"Death by Apoplexy. Mrs. Maggie Jenkins Dies At Her Threshold. Last night Mrs. Maggie Jenkins died at her residence on the corner of Wall and Twenty-eighth, in an apoplectic fit. She had just prepared supper for her large family of boarders, by which she made a living, and stepped to the gate to talk to the grocery man, who was there to take her order for provisions. Mrs. Jenkins was in apparently good health except a slight trouble with rheumatism, and expressed her surprise when a deadly feeling began to creep over her body. Turning to the gentleman she requested him to assist her. Just as he reached the side of the afflicted woman she fell in terrible convulsions, and was carried into the house. In a short time she rallied somewhat, only to be again seized with two consecutive fits, in the last of which she died with severe sufferings.

Mrs. Jenkins leaves three children, the eldest of which is 15 years of age, in very poor circumstances. They have made no definite plans for the future. Their father was killed by a Union Pacific train nearly eighteen months ago, and thus they are left to the world's mercy, orphans. The kind neighbors gave all the aid in their power."
