Tho Identity Of the Cemetery Suicide
Established.

The Identity Of the Cemetery Suicide
Established.
The supposition that the unknown
woman who suicided in Rosedale ceme-
terry some days ago might be Mrs.
Chamberlain of Sacramento, proved
yesterday to have been erroneous.
David w. Thomas, who was supposed
to know Mrs. Chamberlain, viewed the
remains and stated that he knew no
Mrs. Chamberlain and that he had
never seen the deceased in her life
time.
A clue was obtained later in the day
and the identity OF the suicide will be
obtained without further delay. Some
two weeks ago woman dressed in black
walked mp to expressman F. Dubois,
whose stand is at the corner of Main
and Fourth Streets, requiring him to
convey her trunk from a. Broadway
lodging house to the Hotel Fremont on
Fifth street. He did so and few days
ater she asked him if he would not take
charge of her trunk for her as she was
going to leave the hotel. AS matter
OF accommodation he agreed to do so
and she then borrowed 25 cents of him.
On Friday week ago he saw the woman
for the last time when she asked him
for the loan of dollar and he let her
have it.
Last Monday when he came to his
stand be found pinned to the slate upon
which his customers write their orders a
letter from this same woman asking him
to remove valise belonging to her from
-5111a South Spring street, room 81, and
: to pay 25 cents for her nights lodging.
She wrote that she would then owe him
$3.50 and added that it would be the
last favor she should ask. At the same
time she asked him to keep the satchel
and trunk subject to her order. She
concluded by the words: "Many thanks
and God bless you for your kindly inter-
vention." The signature was merely
sMrs. L." s,sf ave
Yesterday morning Mr.. Dubois read
an account in the HERALD Of the mystery
surrounding the woman in blacks
death. He wentto McKerson & Chase's
undertaking parlors, where he posi-
lively recognized the dead woman as
the one whose trunk was in his posses
sion. He made an effort to secure the
there is no No. 6111 on South Spring
oVAOOts oAAQ uolbu0I Wob Buo AuOWu Ill
any of the adjoining lodging houses.
AT noon yesterday Dubois received q
letter from Mrs. E. Howard Of No. Sl8
Bush street, San Francisco, stating that
she had received communication from
q lady friend in Los Angeles, who wrote
that she owed 80 on her trunk and
valise, and that her letter appeared to
have been penned while il q very
despondent mood. She wanted to know
if the person who had committed suicide
was the woman whose trunk Dubois
held. The same lady also telegraphed
to Coroner Weldon for description Of
the suicide, but made no mention OF her
friend name. 9f7 u
An answer was received late last
night from San Francisco saying that
the name Of the dead woman was
Mrs. Carrie Love. The reason for her
rash act is now clearly established,
It was caused by dependency because
she could not obtain work and was with
out money to purchase the necessaries
of life.

STRUCK BY THE CARS.

A Very Deaf Old Man Injured at the San
Fernando-Street Depot.
VIM. Rogers, very old man, 83 years
of age, who lives with Geo. Foley, his
son-in- law, ON Chestnut street, East Los
Angeles, was seriously hurt yesterday
afternoon on San Fernando street, be-
tween the viaduct and the freight depot
OF the Southern Pacific company.
Being very deaf the old man failed to
hear warning shouts while he was cross
ing one OF the many tracks. Upon one
of these an engine was backing num-
ber OF freight cars, and the foremost one
struck and knocked him down. He was
considerably hurt in the back, head and
arm. The patrol wagon brought him to
the receiving hospital, where his hurts
were dressed.
In the evening Mr.. Foley came to the
police Office and had the old man re-
moved to his residence.

CARRIE love HER NAME, !.
Two Mysterious Cases Of Self
Murder.
The Victor Heights Man Died Yes
terday.
No Clue Found to His Identity-The
Woman who Died In Rosedale
Cemetery Is Now Fully
Identified.

