PROBABLE SUICIDE.

Death of Lady by Inhaliug Chloroform.
Early yesterday afternoon Coroner Flynn received
information from the Board OF Health that Mrs.
Sarah A. Kruger had died at the Washington Hotel
375 Fourth avenue, from the effects OF choroform
which she had inhaled. On repairing to the hotel
the Coroner found the report to be true and pro-
ceeded to hold an inquest on the body.
fortnight Kruger, husband OF deceased, testified
that ey had not lived together for year; deceased
had been In the habit Of taking chloroform for nery-
Gus headache with which she suffered, without con.
sutng doctor III regard to IT. the witness yester.
day morning bought deceased some chloroform at a
drug store in Twenty eighth street without hav ing
prescription for It, and had no trouble in procuring
the same on returning with the chorofor he left
Tor his wife, who was then IN bed; he then left her
alone and on subsequently returning 10 the room he
found her dead, with cloth lying over her mouth:
he had never heard her threaten 10 take her life with
chlorOform.
DR.. Comins deposed to having known deceased for
two years, during which time he has visited her fre-
quently; she told him that she was In the habit OF
taxing choroform; ne cautioned her against its USE
when she replied she knew 1t was dangerous but
meant 10 destroy her life by that means as IL was an
easy way to die: she said that she lived mserabv
and would do 1t on that account; the doctor was
called yesterday morning and found Mrs. Kruger
dead; in his opinion death was caused by the in.
proper use OF chloroform.
The Jury found THAT death was caused by inbaia-
t0n OF chlorof0rm, which deceased used without a
physicians direction, to relieve headache.u
Deceased was twenty eight years OF age and n
native Of New Orleans.

The investigation in regard to the alleged frauds
in the Fifth Assembly district, whereby Mr. William
G. Goodrich, the republican candidate, claims To

noon. Mr.. Goodrich proposes to bring 200 men who
will swear that they voted for him In the Third
Election district Of the Twentieth ward, Willie the
canvassers only counted $50 votes for him. His
opponent, VIM. c. Jones. was elected by only twelve
majority, and MI. Goodrich therefore contests his
election.
MIR. william c. De Witt, the Corporation Counsel,
appeared for Mr.. Jones, and District Attorney Nor
rs and his assistant, Thomas L. Pearsal appeared
for Mr.. Goodrich.
Mr.. De Witt asked for an adjournment, as he had
not had fair opportunity to look INTO the case.
The District Attorney opposed the adjournment.
The Mayor had summoned fifty Witnesses and ne
argued that they should proceed aJ once TO examine
them.
Mr. De Witt said this was contrary to the estab-
lished rules OF all courts OF jusrce.
District Attorney Morri 8 commended that this was
not court OF justice: that the duties OF his Honor
the Mayor were only ministerial.
The Mayor asked II he Was merely to Sit there
'like putty man."
The District Attorney held that 1t was not IN his
power TO decide on the evidence; that was for the
Legislature
After some further argument the wtnes ses were
called and after eleven had been examin cd all Of
whom sw0re to having voted for Mr.. Goodrich, the
examination was adjourned until Tuesday, at
twelve O'Clock noon,

no societies exist can participate by sending their

Inus endeth the circular relative to the objects OF
the WOmans Parliament
The aims OF the National W0man's Suffrage Asso
clation are TOO well known 10 need recapitulatl0n
here. In that they differ from the objects OF the
Womans Parliament Is simply IN the fact OF the sine
qua non OF their organization being the ballot
men and women. No feminine instltuti0ns-s0tus-
are desired by them.
The objects Of the Worklngwomen's Protective
Union have been lately ably and lengthly described
In the pages Of the HERALD. Its aims are told In
synopsis in Its name-viz., the social protection OF
their rights and redress OF the workngwomen's
wrongs.
And thus endeth the discussion of the great
woman question Of the day. Light being thus cur
sorly let In upon the aims Of It's many organlza-
lions, the curtain falls.
