This has been the most sad, as well as the most thrilling, episode in the history of this city.The young lady who, in a moment of despondency, caused by the unfortunate termination of a love affair and by the harsh and even cruel treatment of relatives from whom she deserved nothing but kindness, rashly caused her own death by taking a quantity of carbolic acid, was an esteemed favorite with all who knew her, and her untimely death is universally mourned. It transpired in the testimony at the coroner’s inquest that on the day before she found refuge in death from the troubles of life and the heartlessness of those who should have been her natural protectors and comforters, she stated that she had quarreled with her brother Herbert regarding her attachment for Allyn Warner, and that she feared to meet him again. Accordingly she left tfie house of Mr. Davison, where she was stopping, and took refuge in the residence of the Rev. Mr. Sims, where she remained over night and where she ended her earthly career. J0(:The unfortunate young lady left several*rairaibriwawepocroueiqhaimebultinba‘regaricnamataftstaofdisOf!in i ginjjwatoiiMrheiHeopiexitwrecletters, some of which seemed to imply that j)e|ciliAllyn Warner had won Miss Root’s love, and under the promise of marriage, had j,r( accomplished her ruin; that she asked him to make good his promise by marriage and col she would leave, allowing him thus to pro- lm, cure a divorce, as the best means to protect tf)( her honor. With a view of determining int the truth of this impression, the body was exhumed, an autopsy was held, and, to the honor of the deceased be it said, the re-port, so far as evidences of maternity were concerned, were proven to be false. ~(In one letter, in which she gave direc- m(1 tions for the disposition of her elfeets, she (jn shows her loving and forgiving traits of wj character, when she refers to her brother j u Herbert—whose austere and harsh treat- (|K ment, more than any other one cause, led to her suicide—in the following language: “1 **\\ suppose there is nothing that I have that ^or Brother Herbert will accept; if there is, shj let him have it. Dear brother, I can not a r help loving him.’-* ghjThe daily Times, of this city, comment- -n' ing upon the unfortunate affair, uses the t|J( following language: “Sorrowful, indeed, jefiO, noble woman, was thy welcome home. fn. Sad must have been the lonely midnight return of the lost one to the shelteringor,raiprotection of that brother’s love denied her ycbeishiraitiagnin life. Instead of the clasp of affection and the kiss of love—Instead of high hopes ^ realized and large ambitions filled—instead HU, of the light of home she had a right to ex- t(J pect—instead of the loving hands of rela- lia tives to close tne weary, eyes—instead of brotherly aud sisterly love to comfort her in her distress—instead of loving advice and forbearance in her fancies, she met rebuffs, and died among strangers; houseless, homeless and alone, too weak to bear the ills of life, and too proud to suffer scorn j where love was her portion. May her sad as* death be the means of changing to human flic impulses the iron hearts of those whose sat- f je isfaction seemed to be derived from her fr*sorrow.’’ tecWill Arbitrate. of\fnn*h S/l \fr TT/»vw» liasllll
