no marks Of violence. There is no doubt
that the young woman met her death
by drowning, but as 10 whether she wan
dered into the lake by mistake in the
storm or deliberately threw herself in to

Gence. Coroner Hitchins believes the girl
committed suicide.
When the girl started on her drive with

night, she wore a white shirtwaist.

black stripes. She left her jacket in the
carriage All of the other clothes were on
the body save the silk skirt The mys-
terious thing about the absence OF her
skirt is that nobody has found it, If the
girl had removed il before she plunged

have been discovered by this time some
where in the vicinity, which is traversed
continually by the summer visitors.
Or. Sabater. who was asked by the
coroner TO examine the body, said the
young woman had been in the water at

Mr.. Morgan and his cOnfreres TO repeat

agreement is that the city shall place no
more bonds on the market before next
spring II also provides that Mr.. Morgan
will exercise a sort Of censorship over tho
