Her Head.
Mrs. Caroline Won Loewe, of Vienna, who
on Saturday last shot herself twice in the
head with small revolver, having the de-
liberate intention of taking her life, was a
woman of good family in Vienna, Austria,
and with her husband had been spending
some time at the st. Nicholas hotel. Her
husband, however, had gone back to Eu-
rope, and the wife not having heard from
him for a month began to fear that he was
either dead or had deserted her. and deter
mined to take her life. She was found on
her bed several hours after she had fired
the shots, and two letters which she had
written and left on the table explained the
whole matter and revealed her in tention
Physicians were called, and the wounds
dressed. Drs. Mussey and Judkins at first
thought she could not live.
A priest was summoned and the last rites
administered.
She had regular pulse all day yesterday,
and was entirely rational.
Strange to say, the woman did not die,
although the two bullets lodged in her
head, and the physicians have not yet been
able to remove them. She had lost so much
blood before she was discovered that she
was hardly able to stand, yet it was the
opinion of the physicians this morning that
her condition was improving.

Probably the Result of Accident.
LAWRENCE, Mass, May 20.-The opinion is
held by City Marshal Batchelder and others
that Jeremiah Rogers of Biddeford drowned
himself. Rogers came to this city, as stated,
on Saturday, the 10th inst, arriving in the
afternoon OF evening. He did not appear at
Franklin House till nearly midnight, when he
was very drunk, being hardly able to register
his name. He wanted food, and the clerk
refused to give it to him at that time of night
and in his condition He was very angry and
left the hotel in company with John Carr, a
job teamster, who has been here for many
years, and whom the police say wouldn't have
the courage or idea of committing a murder.
Carr left the drunken Biddeford man at the
corner of the Franklin House, and went to his
home on Common street, near by. That was
the last he saw of Rogers After that nothing
can be learned of Rogers, although he proba-
bly, went into some liquor shop and bought
half-pint bottle of whiskey, as such bottle,
with contents untouched, was found in his
pocket The theory is that he went up the
river bank some way and fell into the water.
The medical examiner statedthat there were no

and therefore he declined to hold any inquest.
The body was swollen, as it naturally would
be after remaining in the water nearly a week.
When the three men came from Biddeford
they joined in the theory that he was proba-
bly, drunk and had fallen into the river in that
condition. "Old John Carr is a man of some
property, against whose character there is
nothing known Objectionable, and he has long
lived here
