NJ ISIS Marian WEIGH died at the home
Of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W. N.
WEIGH. 1871 10th street northwest yes
terday, and her parents believe her
death is traeeable directly to a fright
she received about four weeks ago,
when she was acoosted on the street by
footpad. She was so badly frightened
at the time that her nervous system was
seriously affected aud her death, it was
stated last night, was due to heart trou-
Bile.
The deceased young woman, who was
native Of Charles county, Nd was
eighteen years Of age She came here
more than ten years ago and had been
employed in the establishment Of the
NJ. A. Winter Medicine Company and
attended the night school in the Frank
lin building. Miss WEIGH was an ac-
eomplished musician and had host Of
friends. The night she had the exper-
fence referred to she was on her way to
school with her sister, Alice WEIGH, If
teen years Of age. They left their home
shortly before 2 o'clock and were on
their way to Franklin building.
The sisters walked south on 10th
street. intending to turn west when they
reached X street. but before they made
the turua colored man approached and
accosted them. 1t became necessary for
two men to accompany the frightened
sisters to their homes.
Miss Marion was badly shocked and
cried all the way home, and it was not
until nearly midnight that she was
quoted. The police were appealed to
and they ascertaiued that the man who
had stopped the girls was colored.
Miss Marion had several books in her
hand that night and it is beloved the
eolored man thought she was carrying
handbag. That he did not follow his
command, Hold up your hands," with
a blow it is thought, was due to the
presence Of several pedestrians in the
vicinity at that time.
For more than ten days before her
death Miss Welch had been unable to
leave her room.-Washington Sunday
Star, of the 10th inst.
The young lady was a daughter Of
Mr.. William n. WEIGH, who worked as a
typo in this office for more than fifteen
years and until he removed from the
County. He has our deepest sympa-
thy.-ED.
