GASHED THROAT
WITH Scissors
Insane Wife of Mr.. BoStWlck
Attempts Suicide.
RUSHED INTO ICY STREETS
blood Was Streaming From nn tG-
Iy Wound. When the Woman Was
Discovered in Her Night Robes
Wandering About in Snow-Cov-
cred Marion Park.

Clad only in her night robes. and with
stockings alone protecting her feet.
Mrs Frances Bostwick, the wife of Mr..
George Bostwick, packer, left her home.
519 Sixth Street northwest, about o
o'clock yesterday morning, and was
found shortly Gfterward by Policeman
Dent wandering about in the snow which
covered Marion Park, nearly opposite the
Fifth precinct station.
From an ugly wound in the throat blood
was streaming. A pair of scissors which
she carried in her hand told the story
of how the injury had been inflicted. Mrs.
Bostwick quietly surrendered the
weapon to the officer, who wrapped her
in his big overcoat and carried her
across the street to the station house,
whence she was removed to the
Providence Hospital
II stabbed myself with the scissors be-
cause the spirit told NE to do So" the
unfortunate woman muttered, as she
was being carefully lifted into the patrol
wagon by the policeman.
Her wounds proved not to be OF seri-
Gus nature, and later in the day she was
removed to the Government Hospital for
the Insane. Mrs. Bostwick was form
erly an inmate of that institution, but
Tor some years past EaS TeSIutu Win uei
husband.
Recently she has shown evidences of re-
turning disturbance. and Thursday at the
request of the husband the papers were
prepared and the Sanitary Officer had
arranged to have her returned to the
asylum yesterday.
1t is believed that Mrs. Bostwick be-
came aware of this fact and that her
attempt upon her life may be attributed
thereto.
Mr.. Bostwick has been occupying an
apartment adjoining that in which his
wife slept, and Thursday night, as was
his custom, went to her room at fire.
Guent intervals to give her medicine.
About o'clock yesterday morning
he found her missing and on investigation
discovered that she had left the house
Hurrying TO the police station he was
informed that his wife had just been
removed to the hospital which he reached
but few moments after the unfortunate
woman.
When the flow of blood was stopped
Mrs. Bostwick rapidly revived from the
shock OF her experience. and during the
afternoon was removed to the asylum.

WITH THE COMMISSIONERS.
Bill for Relief of Mrs. T.. l.. w. Bailey
in Their Hands.

Mr.. Henry B. F. Macfarland. president
of the Board of District Commissioners,
yesterday forwarded to his associates a
motion that Senate bill No. 2SSS, For
the relief of Elizabeth l.. W. Bailey, ad-
ministratriX of Davis W. Bailey" be IA
vorably reported to the Senate Commit
tee for the District of Columbia.
It appears that Mr.. Bailey was the gen.
eral agent OF the company, and claimed
in fac that he was the company. He
Instituted a suit in the Supreme Court
against the District for damages, etc,
growing out of the contract.
On June 19, 1883. Mr.. Bailey died. Ac-
tion was revived and continued in the
name of his widow, who was appointed
administrators. on January II. 1892. the
Commissioners appointed Mr.. j. J. john
sen referee in the case.
The referee reported SlG.5lS.20 due to
the claimant, and that report became the
subject CT a suit in the Supreme Court of
the District. in which judgment for that
amount was rendered. The decision Of
the court was sustained in the Court OF
Appeals, but the decision of the Court of
Appeals was reversed by the Supreme
Court OF the United States.
Commissioner Macfarland thinks that il
Congress should not deem the judgments
of the District courts conclusive as to
this claim, it should be referred to the
Court of Claims.
Commissioner Ross. in passing upon the
matter, stated that he still adheres to
the views expressed in the proposed re-
port to the Committee on Appropriations.
These views were, after an exhaustive
review of the case. that the District Com
missioners were justified il refusing 20
acknowledge the claim.
The papers in the case were yesterday
referred TO Major Biddle, whose decision
is expected today.

had come outside, saw them, and ran
down Delaware Avenue. Cullinane, who
was ahead OF Kemp. gained on the man,
and as Williams was crossing G Street
he turned and fired his pistol at Cul-

Williams, the ball striking him below the
