CAUSE OF DEATH.
It was asserted at the house last night
that Dr.. Taylor was convinced that the
cause of death was the bursting OF
blood vessel on the brain. But the coro-5
ner said later that he had been misun-
derstood in regard to this. Certain symp-
tons We're present They be onged to
both poison and a number OF otners
causes Of death. He did state. however.
that he was willing to make out the
death certificate assigning unknown;
brain trouble as the cause. But he had
no reason to assert positively that 1t was
this or that it was poison. His dut1es
require him to investigate into death

WHAT MOTHER SAYS.
The statement of Mrs. Rider is most
interesting. She does not think for a
moment that her daughter committed
suicide. She gives the following account
of what happened Monday night and up
of the time of the finding of her daugh-
ter in an unconscious condition: Mr.. Rudd
was at the house until 10 o'clock at night.
She was sitting up waiting for her daugh-
ire to come to bed When the daughter
came she stated that Mr.. Rudd was too
unwell to go home. which was III a DIS
tart part of the city. He was shown to
bed chamber and the daughter went TO
that which she was to occupy Before re-
firing Miss Rider suffered from violent
nausea She became better presently.

was uneasy about her. and several times
during the night visited the daughters
room to see if she wanted anything Al
5 O'clock the young lady was sleeping
peacefully. When Mrs. Rider went TO ner
DAUGHTERS room at o'clock. however. she
onticed that the flesh of the still sleeping
girl was purple. She tried to wake her,
but failed. A few moments later pr IRE
villain was, summoned. When asked about
thu. case. last night. Dr. Trevllian, after
stating his opinion i as a physician, SAID
hiatt he ,nfeferred any further expression
to come from the family.
Mr. Rudd remained at the house All
yesterday morning. and was most use
full to Dr. Trevflian in getting med1-
cines. He did everything in his power to
helm the physicians. Last night he was
still at the house and seemed heart
broken. The mother Is on the verge OF
breakdown She has only her husband
and kind friends for comfort Her other two
children are far away. Her only daugh-
tie now is living in Illinois, and her only
son is in South Africa. Dr. George
Cooper and other well-known gentlemen
