ment seems either unwilling or unable to
suppress the trouble. Troops show no en-

The death of Lizzie Rafferty,, which
occurred at No. 45 Dart street. early
yesterday morning. was made the sub
ject of particular investigation, by Med
ioal Examiner Palmer. during the af-
ternoon.
The young woman had apparently
been in an excellent physical condi-
tion: but when DR., Palmer learned her
history, he soon found the cause of the
trouble.
Belonging TO a respectable family,
there had been no reason why her man
ner OF living should have been what she
chose to make 1t. To her relatives 1t
was utterly inexplicable.
DIR. Palmer learned that about doz-
EN- years ago the woman, then mere
child. had attempted TO secure some
grapes on the Davis estate. now Davis
park. and had fallen from a trellis a
distance OF II feet. striking upon her
head and becoming unconscious. She
remained in comatose condition for
