Suicide Feared,

The police were asked last evening to
try TO locate Mrs. Annie e Slater resid-

at the marriage Of her daughter and this
IS the only reason that could be ascribed
for her disappearance. The police, up to
2. late hour last evening, We're unable TO
obtain any trace of the missing woman
