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.

Were the Feelings of this Wealthy Grand-mother WOULD SHIELD TH BRUIT Who had Assaulted a Little Three Year old Child. An other OhiomobAttempts but Failes to Show Manhod. 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.
