A Colored Woman Falls Dead.

Thursday afternoon, about hslf-past four
o'clock, q colOred woman named Jane
Holmes, fell dead at her home near the inter-
section of Broadway and Third streets.
Drs. Gosewlsch and Strsughn were summon
ed by some colored people living in the same
yard, who supposed that Jane had . spasm.
They went at once, but the woman was dead
when they reached the house.
An I~atelligencer reporter visited the house
within ten minutes after the doctors were
summoned, and found the woman lying on
her back, with q calm expression on her face,
the body still warm and the joints flexible.
She Is q yellow woman, about as years old,
rather good looking, and to all appearance
would have been called healthy. DR.. Gose-
wisch says there can be no doubt that she
died of heart disease, as she was too young
for spoplexv, and there are NO signs of
poison. Most poisons would leave the hands
and limbs cramped, while morphis would moi
be so sudden, and arsenic would cause froth-
ing at the mouth.
The woman had just set about preparing
supper tor her family, and was cutting ul
some onions. The pan full Of cut onions was
sitting on the stove, in which 40 fire had
been started. She had fallen backward, and
died without q struggle. Her little boy
about seven years old, was in the kitchen
with her. and was the only witness of he,
death. He ran out and gave the alarm, and
the %neighbors went in. They found hel
dead. but supposed she had q spasm. She
leaves q husband and three children, one 6
son 10 years of age. Her husband was al
work in the coal mines, and word was sent te
him. but he had not arrived when our repor-
ter left. The news of her death soon spread,
and as the reporter lett. he met dozens Of
colored people rushing to the place.
DIR. Russell was informed of the matter, bul
declined to hold an inquest, rs there was nc
room to suppose that her death had beer
caused BY a criminal act.
