ing been found this morning i'll the
ward Of her home, on Lee street, be-
tween Queen and Princess. The last
seen of the deceased when alive was
ON Saturday about dusk, when she was
making her way homeward; this morn
inc her frozen lifeless body. the face and
head buried in the snow, hair dishevel-
ed and tangled and the arms half erect,
forming the letter W, was the CHASTITY
spectacle presented when neighbors,
who had missed her, sought her where
abouts. At an early hour this morning
Mrs. Robert Travcrs, who lives next
door, not having seen Mrs Robb and
having heard no one stirring in the
house. called to a colored woman
named Lizzie Davis and requested her

was picked up after much difficulty, it
being frozen to the ground, hot water
being applied to loosen it. carried in

ing home Saturday, started from the
house again, the kitchen door having
been found open, and in making her
way out from the yard fell on the ice
and being unable to rise she frozc to
death. The deceased must have been
conscious of the fact that death was in
eyitablc if she lay where she fell, as
from the scattered snow about the body
and bruises on the arms she must have
made every eXertion to regain her feet
