80 shocked as were they on "Wednesday

in he r room. The particulars OF the affair
as we gathered them, are as follows: On
Tuesday night she retired to her room as
usual, and about 10 o'clock her sister and
a young lady friend who is visiting the
family went to her room and found her
fitting in chair reading. After friend |
ly conversation, her sister and visitor re-
tired to another apartment This was the
asst seen Of her alive. On the following I
m orning some one entered her room, and /
10 her great surprise, found her lying
IN her bed with clothes on and face down
ward. Upon examination Of her person il
was discovered that her throat was cut
almost from ear to ear, which had been
lone with small penknife and by her
,wn hands. What caused her to commit
iuch an act, remains a mystery, as no note
vas found giving reason for the deed.
She was about twenty-five years old, and
