SHOCKING SUICIDE OF A WOMAN About )
a. m, yesterday, the engineer of an express
train on the Harlem Railroad, when near
Seventeenth street, saw a woman lying on the
track short distance ahead. He attempted to
stop his train, but too late to prevent its passing
over h'r- The woman, who was apparently
about IS years Of age, was found to be shocking
ly mangled- Her head, served from the body,
lay outside OF one rail, and her legs, also served
from the trunk, near the other rail. Portions
of the body were scattered along the road bed
and track for a considerable distance. The
clothing Of the woman was so torn and satur ated
with blood, that the only article recognizable
was a black and white plaid shawl. IL is the
belief of the engineer and Others that the
woman. seeing the train approaching, lay down
on the track TO be killed. The remains were
gathered up and conveyed to the Morgue TO
await identincation--S. Y. Tribune, 9M inst.
