The Sad End of Debauch With n South
Woman in New York.

The Sad End of Debauch With a South
ern Woman in New York.
Col. David c. Houston. an engineer in the
United States army, died yester day morning at
ST. yincent's Hospital. New York, of jaundice
lie was fifty-eight years OF age and native of
New York.
The circumstances surrounding the colonel's
death are peculiar. Two weeks ago
the colonel, accompanied by woman
known as Mrs. Minnie Porter. went
to the Everett House and they were assigned to
separate rooms. Mrs. Porter passed as his
niece. The couple did large amount of
drinking and the hotel people refused to fur
nish Mrs. Porter with liquor after learning of
the amount she consuming.
FRIDAY last some of Col. Houstons friends
called at the hotel and found the army officer
in such a condition that they at once sent him
to ST. Nincent's Hospital The fact of his re-
moval TO the hospital was kepta profound secre.
friends.
In the meantime the woman kept
M her debauch. procuring liquors ont
side the hotel Sunday her condi-
ton became such that the hotel proprietor
had her removed to Bellevue Hospital, where
she was placed in the alcoholic ward.
Before leaving the hotel the unfortunate
woman told the housekeeper that her home was
in Tennessee and that her husband a son and a
daughter we're living there.
At the hospital the woman's condi-
tiOu grew worse and the physicians said
the woman could not live dispatch
has been received at the hospital from STAN
ford. Conn. stating thai some persons would
come on and take care of the woman.
The attending physicians at St. yincent's
hospital would neither deny nor assert that
Col Houston had been a victim of alcoholism.
Col. Houston a graduate of the United
States military academy at West Point He
served with distinction in the civil war and
received the brevet rank Of captain in 1862 for
hi gallan; services at tine battle of Cedar
Mountain At the close of the war he
was made a brevet colonel He received a
commission majOr in the army in 1867 and
wa made lieutenant colonel of engineers in
1852
