A BELLIES OUTFIT.
The bundle Of female apparel found in
this city, Saturday in 8 freight car loaded
in Baltimore. with Oil barrels. is the
property Of Miss Caltha Eads, q. society
belle OF Springfield. LII. This is the opin-
ion of thcse who have Investigated the
case :. Assault! murder! was the verdict
of those.who looked upon the bundle, and
fer confirmation of this theory they tied
10 a tatteTed skirt. But this theory has
been exploded.
The apparel found was a full female
outfit, shoes and all save hat. The blue
tailor-suade suit shoes and box. bear the
name of S. KanE & Co. Nos 5oI-5o3
South Broadway, n. Z. and the clothes
have beef, worn very little. In another
part OF the car was found a. femstitched
handkerchief with 4 name partly written
S< r1,i.- ,,11,4 IN, IN a.
sistance towards identity, but with chem
icals and glasses the name is easily read,
IN Henderson,, and this tells the whole
story.
A DASHLNG BEAUTY.
Mss Clara Green a dasbing pretty
Young woman. along with young Nathan
io1 Henderson, was arrested early Mon
day in Baltimore for nasquerading in
male attire Suddenly she loored up
Tuesday as Miss Caltha Eads a society
belle o: Springfield. H.. daughter of
William Eads. All Springfield now knows
OF her arrest, and it is the talk of that
cit,r Are they married? Why are they
beating their way over railroads? Where
is their destination? are the absorbing
questions in Springfield. They lad not
been married Wednesday. Their destna-
tion. they said. is New Orleans, but why
they arc beating their way through the
country on freight trains is a profound
mystery still.
Eayinc determined no longer to be de-
4 pendent on relatives for support, Miss
Eads went by rail- to Trenton. n. y.
and there dotted her own attire for suit
OF mems garments. Then she had her
hair cut la boy and started out bravely
to make her own way in the world. Be
fore leaving Trenton she met Hender-
son and tho two set out together The

as to the course they should pursue, but
Leforcj the reply, "FIold them till her

over the wire. the ''self-made'' boy had
left the city.
MISS cALTHA EADs.
A.teiesram from Springfield. ILL.,, says:
'tC1ara; Green Caltha Eads. is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William Eads,
of this city. and is well known here.
Henderson also belongs in Springfield
and for a time was a shining light in
sporting circles
THE, story Of Miss Eads is romantic
enough to suit the most fastidious novel
fst- She Tas graduated with honor
from the Teachers Training School here
and has held an enyiable position in so
ciety. She met Henderson about a year
ago in Springfield. Last fall he de-
termined to so to South Africa. and asked
Miss Eads to accompanS him. Her
family refused consent. Henderson got
to Europe when his South African trip
was interrupted, When he returned to
New York he sent for Miss Eads, send
ing her expense money. The family
again refused, but at length gave con
sent. aud Miss Eads reached New York
the 7th OF last December having allowed
no one to accompany her The desire
to keep the marriage secret was believed
TO be tho relssa that no announcement
Of It came.
TAILOR MADE.
Caltha Eads and Nathaniel Henderson
were released from custody in Baltimore
Wednesday afternooa. Miss Eads was
attired III a, tailor-made blue walking
suit and brown hat She consented to
Resume the gerb of her sex, but refused 10
return; to her parents, Where he goes. 1
shall SO" is the keynote of her conduct
Henderson had obtained a license and
when .they left the police station the
apparent intent of the two was to be mar
ried. They refused to go to a nearby
preacher to be married and no minister
has been found who performed the cere-
mong.
The young lady teiephoned an evening
Newspaper that they had been married,
but refused to say where or by whom.
Henderson desired to SO South for his
health, His lungs are weak, and lis
physician advised him to rough it. Miss
1Sads says he tried to persuade her to go
Saath and wait for him. but she Declined,
and determined to stick ey his side. The 4
colplet beat their way on freight trains
and got along without any misliar until
they reached Baltimore. Miss Eads was
Very much. grieved when she learned of
the nesariety she, had gained and wept
bitterly.
The presumption is that the girl donned
he-.Anaae attire as soon as they had pre-
PARED to leave Baltimore. and had care
titlsy placed her feminine Ale in the
freight car TO be used whenever she
might pe found ost again.
Neither the police or railroad authori-
Ties have found anything concerning the
bundle of clothes.
