A Lady's Mysterious Death.

ACCUSATIONS OF FOUL PLAY MADE AGAINST A
DOCTOR.
A telegram from Montreal, October 27, says:
The city was startled to-day by the death of
Mrs. Fannie Ward, a wealthy widow under
very mysterious circumstances. 1t appears
that Mrs. Ward had disposed OF her property on
the death of her husband, and gone with
her daughter TO live at the Turkish Bath
Institute; On the 18th instant she went
TO consult DR.. Crevier, and did not return
but her daughter received a letter from her say
ing that she was staying with Ii friend. On FRI
day night. about II O'Clock, DIR. Crevier called
at his place very ill and wanting TO see the
manager. The latter replied that he would see
her In the morning. Two hours afterward
cab drove TO the door, and Mrs. Ward was
found therein in a condition OF great disorder,
distress and excitement She exclaimed: "Oh
mapped" The driver. being questioned,
said he was driving along Beaver Hall
when he heard woman in carriage
stopped the carriage, and found a man and a
woman holding Mrs. Ward back in the seat
He accused them OF having drugged and i'll
treated ner, and said they were taking her
an improper house. The driver then lifted her
out and drove her home in his hack. Every
care was bestowed on her, but she died an
early hOur this morning. She retained con-
seriousness to the last, but was not able TO give
clear narrative OF the events which occurred
from the time she left the institute until her
return.
DIR. Crevier denies that he drugged or ill
treated the woman alleged. lie says she
came to his house and askeu to be allowed TO
stay there, as she was sick. He gave her NOR
phihe as sedative, but Nine. Crevier was
always with her. On Friday night Mrs. Ward
became worse, and she expressed a desire to be
conveyed to DR.. Mclean, at the turkish Bath
institute. Dr. Crevier endeavored to persuade
her not TO go, telling her that in her condition
the removal might lead to her death. The lady
replied that she would go on foot If he would
not get her d carriage. About O'CLOCK ON Satur-
day morning, Or. Crevier, Nine. Crevier and
Mrs. Ward got into u carriage and were driven
toward the institute. Al the top OF Beaver
Hall hill the lady leaped up, and screamed, and
insisted that she Was betrayed.
Dr. Mclean reported the facts to the author

Dudish Police Regulations.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
Ihe most powerful suasion that can be ex-
ercised by an officer of the law in quelling dis
turbance, making an arrest, or in enforcing
municipal rules and regulations, is the moral
force and effect which mis- Office commands and
anything which tends to make him appear
ridiculous in the eyes of the public detracts
rom his usefulness ard rObS him of the most
potent element of strength.
Inc metropolitan police of the District have
recently been shorn of much OF their influence
Dy the very absurd regulation requiring them to
wear white gloves and carry dude canes; thus
making them appear as objects OF ridicule TO
every man, woman and child they meet. The
helmets are very sensible and proper, Tor when
Wen constructed they serve protection to
the head from blows and falling objects, and
present soldleriy appearance. But could any,
tnlnS De more silly than to take from the
of1cer The baton, which is at once EN- blem
OF authority and a weapon easily and quickly
handled and put in his hands IA slender cane?
The TACT that the canes are loaded does not
make them desirable, for in melee (and our
good officers get there sometimes,) it would be
impossible TO WELD the canes to advantage.
1t Is an indgnity TO place the officer before the
pubHc as universal butt, and let us hope that
The proper authorities will restore the batons,
and lay away the white gloves for the next
street parade or public reception.

A Minister'S Wedding.

THE REV. MR.. MosELY AsTONIsHEs HIS
FLOCK.
telegram from Seguin, Texas, Oct 26
says: Something of sensation was caused
here to-day Immediately after the de-
parture of the east-bound Southern Pa
cific train, when it became known that
the Rev. H. Z. Mosely, pastor OF the Pres
byterian church of this place, had quietly
boarded the train, accompanied by one
OF the bellies of Guadalupe county. 1t trans
pired in less than an hour that the rev.
erend gentleman had perpetrated a regu-
lar coup d'etat upon the community
and especially against Judge w. E.
Goodrich, who was greatly surprised when he
heard that his iavOrite daughter, Miss Lola, had
been clandestinely married to the Rev. Mr..
Mosely at an early hour this morning at the
Presbyterian church by the Rev. DIR. Neil, of
San Antonio, assisted by the Rev. DIR. Laird,
OF Gonzales. Ir seems that these reverend gem
tlemen were sent for by the Rev. Mosely To per-
form the ceremony, but just why the most popu-
lar minister in town should get married
under such mysterious circumstances is what
puzzles the gossips. The newly welded people
have gone to Virginia to visit the grooin's pa
rents. Judge Goodrich is leading citizen OF
this county and man of large means. While
cOnfessing great astOnishment, the judge has
given vent to no public expressions OF dissatis-
faction as to the sudden departure of his hand
some daughter.

ONE OF THE CCRlosfTIEs OF THE CAMPAIGN IN

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-one OF the curious features
OF the campaign i'm this section is the candidacy
of James O'Connor, blind man. for senator in

OF the state, who are endeaNoring 10 secure leg-

porting. The committee per:inently saws. .Re.
ing blind ourselves we have gwen the subject
considerable thought. and are OF the opinion
that one of the most effective means of sccom-
plishing this end Is 10 elect blind gentleman

OF such an institution, would give the matter
10 be "A gentleman of Integrity and ability and
thoroughly qualified To nl the position 10

Description Of the Statue.
Bartholdi's mother was the model for the
statue. Ii is her face that looks out toward the
wave-washed horizon from the shores OF the
new TO the skies of the old world. Liberty is
represented in the work as woman clad in a
pepium and tunic, which fall i'm ample folds
from waist and shoulderto her feet. The LEFT
foot, trifie advanced, supports the main
weight OF the body. The right arm is uplifted
IN a vigorous movement and holds aloit blaZ-
Ing torch. Tie left hand grasps a tablet, on
which is inscribed the date OF the declaration OF
american Independence, 18th july, 1716."
The tablet Is held rather close to the body aud
at "A slight angle from il. The head is that of a
handsome, proud and brave woman. IL is
crowned by diadem. The arrangement OF the
draperieS is a feature OF especial excellence.
Ihere is great merit in the disposition OF the
peplum or that portion OF the draperies flung
back over the left shoulder, the folds OF which
hang obliquely 10 the right side oi the waist and
thence downward almost to the right knee,
thus breaking the monotony OF the perpend leu
lar line formed by the fods oi the tunic beneath.
The movement oil the uplfted right arm is char
acteriZed by certain elan, which, however,
does not suggest violence; the carriage OF the
head is dgniiied, and the lace is fine in its pro-
portions and expression.
In this connection il may be stated that there
is a popular misapprehension concerning the
Liberty statue. People think they will be able
to ride in elevators or TO climb spiral stairways
TO the gallery around the torch or the crown
upon the goddess head. 1t is not intended,
though, that any visitor shall at any time ascend
higher than the pedestal, but in order that
every part ot the statue may be reached Tor re-
pairs narrow iron ladders, smaller than those
used in nre-escapes have been placed within
the framework and make the highest points of
the work accessible.
DIMENSIONS OF THE STATUE.
Some idea OF the immensily of the statue is
