Found Dead by tina Roadside.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 31.-Near Niles, O.,
yesterday, the dead body of Mrs. r. A. William
son, who had gone driving in the country, was
found by the roadside. Her neck was broken,
and 1t was supposed at the time that the horse
had run away and thrown her from the carriage,
causing her death. To day it was learned that
there was no runaway, and the woman's hus-
band asked the coroner to make full investiga-
ton, he believing that his wife had been MUIR
dered. 1t is asserted that Mrs. Williamson had
considerable money in her possession. Two
tramps have been arrested at Miles, and there is
much excitement in the town.
