Six Days Without Food. Tf/IBXKCZ BRAKCIs’ ATTOJrT TO STARVZ HER SELF—THE LONG FAST OF A BXUQIOCS MO NO VAHLAC—SHE LOCKS HESS ELF IX HEB ROOM AND V OLCNTAIULT ABSTAINS FROM EATING UNTIL BEDUCET) TO A LINING SKELETON. From the New York Son. A foor-story brown-stone boose at 306 West Fonrteenth street, is occupied by Mrs. Key- barn, who keeps boarders sod lets famished rooms. About three months ago a woman called and asked to see the vacant rooms. She seemed to be sboat forty yeas old, end was neatly dressed. She gave her name fw Flor ence Francis, and said she was a dressmaker, and had no relatives or friends in this city. Where she lived prerkms U> this, or what bad^^-i tb, a mints of tilt life, is not known, ^fat she did not give her real name, however, is probable, bat the motive for concealing ner identity, if she had any object other than the gratification of a caprice, nobody has as yet foand oat. A famished back room oo the third floor was shown her, and she took it, paying $10 for the first month in a4vsnce. t he next day she had a trank and same cSfcer things brongbt to the hoaeo by a carman, and from that time was an inmate. She seemed to have enough work to keep her busy, sometimes taking it from the shops and doing it in her room, bat usually working at the residences of chance employers at her trade of dressmaking. Her meals were mostly obtained where she worked, bat she sometimes boiled tea in her room over a small gas stove that she had brought with her. She hod no visitors except those who called on errands connected with her work, and did not mingle mach with the other in mates of the house. A RELIGIOUS MONOMANIAC. The little intercourse that Hiss Francis cas ually had with the family created the impres sion that she woe morose and eccentric. Hiss Keybnra, the young daughter of the landlady, says thst the woman seemed to be “a little wild on religion.’’ She went to church three times every Sanday, often attending the Meth odist church in Jane street, bat changing about among all the others on the west side. She often met Miss Keyburn in the hall, and upon those occasions almost always broached religions topics, quoting odd texts of Scripture, and otherwise confirming the general opinion among the inmates of the house as to her remarkable eccentricity. Miss Keyborn is also inclined to set Mis3 Francis down as particularly obstinate, and inclined to intentionally annoy the lodgers. She paid her rent promptly, however, and did not make herself so objectionable as to furnish any just excuse for her ejection. She worked steadily, dressed respectably, and, as the months passed, her oddities gradually ceased to cause remark. She revealed no motive for self-destruction, but that she meditated such an act was evinced in remarks whieh attracted no attention at the time, but whose signifi cance is now apparent. “If you should find me dead someday,” she once said to Miss Keybnrn, “yon mustn't mind it” THE ATTEMPTED STARVATION. About a week ago, possibly a little more. Miss Francis shat herself in her room, only coming ont once or twice after that to get wa ter. Mrs. Keyburn is certain that she did not open the door after Saturday lost. Her fail ure to go out to church on Sunday excited comment, but her sealnaion was then forgot ten for a few daya When it was finally mentioned, her habitual strangeness seemed to sufficiently account for the new freak, and nobody thought of making aa investigation. It was known that she was in the habit of boiling tea over her gas stove, and it vras al so surmised that she was cooking for her self. “I guess she is fasting,” said one boarder, jokingly; “she said the other day she thought every Christian ought to fast" Finally, when the woman had beeu self- imprisoned six days, and, as it subsequently transpired, without eating a moathtul, the landlady’s husband became alarmed. He went several times to her door and rapped, as others had previously done, but could elicit no response. Growing more confirmed in his suspicion that something had happened to the queer lodger, be determined to force open the door. This was a little past midnight yesterday morning. Placing his knee against the locked door, he pressed against it with all his strength, and it flew open.

This he did by procuring a six-shooter, which he had with him when be rode to the Lake laat evening. He re lates having had a difficulty about fire years ago with McCormack one day at the Wash ington Street Cemetery, when the latter took the port of a man whom be (Jerrett) was chastising for insulting a lady whom he was driving out. On this occasion Jerrett was pretty badly choked by the deceased, but since that time no words have passed between them until yesterday, when they met, and when Jerrett was assaulted with the shovel. He alleges that when he saw the man ap proaching him with the shovel, he said to him, “Don’t do that Martin;” but tbo de ceased called him a coward and a a n of a b—h, and followed the abuse by the blow, whereupon he drew bis pistol and fired in self-defense, believing that his life was in im minent danger, and that it was the only means of saving himself. In relating the circum stance Jerrett was much affected, and shed tears freely, and lamenting tho fetal affair as only a man could who felt deeply the great misfortune that hod befallen him. Jerrett, who is also a hackman, is represented as a steady and good man, and well thought of by all who know him, a fact that was very gene- rlly spoken of a few days ago, when the man I Office in the Sooth, known m tbe Martin attempted to murder him on St. Charles street. The deceased, though a hack-driver, vasn man who had resided for about thirty years in our city, and is said to have been exceedingly well to do—in fact being worth over fifty thou sand dollars. It was at first the impression that the affair might have been caused by the parties being in liquor, but that, it is alleged, was not the case, as neither of the men was at the time in the least intoxicated.

The light revealed a sight that fixed him for a moment where he stood. In a cnair by the window sat Florence Francis, but so terribly changed that he could scarcely recognize her. 8he was but little more than a skin-covered skele ton. Her head lay beck listlessly, snd her eyes were hollow and staring. She did not stir at his approach, and at first he thought that she was dead. An examination, however, proved that she still lived, but that life would very soon have beeu extinct. She made no reply when he spoke to her, end ehe did not move a muscle at his tonch. She wore her night dress only, and her wssted arms and neck added to the ghastliness of her appear ance. Her hair was dishevelled, and her bony fingers clutched the chair upon which she sat. HEB LIFE POSSIBLY SAVED. Mr. Keyburn at one aroused the inmates of the house, and called the policeman who was patroliug Fonrteenth street. A doctor was sent for, and Miss Francis was lif:ed to the bed, where she lay, apparently nnconscions. Her lower jaw hung hopelessly down, and herl eyes were still staring vacantly. The police- man hurried to the Charles street police sta tion, where an ambulance bad lackily just ar rived, having been sent for to take a broken legged boy to the hospital. Dr. Campbell was i n charge ol it.and he hod it driven to the house in Fourteenth street The starved woman was at once taken to Bellevue, where she re mains in a critical condition. Dr. Campbell thinks that the chances of death or recovery are about equal. Stimulants have been care fully administered; and she seems to have gained strength to a slight extent, but not sufficient to raise her head from the pillow. Her thoughts wander constantly dnring her waking moments, and in the delirium caused by starvation she matters unintelligibly. Her old propensity for quoting Scripture shows itself. While the Ban reporter stood at her bedside she repeatedly said, in a voice just above a whisper, “They told Job to enrse God and die.” Onee. for a moment, the seemed sensible, and, in answer to an iequi- ry, said ber name was Stone. EVIDENCES or A DISEASED SUED. The police carefully examined the woman's! room and trunk, hoping to wet a clue to identity. The only scrap of fix a mouldy crust of be in money woe is s pocketbook, end s quantity of good clothing end jewelry ml her trank, so I hat poverty could not have been on incentive to suicide. Evidences of religions mania were present in sn assortment of Bibles and hymn nooks, and scraps of pa per with texts ot Heripturs written on them. The arrangement of the articles in the trank, too, was eccentric. All the efforts of the po lice to find her relatives, if ehe has auy, have been futile. ptember.
