\ LADY'S ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY DR. OWN
ING.-YeSterday about noon quite we'll
dressed middle aged woman walked into the
Arsenal grounds and towards the river bank,
when, dropping her paraSOl and hat, she
leaped over the stone wall. The water being
very shallow. she deliberately walked out until
the water reached her waist, and ducked her
head under. Some of the abOrerS in the
grounds noticed this act from a distance, and
going to the spot, with some difficulty got her
out and brought her TO the shore. She was
found inSenSible, and being taken to the hos
pital of the post, DR.. H. B. Wagner attempted
20 revive her, but it was nearly twelve hours
before she regained consciousness. When she
did she asked for her father and mother, and
gave the name of Lizzie Stanton. residing at
SUI New York avenue.
The correct name of the lady IS Eliza Stan
ton, and she is a native of StauntOn. Virgin

she had exhausted what little means she had
left, the association collapsed. Recently she
has been attempting TO get up something of a
similar character, and claimed to represent it
in the WOrkingmen's Assembly. During her
residence in this city her home has been in the
northern part OF the city in rented rooms eX-
cept for few months directly after her mar
rage a few years ago with a we'll known citi-
zen of that section from whom she parted For
very poor circumstances and it is supposed
that having failed TO obtain employment, and

this afternoon is somewhat better, she is yet
