Sad Relic of the Ring.

National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW York, Oct. 28.-Mary E. Hoag was
the beautiful daughter of sister of Thomas
G. Fields, who was socially the most brill
liant member of the Tweed Ring. One of
Fields generous acts, performed before the
money began to flow in to him from the
ring Golfers, was to educate his niece. After
her graduation she was wanted by her uncle
to go to New York and preside over his
household, Mrs. Fields having become es-
tranged from him. Here her ambition to
shine in social life was fully gratified. In
the course of time Mrs Fields obtained a
divorce from her husband, and one Of the
allegations in her complaint associated the
names of her husband and niece The di-
vorce was followed by the marriage of uncle
and niece. Several months later the wife
learned more or less of Fields association
with Mrs. Garrett, and was made very un-
happy.
At last came the breakup of the ring,
and Fields fled to Canada. Mrs. Garrett
went with him, and Mrs. Fields was left
behind without means of support. About
this time she became mother She re-
tired from her sumptuOus home to resi-
dence on modest place further up the
river. Her marital troubles led her to
contract the habit of taking opium, and she
became wreck. For some time she had
been receiving remittances supposed to
have come from Fields. She was constantly
afraid her child a bright little boy, would
be stolen, and gradually became raving
maniac. On Saturday last she was sent to
an asylum.
