Name	The friends of Andrew Johnston, a well known contractor of South Canonsburg, were shocked late yesterday afternoon to learn of Mr. Johnston's sudden death, which occurred in Wilkinsburg, where he had gone during the afternoon to transact business. Mr. Johnston fell dead on the street, heart disease being the cause of death. Mr. Johnston was walking along the street, when he suddenly sank to the pavement. Two men nearby rushed to him, but he was dead when they reached his side. The body was removed to an engine house nearby and a physician called. The doctor made an examination and pronounced the cause of death to be heart disease. It is believed that the effects of the heat was the cause of the attack which caused death. Mr. Johnston's identity was learned from papers on his person. The residence of W.M. Dickson, South Canonsburg was called up by telephone and Mrs. Dickson informed of the death. She then notified Mr. Johnston's family. Later the body was removed to the Pittsburgh morgue, where in the evening it was identified by his son, Harmen Johnston, and Arthur Hopper, a Canonsburg undertaker. The body was brought to Canonsburg on the midnight train and taken to the Johnston home, 407 South Central avenue.
