his only immediate relations are James Lyle and General Peter Lyle, who was recently elected Sheriff,and is now suffering with a broken leg. The houses of the Hibernia and several other fire companies have been draped in mourning in memory of the deceased. FATAL AccmirET.---While the Washington and New York train was at Chester, on Friday night, Dr. M. M. Mathews, of Rochester, N.
