 Living i'm Poverty in New York Jumps to Horrible Death.-Eorn in Virginia of Rich Parents. She Could
 not Stand Destitution and Died.
 NEW YORK, June 18.-Lying in a heap upon the stone Tagging at the foot of the steps at No. 29 Washington place, pretty Julia Gargile was found in pool of blood at 4.3O o'clock yesterday morning. Half an hour previous to the discovery of her inanimate body the girl, who was but nineteen years of age, had left her mothers side in bed, saying that she was thirsty and wanted to get glass of water. No. g Washington place is kept as a furnished apartment house by Mrs. Caroline Jordan.
 ] Less than four months ago Julia Cargle and her mother, Mrs. Agnes Cargile, widow of some sixty years, came to this city from Richmond Va, and took an apartment with Mrs. Jordan. The servants at Mrs. JordanS said that it had been known during the past few weeks that the CarGiles had reached that extreme crisis when their poverty made them desperate. They had gradually sold or pawned most of their wardrobe, 1t is said, and even their underSarments were disap- bearing in the same way. Both mother and daughter were possessed of some accom- plish- nSnts, the former being pianiste and excel- lentNocalist, while her daughter had devoted considerable time to tie study of art.
 Mother and daughter slept together. AS before stated, Julia arose ostensibly to get glass of water, but when half an hour later her mother awoke from a doze she went in search of the girl. Not finding her fn the bathroom she looked out of tho window, thinking that perhaps Julia might have gone out to get the air. ..-.
 Her eyes encountered the prostrate form of her daughter lying at the foot of the stoop steps, with her head and the upper portion of her night dress bathed in blood. With shriek that could be heard block away, the mother hastily withdrew from the window and started to go downstairs, but other occu- pants of the house had heard the scream and among them Dr. J. M. Ransom. He was the first to reach the girls side. She was quite dead but still warm, and q nasty examination showed tlflt her skull was fractured and her jaw broken.
 Why the girl should have committed suicide no one knew, unless it might be because of their poverty, It was thought that she han jumped out of the hall bedroom window on the third floor, which was open but further investigation led to the belief that she had as- cended to the roof and had then deliberately thrown herself off. The scuttle leading to the roof had been unfas tened and was wide open, contrary to custom. In falling the girl struck upon her head on the steps and then rollod off to the sidewalk.
 It was learned that Mrs. Cargile has a bro- ther, named Lawton in Nashville, Tenn., who is a banker and quite wealthy, and another brother in Macon, Ga. who was general in 'h" Confederate Army. It is said that family differences have thus far restrained Mrs. Cargile from seeking assistance from her rich relatives, but the chances are that they will now come to her relief.
