Her Parents and Friends Know Nothing OF
a Lover.
II IL Now Believed That the Letter
and Telegram Found Among
Her Effects Were Written by
Herself and That She Was the
Victim Of a Peculiar Form OF
I. Insanity.

BERKELEY. Oct 31.-The mystery
surrounding the suicide of Anna Blythe
Hollvwell a member of the freshman
class at the State University, who Kill
ed herself by taking poison on FRIDAY
evening, is still unsolved.
She was a daughter of w. c. Holly
well Of Redlands and had few acquaint-
ances here The letter and telegram
found among her effects, which seemed
to show a gentleman in whom she was
interested had recently died, are now
believed TO have been written by her
self The names signed to them are
unknown to any of her friends or rela-
tives and are thought to be fictitious.
The giii, who was very studious and
of retiring disposition, stunning alike
the society of men and women, appears
to have been mentally unbalanced.
Those who have investigated the cir
cumstances surrounding her suicide are
under the opinion that she was the vic
tim of Il morbid fancy that a man who
had no existence in fact, was dying for
her sake. Possessed of this mania she
tried TO kill herself last Monday night
but was saved from death. Then came
the news presumably i'm her own hand
writing, that her imaginary lover was
deal. After this she took the poison
she had previously procured and soon
was dead. The case is a strange one,
and the only tenable explanation of the
affair is that the young woman was
afflicted with a peculiar form of insan-
ity.
The only clew TO the mystery so far
obtaired is the fact that on the cover
of d Harvard College register found
among the dead girls effects was the
name of Charles A. Ruggles. Her
father says that a young man of tha t
name was a fellow student with Miss
Hollywell at the Redlands High School.
but he could not say whether or not
his middle name was Arthur The let
ter ana telegram which were thought
to have led to the suicide spoke CT
the supposed sweetheart simply as
Arthur.
IL has been harmed that Miss Holly
well was addicted 10 the use of NOR
phine.

death His works have been read
throughout the world and in every Ian
guage known in the universe George
speaks to all humanity"
John S. Crosby, who has been one
of the most active campaigners for
George, was The last speaker. and the
only layman who spoke. His address
dealt more with the duty of the pres
emit. in accordance with the principles
laid down by Henry George, rather than
with mere eulogy of the dead teacher
and evoked applause even more ener-
getic than the remarks of Dr. McGlynn.
The last address was concluded short
ly after ; o'clock and the meeting was
dismissed with directions from a MEM
Der of the committee as to the manner
of dismissal from the hall. Nearly all
those present took advantage of the op-
portunity offered to view the face of
Henry George and the march of his
coffin was continued as it had been in
progress during the day.
The procession which accompanied
the remains TO Brooklyn was in many
respects the most remarkable ever wit
messed in New York. The catafalque
was a magnificent creation of black
broadcloth and at the base was twelve
feet wide There We're five steps lead
ing TO the top. The horses. OF jet black,
We're covered with black silk mourning
and were led by sixteen grooms. The
only emblem on the top of the casket
was small white wreath.
The organizations that paid honor to
Mr.. George by following the funeral
car fell into line from the side streets
off Madison avenue and below Forty
second street. There was some disap-
pointment in the small number Of fol-
lowers and it was conservatively esti-
mated that when the party passed

nue. there We're less than 1900 men in
line
There We're marks of respect all along
the line Barred heads We're the rule on
both sides of the street and many men
and women were noticed TO be crying.
When the open space in front of the
hotels on Twenty third and Twenty
fifth streets was reached, there was
an enormous crowd There were a
number of old men here who seemed TO
be greatly interested, for they stood
with barred heads from the time the po-
lice appeared until nearly all the pro-
cession had passed them. When the
south side of Union Square was reached
the band that had preceded the cata-
falque fell out of line and, taking a
stand on the Sidewalk played a dirge
while the remainder of the procession
passed. 1t was s o'clock when the
head of the column rounded into
Broadway again at Fourteenth street.
An expectant crowd of George wor-
shippers fianked Broadway at Canal
street Here it was also noticed that
there was much weeping.
The procession from that point to City
Hall Park was without incident, save
for repetition OF the scenes of grief
which had been manifested along the
entire route.
Simple private services will be held
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the
family residence. Revs- George and
Lattimer of Philadelphia, cousins Of the
deceased and both Episcopal clergymen,
will officiate.
The body will be carried to Green

Republicans Figure on the Election Of
Tracy.
Grant, However, Thinks
That He Can Show That Judge
Van Wyck Will Get Nearly
24O,OOO, Out of $4,000 That
Will be Cast.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.--The Republi-
can committee confidently anticipates
the election of General Tracy and each
of the Republican borough tickets. 1t
believes, according TO statement is
sued to-day, that the vote for Henry
George in the boroughs of Manhattan
and the Bronx will considerably exceed
the vote of the Citizens Union. 1t is
absolutely confident that Seth Low will
not carry a single Assembly district in
the present city of New York. and the
only one in which there is really any
contest between Tracy and Low is in
the twenty ninth district, which Tracy
will, they say, carry over Low by fully
1000 votes.
The majority by which Governor
Black defeated Porter last year will be
just about the majority by which Tracy
will defeat Van Wyck. In the bor-
ough of Brooklyn Tracy will beat Low
2 to 1. The statement concludes:
1--WE expect to poll 115.000 votes for
Tracy in New York and the Bronx 10,-
600 in Brooklyn, 10000 in Queens and
5000 in Richmond. and we expect that
vote to carry with it plurality on
each borough. The claims of the Cit
liens Union are moonshine. They are
without form and void
OF the vote of the 100000 which it is
expected will be polled in the boroughs
of Manhattan and the Bronx, former
Mayor Hugh j. Grant estimated that
ia, 900 WIFI be cast for the regular
Democratic nominees, which is 3S per
cent. of last years average. which was
low one. This will leave 10000
votes 10 be widely distributed. AS
Stunning that Tracy and Low will have
111.000 votes to divide at the outset,
there remains 6S, coo votes. The So
cialists must be credited with 10000
and the Prohibitionists with 1000.
There will be $1,000 left. OF these
Henry George will get literally and
may be credited with 1900. Of the
remaining 5000 votes, the Tracy and
Low factions will have the National
Democracy votes of last year, and say
about 5000 other Mugwumps, making
1900 altogether, carrying their COM
bined votes up to $4,000. The resi-
due of "a 900 votes will swell the Demo-
cratic column, making its total strength
JAS, ,O00 conservative estimate. In
Brooklyn the registration is 204, 900, of
which 10000 votes will be polled. A
conservative estimate gives the Demo-
Gratis "a, 900, leaving 12S,0O0 to be di-
vided otherwise. Tracy and Low are
apportioned $500 of these. George,
he assumes, will get 5000. The re-
manning $4,000 votes include the 5000
that We're with Shepherd in 1895 and
these are credited to Tracy and Low,
5000 to the Socialists, and 600 to the
Prohfbitionists. The remaining 30

Democratic column. making the entire
