SOCIETY SHOCKED

Nv the Suicide or Miss Daisy Gax1an0s
Daughter OF Ex- Attorney General Gar-
Iand-Her late Mysterious Disappear-
ance from Her Home Explalned-No
Cause Assigned. s
WASHINGTON, Oct 2S. The death by
her own hand of Miss Daisy Garland,
only daughter Of ex-Attorney General
Garland, shocked all Washington. At
tractive in appearance and manners In
q marked degree the young lady, be-
cause of her prominence during her
fathers occupancy of cabinet position
during Mr.. Cleveland's prior admins
tration, and because of her own per-
sonal charms was q well-known ana
very popular figure in society. She
lived with her father and brother in
the handsome residence Gen. Garland
had recently purchased on Rhode
Island avenue.
On the 10th of last August she mys-
teriously disappeared from home. and
after the lapse of three days. during
which time no news had been received
of her, the police were requested to
join in the search. This description
was then sent out from police head
quarters:
tall, stout, dark eyes and hair. Wore dark
dress and several diamonds. Carried small
eatchel when last seen. She is . daughter OF
ex-Attorney- General Garland Notify SlS
Rhode Island avenue.
Soon afterwards the tidings were re-
ceived that the young lady was in Bal
timore, and Representative John r.
Fellows, an old-time Arkansas friend
of her father, went over to that city, ac-
companied by her brother, and brought
her back. The explanation then given
was that she had left word with
young lady friend that she intended to
visit Baltimore, and by some means the
message failed of delivery. Her brother
made public statement that he
went over to Baltimore with Col. Fell
lows to the address given (Which was
that of a Catholic family on Madison
avenue}, and there found his sister who
would have returned in a day or two
anyway. He added: stShe thought it
was strange that we had come for her,
and when she reached home found q
number of people waiting for us in the
house and learned the publicity that
had been given her absence and the
alarm it had created she was prostrated
and we thought that we would have to
call in physician. If the message
she sent us had been delivered there
would have been no trouble
Miss Garland, it is asserted, has re-
ferred to this episode, and said she
supposed her friends would want some
explanation. Yesterday morning she
went down to breakfast apparently in
her accustomed health and spirits.
She devoted part of the morning to ar
ranging details for theater party,
but when called for luncheon about
noon was found dead in her bedroom,
shot through the heart by her fathers
pistol, fred by her own hand. The
body was still warm, but no one had
heard the shot fired. Gen. Garland
had gone to his law office Immediately
after breakfast, and first heard of his
daughters tragic death by telephone.
Yesterday afternoon the coroner
viewed the remains, but did not con-
slider an inquest necessary.

THE UNION PACIFIC NOT IN IT.

No Intention of Uniting In Joint Emil
grant clearinghouse. Having Already
Made Its Contracts for q Year.
CHICAGO. Oct. 2s.-It is very evident
that the Union Pacific has no inten.
ton of uniting with the other western
roads in the establishment of joint
emigrant clearinghouse in New York
or to have the business equally divided
among the competing roads. A reply
was received from it yesterday to the
request for conference on the sub
ject. While it-didsnot, refuse outright
to confer, it did condi itionally by say
ing that one could bnot be arranged
for at present It does not want any
conference, besides it has already made
its contracts with the emigrant agents
for a year, and does not want to show
it's hand in the matter.
This means continued demoraliza-
ton in emigrant rates which it will be
next to impossible to prevent spread
ing to other classes of rates. In fact.

as Worlds fair business is got out Of

majority of the q. oOo, 600 subscription
stock will be given to the museum
fund.

have secured nearly 5000. 600 to the
