INTENT ON SUICfDE.-Yesterday morning as
the Grand Trunk train, due in this city at SIS,
was crossing the bridge at Fish Point, one OF
the train hands saw woman cast herself into
the water. He plunged in after her and
brought her out, and then handed her over to
Officer Berry, who took her to the police station.
She refused to give her name, but handker-
chief in her pocket was marked N. l.. S.
Tucker She was sent to the Aims House by
Deputy Williams. Officer Place gives us the
following particulars respecting the woman:
A week ago last Sunday morning as Mr.. Place
was on his way home, after being on duty
during the night, he discovered woman lying
under some steps Ton Bracket street. He
aroused her, and, as has been his custom in
similar cases, asked the woman to go to his
house until he could investigate her case. She
did SO, and remained there asking permission
to assist in the Homework until she had time to
write to her friends for money She remained at
Mr.. Places until last Monday evening, efficiently
assisting in the housework and frequently sew
ing, and generally showing herself to be an
intelligent woman. During her stay she wrote
two letters, one to brother in Boston and one
to another relative. She went to the post
Office, but received no reply. During the week
Mrs. Place ascertained that the name of the
woman is Turner; that she lost her husband
ten years since, and has seen more trouble than
any living woman. She came from Boston on
the steamer week before Mr. Place found
her, for the purpose of committing suicide, and
was making preparation to jump overheard,
when she thought she was watched. During
that week she further stated that she bought
laudanum went to piece of woods somewhere in
the vicinity, where she swallowed the same, and
thinks that she lay insensible two days
Monday she helped do the washing, and after
told Mrs. P. that she was going to
the post-office. This was the last heard of her
by Mr.. Places family until she was brought to
the station. She is about IS years of age, of
appearance, and appears to be
