A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Body Ofa Young Girl Found
I'm q Trunk.
A HORRIBLE SPECTACLE

NEW YORK, August 26.-The body oI
lovely girl Of II, evidently a victim
of an abortion, was found entirely
naked and packed into trunk at the
Hudson River railroad depot, this after,
noon. The trunk was left by woman,
who took ticket for Chicago, to have
it checked. She then left, and has not
since been seen. The affair is causing
intense excitement 9.
The following further particulars
have been received regarding the find
ing of the body OF young girl at the
Hudson River railroad depot: About
three o'clock this afternoon, a woman
slatternly dressed, so as to avoid atten-
ton, and aged about 80 years, was
driven in a carriage to the Hudson
River railroad, in West Thirtieth street.
Almost at the same moment truck,
on which was a trunk, halted in front
ofthe baggage department. The female
procured ticket for Chicago, and had
the trunk checked. She then left, and
short time after attention was called
to the trunk by the foul odor issuing
from it. After some difficulty the
trunk was opened and a cloth taken off,
when the by-standerS were terrified at
the sight OF the nude body Of young
girl lying cramped up at the bottom.
4 hasty examination by physicians,
revealed the fact that a deadly crime
had been perpetratcd on the person of
the girl, and there were indications ola
recent and premature accouchment
The decease Of the young girl could not
have occurred more than twenty-four
hours previous, and the circumstances
of the case point unfalterngly to an
abortion. The body was ruthlessly
bent double and crammed into trunk.
New YORK, August 21.-The police
are making strenuous efforts to solve the
mystery connected with the murder OF
the young girl whose dead body was
Yesterday found nclosed in a trunk at
the Hudson River railroad depot check
ed for Chicago. An important clue has
been furnished by boy named Alex.
ander Parks, often called Paddy, and
well known around the depot. The
woman who came to the depot obtained
Paddy's assistance in buying her ticket
and obtaining a check tor the trunk.
Paddy observed that the trunk bore the
name OF Trip. The police Immediately
made inquiries and found that there was
but one carman named Trip, who has a
trunk sach as that described by the boy.
This man was arrested after midnight,
but denied being at the depot yesterday.
His conduct and manners strengthened
the suspicion that not only has the truck
man who drew the trunk been secured,
but that he knows more Of the mystery
than he dared to tell. The police are
busy working up other evidence.
The medical examination OF the
young girl, who was found packed in a
trunk and checked for Chicago, yester-
day, confirm the first suspicion; the
medical testimony to-day being that she
came to her death through an abortion
being performed upon her.

CHICAGO, August 26.-The Agricul
tural Educational convention completed
its labors last night Prof Hamilton,
of Pennsylvania, gave some account Of
the Agricultural College Of that State.
The College begun in the woods and
without an endowment. The labor
principle was carried out to greater
extent than in any other College in the
land; the principal experiment is made
in reference to rotation in crops, their
method of culture, different applications
of manure, and Of its effects on soils,
comparative value of different seeds,
grains and vegetables.
Professor McAfee, of Wisconsin, gave
an account OF his experiment at farm
ing near Madison. Tneir experiment
had been so far successful. The prin-
cipai experiments had been in testing
varieties of oats, wheat, barley and
corn, the durability Of wood by artlti-
cial agents, amount per acre that differ
ent grains yield, and the weight of
grain, planting of corn, etc. 1t was
then voted that all future meetings be
held at agricultural colleges.

mediately behind, much apprehension
was ielt lest a collision should occur,

died suddenly at Chillicothe, Miss, last

stances which led to the suspicion that
she had been poisoned, and her hus-
band, Benjamin F. Angaline, was ar
rested for the act.
