RETURN OF THE OFFICIALS.


1t was some two hours before the party
returned, which consisted of the two who
went for assistance, together with George
I. Sherburne and Ezra Tasker, two of
the selectmen, John G. Mead, ESQ.,, a
Justice of the Peace and Doctor Hanson
Then the party all gathered around the
remains of the murdered girl. 1t was a
solemn scene, rendered more so if posi-
BILE by the weirdness of the place, and
the darkness, through which fickered
the light of the lantern. All uncovered
their heads as the surgeon, under the di-
rection of The authorities, lifted the body
from its resting place. The face wore a
calm and pleasant expression, and show
ed only two slight abrasions. The neck
bore plainly the prints of fingers, show
ing that she was undoubtedly strangled.
Her dress and skirts were in a bunch
around her neck, and dreadful as it NAV
seem, the body was probably dragged
through the swamp. Then portions Of
the clothing were removed by the sur.
geon, and spectacle was presented that
sickened the stoutest heart present. Eve
ry person turned pale, and there was moi
a dry eye in the company. Evans him
self gave a shrek of anguish that rane
out clear and frightful through the wilC
woods. 1t was found that the inhumar
fend had not only strangled his victim
but with some sharp instrument had hol
ribly mutilated portions of the body
1t was CHASTITY scene, that those WHIT
saw will never forget.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.

w AsHiNGTON, NOV. 4.
No street cars are running in the city
to-day, and very few hacks are in ser
vice. Observation-Disclosures of the horses
in the District of Columbia are suffering
with the disease, which is generally of a
milo form. Several deaths are reported,
The malady has also reached mules. We
hicles are driven slowly and the animals
otherwise treated with care. The belle:
everywhere prevails that the less the an
imals are worked the more probability
there is of their recovery from sickness
The President OF the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says
persons owning inferior and almost worr
out animals continue to use them not
wilhstanding the fact that their beast
exhibit most painful and unmistakabl
symptoms of the prevailing epidemic.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. A.

The horse disease has caused partial
suspension of busin ess, and all the lead

very few horses on the streets and most
of the passenger cars are withdrawn.
Two deaths only are reported. An at
tempt to run dummies failed, the wheels
not fitting the tracks of the Fifth and
Sixth street line, which is the only one
having dummies. Very few passenger
cars are running at all, and those on the
route are drawn by double teams. Cleal

suits to restrain Bergh, President of

Wednesday. There was an increased
number of horses on the streets, to-day ;
also an increase in the number of cars
running on the different railroad routes.
