NEW York. March 12.-Tonight II II.
Pearson. proprietor Of the Coleman house
at Broadway and Twenty-seventh.st,
found a woman in the hotel dead. She
came there Yesterday morning and regis
tered as Mrs. L. C. Carter St. Louis.
When found she had a bullet wound in
her breast. Beside her was bottle con-
tanning laudanum and morphine. She
WAS about twenty-five years old, mad blue
eyes, wore brown dress, sealskin coat
and muf, brown plush hat trimmed with
blue, black silk underskirt, button shoes.
She had an umbrella with silver hand G.
No baggage, or anything that gives a clue
TO her identity. The chambermad went
to the woman's room this afternoon to do
it up. She could not get in. and as the
key OF the room was still in the lock on the
inside the chambermaid's key would
not open the door. 4 hall boy
was sent around TO the fre-escape,
and be got into the room from the
window to find the woman lying on the
bed dead. Deputy Coroner Conway was
then sent for and after his arrival he
found a glass with q portion of a mix
punch in il. This stood by the aide OF
two bottles. one of which proved to con-
tain morphine the other laudAnum. On
the floor was u revolver Upon examin-
ing the body The deputy coroner was OF
the opinion that the woman had been
dead two hours before he got there. On
testing the contents Of the glass he said
the milk punch had been mixed with
laudanum. There WAS bullet wound in
the left breast OF the woman, which is be-
lieved TO be the direct cause of death.
The theory advanced is that after drink
ing half OF the milk punch, which hGd
previously been mixed by her with the
laudanum, the woman stood before the
looking-glass in the room and then, shoot
ing herself through the heart, fell back on
the bed
The bottle found. in the room. which
contained laudanuIn. bore the label of an
Eighth.ave druggist. On inquiry he pro-
duced a record, showing that on Jan l3,

buyer of this poison bore considerable
similarity to the handwriting in which

the whole state, as the question has not been
mentio ned this session. The amendment WAS
sprung in the senate late turday night and
was Immediately adopted by both houses. The
prime cause for the legislatures action was an
article ia the Sacramento b B. {, which appeared
last Saturday evening. Across the whole front
OF the Bee was a heading in large type:

overW
Another heading was:
"The session nearing the tick of its doom,
