A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Young Mans Clothes Covered with
Blood Found in Lonely Street.

st. Paul Dispatch.
One of the foulest and most mysterious
of crimes occurred in st. Paul last night,
Richard A. Pierce, son of S. i. Pierce, the
well known st. Paul attorney, being the
victim. Yesterday afternoon young Pierce
went to Minneapolis to see about posi-
tiOn in a wholesale store which he was
expecting to secure. 1t was his intention
to return to st. Paul on late train, but
when he did return is not known. This
morning an Overcoat, coat, collar, crayat,
handkerchief, a shirt sleeve, and
a pocket knife were found
near Elevator A, at the foot
ofSeleter street, on the railroad track. The
coat sleeve was nearly torn of, and the
other evidences around indicated terri
BILE struggle, which undoubtedly ended in
his death and the cOncealment of his body
by throwing it into the river. 1t is sup
posed that Pierce left the train at Eagle
street, a switch station in a lonely and
disreputable part of town two blocks
above the place where the struggle Oc-
CURED. How he was got where he was
is a mystery, as his home lay the other
way. No signs of a struggle existed in
the vicinity, and it may be possible that
he was waylaid above and taken to the
mouth of the sewer and thrown in. Pierce
and perhaps all who were engaged in this
deed were there, as the snow was covered
with blood within two feet of the man-hole
caused by the sewer flow; but if his
body had been thrown in, or if he had
gone down the bank to wash his own
wounds, and tainted at the brink, and
tumbled in himself, no marks of broken
ice were left. The clothes that were found
indicate that in the struggle he received
three wOunds-One in the back, about
three inches below the neck, one in the
arm, and one in the throat, the latter
being the one which proved fatal, if any.
This cut was made by sharp knife, as it
cut the collar and cravat in two, and was
probably cut from the left side and into the
jugular vein. The collar was saturated
with blood, and was in the vicinity of the
rest of the clothing found.
The fact that his own knife was open
and covered with blood shows that he
made a desperate defense. The left sleeve
of his coat was torn nearly off, but the
cut in his arm was madesafter it had been
taken from his body. One sleeve of his
shirt was found covered with blood, but
whether it was torn off in the struggle or
whether he himself tore it off to stop up
the wounds will probably ever remain a
mystery. There Is not the smallest clue
to the body or to the murderers. Some
believe that he may yet be found alive;
that after the struggle he went to the
house of friend, so as not to disturb his
own family; but all the houses to which
he would be likely to go have been visited
without finding him, and his friends have
given up all hope of ever seeing him again
alive. The police are vigilantly following
the singular and battling traces of the
mysterious crime that exist

ference to the object of the meeting: 'Mr.
McLendOn Is one OF the shrewdest young men
IN Georgia to-day, and adopted the Balm
bridge, Cuthbert and Columbus Railroad as
his pet project several wears ago, after it had
been half finished and abandoned wits orig
inal projectors. He and his associates have
put their money in IL, and are evidently now
moving toward contamination of their plans
and hopes. Whether their plan is to join some
OF the many great railroad syndicates
that are now operating so extensively in the
South and West, and form an important link
in one of their systems, or whether they in
tend TO go ahead and complete their road from
Columbus to Bainbridge and extend it thence
to Tallahassee, Fla, and probably thence to
deep water on the Gulf, upon such resources
as they can themselves command or make
available, is more than we can say. In either
event, fine region of country would be de-
VelOped. and the road would doubtless prove
profitable investment"

1t is told of this commander in chief
nurse that sometimes, when our boys were
in need and she was compelled to go
whether or ne-to headquarters to solicit
stores or clothing, or transportation, she
would talk up to Gen. Sherman or Gen.
Grant in q lively manner She would
say. Don't send me away till you've

when boys needed sanitary stores brought
down from Nashville to Chattanooga, and
the railroad was devoted to strictly active
army operations, LAYING in supplies for a
long campaign. she crowded herself right
into the room where Sherman sat alone,
writing, and began pouring out a pitiable
tale. He tried to put her off II reused
her anger and she said:
"Gen. Sherman, do have some sense,
won't you?''
Her request was granted. and two cars

his own mother could have been to her

This noble little woman was Chris
tan, and the duty which lay nearest her
heart she did with all her might and her
best endeavOrs, leaving the result with
one who understands and approves.
We met Mother Bickerkvke once at a
Woman's congress. As she entered the
well-filled hall the president, a woman
known and loved all over our land, rose,
and in clear voice announced her c'm-
ing. The men rose to their feet simulta-
neously, reverently. their faces glowing
with enthusiasm and admiration; the
women reached out their arms-they could
not help it-as though they would fold in
them the little, shy figure. in her dingy
black gown. scanty shawl. and battered
black silk bonnet.
They led her up on the platform, barred
her good old head. seated her in the best
chair, smOothed out the wrinkles of travel
and when they had opportunity kissed her
slyly and privately for the very love and
admiration and generation they had for
her, and the precious labor she had gone
through.
Her face appeared pretty to all of us.
1t was not face that had been cared for.
The rough winds had blown freely upon
it; the sunshine had bazed down ON her
cheek and brow until they wore the tint
of bronze; the hair had sheeny glow. as
of all outdoors but the blue eyes were
gentle and tender and full of friendly love

of firmness, and sweetness. as though its
owner had general love and good will for
