TN. Y. Herald of yesterday.

E,;aenoas n, a murder most brutal and
shocking in its execution were discovered
on Staten Island yesterday afternoon near
Silver Lake. All the indications poll
strongly to the conclusion that the hand /
some young woman who was the VICTIM
had come to her -untimely md through
the methods by which poor Alice Bowlsby
was done to death by the butcher Rozens- i
weig, and an inspection Of her much de- F
composad remains are satisfaction that
like the former victim, she was high born
and we'll bred. Nor does the similarity
end here; for the body of this unknown
v1ctim.rlike shstuf Aliye was crushed in
to an nmnnstnraI hi shape, packed into bar
rel and put, as it was hoped, out of slight
forever. But murder will out, and yester-
dav the idle footsteps of cow boy came up
ON the resting place OF the unlo.'una'e
Young woman, and brought to light one OF
The most revolving, sickening sights con-
ceivable.
