THE FATE or A CHICAGO WOMAN IN
MICHIGAN.

Miss Carleton Was Last Seen at Detroit on
Sept. rs When She Purchased a Ticket
for Chicago = Remains of Woman
Dragged from the River Mt Amherst
burg. Ont, and Later Identified as Those
of the Missing Woman.
DETROIT, Oct s5-It has been settled
beyond the question of doubt that the
body of the woman dragged from the
river at Amherstburg, Ont, Sept. 80, was
that Of Miss Olive Carleton of Chicago, a
distant relative Of the poet, Will Carleton.
She disappeared Sept. 81 while on her
way from st. Clair, this state, to Chicago.
1t appears that Miss Carleton visited in
An Sable early in the summer and over a
month ago went to st. Clair to spend five
or six weeks with her brother, Horace
Carleton. A week before she was expect
ed to leave she suddenly announced that
she would start for Chicago the next
morning. She was considered in ST. Clair
an exceptionally bright woman, but very
strong minded. The day before she left
she told her brother, Horace, that she had
800 but needed $40 more, and he gave
her the money.

All Trace of Her Lost.

When she left st. Clair she checked her
trunks to Detroit only, buying her ticket
to this city, She is known to have
reached suburban station, and woman
answering her description bought ticket
from Detroit to Chicago and then all
trace of her is lost. 1t was at first be-
lieved that she had committed suicide, as
she was quite Respondent when she left
ST. Clair because her favorite nephew had
gone away to college. She told her broth
er Horace that she must go home to Chi
cago to prepare for her two nieces who
were to live with her there. When body
was recovered from the river at Amherst
burg, Ont, no Identification was made,
but the facts were reported here. Detec-
tive Mathew Holmes of the Pinkerton
agency went to Amherstburg and had the
body exhumed. He positively identified 1t
by means of disfgured hand, but was
surprised to learn that no valuables or
money were found upon the corpse.
Murdered for Her Money.
1t is now the belief that Miss Carleton
went to one of the railroad offices in the
city TO buy her ticket for Chicago and her
display of wealth led to her death and
that after she was killed the murderers
threw the body into the liver The only
clew on which the detectives have to work
is that mentioned by Detective Holmes
to the Detroit detectives, as he learned that
q strange man had called for her trunks
in Chicago the day following her disap.
pearance. A queer feature of the case is
that the nieces she spoke of meet
ing in Chicago-daughters of Edwin +.
Holmes, the Oscoda lumberman' million.
aire-had not yet returned to Chicago and
could not have been there to meet her.
The Detroit police are investigating the
mysterious disappearance and aiding
Detective Holmes of Chicago as far az
possible.
Reached Detroit Safely.
From details CLEANED it has been learned
that Miss Carleton and her trunks
reached the Brush street depot safely and
that there she had her trunks transferred
to the Michigan Central, intending to
spend the night at the Wayne hotel and
go forward to Chicago the next morning.
While nothing definite can be learned, it
Is believed that she went from the Grand
Trunk depot at Brush street to the Michi-
gan Central and somewhere between the
two was murdered and the checks for her
trunks taken from her. She had about
$3.50 in money, besides her jewelry, when
she arrived in Detroit. The detectives are
now laboring to get description of the
man who either checked the baggage out
of Detroit on the Michigan Central or
claimed it in Chicago Her relatives in
St. Clair are firm in the statement that
she intended to spend the night at the
Wayne hotel, but the clerk there states
that no such person registered at the ho-

PRONOUNCED ABSURD

A Story Published in New Haven
 About the Second Signal Corps.
 HARTFORD, March 14.-A representative of the Connecticut Associated Press called on Major Howard Fl. Giddings. com- mander of the brigade signal corps. to-day and showed him the article in the New Haven Palladium which states that ex- members of the second section have made an appeal to the governor for an investi- gation into the causes of their discharge. Major Giddings- said: Ex-members of that section may have called on Governor Coffin in MiddletowD. I do not believe that they have seen him here in Hartford or I should have known it. Il do not believe the governor can or will interfere in any way. The whole matter has been arranged on advice of Adjutant General Graham and General Haven. The Palladium article speaks as though Mir Wheeler were already lieutenant. That is not so. Six men have been enlisted and three more will be transferred from the New Haven Grays. When the section has it's complement of men an election will be ordered and ex- pect Mir Wheeler will be elected lieutenant. The only reason for delay in re-organizA- ton is to have the three men transferred from the Grays. As to our trying to make the corps an aristocratic body, that is absurd. What we want is men who can do the work. The former members of the second section were given every chance to come up to the standard but failed. No have received on communication from Governor Coffin or from the adjutant gen. erals office.

