LoNDoN's MYSTERY.
The Death of daiety Actress and an
Army officers Suicide.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The mystery re-
garding the fate of Marion Sharpe, the
gaiety actress, who died on Tuesday last
at the house of Woodburn Heron, an
army surgeon, is increasing There is a
growing opinion that she was poisoned
by DIR. Heron, the army surgeon, who
committed suicide in a hotel on Craven
street last Sunday. Miss Sharpe VINO
was known as Ruby Russell, had ap-
peared in the Lyric and Drury Lane the
atres, and was a favorite with the the
atre goers. The doctor, who was infatu-
ated with Miss Sharpe, induced her to
leave the stage and live with him.
DIR. Heron had been stationed for some
time in Jamaica, where his wife died in
1891, under suspicious circumstances.

Sharpe while waiting orders in London,
and when he was sent to Cambria, in
Africa, he took her with him. They re-
turned from Cambria on the 3d of Sep
tember. Soon after coming back, it ap-
pears, they quarreled. Miss Sharpe was
seized with sudden illness on Tues
day, and died soon after. She was nm

The cause of death not being apparent,
notice was given to the authorities and
an inquest was held. DIR. Heron was
called as witness, and testified on
Saturday. The police had made in
quiries about him and ascertained some
thing of his career in Jamaica. He was
asked in regard to the death of his wife
in Jamaica and admitted that an inquest
had been held upon her remains.
DR.. Heron would have been called
upon for additional explanations later on
in the proceedings, and he appears to
have concluded upon suicide. He went
to the hotel on Craven street the even
ing after the inquest and there engaged

dead in his room, his throat terribly
gashed.
While the death Of tho doctor removes
any possible or probable cause for pro-
ceedings, the authorities are still en-
gagged in ascertaining all they can about
his antecedents, in order to clear up
whatever mystery may remain.

WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-While the i'm
proYement in Mrs. Harrisons condition
since her return to Washington has been
very slight, it has been sufficient to
justify the president in devoting more
time than was possible heretofore to the
consideration OF public business. He
had long conference with Secretary of
State Foster yesterday, presumably in
regard to the Behring sea controversy.
and subsequently conferred with Attor-
ney General Miller on judicial matters.
The president leaves his Office at every
opportunity to visit Mrs. Harrison, as
she soon gets restless and nervous when
he is not by her side.
