Rogowski's millinery store and resides
on Chatham street, Fair Haven, while
returning home Thursday night, was
pursued by a young man in a, light
overeoat. She ran and succeeded in
eluding him, but when she reached
home she tainted.
Mr.. C. H. Webb says there has been
no sale of the property on Chapel street
now occupied by George A Dickerman,
the florist. So far as he knew the new
owner of the Elliott house, Mr.. Marino-
vitz, has made no effort to purchase the
property and did not contemplate the
erection of an addition to the hotel. An
option on a small portion of the prop
erty was recently taken from Mr.. Webb
by ]. Birney futile, but there has been
no further transaction.
Medical Examiner White thinks that
the death of Mrs. Mary Hanrahan of
451 Davenport avenue who died recent
ly after drinking a cup of cocoa, was
not due, as was at first supposed, to
arsenic in the cocoa. He found no
trace of arsenic, neither in the cocoa
used nor in the dish in which it was
prepared. The members of the family
say emphatically that the death was
not due to poisoning. The woman ex-
hfbited like symptoms many times be-
fore whenever she attempted to eat
anything. They also say that the dish
which was used for the preparation of
the cocoa had been used before and had
never poisoned any of those who par
took of the contents. The body has
been buried, but the cause of death re-
mains unsolyed.
