rey, rather pretty little woman, was
forcibly kidnapped to-day by two un-

depot i'll time to catch the train for
Northern Wisconsin. The deed was
committed at the corner of Franklin
and Van Buren, streets in broad day
light and in full view of hundreds of
persons passing to and fro to their daily
labor, but was done with such neatness
and dispatch that no one seems to have
realized at once that crime was being
committed, and no mention was made
OF it to the police until too late.
Mrs. Mowrey IS scarcely nineteen
years of age. but has been twice mar
ried. Her first husband, from whom
she was divorced, was Rubert Secord,
young man whose present address is
Packwaukee, Wis. He is said to have

was received by her parents. The mes

over large section of the country as
an authority on matters of sanitation.
The murder was the outgrowth of
feud of more than years standing,
and the crime created the Wild
ess excitement. Many threats of
lynching were made against the
murderer, since the shooting. About Q

at the Second ward market and had

Deserted by Her Lover She De-
strOyed Herself
PITTsBURG, Pa, March This even
ing brought to light sad romance.
Emil Hecht, of this city, who formerly
worked for President Bloch of the Vi
emma railroad at Warsaw, Poland, called
at the city mOrgue and positively identi-
fed the remains of the young lady who
committed suicide in the union station
yesterday, as Eva Bloch, the daughter
of his former employer in Poland. On
the girls wrist is a peculiar silver brace
let, of the design of bride bit, which
Hecht says is the Polish insignia of a
marriage vow. Passengers who trav-
eled on the same train with the girl
from Philadelphia give the information
that she was accompanied to this country
by an officer in the Polish army: that
he had remained in Philadelphia, prom
ising TO follow her to tins city: that they
had ran away from Holland and were
to be married in America. A cable-l
gram was sent to the girls parents tok
night asking what disposition should IN
made of the remains. Hecht says tfA
the parents Of the suicide are ~
wealthy. The Poles in PIttSburg Eve
subscribed $50, which will be u ~ to
give the remains a respectable l. H%dl on
Tuesday next, unless definite WHld con-
trary to this plan is received from her
parents. Another note written in Polish
language was found secreted III the
young lady'S clothing, which translated
reads: "l1e has deserted me and wish

FOUND sTRYCHNINE.
Another Alleged Victim of Miss
Rose ZOIdOski.

RICHLAND CENTER, Wis, March T.
a report has been received from Prof.
Haines, of Chicago, who analyzed the
internal organs of Mrs. DR.. Mitchell,
who died suddenly two years ago, which
establishes the fact that she died from
the effects of strychnine. The in
VestigatiOn was brought about
by the discovery that Miss Ella
Maley. who died last January, had
been pOiSC led with strychnine. Miss
Rose Zoldcski is under arrest. charged
with having poisoned Miss Maley, and
now that it is discovered that Mrs.
Mitchell died from the same cause, she
will probably be held to answer for that
crime. Miss Zoldoski became infatu-
ated with DR.. Mitchell. and it is be-
lievtd that she made away with his
wife. and subsequently when she dis
covered that the doctor was paying
some attention to Miss Maley, put her
out of the way also.
