A wOman,s Suicide.

miserable life was endod at Police Head
quarters last night, and one OF the Oldest OF
the vagrant women who have 80 often pleaded
for mercy at Judge SHELLS bar ended her
career. Mary Dillon applied for lodgings at
tho Police Headquarters saying she was sick
and had permit to the hospital, but could
not get there until morning. She was locked
In n cell, and when the keeper looked In, about
10 80 O'Clock, she seemed to be sound asleep
and he did not disturb her. At IL 80 he went
the rounds again and found her hanging to
the bars dead. She had tied her apron strings
TO tho bars OF the door and, making moose at
ono end, placed It about her neck and leaning
backward threw her whole weight upon the
cord Till she died from strangulation. Drs.
Markriter, Munson and Ball were called I'm,
but the woman was beyond all aid before they
arrived.
The body of the unfortunate woman was
viewed by the Coroner at Headquarters to-day,
and several of tho attaches OF the ofllce OK
amined. The Coroner decided that an inquest
was unnecessary, and gave certificate of
suicidal death from hanging. Tho certificate
was made out in the name of Julia Diggins,
which 10 believed to be the real name OF tho
woman. Tho body Will be buried In Potter's
Field, unless son OF the deceased, who is be.
lieved to be employed in this city as clerk In

was native OF Ireland, and was only SO years

theory that Monday Is tho agent of gang OF
horse thieves has been fully corroborated, and
OF places in New Jersey have telegraphed that
tho man can bo convicted In their courts II he
cannot bo here. Tho Baltimore authorities
and those OF several cities In Maryland and
Virginia telegraph that they can probably
make cases against the prisoner IN a short
time. Monday Is identified as not only the
salesman OF number of stolen teams, but as
the party who has hired horses repeatedly
from livery stables and failed TO return them.