THE COURT HOUSE BILL

Treaaurer Jacobs Favora 1t and Says
 LitChnsld County should Share the Expense.
 At the meeting of the New Haven county representatives yesterday afternoon, the Waterbury court house matter was put over for one week owing to the absence of Mir Gum of Milford one of the oom- mittee.
 County Treasurer Hiram Jacobs explain ed concerning expenses and finances of the county. He said:
 ''So far as the court house is concerned, I would gay that believe Waterbury is entitled to it. There are four counties in the state each of which is of less impor- tance financially than the Waterbury judi cial district. But the four rich towns of Litchheld county Tn the district should pay their share; New Haven county should not pay for them, With this amendment this proposition to Waterbury is fair one.
 ''The extraordinary expense of New Ha- ven county for the past twenty years have been about $210. .000 and this expense was for the new Housatonic river bridges. If it is not desired to pay for the jail exten- sion at once, would recommend tax of one tenth of a mill per year, which would provide for and retire the bonds. would favor twenty year bonds at 5 per cent It it is desired to pay for this improvement at once a two mill tax would rise $2OO, DO. but in these hard times I believe that would be opposed"

INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
Relieved That the Reported Death Of
 Dr Ernrra NNns n Enke

Relieved That the Reported Death of
 pr Graves Was Fake.
 The members of the United Order of the Golden Cross have made an interest ing discovery concerning Dr T. Thatcher Graves, the alleged poiscner of Mrs Bar nabee. who is supposed to have committed suicide in the Colorado state prison while awaiting a second trial for the crime. Re- gently the discovery was made that Dr Graves had been a member of that order and that although supposed to be dead no claim for the g, GOO insurance on his life has ever been presented to the order, The attention of the grand lodge was called to this matter and the local councils were informed that they dId not regard him as dead. The officers of the 'grand lodge expressed the belief that the alleged suicide was taEe and that the body removed from the Col orado state prison in & casket was that of another person. To further strengthen the story one of the grand officers stated to one of the members that his heirs dare not present a claim for they knew he wss alive and that should they do so it would be bitterly contested. This revives a story which was printed in the west at the time of pr Graves supposed death to the effect that by liberal use of money among the prison officials he had been able te sham suicide and escape. The body was entered at Thompson in this state. There were no religious services and the casket was not opened.

PoIIshsrs at the Factory of Rogers & Brother on Strike.
 Twelve men employed in the rag-wheel polishing department of Rogers < Brothers went on a strike to-day for higher wages. An official of the company said to DEMOCRAT reporter concerning the trouble:
 '.The men have not all received the same amount of wages. This morning 1 they sent a committee to Superintendent James w. Tobin and made demand for a uniform amount of wages for all and 1 also an increase. The superintendent told the committee that he could not agree to their demands. The twelve men then quit work" The officers at the factory say that they have engaged ali the help they require to take the strikers places and that the present time is a very bad one to go on a strike as work is not very pushing. The strike will not effect the other departments. Several of the men were seen iby a DEMOCRAT representative and told the | following story:
 Fourteen men went out on the strike. l Of that number three have been receiving S1 GO day. The rest averaged from $1 10 to S1 30 day. They only worked five days a week. Lately their boss has been proving himself very obnoxious. Yesterday he told the men they were not working hard enough and this morning wanted to know if they were all asleep. They held consultation and de- cided that under such bossism and with the wages they were getting, they world make a demand for more money. They were refused and qult work. They also feel very bitter toward two men who have taken their places, They claim that one of them was one oi the old strikers and that they refused to take his position when he quit, although
 they could make g 75 day, where he can now get but Sl 60.

obItuary of R,eh,ra o,oorm.n.

Of course it was well known to everyone of Irish birth that Richard O'Gorman was one of those young men who, in the strug- gle for their oountry's independence in 1S4S, gave additional brightness to the usual lustre of that race in all matters concerning the interests of their country. He shed lustre even on those qualities for which they are remarkable-their rhetori- cal splendor, thelr statesmanly capacity and their soldierly courage and skill. Of those who. in lS4S, had so distinguished themselves, there had been none more es- teemed by those who knew him, either personally or professionally, through his speeches. than Richard O'Gorman. Obliged to leave his native land when young in years. and when there was marked out for him a decided career of more than ordinary splendor. so far as were concerned the courts and what the courts yielded to those who, in Ireland made themselves marked by their talents, and abilities, by all who saw his early dis. plays, a lofty career was predicted for him and by none more emphatically than by O'Connell himself. Richard O'Gorman, because of his patriotism, his fervent desire to free his native land, was thrown far away from the scenes in which his peaceful avocationS lay-far from his friends and from his native land, and a stranger in this country after having been remote parts of Europe - by the means of Father Meehan of kilrush he got passage on a boat bound for Fur key and from Europe came to the United States. From that day to the day of his death. MT O'Gorman had pursued that quiet course which a good citizen and a sensible man would adopt when endeavor- ing to show that his own probity, his hon. esty, his industry and the desire to build up an honorable reputation for himself and his family, were the basis of his char acter. Richard O'Gorman had been all this. He had been in the quiet avocations of life. an honest, industrious and able man. He had shown his ability at the bar; he had shown it in every instance in which he had been called upon to speak the reflection of his own mind. With everything that fell under intelligent con sideration, whether it were the subject oi Shakespeare, or of the arts and sciences or of his own dear land which he loved SC | dearly-and periled his life in heI cause When the services of true man were re quired for the purpose of doing anything national. he was sure to be there with hii great ability, his ample means. and thu honorable influence he yielded in tn, community.

His lonI connection with the 69th, and the zeal anC ability which he displayed in its behalf that alone. outside of any duty he haG yielded to the community. and apart iron tbe brilliant qualities he possessed. en titled him to the highest admiration anu had secured for him the warm sst esteem May he rest in peace.
