Yesterday morning one of the HERALr
carriers lost his horse and cart. The
animal wandered away from in front o1
the HERALD office, and about 8 O'Clock
was found up in Olive street, between
Temple and Court streets. A bright little

found him walking along leisurely and
hitched him to a post. He then reported
the matter to this Office; but the fate Of
the horse was overlooked nearly all day.
When the boy returned home from

if YOU can, won't you?" Mrs. Root
asked her what the matter was, and she
said she supposed she would tell all, so
that Mrs. Root would know how to treat
her. She said that on Friday last she
sat down to the table to get communica-
tions from Joseph. She said to his de-
parted spirit: "Joseph, l am going to
Colvill's lecture. Is it best for me to
go9" Joseph's spirit seized her hand
and wrote the answer: "Yes, and I'll
90 with YOU" She said that was the
fatal step. She lost control of herself,
and at times she became controlled by
spirits. and during these spells she acted
as if she had delirium tremens. After
she returned from the lecture on Friday
night she sat down to her table
and asked Joseph what he thought
of tie lecture. Joseph said, through
her hand, that he was disappointed
and that the lecture was not very good.
She then went to bed and her feet being
cold, she said: "Joseph, if you are with
me and love me, warm my feet" I'm
mediately her feet became warm and
Joseph took possession of her. From
that time until she visited Mrs. Root she

couldn't get away from them. She rose
early in the morning and went home
asking Mrs. Root to come soor
after her. Mrs. Root went te

Miss McCathrOn Joins Her Lover
I'm Death.
Quite sensational suicide took place
yesterday morning on Olive street. Miss
Martha McCathron, who for some time
past has been acting queerly, was found
dead on the floor of room in her house
on Olive street, by Mrs. Julia A. Root, a
Christian scientist. A tumbler contain
ing small quantity of water bitter to
the taste and paper labeled strychnine
we're found on the floor near by, indicat-
ing that she had poisoned herself. The
Coroner was notified and an inquest was
held yesterday afternoon, at O'Clock.
The testimony taken indicated q very
Miss McCathron has lived in the city five
time has gathered together a con-
siderable amount of property. About
two months ago couple of
young men, one OF whom was Joseph
Rosenbaum, were occupying barn ad-
joining her place. One of them was
quite sick and Joseph stayed at home to
cook for the other. Miss McCathron be-
came quite interested in the young men,
especially in Joseph, and when he was
taken sick through cold had him to go
to her house where she nursed him, spend
ing her money and time on him until he
died some three or four weeks after. She
fell in love with him and he returned the
sentiment, and his death was severe
blow to her, and after his burial prayed
on her mind so much that her friends
thought that she was insane at times.
She attended spiritualistic seances in
the hope Of obtaining message from the
departed Joseph, and told her friends
that she had received several from him.
On Sunday last she visited Mrs. Julia
Root, Christian scientist by profession,
to be cured. Mrs. Root was re-
siding at Mrs. Caswell's house
at No. 400 Grand avenue. She
asked to see Mra. Root alone, and when
ushered into her room ran toward her
with outstretched hands saying: "In
the name Of God, if you can, help me,
