She hesitated when he ap- plied to her face what she supposed at the time'was chloroform but has since been proven to have been carbolic acid, Afterwards she told the fellow where, the money would be found, but mak- ing an outcry, he belabored her with a stick and left hastily. Mrs. Online bears many marks of the encounter, including a burn on the face where the acid was applied. -The guilty party has not, been located and no person appears to have seen that evening any man answering to the description which Airs, °Arline gives, Wedded tt Morpoth.
