She called there at ten O'Clock, but as DIR.

said she would not call again that day.
This was about 10 80 q. nj. Half an hour

that she was seen by anyone after leav-

so far received is letter addressed to
Colonel Mixer. It is written on Gin
cinnati Southern Railroad letter-head
from station in Kentucky. Il states
that the writer, while in Cincinnati Fri
day afternoon, saw q woman in the I'm
ion Depot who answered the description
given of Miss Hazard exactly. She
boarded an outgoing Southern Road train
with conductor. He was not certain
what this conductors name was, but
gave the name and address Of two who
reside in Newport. One of them was the
one whom she was with. Friends were
busy all day yesterday looking for the
conductors In question. They were
found, but neither of them remcm.

the description.
The efforts being made to gain some
knowledge of the missing lady's where
abouts are prodigious. Unstinted use OF
the telegraph is being made. The Post.
office authorities everywhere are notified
to be on the lookout for any mail that
may be addressed to her. All station
agents and passenger agents on roads
leading to Cincinnati, conductors, off,
Gals, and the passengers on the train In
which she was said to have left, have
been notified. At first it was thought
she might have left for the home of an
uncle In Virginia, but telegram from
MIN received yesterday stated that moth

that hour. By this time every steamboat
captain whose boat left the city since
Friday has . full description OF her.
Miss Hazard was q lady of beautiful
character. Pain and sickness may have
robbed her Of physical charms, but her
sweetness Of disposition and the nobility
OF her mind endeared her to all who /
knew her well. Because of her piety her
friends are inclined to scout the idea of
suicide, and have begun to think that she
wandered away in AT of mental de-
rangemest They had also noticed
that previous to her disappearance she
seemed to be melancholy and disheart- /
ened. The most puzzling part of the
whole affair is why che should draw from
the bank the $50. What would she want
