From Philadelphia.

FROM
Especial Dispatch TO the New York Times.l
NEW York, March 31.-Miss S. G.
Styles, twenty four years of age, was
employed by music firm in Phila-
delphia to canvass New Jersey. She
was very successful, earning, it is
alleged, frequently as much as seven
dollars day. While in Englishtown
she met Miss Jewell, sister of one
of the influential business men of
Railway. The young ladies became
much attached to each other and Miss
Jewell proposed asking her brother
and his wife to receive Miss Styles as
a boardcr during her stay in Railway.
1t was understood from the time of
her arrival that she was engaged to
bo married TO DIR. II. d. DeBusen-
bury, of Messrs. Gray s. Busenbury,
Princeton, n. J. 1t was about the
middle of the fall when she first went
to Railway and it took her some time
to canvass it. She attended the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church and was
great favorite At length she went
to Englishtown and afterwards it was
understood that she had returned to
New Brunswick and resumed her oc-
cupation in that town. On March IL
Miss Styles returned to Mr.. JEWELS
house and asked to be again taken as
boarder. On the following Monday
she was very sick; she said she was
married to DR.. Busenbury last Decem-
ber. She added that she was pregnant,
and when Mrs. Jewell charged her
with having made an attempt to pro-
cure an abortion, she said she had
been injured by fall in Princeton,
on Sunday, as she was returning from
church. A miscarriage followed soon
after the arrival of a physician. She
suffered greatly, and told clergyman
that she was married in Trenton by a
Justice of the Peace, and she related
substantially the same story as she
had told to Mrs. Jewell. She said her
marriage certificate was in her hus-
bands possession. Mr.. Jewell tele-
graphed to Princeton, telling DR.. Bu-
senbury of his wife's condition and
urging him to start for Railway. He
soon received reply that the young
| Doctor was too busy to come, but he
would start next day. On Wednesday
the coroner of Railway was called in
| d
He says he did not make any very
careful examination as he was not the
attending physician, and he had i'm
plicit confidence in DIR. brakes treat
ment. On the same day Mr.. Jewell
again telegraphed TO Busenbury, tell
ing him his wife was dying and beg
ging him to come to Railway at once
if he wished to see her alive. Busen
bury arrived that afternoon. On til,
next day Busenbury went back t.
Princeton. The young lady's mothc
arrived from Philadelphia about q
minutes before her daughter died
She said she had heard nothing of he
daughters marriage to Busen5ury
The same evening Busenbury return
ed, and having secured q certificate
that the death was not caused by any
contagious disease the remains wer,
taken away, and, it is supposed, bur
led at Princeton. The coroner say
that if he had known then what II,
knows now he should have ordered al
investigation. He says he consider
the case very suspicious one ant
calling for II searching inquiry, bu
he does not propose to take any step
unless the county physician order
him. One of the physicians is still
disposed to think the miscarriage tn
result of fall, and says no instru
ments were used. 1t is understoo,
that the young lady continued to can
vass for the Philadelphia music stor
, after her marriage, and it is hinte,
that steps may have been taken t.
Droyide against discOntinuance of s.
/ lucrative an employment, such a
would, of course, have been cause'
! by tho birth of child. There is n
doubt the young lady supposed hel
self to be legally married, and it
. not known that she was not legal
;; married.
