her room TO call her, and after calling her
two or three times and getting no re.
sponse she opened the door 10 find the
room unoCCupied. The bed bore traces OF
having been occupied but n short time, and
the young lady's clothes were lying on the
chair Just as she had lett them
when Disrobing 10 Retire.
Not an article Of apparel was missing, and
a thorough search ot the room and prem
ises revealed the fact that she had led,
leaving note behind her directed 70 Mrs:
King telling them not to cry for her and
not TO look for her, for she was going where
they would never see her again.
She had made the remark several times
OF late that she had rather be deed than
living, and it is generally thought she has
committed suicide by drowning. The
river was thoroughly dragged this afternoon
in the hopes OF finding her body, but no
evidence that she bad drowned herseH was
secured. No cause for her rash actions can
be given, as she was respected an treated as

THE FREEPoRT HORROR.
Clearing up the Mystery-The Deceased
Ella T., Clark. Of Bridgeport,

FREEroRr, L. l., May G.-Consderable ex-
Citemept prevails throughout Queens
county to-day over the revival of the Free
port horror. On the afternoon OF August
26, 1881, Joseph w. Ritchie, while cunning
in the swamp on the farm of Mrs. Raynor
Il. Smith, near Baldwins, found the mutt
lated remains OF woman, cut in pieces and
done up IN two bundles. The identity Of
the unfortunate woman and the manner in
which she met her death has since re-
msined a mystery.
Detective Payne, who has been working
on the case for nearly two years says he
has secured positive proof of the dead
woman's personsge, and also other facts
that will at last clear away the mystery
establish the unfortunate womans iden-
tity and bring
Her Slsyers 10 Justice.
Detective Payne has evidence to show
that the deceased was Ella +. Clark, of
Bridgeport, Copn., who was missing from
her home BesFiy four months before her
mutilated body was found in Long Island
Swamp; that she was brought 10 the house
of Mrs. Margaret Carmen, OF Millbourne,
oy a certain man from Philadelphia, where
size subseq Iently died from the effects Of
criminal medical practice, her body being
afterwsrd concealed in the swamp.
Mrs Curren is now confined in the
Queens County Jail. where she is awaiting
the action OF the Grand Jury, charged By
the Coronsr's Jury with having caused the
Death by Malpractice
Of Mrs. Sidney s Smith, of Oceanville, L.
l., who was found dead in her house, on
Tuesday of last week
At the inquest held over the woman in
the swamp, Miss Fannie B. Powell, a niece
Of Mrs. Smith on whose premises the body
was fonnd, testified that she was awakened
one night by hearing a one horee
wsgon pass down the lane that
leads to the swamps. The next morning
the wagon tracks we're visible and the bars
at the end of the lane were found down.
William Carman, the husband of Mrs Car
man, is fish peddlar and owns a wagon
similar TO the one which Miss Powell testi-
fed passed through the lane to the swamp.
Mrs. Carman is known TO have had young
wonan al her house at about the time the
death Of Miss Clark would have occurred.

LOVE LIES BLEEDING.
ABrOkcn.HeartedT Tailor Tired OF Life
when Love Grows Cold,

st. LOUIS, May 6.-Aloys Frey, we'll
known merchant tailor, shot and killed
himself shortly after o'clock this morn
ing, at his boarding house, No, 1929 South
Thirteenth street. Frey was partner OF
Henry A. Schmidt, and the firm did bust.
ness at 4O4 Walnut street, under the South
ern Hotel. He had been boarding with
Mr.. Schmidt at the place mentioned. THIS
morning Mr.. Schmidt's little son, who al
ways slept with Frey,
Came 10 His Fathers Room
shortly after o'clock The boy was
favorite pet Of the deceased, and called him
Uncle"
WHY are you up so early said the
father.
Because Uncle Frey sent me out o; the
room, said the boy,
While this vas going on a report was
heard, and when Mr.. Schmidt rushed to
Frey's room he found him lying on his
back IN the carpet with the blood gushing
from hcrrid wound on each side OF his
head. In his right hand the man still
held
A Revolver Of ~ Caliber.
Frey was a member of the EIks, the
Knights of Pythias, the Legion of Honor,
the Mercantile Club, and several German
organizations. From Mr.. Schmidt, bu.i.
ness partner OF the deceased, il was learned
that Mr.. Frey on last New Years engaged
himself 10 marry Miss Bessie bowling, a
young lady of Chicago, and whose brother
is clergyman. The wedding was to take
place either before or after Lent, Mr..
Schmidt does not rememqer which time.
Lately the letters from Miss Bowling have
grown much colder, and it was believed b.
Frey that his betrothed had forgotten him
and become
Smitten with Somebody Else.
This caused him much anxiety, aud he
frequently referred to the fact. and always
in melancholy manner. Last Monday
evening Frey received a letter from his be.
trothed. since when he has been unusually
depressed in spirits. 1t has been supposed
that the letter he received contained an an
nouncemenl that Miss Bowling had recon.
sidered her intention Of marrying him. and
had asked that her promise be given back.
