AfOtlfer Story of Love COnfid-
'.I.I tb ing. ~. ...l

In Chicago, May 3oth, alady's
cloak was found lying on the
wharf near Rush street bridge,
and soon after a lady's hat was
discoveredfoating in the river.
In the pocket of the cloak
were found several letters and
two photographs, and a hand
kerchief marked Nellie L. Dor
set. These letters explained
a story of love, ,'elotement, dc.
sertion, and death. The let.
ters were written by a young
man named George II. Burr, a
travelling agent for a New
York dry goods house, to Mel
lie, and are marked by the
usual characteristics of such
letters. There was but one
letter written by the girl, and
this shows her determination
to vcommit self-destructien. 1t
is as follows:
"DEAR GEoRGE--{t is not in
anger / write to you now. i

you; but only love and forgive
