SUDDEN DEATH FROM CANCER.

Mrs. Franciska Bingham, the aged mother of Mrs. J. J. Eiglesbach, died yesterday morning about 6 o’clock from a cancer under her right arm. She had made her home with Mrs. Eiglesbach for the past 22 years, and nothing was known about her having a cancer until Friday, she having successfully kept the fact concealed from the family. She went to bed, sfck, Thursday but got up again Friday, but was too weak to remain up. A physician was called and he discovered that she had a malignant cancer that had eaten her life almost away. He thinks she had been troubled for a year and a half at least from it. She was 74 years of age and was born in* Wuertenberg, Germany, and her husband died many years ago. At this writing *no arrangements have been made for the funeral.
