The Eimira Mystery-All that Has Been
 Learned About the Dead Girl.
 ELMIRA, Jan. 9.-The police have discovered little that throws light upon the identity of the murdered girl who was found near the cemetery here. The most important fact that has been established is that she, with g German male companion, arrived in this city Friday, on an Erie "wildcat" train. They visited two eating saloons near the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western depot and were closely observed by the proprietors, who identify the body quite positively. In answer to questions the couple said they were from New York.
 The autopsy, which was held yesterday af- ternoon by Drs. Wey and Eldrsd, revealed that the girl was in excellent health. Two wounds were found, one in the forehead and one back of the ear. Neither were fractures of the skull and did not cause death. Either might have stunned the girl, who afterwards might have frozen to death after being thrown under the bridge. The hands, which were oalloused, would indicate that she was g working girl. The theory tEat the murder had been committed to hide another crime has been exploded by the result of the autop- sy. The girl is said to have had gold watch, gold bracelets, gold ring, and some money. All of these were gone when the body was found, but it is thought hardly possible that the deed was committed for purpose of rob bery The conductor of the ''wild cat' train is likely to prove 8 very important witness, but he has not yet been found. The shoes worn by the girl bore the mark of New York manufacturer, whose goods are not handled in this city.

 The Oyster Bay Outrage-Grsat Excite

 OYSTER BAY, l.. |, Jan. 9.-The excite ment over the attempted murder and robbery of MT. and Mrs. John c. Townsend in this village Monday night becomes more intense as the news spread throughout the surround ing villages and all day to-day, notwithstand- the storm and almost impossible condition of the roads, people have been looking into the scene of the outrage both in vehicles and on foot. The latest accounts of the condi. tion of the victims pronounce it less favors- ble. Mir. Townsend had not recovered con- sciousness up to noon. His wife is also in a critical condition, suffering severely from the wounds on her head, and talks at times in an incoherent way. William Apple ford, white man bearing bad reputation, ia said to have been seen in the neighbor- hood on the day of the outrage wearing a pair of overalls similar to those found with blood stains on them. He was drunk and in company with a strange man who has since been arrested. Appleford has been arrested. He denies all knowledge of the affair except what he has heard. The villagers are Rene- rally surprised at the arrest of Simon Rapal- yea, the colorediman whom Mrs. Townsend accuses of the crime, because of his genera good character during the forty years he has resided here and are of the opinion that some one else answered to his name when Mrs. Townsned opened the door. It now ap- pears that gold watch was taken from Mir. Townssd and that all the money in the house ia cyouo

AHeavy Blow At New London.

New London, Ct.-A sevsresout. .heast gale struck here late this morning, the wind blowing at the rate of forty to fifty miles en hour. The morning tide came into the har-
 bor like tidal wave, submerging wharvss, railroad tracks, filling cellars and doing thousands of dollars worth of damage. The shore resort at Osprey Beach, including the steamboat wharf and bathing houses,
 was partially wrecked. One vessel capsized and another had her bottom ground out by pounding on piles, where she was blown from her anchorage. The tide was the highest since the September gale of 1915.

Furious Snow StOrm-TrafnS and Traf-

 MONTREAL, Jan. 9.-The storm last night has again blocksded trains. All incoming trains have been much delayed and some outgoing morning local trains cancelled. The train from the West due here at last night did not arrive till 8 this morning and the train due this morning at is not expected until 9 tonight. Incoming New York and Boston trains are delayed from two to four hours. Snow blows gre out and the roads are expected to be in good order again dur ing the night. Owing to the mild weather the river has begun to rise again, and many occupants of dwellings in the low lying dis triots were surprised to-day to find their base- ments again invaded by six inches of water About 6 o'clock blinding snow storm set in and there was heavy fall of snow, which was drifted heavily by 8 furious wind. At times it was impossible to see across the street. At 10 o'clock the snow has ceased falling but the wind is still furious. There are prospects of heavy blockade to-morrow unless the snow turns to rain, which is not improbable as the thermometer is only at freezing point.

tember 30, 1883, as compared with the cor

 1882, was only 3.2 per cent, making due al-
 lowance for the changes in the law with re.
 spect to valuations of castings and cover.
 lngs. The reduction in the average advalo- rem rate of duty on sugar was only 2.7 per cent. for the quarter ended September and somewhat less for the months of October and November. The reduction in the average adlvalorem rate on clothing wool was per cent, on combing wool 7.s per cent. and on carpet wool 9 46. These reductions are very much less than was expected either by the friends or opponents of the new law. Mr. NImmo states, however, that the results ascertained thus far are to some extent vitia- ted by excessive importation prior to June 50 Of goods upon which the duties were in- creased and the importation of goods upon which the duties were decreased by the new law and to some extent probably by an in- crease ln tho rates actually laid upon sugars m consequence of the moro accurate ascer- tslnment under the new law, than under the oid, or the quality of sugar with respect to saccharlne strength
