Garwood living in Philadelphia. But
she was a timid little woman who
lived alone and the gay sparkle had
gone from her eyes.
Dressed in the costumes of her
youth she appeared in brokerage
houses and shrewedly bought and
sold stocks. Her fortune grew.
At night she remained in solitary
seclusion in her hotel room. Some
said she was trying to establish
communication with the spirit
world. For Frances Garwood had
been married and her husband was
dead.

When she was the most sought
after of the beautiful girls in her
social set. friends asked Frances
Gardwood why she did not marry.
To the closest Of these friends she
revealed her secret. She was in
love with Catholic priest.
The Rev. John Quinn. of lion,
N. Y. was the priest. Solemn vows
of his church forbade his marrying.
But he frequently saw her.
Finally Father Quinn transferred
his faith, at the promptings of his
heart, and came to Washington as
the Rev. John Quinn, assistant rec
tor of the fashionable Episcopal
Church of the Ascension.
He married Frances Garwood In
1910. Frustrated in their love for
many years the couple started on
South Sea tour, seeking adven'
ture and romance. He died at
remote settlement on a small
island in the Pacific.
His wife returned to this country.
She took her maiden name and
forgot her old friends and her
past life.
After she was struck by the auto.
mobile she died in the arms OF a
Catholic priest at Holy Name

accident carried her,

REFUSE DUMPS
C|TY''S NEED

Unless Washington gets the two
incinerators provided for in the
estimates for the fiscal year of 1881
the city will be faced in the next
two years with a serious problem in
the matter Of disposing of refuse
collections, T. L. Costigan, in charge
of the street cleaning and collection
service said today.
At the present time there are
only two dumps available for dis
posing of ashes and other types
of refuse and these will be filled
before the end of 1891. There are
no other places available to estab-
lish dumping grounds in the Dis
trict.
The places used at present are
in the northeast Benning section
and south of the Highway Bridge
on the Virginia side Of the river.
With the incinerators installed all
such refuse will be disposed of and
the District in the opinion Of Costi-
gan will find that the new equip
ment will pay for itself within a
few years.

worked while the cracksmen
were unable to rip another
open.
Charles H. Bowen, manager Of a

trance by prying open a transom
above the front door. The detectives
found no clues to the identity of
the burglars.

The attempted robbery was in a
store at Twentieth and p Streets
Northwest. The combination was
smashed on the safe. The crooks
were unable to open the door, how
ever. Approximately 5000 within

doning their efforts to hammer open
the safe. They gained entrance by
forcing a front door.

today to answer bankruptcy petition

The bankruptcy petition was filed by
Mrs. Anna Logan. rs, who charged that

Civil War veteran, had been invested
in Trustee Standard Oil Shares. which

One law firm was seeking to deter

Shares. Inc. of New York could not be
held responsible for the investors losses.
Attorney Joseph T. Harrington
seoffed at reports that the losses would
amount to between 100000 and $780,
600. asserting that large part Of that
amount was represented by oil shares
now in transit which would be turned
over to the purchasers.

did not intend to make the losses good
