A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
"A Stranger Drops Demented Old Woman
In Roanoke and Disappears.

"A Stranger Drops n Dcmented Old Woman
In Roanoke and Disappears.
An old white lady was taken off the
Norfolk and Western train yesterday
by man about so years of age. They
were roughly clad and seemed to belong
to the poorer class. From the grip
sacks which the man carried they would
be taken for companions who wore
travelling. The old lady was loft in
charge of "Aunt Mary" tho ladies' at
tendant at the depot, whilc the man
went out to look for his companions
friends. lie said she had acquaintances
in Roanoke, and he had brought her
here to live with them.
The man went away, and the old wo-
man was left alone. Aunt Mary saw
that her mind was impaired and at
times had hard work to keep her from
wandering out on the railroad track.
After staying away for some time the
man returned, and said he had
found her friends and gave Aunt Mary
twenty-five cents to send her out in a
"bus." Tho man then picked up her
gripsack and that was the last that has
been seen of him.
Aunt Mary sent the woman out by a
hack driver, but he soon returned with
his charge saying that no such people
could BIO found. The man gave the
name of the family as Nunley.
Officer Ware tried to find out the wo-
mans name, but she had no memory
for anything. He then took her to po-
lice headquarters, where tho commits
sioner of the poor was called in and
found that her name was Mrs. Rhoda
Hodgers. She could not tell what
county she camo from, but said her post
office address was Tennell's Store, or
something that sounded like that. She
was sent to the almshouse until an in
vestigatlon of the matter can be made.
Who the man was that brought the
helpless old woman here is a mystery.
He never made himself known, and
left the city on the next train. Mrs.
Hodgers is certainly fit subject for the
asylum, and if nothing can be heard of
her people board of lunacy will be
asked to examine the case.

In an Asylum.

In an Asylum.
 NEW YORK, Nov 3O.-Edward M Field was taken to the Bloomingdale Insane asy- lum on Saturday. The senior member of the firm of Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co., withdraws from the world sadly tarnished name. He leaves behind him disaster, con- fusion a wreck of a business firm ruined by his misdoings and blot on the 'scrutcheon of an illustrious family. The innuendoes and accusations of Wall street are justified. Ed ward M. Field not only rehypothecated rail way bonds placed with him as collateral, but he misappropriated large sums of money. He raised loans on worthless securities foist- ed by him on many banks and on private individuals as we'll He deceived his part ners also.
 The Field family's cup of bitterness surely overfows. Cyrus w. Field was prostrated by the death of his beloved wife, and with the weight of this affliction still upon him he had to face the terrible story of his sons disgrace and financial and mental ruin.
 The fame and the honor of the house of Field were household words. Had the re- responsibilities of the ruined firm been less the remnants of great fortune would have been bestowed to save the name of Field. Cyrus Field was willing to give up his all.
 A family conference was held Saturday and yesterday at the home of Cyrus w. Field.
 Too Great a Sacrifice.
 The conference was held to decide what course should be taken by Cyrus w. Field rees.rding Edward M. Field. Edward M Fields liabilities arising from the peculiar conduct of his business, which is such as tc give rise to intimations of dedication and forgery, amount to millions To satisfy the claims of his creditors would require Cyrus W. Fields entire fortune and considerably more
 When the desperate situation had been fully discussed it was finally decided, ir view of the fact that even if Cyrus w, Field should sacrifice his entire fortune he would not be able to meet the liabilities of his son that he should not make the sacrifice.

He Refers to It in Very Strong Language
 at a Banquet.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-"But, in doing honor to the people of the south, they should not confront us with that stinking old rag of treason" These were the words of General John Palmer, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, in the course of his remarks yesterday at the banquet given in his honor in the Clarendon hotel, Brooklyn.
 General Palmer's remarks follow ''There is no class of men on Gods earth that are half so appreciated for their gallantry and valor or t.at so reflected credit on American valor, and whom we are so willing to for give, as the soldiers of the south. But we cannot forget the loss of hun dreds of millions of money and of the lives of hundreds of thousands of men who are now lying in their graves because of the rebellion. In doing honor to the peo- pie of the south they should not confront us with that stinking old rag of treason. I believe that the men who were in the struggle at the front want no more fight ing but when we listen to the young scions who say that the Confederacy is to them an inspiration and that they will avenge the cause of their soldiers, it is too much to bear in silence. Loyalty to the Stars and Stripes will ever nerve us in the cause of the UniOn"
