A Woman With a Suicidal
Mania for Whom the Law
Has No Safeguard.

A woman in deep mourning followed
by a fair young woman holding an infant
in her arms alighted from the patrol
wagon in front of Justice Stilsing's court
this morning. She was under duress as
q dangerous lunatic. When she was led
to the prisoners stand Judge Stilsing
was handed a letter written by DR.. Rec
tor. of Grand street, to County Physician
Converse. From this 1t was CLEANED that
the woman, Mrs. Kate Howard, had lost
her husband seven months ago. Two
weeks ago she gave birth to q child and
she has since been in a very delicate con-
dition, and as she was bereft OF support
was entitled to the care of the county.
The Judge after reading the letter, was
in a quandary, but after questioning the
women and listening to the testimony OF
several alleged friends, he discharged the
woman
Tn case was reported to Captain Far
rier, of the First precinct station, Inns
morning. Warden Osborn, of the City
Hospital, was asked If he could take heI
in. He replied by telephone that she hao
been a patient in the institution be fore
and was not a fit subject for the hospital.
The Captain intimated that she was de-
mented. The report having been first
made to the police by Captain Archibald
Sherwood, Of q canal boat lying at the
foot of Morris street, with whom the untor-
tunate woman was living. Chief Murphy
summoned the captain before him, and
the captain said he had invited the
woman, who is a widow of the late Harry
Howard, a conductor on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad, dur
ing a siege of m~elaucholia, which had set
in after her husbands death. to make her
home with his family on the canal boat,
hoping the change of scene and his fam
ily's companionshiD would have a bene-
fetal effect upon her mind. Since then
she had attempted to drown herself no
less than three times, and fearing that
she would make away with herself and
child. he preferred the charge of danger

WOODBURY., August s, 1S90.-Engine
No. /, drawing sixteen heavily loaded
freight cars, and engine No. 2, running
as a special with an empty passenger
coach, were in collision at Gibbstown, on
the Delaware River Railroad. seven miles
south of here yesterday. The collision
occurred at q sharp curve which hid the
trains from view until within fifty yards
of each other. The engines telescoped
and two freight cars were wrecked. The
passenger coach was uninjured.
Engineers and tiremen all jumped. One
of the engineers was seriously injured
about the head and face. He was q new
man on the road, and this was his first
trip. His name cannot be ascertained.
The freight train was to have taken on
a car loaded with giant powder at Gibbs
town Station, and had the accident hap
pened a few minutes later, it would nc
doubt have been attended by serious loss
of life.
