An Invalid for Many Months,
She Disappears From
Her Home.
ALL DAY SEARCH FRUITLESS.
Thought to Have Drowned Herself
Signs of Struggle-Tracks On
Canal Bank.

All day yesterday fifty anxious
searchers covered all the surrounding
woods, scrutinized the water front

discover the whereabouts of Mrs. Mat

her bed since July, 1896, afflicted with
cancer of the stomach. To alleviate
the agony of her sufferings, Mrs. Mil
Ter frequently partook of morphine,
and often expressed an Intention of
"goIng to the river" and ending her
earthly ailments.
On Tuesday night Mr.. Miller, the
son, took fresh bottle of morphine to
the house and placed it on the mantel
of his mothers room. This morning
the room was withoutan occupant and
the bottle was empty. The sick woman
had mysteriously disappeared.
The search was at once begun. The

The search was prolonged into last
night, but no other discoveries were
made, and the case is still wrapped in
mystery.
Mr.. Will Miller said to TIMES man
last night: 81 have no doubt that my
mother drowned herself. Every means
has been used to discover her where
abouts, without success"
The missing woman has another son,

have sold birds at prices lower than for

times, but most of the season they have
been sold at reduced prices. Very few fish
are being caught in the Potomac river near

getting few birds and quite number of
ducks
A few wcodcock are being killed, and
they bring $3.50 a dozen in the market.
Canvas-back ducks and redheads are
scarce, and are bringing s. and s. a pair,
respectively, while mallards much more
plentiful and correspondingly cheaper
Quail are very plentiful. and are selling at
about 81 a dozen cheaper than last season.
Southern birds are selling as low as ST.
a dozen; white birds from this section
bring as high as S.
Pheasants are getting scarce, and grouse
are Eot so plentiful as they were a month
ago. Terrapin have been scarce this sea-

mand have been on the market.
At dinner parties the terrapin is not so
much used as 1t was In former years, craw-

The crayfish. which resembles the lobster,

Baltimore. her family moving in the best
circles of the monumental city. The Misses
Mary and Emily Peter are highly accom-

Mr.. and Mrs. Gather the defendants to
the suits. are widely known throughout
Maryland Virginia and the District Of
