yesterday, by which a lady named Wakefield,
who is employed in the Pension Office, was made

agreement. Mrs. Hutchinson went swsy from
the house yesterday morning, leaving instruc.
tioIs with her coored man servant not to let
Miss Wakefield or her baggage 90 out of the
house: The faithful servant determined that he
would obey instructions st all hazards, and at
9 on barred and nailed up all the doors. Miss
Wakefield was thus made prisoner. In the
afternoon she managed to make known her pre-.
dicsment by communicating with neigh oors
from window. aud message was carried for
her 10 some friends who reported the matter to
police headquarters. Detective McElfresh went
to the house, soon gained sdmittsnce, and res-
cued the fair prisoner. She took steps to obtain
her furniture and trunks by legal process, but
subsequently an amicable arrangement was
made with Mrs. Hutchinson. and She was al.
