The evening times., 1896-03-27

Miss wnalens troubles now seem to be
over. THIS morning friends collected d
fund for her, and she Will nave Il home as
soon as she selects a house.
There were lively times yesterday on
street, immediately opposite the city post
office, as Constable Gibbons. assisted by
a squad Of staIwart coior,d men, evicted
her from No. go. The woman who was
put out on the pavement in the raw March
wind is about ffty years Old and is well
known in the neighborhood as Miss Mary.
She is small III build aid very frail look-
ing, and gives appearance OF having seen
much trouble. 1t was pathetic sight TO
see her among her large array of goods
standing on the pavement, while friends
surroun,i,d her and offered assistance. she
has lived at the above number for almost
two years, and only within the last SIX
months or year has she had trouble with
her rent.
KEPT FURNISHED ROOMS.
Miss Mary kept furnished rooms, and
had many persons well known in legal
and official circles as her guests. lhe>e
persons generally Came when they were
east desirable. at a time when no one
else would give them shelter; but MISS
Mary opened her heart and opened Ter
door and gave them n place 10 sleep.
In several cases when men Were suffering
rom the terrible effects of a Gebauch size
mas nursed them until they recovered.
IL is the brother of a man whom she
often nursed whom she claims has done
her the worst injury. This brother was
also the recipient Of some of her Kindness.
and when her rent became due some
line ago he offered to go her security until
she had the money. She accepted the offer,
and her trouble ceased for the moment. She
soon had the money and paid him Sio'
this being two months rent. This he was
TO pay the real estate agents, but he failed
20 do so, and when the agents became
pressing he gave them his note for the
money.
They accepted the note-aDd gave Miss
Mary receipt for her rent for the months
| OF January and February. 1t Is Claimed.
| however, that the note was not paid, and
| the man has left town. When the March
| rent became due In advance, the LIST or the
| month, the agents went before Justice
Stritier and got Judgment for the same.
| with stay OF execution until the 10th
| of the month.
Three days later. the money not vet
having been paid, a writ OF restitution
| was issued and given into the hands OF
| Constable Gibbons, who began to try to
get the money. Miss Mary could not
| raise the full amount, however, and yes
| terday the constable and four colcred
| men went to the house, and. not being
! able to effect an entrance any other way,
| broke open the door and piled the furni-
ture upon tile pavement.
A large crowd gathered and jcered- The
| negroes only went ahead with the work.
Miss Mary stood in the hall and threatened
| Policemen stood around silent spec
| tators while the crowd OF onlookers became
,iense and blocked up travel. The goods
| began % pile up for distance OF fifty rect
| and higher than the heads OF the people
Everything was finally out except Miss
Mary. who still held possession. Per
suasion was of no avail. Miss Mary re-
fused to come out. .... -. s...... .-..
| TAKEN BY FORCE.
1--WE will have to take you. then. said
the constable, and he with one Of his black
assistants, seized the little woman. Sht
struggled, she pleaded, she renionstrated;
they carried her bodily out to the sidewalk
There she found several neighbors. who
| offered her shelter as she had offered II 10
those who had asked her for it.
She finally accepted the offer OF lady
and spent the night with her at her home OF
Sixth street. Her things were watched last
night by friends and this morning she was
hurrying to and fro arranging tn have them
removed to a house which she Will have
rented before the dayis over.
Lawyer X. E. L. White said this morn
ing that to his knowledge Miss Mary's rent
was due only for this month. He had teie-
phoned the agent, asking about it only
4 few days ago, and had received that
reply.

cine. and well known to nearly everybody
