4 WoMAN,s STRANGE SUICIDE
She Fastens n Ropo TO Her Neck ana the
Car Rail and Jumps On.

CINCINNATI, May 2l.-Among the passengers
who left Chicago on last nights MOnon train
was a well-dressed woman. She acted rather
lueerly, attracting the attention Of other occu-
pants OF the car. Shortly after leaving Chicago
she pulled out n bottle OF whskey and began to
drink freely. Sho took a passengers hat and put
1t In her basket. Twice she walked to the end
OF the yestibule train as IL debating something
and then returned to her seat and drank again
from the bottle. For the third time she stepped
out OF the door and closed 1t. This was while
the train was nearing Delphi Ind. Not return
ing in q few minutes the conductor was noi
fed. Examination showed piece of small
rope tied to the iron work at the side OF the
vestibule platform. Tho end showed 1t had
been violently broken. There was no trace OF
the woman.
The train which was running at the rate Of
thrty-fve miles an hour. was STOPPED at
Delphi and q hand car was sent back to find
the passenger Her dead body was soon dis
covered lying in pool OF water ut tho side OF
tho track. Around her neck was piece OF the
rope that was attached to the platform. 1t had
sunk so deeply into the flesh as to nearly sever
the head. Her neck was broken. and her body
torn and lacerated as II It had been dragged
some distance. The body was brought to Del
phi. but none OF the pa sengers could give the
name OF the woman.
She had ticket from Duluth. Mimi. to Gin
cinnati, and had said she was going to the lat
ter city because she had nowhere else to go.
The strange suicide created much talk along
tho railroad. and late in the afternoon the
woman was identified from the description and
clothing az Mrs. Ida Ware formerly Mrs. Streat-
ly Of Hamilton. Ohio. She had been living for
some time in Duluth and two weeks ago wrote
her parents, living in Hamilton. that she was
coming on a visit Her trunk arrived tonight.
but contained nothing throwing light on the
suicide. The family cannot account for the
act. but do not think she was Of unsound mind.
Some three years ago she had domestic trouble
resulting in divorce from her husband. She
was 81 years OF age The railroad officials
have notified the family that they will bring
the body to Hamilton tomorrow.
