A Sudden Death.

  The woman who was mentioned in Saturday's TRIBUNE as having died so 
suddenly the night before was Mrs. Elizabeth Bouser, a colored woman 
who lived with her sister, Mrs. Lynch, on Ninth avenue near Ninth 
street.  She was a native of Baltimore and had been in delicate health 
for some time past.  On her way home from the Central Hotel, where she 
worked, she was taken sick.  She stopped in at Mrs. Burley's and 
everything was done for her that was possible.  She started home after 
a little but fell in the street before [she] arrived there, and died 
about an hour afterward of congestion of the lungs.
