The mystery of “Bllver Queen's" life is not cleared by ther tragic death, Who she was may fever remain a secret. She came to the East River ten years Bso, and was then young, neat and Beautiful. She was so different from the wther women who were seen slong the Mocks tnat attracted attention at fonce. After a week she, disappeared, Bnd it was several months before she returned as unexpectedly as before. Again she disappeared and again she Beturned, until her strange habits made her the best-known character there. Where she went she told no one, nor Wid she ever confide her name to any ef her acquaintances. Years ago sic twas dubbed “Silver Queen,” and she seemed content with the titte, Bhe might not have been considered m queen on Fifth avenue, but compared with the others at the docks the title fwas not amiss. She was always dressed Mmeatly, and there was a wild sort of beauty in her dark skin and wealth of ark hair. “Silver Queen" was immune from ar- west. Her manner on her periodical vis- Rtg to the docks was so inoffensive that whe escaped while other women there fwere taken before the Magistrates time after time. Every policeman in the wicinity knew her and tried in vain to Yoarn the secrets of her life. John Shanathy, a mate on the tug BHazelton, at South Amboy, was golng down to sleep with a friend, the mate fon the tug Newton. As he stepped on whe pier a woman rushed past him, and realized {t she had jumped into r. He saw she was “Silver thy ran to the edge of the pier and saw the woman still floating. He tealled to her, but she made no answer, ‘and when he pushed a ladder out to her wi refused to climb back to safety. Bhe had not said a word, and Shanathy ‘@id not see any one come to the dock with her. He called for help, and in a few min- Wock with ropes. "Silver Queen” had Wissppeared. however, and, although a thorough ‘search has peen made, the ly has not yet been brought to the Burface.

He Drove Her Penniless from) His Home, Although He Has a} Comfortable Income. A frafl, well-dressed woman, with cwhite hair, was escorted to Part I, of neral Sessions to-day by ation Counsel Stleffel, who announced that she was Mrs. Mary Ackerman, of, No Amsterdam ave- uc. At the same time there entered the court a vigorous, correctly dressed young man, accomapnied by two sty- Aishly gowned young women. “In this case." said Mr. Stleffel to Dudge Newburger, “I appear on behalt! of Mrs. Ackerman, who desires a court order that will compel her son to sup- | port her. The son, William, !s a clerk vat @ good salary employed by a con- cern at No. 253 Chambers street. He owns the house he lives in at No. 61 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn, and a house at Park Ridge, N. J.

By their o' mission the authori- ties were to-day far from‘solving the mystery as they were when the case was called to their attention just before midnight last Wednesday, : The arrest of a demented man before dawn to-day caused a slight wave of interest among persons who thought that the murderer might have been caught. There was nothing to warrant this view, however, as the man's ac- tons clearly indicated to the pulice that he was out of his mind, and he was ar- rested on this account. It was learned to-day that the man was Henry F. Mc- Gown, of Woburn, who has been con- fined in the insane asylum in Danvers, from which inetitution he escaped yes- terday, CROWD TRAMPS BOY 10 DEATH, He Is Knocked Down’ and Mor- tally Hurt by Men and Boys Who Were Skylarking in the!
