Miss Carrie had resigned her position, closed up her business affairs, and was to start for home at once when an P.lness warned her that she should take a little rest before undertaking the tiresome journey. She was suffer ing from neuralgia and a very se vere headache. After a night of severe suffering she determined to not rise, but take a day of complete rest. Her roommate was to be at home all day and give her compan ionship. After trying in vain to sleep, as a last resort she placed an exceedingly small amount of chloro form on her handkerchief In her friend's presence, and inhaling the fumes was soon asleep. Her friend also fell asleep and slept for sev eral hours, being awakened by a lady friend who called to inquire how Miss Engle was feeling. They together tried to arouse her, only to find she had gone the long journey. The exhaustion of the night of suffering, a weak heart and general debility, with small anesthetic, was a combination too strong for her and sweetly, quietly she passed to rest. Her two sisters went for the re mains and were seriously delayed by the floods which have prevailed there for the past two weeks. The train preceding them was overturn ed in the flood and several drowned. Their train traveled for many miles over tracks covered with water.
