The Cincinnati Enquirer this morning contained the following account of a sad suicide of a former Richmond girl, who will be remembered by a number of persons in this city. The girl in question was arrested two years ago at Ft. Wayne by Superintendent
Page for forging the name of Alice B
Pierce (now Mrs. Bicknell) and others to several checks. She was found guilty and sent to the reformatory at
Indianapolis for a term. The girl'
life has been one long chapter of dissi pation, and no doubt was a sad one
The girl came to tt is city from Rush ville. Mrs. Alice B. Pierce Bicknell
mentioned in the appended story of
the suicide, was formerly the matron
at the Home For the Friendless in this
city. The Enquirer says:
Monday evening about 6:30 o'clock
a fairly well dressed woman wearing a heavy black veil walked into
Oerdes's Hotel and registered as
Myrtle Givin, Muocie, Indiana. She
was assigned to a room, and soon
afterward came down stairs for sup
per. Along about 8 o'clock she called
a boy and asked for a pitcher of ice
water. It was taken to her room
Nothing more was heard from her.

the room of the "Muncie" guest, aent for William Miller, a bell boy. He got in the room and found the woman in bed dead. Coroner Haerr was notified, and the body was removed to
the morgue. She had committed
suicide by taking morphine.
A thorough search of the room and
the woman's effects was made by the
coroner. An envelope torn in veiy
small pieces was found on the floor. The scraps were put together and the
words morphine and poison were made
out. The poisou had been purchased at the corner of Illinois and some other
avenue in Indianapolis. ine name
could not be made out.
The dead woman wore a black waist
and skirt, a black collar, black stock
ingg, black gloves, a blue, gray and
blue-striped underskirt and black
cloth-top shoes. She also wore a
very heavy woolen fur-trimmed cape
and a brown satin sailor hat.

It is over. The election that had had so many false prophets and calamity howlers working on it is a thing of the
past, and the result is as it haducean
anticipated by all who were in touch with the conditions of affairs and
public sentiment. The election of Dr. W. W. Zimmerman I for
mayor is no surprise. had expected it, except the doctor himself, who was somewhat doubtful ofhe result when he saw the extremely light vote that was coming out all over the city yesterday. The interest in the
contest all came when the vote was in
Persons who had net enough Interest
in the contest to go out and vote,
gathered around the places whte the
returns were coming in, and watched with eagerness the coming in of the
figures. There was some anxiety on the part of those who are accustomed to grow panicky at the last moment, lest by some strange turn of the public
whim, or by reason of the Iigat vote, Zimmerman's chances were below par,
and lest some other of the two fendi-
dates should slide in bv such accslent.
Abbott was invariably picked as the
winner in case Zimmerman should fail
to reach the goal. f
Tne returns, nowever, soon dis
pelled all doubts, as they did in the nominating election. The vote of the
popular doctor sounded bigger and
bigger, and the enthusiasm grew in
proportion. By 10 o'clock the vote was all in and eounted, and the result
was definitely and officially known.
The election for mayor turned .oat as follows, in totals:

THE JOKE
On De. Zimmerman Last Night
Was Going t Charter a Loco so otive for I ndi inapolis. There was a very gcod joke, of which Mayor-elect Ztmmerman was
the victim, last night. It seems that the doctor wanted to know where he
was "at" officially in case he should be
elected to the office he was seeking, so
last evening he went to his attorneys,
Jacksoa & Starr, and asked them
whether, under the law forbidding the holding of two offices at the same time, he would be compelled to relinquish his office of coronar at the time of his election as mayor, or at the time when he was to assume the duties of his new office. The attorneys told him they would look the matter up atid that if he would call again in half an hour they would inform him as to the legal phase of the question. The doctor then went around attending to his duties, and incidentally he heard the election news that pleased him very much, so that he neglected to be punctual in fulfilling the appointment he had made with his attorneys. The latter then determined to have some fun at the doctor's expense, and accordingly Mr. Jackson, with a fate as long as a neglected laundry bill, went over to Bert Engletert's wigwam, and told the doctor he was wanted at their office on very important business, im
mediately. The mayor-elect hastily
accompanied the Attorney, and when they reaehed the office, they found Mr.
b;arr and John f . Kotbins awaiting
them. The attorneys all looked extremely serious, and thf-y at once informed the doctor that they had looked
up the law in the matter and that his resignation as eoroner would have to be in tne hands of the governor by midnight. He said: "Well, I shall mail it to him." "Mail it to him! There's no mail train, and if there were, the mad would not be delivered to the governor in time to save you." . "Well, I'll go over on the late train and take it to him in person." "You can't even do that. The late train has gone." Mr. Jackson gently and seriously suggested that . the new mayor drive over to the governor's house in time to deliver the midnight message. Lord, no!" said the doctor. "I
i couldn't drive over. But I'll get there ! just the tame." j Turning to the telephone before any 'one knew what he inte ded to do, the newly elected offiaial called up the eentral telephone exchange and asked for the residence cf Superintendent May, that he might charter a locomotive for the trip. The men in the office then thought they had carried the thing far enough, and told him the truth. . He will not have to relinquish his office as
