SUDDEN DEATH AT CHELSEA.
Mary Sims, wife of Thomas Sims, died suddenly yesterday morning at the Chelsea Sugar Works. It appears that Mrs Sims got up about 7 o'clock, but as she complained to her husband that she was uuwell, he advised her to return to bed. She did so, but was even then in a 'dying condition. Her hands were quitecold, and within a quarter of an hour she expired. * On the previous day Mrs Sims was in good health. She was in town ori Saturday morning, returning home about 1 o'clock. Duris^, ths afternoon, deceased and her husband drank some rum, but as the latter suffered no ill effects from the liquor, that could hardly have resulted in evil coosequences to his wife. Under the circumstances, the District Coroner, .Colonel Do Quincy, has decided that it will be necessary to hold an inquest. ■ ■ 'tji
