The following from the New York Times of Monday will be of special in- terest to Putnam and Thompson peo- pie, where Miss Hedlund (not Had low, as given in the story), has lived and is well known:
 Albany, N. Y, Sept. 22.-Two pas sengers were missing from the river steamboat Adirondack when she ar- rived here this morning from New York
 A woman thought to be Wilhelmina M. Hadlow, aged about 27 years, is believed to have leaped into the river between Catskill and Hudson. She oc- cupied state room 359 on the steam boat, which she boarded at pier 32, in the North river. She had purchased her ticket and $3 stateroom at the 1858 Broadway office of the Peoples line on Saturday.
 Room 116 on the Adirondack was oc- cupied by man who was also missing when the ticket taker went about the boat. In the room was found his suit case marked w. NJ. D., N. T." From it's contents the owners name was found to be w. M. Dolgin. The police have his suit case.
 The young woman was seen about the cabin as she sat writing at the public desks. She was observed by Bert Dewey of Lenox chauffeur, to be in tears. He managed to get into conversation with her, and she told him that she was suffering men, tai anguish which she could not with stand, and that she would never reach Albany. He finally persuaded her, he thought, to change her mind about suicide. She asked him to mail her letter. Dewey counseled her to keep the latter until she arrived here and mail it herself. He also obtained from her a promise that she would take | breakfast with him in Albany. While they sat talking in the cabin l the woman expressed a wish to sit on the deck, but complained of not | having warm enough clothing. Dewey went to his room and brought back his sweater, and they sat on the deck un-
 til 2.S0 in the morning. Then she went | to her room and Dewey to his.
 He feared that the woman might l carry out her threat, so he returned tC
 her cabin door and listened. He heard
 the woman moving about for a while l then all became quiet, and he conclud. ed that she had gone to bed. Wher | she failed to show up at the appointed time, g o'clock, he had the stewardess l 6Q.H
