LOVE DROVE HER INSANE.
Sad End Of a Once Beautiful and Tai
ented Girl.


Columbus. Ohio. Feb. San unfor-
tunate love affair of IS years ago had
its elimination today when the town
ship trustees OF Westerviile township
asked that an inquest of lunacy be held
on Cassie" Thorndyke, who was found
III q most pitiable state at Westery1lie,
she was at one time "A most talented
musician, and was organist in one Of the
cathedralS of Washington. An un1cr-
tunate love affair made her recluse
ana for % years she has never been
seen by any one except her mother who
cared for her During that time Miss
Ihorndyke has never been outside OF
her bedroom in her mothers house. Mrs,
1nornQyixe was possessed of moderate
means, and has never been forced to ask
for help
Her family is a most aristocratic one.
Today rumors that Miss ThorndyHe was
in a dying condition led the trustees to
make an investigation.
Mrs Thorndyke at first refused them
admittance to .Cassie's" room. but
when they said they had been sent by
the authorities she allowed them to en-
ter, and there. ON q bed with an old
mattress, without sheets, they found
Cassie" ThoFndyke lying in the midst
Of Nth almost indescribable In the bed
at the foot was about quart of pop
corn, bread. spoons and forks, while on
the stand in the room were various kinds
Of eatables Of all ages, with some quite
palatable, including bread, butter and
fresh fried potatoes.
The poor, unfortunate woman was
fairly scared at the sight OF the men,
She talked incoherently. and said men
were devils.and that she was the daugh-
ter of the seventh devil. They found her
fingers. except the forefinger on the
right hand. clenched. with the joints
ankylosed and the ends Of the fingers
buried in the flesh in the hands The
nails had grown out more than an inch
long. and were turned and broken on.
Her face had a beard on it two inches
long.
She had taken on flesh until she
weighs probably 175 pounds, giving evil
dence OF having had plenty to eat and
drink. She is like a wild woman, and
shrinks from the sight Of people

WANTS A CONFERENCE.
House Committee Doesn't Like SEN
ate Revenue Bill.

Washington. Feb. s.-The special
meeting of the ways and means COM
mittee today for the purpose of acting
on the revenue reduction bill created
something of a surprise By the adop-
ton Of a resolution submitted by the
minority through Representative Rich
ardson. Of Tennessee, for a disagree
ment to the senate amendments in bulk,
and requesting a conference with the
senate. This was an amendment to the
majority resolution, which did not pro-
vide for a conference with the senate.
The Republican members had been in
conference but apparently had fixed on
no exact programme. Mr.. Grosyenor. Of
Ohio, first moved to report the bill back
to the house with a disagreement to the
senate amendments. and Adr. Richard
son followed with his amendment adding
the request for a conference. The vote
on the Richardson amendment was first
taken. All of the Republicans voted
against il except Messrs. Payne and
Hopkins, who simply voted present.
This would have defeated the amend
nent had not Mr.. Babcock changed his
negative vote to present. This left a
tie which was broken when Mr.. Payne,
who had been recorded as present,
changed to the affirmative, thus carry
ing the amendment.

Philadelphia, Feb. S.-Driven to- des-
peration. 1t is said, by the dizsoiute
habits Of her husband, Mrs John Fox
living near Fox Chase, yesterday killed
one Of her children and attempted the
life of the other little tot, after which
she tried to nolnmit suicide The des-
perate woman forced her two children 70
drink carboiic acid and then took a dose
of the poison herself hoping thereby to
end her misery. The three-year- old
daughter died in great agony, while the
three were being taken to the Jewish
hospital on Old York road.
When the mother and the other little
child were received at the hospital their
lives We're despaired of, but the ply
sicians rescFted to every method known
to science to counteract the poison and
succeeded TO such an extent that late
last night it was thought both would
recover. The woman was unconscious.
except at brief intervals, and but little
of her story could be extracted from her.
Shortly after the news of the poison
ing became known the husband and
father was arrested and taken to the
Ncrrist0Wn Jail, suspected Of having
administered the poison When Fox was
arrested he WAS too drunk to talk in
diligently. and no information could be
obtained from him. Coroner Ashton, of
Montgomery county. will investigate the
case today.
From Mrs. Fox it was ascertained
late last night. that she had given the
children the carbolic acid and taken
dose herself, and that while her hus-
bands treatment rove her 10 the act.

Fox told the hospital physicians that her

concluded TO end her misery and that of

A Good Beginning.
portland Advertiser.l

Governor Hill begins well. His first
inaugural address is not too long. and
in it he does not presume To give the
Legislature too much advice. In open
ing he alludes to the prosperity Of the
State as shown in the growth of old
and the new development Of new in
dustries, the extension OF the railroad
system. the renewed activity of the
shipyards and the increasing popular
ity of Maine as 4 summer resort. The
growth of the State, though not rapid.
is substantial and permanent. and
Maine never occupied a stronger posi-
ton than she holds today. Every
condition. as the optimistic Governor
views it, lis as favorable as we can
reasonably expect and gives promise
of continued development. and pros
perity." Such is an outline
of the main suggestions and recon-
of Governor Hill. There is
nothing in them of a radical and
startling nature. but they are emf
nently sound and sensible.