The old Arizona man who took poison
on Victor Heights Friday afternoon died
yesterday morning. Police Surgeon
Bryant and DIR. Weldon were unremit-
ting in their attentions to him, and min
istered to the old man at the receiving
hospital throughout the entire night
They had some hopes at one time that
their patient might recover, and until
within five minutes before he expired
there was some reason to hope that he
might rally, but then rapid sinking
and one or two gasps presaged the end,
which came with startling rapidity at
2 O'Clock.
The railroad ticket from Tucson to
San Francisco in the deceased's pocket
was signed A. Spanler, but to the drug
clerk at the Berlin pharmacy on South
Spring street, who sold him the one
ounce vial OF laudanum. he gave the
name Of Joseph Wentz, of German ma
tionality. He said that he resided at
Eckert's hotel, near the Southern Pacific
railroad depot, and that he lived at
Olive postoffice.
This name does not coincide with that
on the ticket, which is written in q
cramped hand, A. Spanler. Therefore
the mystery of the mans identity is not
positively settled.
Coroner Weldon held an inquest upon
the body at the morgue yesterday after
noon. and the jury found that the
deceased had committed suicide.
A paper, picked up by a boy named
George Lawson, on Victor Heights,
near Pearl street on Friday evening,
near the place where shortly before the
man had been found, was introduced. It
was written in neat German hand and
the language, as well as the spelling,
shows education. The writing did not
in any particular resemble that on the
ticket. The paper looked as if it had
been found in the gutter. On it there
was the following in pencil: H
plete in this world! Fslsehood and de-
ceit hold sway in all places; on the
mountains alone is there liberty. There
only is the world perfect, where man
does not intrude with his tribulations.
Oh, naturel how beautiful art thou,
though unfortunately 60 little under
stood and the few that respect thee are
fettered hand and foot.
"a HAPPY UNHAPPY ONE"
No connection could be esta blished
between this paper and the deceased.
Although the name of the suicide was
also matter of conjecture, the jury
concluded to let him rest under that of
Joseph Wentz. He was buri ed yester-
day evening by Orr & Sutch.

past, despite the most strenuous efforts
OF the federal official to unearth them.
A number OF people have been inn
posed upon by having the spurious coin
passed upon them, and complaints to
the official have been numerous. Along
the line of the Southern California rail-
road the supply of the coins seems to be
particularly large, a peculiar fact being
that they find their way into circulation
all the way from this city to San Juan
Capistrano, where they suddenly stop
putting in an appearance.
The coins are easily detected on in
spection, being poor in design and of
rough finish, but they ring as true and
silvery as if made by Uncle Sam him
self.

In Memoriam.

Mrs. CORA NJ. GOvERAU, nee Whele-
hon, died at her parents residence in
Arcadia, Mo-, Friday, August 9TH, at
7:15 p. VI. She was born September
25th, 1859, in Bonnie Terre. Mo-, and
was therefore in her thirty-third year
when death claimed her. In 1870 she
came with her parents to the Arcadia
Valley, where she resided until her
marriage to Mr.. +. H. Goverau in De-
cember 9th, 1889, when she and her
husband moved to Doe Run, St. Fran
co.'s county. Her health failing her,
they removed to St. Louis in July, 1891,
and thence three months later, by ad-
vice of the attending physician, to San
Antonio, Texas. But the dread dis
ease (consumption) defied all remedies
of physician and climate; Mrs. Gov
erau became gradually weaker and
weaker. until it became apparent that
the end was near. Last July her sor-
rowing husband brought her to her
parents home in Arcadia, there to
breathe her last surrounded by all she
held nearest and dearest on earth.
The end was calm and peaceful, and
the pure spirit winged its fight into
the realms of eternity, cheered by the
never-failing light of religions faith.
An obedient and loved daughter, ten
der and faithful wife, the memory of
what she was, abides to console those
who sorrow in their present bereave-
ment. She rests in peace.
