Mysterious Death. - In Duncansville on Thursday evening, Millie
Langham, a young lady, left the house of the family in which she was
employed as a domestic, and went to the residence of her sister, in
the immediate vicinity.  She was in the enjoyment of her usual health.
After reaching her sister's house she was taken sick.  Although
apparently in great bodily agony, vomiting terribly and exhibiting
other alarming symptoms, she absolutely refused to have a physician
sent for an persisted in declaring that she would soon be well enough.
The family left her and the next morning she was found dead.  She was
buried on Sunday.  The coroner was not notified.
