MRS. s. L. MILLER.
A Woman From Knoxville, Tenn,
Disappears.

CINCINNATI, February 9,-A rather
strange disappearance of woman was
reported to the police last evening. A
guest of the Palace Hotel has not
been seen for twenty-four hours, and
Manager Maxwell is alarmed over her
disappearance.
About s o'clock Saturday morning a
woman carrying large, white, will
low basket entered the Palace
Hotel and registered as Mrs. S. +.
Miller, Of Knoxville, Tenn. She was
assigned to room 1903, on the second
floor. She took breakfast, but she did
not come down to dinner. In the
evening bellboy, Albert Brown, went
to her room and found her che wing
snuff. He showed her the way to the
dinning room. She returned upstairs
and was found roaming around on the
top floor. She vas shown to her room,
Sunday she took breakfast and supper.
About o'clock she was seen gong
out OF the hotel, carrying the basket.
That was the last seen of her.
The disappearance vas reported to
Manager Maxwell, and he visited the
room. All ne found was a well-worn
sealskin sacque and cloth sack trim
med in fur.
The sealskin wrap was made or sold
by Arnold Constable & Go. of New
York In one of the side pockets
piece of black silk sewed to the side
was found. On it, worked in yellow
silk, was the. name "Nellie Black"
Two dirty linen handkerchiefs were
ound in another pocket. In another
packet was found paper bag contain
ing few English walnuts. On the
bag was printed 81, I. Honaker, Gro
ceries, Vine and Upper streets, Lex
ington, Ky.
The stamp on the black coat is
"Lovem, Joseph and Loeb, Birming-
ham, Ala.
Mrs. Miller is evidently between 80
and 35 years old. She has very
black hair and fiat nose. She is
about five feet four inches in height
and medium build, She wore a black
sateen dress and black hat with black
feathers. When about the hotel, she
appeared to be worried about some
thing. The bell-boys who visited her
room say they are sure she used snuff,
ard some of them say she acted like
she was morphine fiend. Her disap-
pearance is a strange one.

HE WAS DYING,
But His Fireman in the Same Cab did
Not Know Ii.

LIMA, o., Feb. 3.-This morning as
passenger train No. 8, west bound and
due on the Chicago and Erie Road at
6o'clock, was pulling into the city,
Engineer M lst met with a singular
and fatal accident. He was leaning
out of the window on his side of the
cab when a board which projected
out over the cab from one of the freight
cars on the siding struck the side OF
his head and rendered him insensible.
The fireman did not know that any
thing was wrong until the train
dashed over the Chicago and Erie
crossing and passed the depot at the
rate of about thirty-five miles an
hour. The conductor knew something
was wrong and pulled the air-brake
stopping the train after it had run
down in the west yards. Fortunately
the crossing and yards were clear, or a
frightful accident would have resulted

the purpose of opening a stock ex-
change. He took run over to Mem
phis for the purpose of having little
fun with the boys and incidently was
arrested for stealing watch, taken,
as he says, in joke. He was given
eleven months and twenty-nine days
in the work house Soon after his
mother came to this city and appea ed
