Coroner VIM. II. Libby was called by the

body Of patient who died very suddenly
that morning about 9 o'clock. The patient
was an unmarried woman, 43 years old, COM
mittsd to the Hospital the I'd inst, from
Alma. She was a suicidal patient. and to ac-
complish her determination to die she re-
fused all food offered her. Various methods
were tried to induce her to take food,
before and after her commitment,
with but slight success, so that when she
came to the Hospital she was very much ex-
hausted and in a very nervous condition
She was also subject to heart disease which
was aggravated by insufficient nourishment
and her resistance to all attempts to admins
ter necessary food, resulting in her death at
the hour above named. Coroner Libby,
after viewing the body and examing several
witnesses, concluded an inquest unnecessary.

How Fred Brown Found His Daughter.
A telegram to the Associated Press from
Augusta last week said that Martha Brown, a
colored girl Of that city, was missing, and
was last seen on freight train bound for
Portland. Her father arrived in Portland
Tuesday. He inquired of the hackmen at
the railway station if they had seen girl an
swering the description of his daughter One
Of the men said that he carried the girl to a
certain part of the city, and offered to reveal
her whereabouts for the sum Of five dollars.
Brown, not knowing his rights, paid him the
money. The hackman then took him to an
intelligence office, where the girl had been
to obtain a situation. Brown there ascertain
cd that his daughter was engaged to do house
work in family near Pride's Bridge. He
got the hackman to take him to the place in
dicated, paying him the further sum of three
dollars. The gentleman who had hired the
girl refused to give her up to her father.
Brown, during the war was Major Shorey's
servant, and that gentleman brought him to
Maine when he was mustered out of the SER
vice. For the past five years he has had
charge of the stable and grounds of Hon.
James G. Blaine at Augusta. His antece-
dents and present character were made known
by the Major to Marshal Bridges, who at once
interested himself in the case. The hack
man will have to refund the money extorted
from Brown, and the daughter will be restor-
ell to her father, if it appears that she is not
capable of taking care of herself.-Porfiand
