SUICIDED WITH OPIUM
In Chattanooga Yesterday. A
Divorce PapertheOnly clue
to her Identity. Two
Tru n ks of Costly Ga r
ments. No Money.
Chattanoog, Tenn., Oct., 22
About three weeks ago a lady giv
ing her nume as Mrs. Hulda M ri
no, richly attired, but in penniless
circumstances, came to Chattanoo
ga from no one knows where and
took apartments at 413 Lindsay
street.
She was evidently in great trou
ble of some kind, but when ap
proached by the sympathising
ladies of the house would say noth
ing of her woes, nor divulge her
home or identity. Although she
had no money, she carried two
trunks, which were filled with
gowns of the richest description,
costly laces and expensive orn -
ments, seen at one to be the owner’s
and not stolen property.
She was a woman of about thirty
five years of age and beautiful, to
an unusual degree, though pictures
of herself hung up m her room re
vealed the fact that time had
w rought chaug-s in her beauty.
The trunks in question were label
ed with hotel tags from many for
eign as well as American cities.
Two weeks after her arrival she was
taken sick. Having no money or
friends it became necessary to send
her to the nospital, where she died
Friday night.
An examination yesterday led
four doctors to concur in the belief
that she had suicided with opium.
Saturday afternoon she was buried
in the potter's field.
County officers took charge oj
her trunks and a search was made
of their contents, but nothing was
found to establish her identity ex
cept divorce papers granted her by
Henry Sheppard, of Cook county
Chicago, March 3 1887, from her
husband, who was named in the
l»ill as Joseph H, Marino.
INCEST ANO PERJURY.
Mr. Short and Miss Chisum Ar
rested on These Charges.
Greenville, Tex., 0ct.21. —C. J.
Short and Miss Lucy Chisum were
married in this city Monday morn
ing. They immediately left * t for
Kaufman and were spending their
honeymoon, when theyoung'lady s
uncle found out what had .been
done and had the couple placed in
jarl.
At an examination trial todfcy it
developed that JShort is a half
brother-of the young lady’s mother
and the couple are now charged
with incest and perjury. Upon
procuring the marriage license
Short swore that there were no le
gal objections to their union, which
makes the case ot perjury.
Railing to give a $2,500 bond,
Short was remanded to jail. J'i s
Chisum’s bond was placed at SSOO,
which was signed by numbers oi
influential citizens.

Hicksville, 0., Oct. 22 —Charles
O’Neil, a negro, assaulted a three
year old daughter of Mrs Daniel
Heckerman late yesterday after
u »og. The child will recover.
About midnight the negro was
arrested and after a e
fight with a mob the officers su »
ceeded in lodging him in jaii.
There is much excitement her*,
but the Washington courthouse
affair of a few days since has a
discouraging effect and it is prob
ab]p the officers will be able to
protect the man.
His crime is a most heinous one
and yet the grandmother of the
child is said to he shielding the
negro in every way possible. This
1 feature of the affair has served to
nci-te the indignation of the peo
ple to a great extent. The negro
came to this city about a month
ago, in company with a gang of
fakirs, that worked the Hicksville
fair.
The gang did not do well and
O'Neil became stranded. He was
taken in by Mrs. Harriet Crowl, a
wealthy widow, and given a job
doing farm work. The negro was
the only mau abjut the house.
The child told the story in her
childish language. The child’
grandmother, Mrs. Crowl, took it
very cooly. She did not wish to
have anything said about it, as
she wanted to keep tiie negro on
the place until after corn was
husked.
The two women disputed about
the matter for some time and were
still having words about it, when
one of the neighbors c*.mein. This
person went down into town and
told the story.
A warrant was at once sworn out.
The marshal city police went
to the Crowl residence and placed
the negro under arrest.
This was about midnight, but
the news of the outrage spread
quickly and before the officershad
started back with their prisoner a
mob was running in the direction
of the Crowl estate, with the inten
tion. of lynching him.
The officers anticipated such a
wove an i took their prisoner back
by a circuitous route, thus escap
ing the mob until within a half
block of the city prison. An at
tempt was then made to get pos
session jof the negro and a desper
ate fight ensued. The struggle was
fierce and protracted lasting until
the contestants were un to the jail
door. ,
The mob lingered for some time
but lost courage, and made no at
tempt to break down the door of
the jail. O’Neil was seen by a re
porter. He refused to say anything
about the case. He claims to be
from Pittsburg, and is twenty-five
years of age.

A Report Started which Says the'
Czar is dead
THE THEATERS ARE OPEN
However and Between the acts

dience stands.
St. Petersburg, October 21.
Dispatches made public here at 7
o’clock this evening say the
czar has rallied slightly. No con
fidence is felt by the people in the
official announcements. The mea
gerness of the news has left room
for the craziest rumors, which
multiply on every street corner
and in every case.
It is said that the czarowitz has
renounced the succession, that the
czar is dead and the fact is sup
pressed, and that the Grand Duke
George died two days ago, Official
bulletins do not dispel these ru
mors. The last story is that the
czarina’s mind has broken down
under her many afflictions.
Despite the intensity of the in
terest in the czar’s condition, the
theaters and restaurants are
crowded as usual. In the churches
throughout Russia prayers have
been said for theczar.
A dispatch from Moscow says
th- t tae city is griefstricken nev
ertheless, the theaters are open
Between the acts this evening the
orchestra in every theater played
“God Protect the Czar.” The an
dience stood during the hymn and
insisted upon several repetitions
of it.

London, (jctober.2l. —The Dai
ly News has this from its Vienna
correspondent:
“A cipher telegram received
here from Russia yesterday, de
clared that it was impossible to
send news except by let'er across
the frontier. A Vienna daily as
serts that the czars’ illness is the
consequence of arsenical poisou
i"g-”
The Paris correspondent of the
Daily News discredits the report
that the czarwitz has renounced
the succession.
HIGH MASS SAID FOR THE CZAR.
High mass was said in the Greek
church here today and special
prayers were said for the czar.
A dispatch received from St. Pe
tersburg by the Central News this
morning, says: “Much excitement
was caused today by widespread
reports that the czar was dead and
that the news would be suppressed
officially until next wees to enable
the Princess Alix to declare he r
adherence to the Greek church and
be married to the czarowitz before
the announcement.
No conformation of these re
ports can be obtained. The St.
Petersburg journals have been or
dered to expunge all bulletins as
to the czar’s illness from the cop
ies going to Livadia. ’’
Pobeadonoszeff, attorney gener
al of the holy synod and one of the
czar’s boyhood tutors, started for
Livadia yesterday.
