Mans 1nhuman1ty to Woman.

B1NeHAMToN, Jan. 9.-Much excitement prevails over the mysterious death in this city of fair young lady named Clara Twin ing, aged twenty-four years, who came here from Friendsville, Pa, three weeks ago, and stopped with Mrs. Hill, widow, who left her Friday for few moments, but upon re- turning found her on the floor in convulsions from which she died in a-few minutes. Cor oner Comstock began an inquest yesterday. The autopsy revealed the fact that she was en- eeinte and presented indications of criminal surgical malpractice. There were no eVi- dences of inflammation or disease, but it is believed that the young woman, becoming reckless, took poison, which caused her death. The inquest is not completed and no arrests have as yet been made, although suspicion rests upon a woman of this city.

Among the members of the new syndicate are said to be Sir Will liam Rowland, Herman Cook, of Toronto Colonel Allan Gilmour, of Ottawa; Colonel Walker, of London, and Caruthers, of Kings ton, Ont.
