DOUBTS REMOVED
Little Mabel Doyle Was Not
the Victim of Murder.

Her Death Resulted From Drowning
AIons-Medical Examiner Gilbert Yields
to the Request OF the Police.
QUINCY, Mass, Sept. 10-Medical Elk
aminer Gilbert held an autopsy here at
midnight upon the body Of Mttle Mabel
Doyle. whose mysterious death in the
Neponset river Friday night has caused so
much conjecture. The result confirms
the opinion originally held by the ex.
aminer after his first glance at the re-
mains-that the unfortunate girl met hef
death from drowning. The autopsy dis
covered no marks of violence or foul play
Of any description. This does away with
all suspicious of murder, and shows that
Mabel either committed suicide or fell
into the water by accident
District Attorney Harris Of Norfolk
county issued yesterday the order for the
autopsy to Medical Examiner Gilbert of
Quincy, who had viewed the body on Sat
urday morning and allowed Ii to be sont
30 the home of the childs parents on
Chickatawbut street, Neponset. He did
not deem it necessary to hold an autopsy.
He said death was due to drowning.
The developments in the case have
stirred the Boston police to such a pitch
that they decided an autopsy should be
held to determine more fully the cause OF
the girls death. They feat that the COM
munity would be better satisfied Ii an
autopsy wcre held, and, besides, 1t might
put new phase on the case. There have
been many new features psssonted since
the body was turned over TO the parents,
and they need clearing up.
Acting Superintendent Hunt, too, was
Anxious For an Autopsy,
as were the parents of the girl, but DR..
Gilbert steadfastly declared that there was
no need Of it. He, in fact, induced the
parents to relinquish their idea that an
autopsy was needed. But since then they
are moro convinced than ever that the au- |
topsy should be held.
The acting captain went over to Quincy |
Sunday and did his best to get Dr. Gil |
bert to satisfy everybody by holding the
autopsy. The most he would do was to
offer to write to the district attorney for
permission to hold the autopsy. 1t is nee
essary in Norfolk county for the district
attorney to order all autopsies.
This he did, but it was not until
o'clock last night that DR.. Gilbert received
orders from Mr.. Harris to hold the autopsy.
DR.. Gilbert at once notified Acting Cap
tain Hunt that he would hold the autopsy
at o'clock this morning. The funeral
having been set for this morning, Acting
Captain Hunt communicated with Super
intendent Eldridge and the parents of the
child. IL was the request of Mr.. Doyle
that the autopsy be held at an earlier
hour, so that the funeral could be held at
the appointed time,
Superintendent Eldridge and Acting
Captain Hunt drove over to Quincy at 10
O'Clock last night and had consultation
with DR.. Gilbert. He agreed to come over
and hold the autopsy at midnight.

moment too, snap and rending sound
was heard, and it was seen that the De-

The Valkyrie's main boom had swung
around and fouled the Defenders rigging.
Mr.. Bush, the club representative on the
British boat, was asked by the committee
to put his version of the affair. The fol

before reaching the starting line thereby
causing a foul, which resulted in the
carrying away of her spreader and the
springing of her topmast."

have resulted in securing a depth of 10 feet

project. In 1873, before the work of inn

win be engaged on the work of obtaining
greater width. The jetty work is pracu-

crosses satisfactorily and an examina-

being practically monoliths or solid stone
walls, the stone having cemented together
and the whole being covered with a
thick growth of shells Great difficulty
was experienced in building the two-last

the contractors, on account of their ex-
posed conditions. 1t is believed on this
account that If congress makes an appro-
priatiOn to build the breakwater at Ty-
bee, or the prolongation of the oyster
bed training wall much difficulty will be
experienced in securing capable and res
ponsible contractors to do the work, the
exposure to dangerous storms being so
great as to threaten the extinction of any
profit.

dredge are in process of construction.
When the work contemplated under the
present project Is completed, it is not ex-
peeted that the depth secured Will be
permanent, unless more money is appro-
priated and further work carried out. As
Is well known, during high fresnets. the
velocity Of the current In the Upper Sa-
Nannah river is very great and, conse-
quently, so much sediment is carried down
into the tidal portion of the river that
shoaling Is apt TO occur. Not to prevent,
but to remove the shoaling, provision must
be made for certain amount of dredging
annually, at Marsh Island, in front of the
city, Wrecks Channel upper mouth of
South Channel upper and lower flats and
at Long Island crossing.
To protect the outer portion of the ship
channel against destructive wave action
and to afford shelter TO a much-frequented
outside anchorage, the use of which is at
present attended with much risk, the con-
struction of a detached portion of Oyster
Bed training wall must be begun and
completed. This work is imperatively nee
esssary, because If the port of Savannah
is to derive the full benefit of its twenty
six foot channel, it is necessary that this
wall be built, so that the entrance to the
harbor will not be liable to sudden fuctu-
alton, and adequate facilities may be Of
fered to the constantly increasing ship

THE MANUFACTURING OUTLOOK.
New Industries Continually Being
Established in savannah.


During the last year many new indus
tries have been established in Savannah
Varnish works, tinware factories, lamp
black factory, two brass boundaries and
several smaller industries.
All of Savannah manufacturing enter
prises over 100 in number, have been fairly
successful, and this fact is so
universal desire to encourage new
enterprises. There are few places in the
south, or in the United States, where a
practical manufacturer, with experience
and small means, will find warmer well
come and more substantial aid. in securing
site or financial backing, than in Sa-
vannah.
To recognize the success of man
ufacturing and to decide that more manu-
featuring enterprises are needed is tan
tamount to having them, as Savannah's
capitalists have always responded lber-
ally to any call made on them, whether it
was a new railway, new hotel or some
| industrial undertaking. The Atlanta ex-
position WILL no doubt, call the atten-
ton of manufacturers to Savannah
great advantages. especially since every
effort is made to advertise its resources.
Experience has shown that the greatest
benefit derived from an exposition does
not accrue only to the city where it is
held, but to neighboring cities. The cen-
tennial exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia
added 100000 population to Baltimore That
in 1S&-5 in New Orleans helped Texas as
