 Mrs. Walker is the widow of Fred Walker, bookmakers of New Orleans, by whose suicide a few weeks since, it is said she was nearly crazed Her former husband was United States Senator Mcintyre, of Louisiana He died several years ago.
 The police have been able to learn that Mrs. Walker came here from the home of her father-in-law, Hugh Walker, of Guelph, Ontario, where she went in nearly demented condition after the death of her husband.
 They know that one of the men who brought her to Mrs. Tracy's house was a trained nurse named Elliott, hired by Mrs. Walker to make the journey with her and that the other was cab man. From this point the mystery of the case begins The fear of foul play is mingled with the wonder of the medical profession at the unpre- cedented duration of the comatose state.
 It is thought that there may be clot or effusion of blood on the brain, the result of blow or fall. Since Thurs day xMrs. Walker has murmured at times about being shut up in a cell, and seems to be asking some one to release her.
 Physicians are keeping her alive by the aid of stomach pumps and electri- cal treatment.

LETTER CARRIERS COMPLAIN.
Charges Brought Against Them De
layed Too Long.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is, 1S95ASinee
the Investigations into the conduct of
letter carriers by secret agents of the
post office department have become gem
eral, persons representing the accused
have called upon department officials in
defense of the carriers, who they claim
have not been accorded a fair and just
showing. They say that the charges
made against the carriers of drinking
and lettering while on duty are NOT
brought to the attention of the. accused
urftil a long time has elapsed, which
makes it difficult for the carrier to state
accurately and in detail jest what he
was engaged in ait the time the secret
agent secured a basis for the charges.
They also contend thai it is no great
~fnfraction of rules for CARRIER on his
route to accept the invitation of a. saloon
keeper and take a drink while delivering
a letter. They also argue that had the
Dockery Commission, in making an In
vestlgation of the executive department
at Washington, adopted the methods en-
nloyed by the secret agents OF the post
office department. the United States Civil
Servtcss Commit sion would have been
unable to secure an eligible register fast
enough to fill the ~vaeancies or tnose
dropped as a result OF SUCH an mVestl-
# IS stated by one of the champions
of the carriers that the department has
n1odified the work of these secret agents
and in a number of instances greatly re-
duced the periods OF suspension gu car
riers which shows that the same import
,anae is not now attached to the reports
of the agents as formerly. The matter
will be Brought up for discussion at the
n,eeting of the Letter Carriers Assocba-
tEon at philadelphia on Labor Day.

commissary general of the army has re-
ceived two of the reports asked for from
the eight assistant commissaries gem

dieney of adopting an emergency ration,
and the kind that should be used. The
other six are expected within a month
and when they are all in the COM
missary general will end his decis-
ion in the matter.
There is no doubt that some sort of
emergency ration will be adopted, but
whether it's composition will be based on
that Of some European nation or be of
an entirely new order will depend on the
views of Commissary General Hawkins
n his eight assistants.
Several specimens OF emergency rationS
