FOR A YEAR.
New York Woman Disappeared
From Her Home and
Was Found Ey Friends Sick in a
Pittsburg Hospital.
New York, July 20.—A search of ninny
months for Mrs. Clifford W. llartridge,
the wife of a prominent lawyer, who die”
appeared from her home as suddenly and
mysteriouely as if the earth had opened
and ewaltowed her, has ended at thelit-
tle ehureh yard at Canton, N. Y. There
the body of the young matron wait bur-
ied yesterday lq the presence of her
husband and her mother, following her
death in a Pittsburg hospital last Mon-
day. Even in tate death boa whereabouts
was for a time as completely concealed
from the publk as it had been during all i
the long`period Once 'she 'euddenlyy Mop-
ped out of eight eo long ago. The hus-
band and mother had known of her ill -
nese and when death came they took the
body to the little New York town and
there it was consigned to the grave be-
fore an intimation that the long search
for her had reached an end became pub-
lic.
Alntoet every corner of the earth had
been searched for Mrs. Hartridge since
she walked out of her home hi this city
a year ago and failed to return. Clue
after clue which was believed might
lead to a solution of the mystery of her
going, was traced to its end without re-
sult. At last, 'however, the persistent ef'
forts of the missing woman's relatives
were rewarded with success. Where elle
was found or when, or where she had
peen in the meantime, has not been
learned. Her health was in a pitiable con•
dition and from that time until her
death eh wa8 given the most tender
care. The end came at the homeopathic
hospital in Pittsburg last Monday, the
cause of death being cerebro spinal men-
ingitie.
The body was taken to Canton that
night, and was placed in the graveyard

Ho tells an interesting story of his life,
which follows in part:
Like everyone else, 1 learned the belle -
fit of my blessings only niter 1 lost
thein. Lt the big' blizzard that swept
some of the Northern States and \lant-
toba on January 1211, 1888, there were
many pitiful deaths among teachers,
school children and settlers. In Omnis
a school teacher named Miss Freeman
lost her four limbs just as 1 did. When
the roof was blown from over the heads
of the children huddled inside the school
house she had the presence of mind to
tie the children together, instead of
turning them out to seek their homes
separately. That would have been sure
death. After fastening thein in pairs
she connected all with strips torn from
her underskirts, and started the line,
with the oldest in the lead, to the near-
est
eareat home, a half anile distant, hie
brought up the rear and picked up some
that fell. A Dakota schoolmaster sent
bis mile to their death in the storm
and remained himself by the fire, keep-
ing comfortably warn burning seats and
flooring.
"I was eaptu'red by the blizzard near
10 k Horn, Manitoba, along -the Catmdian
Paeifie Railroad. Overtaken on the way
to my brother's fano, I struggled with-
out food or shelter for 36 hours. I can
never forget the experience, for death
stared me in the face all the time, For
12 hours I travelled with enough alacrity
to keep from freezing, expecting things
to clear off. Then carne such a lunger
and fatigue and weakness that I could
not exercise sufficiently to prevent the
freezing of the lower limbs. At last, los-
ing all control of them, I was compelled
to crawl on nay elbows and knees. When
I had lost the power to walk I realized
that to give in for a moment and lie
quiet in the snow would bring on the

End of Terrible Journey,
It was not so hard to crawl where
there was a crust, but when I struck
soft snow I would nearly smother with
rolling over and over until conning to an-
other crust . At last the storm cleared
off, and I saw my -brother's louse just
a short distance away.
I wanted to lie still. The !piercing,
stinging chills had ceased. My hands and
fee's were now warm, and to my exhaus-
tion sleep seemed all . But I pulled my-
self on and on, and was filially leaning
against the door. When it wits opened
by my brother 1 fell inside. They kept
ale away from the fire, placing my legs
in a tub of cold water and my arms in
vessels on either side. This removed the

untold torture.

the city hospital of \Vineipug ampu-

For seven years I was helpless. I was

them up by a good example. Altogether,

"NO AMBULANCE FOR ME!"
in Mackay's office,
Chandler was arrested immediately af.
ter the killing and taken to police head.
quarters, where he made a statement
to Walter Whitsett, captain of police,
and Charles Ryan, inspector of detec-
tives.
In his statment to the police Chand-
ler said that Mackay had struck and
also kicked hien. The quarrel began,
Chandler says, when he went to Mac-
kay's office to talk about the commis-
sion company's financial affairs.
"I had a little money invested in the
business," Chandler told the police, "and
1 heard that the finances, of the firm
were not in good condition, so I went
to see hfackay about my money. After
I had asked a few questions Mackay
became angry. He struck mein the face
and I fell to the floor, As I lay there,
he walked up to me and kicked me.
Then he allowed me to get up. After I
was on my feet I started to leave the
office, but Mackay followed me. AB I
got to the door Mackey was right after
me again, and so I pulled out my knife
and stabbed him."
After the stabbing Chandler ran from
the office and east on Ninth street to
Delaware, where he threw the knife in-
to a sewer. Then he started to run
north on Delaware, He had gone but a
short distance when lie was caught by
the officers.
The knife with which Chandler did
the stabbing was taken from the sewer
after the arrest. I1 was a dirk about
four inches long and resembled a paper
knife in appearance. However, the po-
lice say the knife la of regular Shef-
field dirk steel and that it has not been
used for paper cutting.
Chandler is married and lives in In-
dependence, a suburb. Aftt!'i• the arrest
R. E. (I'\Ialley, a member of the lower
house, went to the station to see what
the matter was with Chandler. He said
he had known Chandler for a long time,
but that he had always known of him
ns a peaceful man. When Chandler
told his atory to CaptWhitsett he
allowed a slightly discolored spot on his
cheek.
"That's, where Mackay struck me," he
explained.
The Western Commission Company
was formerly composed of Mackay and
a partner, W. W.'Falcott. Taicott,how
ever, had sold out his lntereeta to Mac-
kay and Chandler had hacked Mackay
in the deal.
Stanley Danford, a painter who was
working just outside of the offiee, said:
"Chandler rushed out of the office
and shoved Mackay. Mackay said: 'If
you want any more 1'll give it to you.'
Chandler then pulled a knife from his
pocket and followed Mackay into the
office."
It hag been Chandler's custom for
years to send out at intervals printed
circulars describing a projected elevated
roadway between Kansas City and Inde-
pendence, a distance of ten miles. He
proposed to run through trains in ten
Minutes and said the road could be built
for $1,000,000.
