A Story of Mrs. Harrison.

Detroit News New York Letter.
While in Washington the other day heard a
story about Mrs. Harrison. A young woman,
the orphan daughter of a once famous literary
man, brought letter of introduction to John
Wanamaker. 1t was simple request that the
Postmaster General would assist the young
woman in seeing Mrs. Harrison, because she
wanted to use her name for fair that she was
getting up and which at that moment did not
look very promising. Mr.. Wanamaker left
room full of gentlemen discussing a posto office
matter to take the young woman kindly by the
hand, pat her on the cheek affectionately, as is
his custom, and then with hurried excuse he
left the Department, pushed the young woman
into cab, and drove to the White House. Mr.
Harrison treated the young woman very consd-
erately and promised that he would use his in
nuence with his wife to attain the object the
visitor was after.
"Why not go and see Mrs. Harrison now
about it ?" said Mr.. Wanamaker.
"Good idea," said the President; 'slet us gon
And the three started off together to find the
Presidents wife,
1t was near lunch hour, and Mrs. Harrison
warmly invited the entire party to join her at
lunch. The young woman was much surprised
at her cordial reception, as well she might have
been, for she expected she would have to wait
few days in Washington before an opportu-
nifty would present itself to even see the
Presidents Wife, After luncheon was over Mr.
Harrison whispered something in his wife's ear,
and left the two women together They chatted
for half an hour on the subject, and while at
first Mrs. Harrison demurred against taking the
prominent part in the fair matter that her visitor
wished her to take, she finally consented, and
once more surprised the girl by saying; ''As you
are stranger in Washington, | will take you
around with me for drive this afternoon"
And so it came that the Presidents wife and
the young woman drove for couple of hours
thrOnuh of and H,,o H.
in the early twilight the Presidents carriage
drove up to the small hotel at which the young
woman was stopping, and she was deposited
there, the happiest being in the world.

Coroner Towers and a Jury Com

Coroner Towers and jury COM
menced an investigation at Gleason &
Byorum's undertaking establishment
yesterday. as to the cause of the death
of Joseph f. Anderson. County Attor
ney JamisOn was present and took care
full notes of the testimony given by the
witnesses, which will be used when the
case gets into court. Attorney Than,
who represents Buchan, the man who
is charged with firing the shots which
caused Anderson's death also watched
the testimony closely in his clients ill
tereSt.
w. 81. Rowe, the JUNIOR member of
the firm of Dart & Co., by whom Ander-
son was employed, was the first wit
ness. He was greatly affected by the
death of Anderson. He said he had
been employed by his firm for over four
wears as driver, collector and order
clerk. He was sober and industrious
man, and in the four years the witness
had only seen him under the influence
of LIQUOR once in that time. He always
claimed to be q married man. Mr..
Rowe was positive that Anderson was
not of quarrelsome disposition, in fact
he would rather laugh at man than
fight with him. He never knew that
he carried a revolver. He had seen the
body in the morgue, and identified it as
it as that Of Joseph F. Anderson.
Fred w. Schambeck, the fireman with
whom Anderson boarded, was the next
witness. He identified the body as that
of Joseph f. Anderson. He knew that
Anderson was married, for he and his
l. 4 l., In l,
ing the troubles which occasionally
arose between Anderson and his wife,
he said: sit was common occurrence
for Mrs. Anderson to dress up on Satur-
day afternoon and go away from home,
never showing up until Sunday morn
ing. Joe had separated from his wife
number of times on account of this. but
he always forgave her and took her
back. l never knew that he carried
revolver, and I know that he was
temperate man. He would occasionally
take a glass of beer, but that was all,
and never knew him to get under the
influence of liquor. On the night of
the shooting he left the house about
7:l5 to 20 to ST. Paul; the next saw OF
him was in the-hospital. l did not know
Buchan and never saw him to my
knowledge"
r.W IL. Rockford teStlled as 10 Cne ma
ture of Anderson's wounds and the
operation performed. When the alb
dominal cavity was exposed a little
hemorrhage was observed. The left
lobe of the liver was wounded and the
posterior wall of the stomach perforated.
Dr. Rockford described the operation in
detail, including the stitching of the
wounds. The abdominal cavity was
thoroughly washed out with solution
of bichIoride, and afterwards with dis
titled water. The intestines and other
organs were then replaced aud por-
ton of the peritoneum stitched sep
arately. The bullet was removed from
the back where it had lodged, betwee
the ninth and tenth ribs. 1t lay right
under the skin. The other bullet,
which struck him in the leg, fell on the
floor while his trousers were being re-
moved and one of the nurses picked it
up. DR.. Rockford had conducted the
post morsem examination and In bis
