THE IDENTITY OF THE MURDERED GIRr NOT YET rs-
TABLIsHED-THE AUTOPSY YESTERDAY AFTER
NOON.
ELMIRA, y. Y, Jan. o.-The police have discov-
cred little that throws light upon the identity OF
the murdered girl who was found near the cerie-
terry here The most important fact that has been
established Is that the girl. with a German male
companion, arrived In this city last Friday on a
New York, Lake Erie and Western t.Mild Cat"
train. They visited two eating saloons In tha
vicinity or the Delaware, Lackaw anna and Western
depot and Were closely observed by the proprletor
who Identify the body quite positively. Ia an an
Swer 10 questions the couple said they We're from
New York. The autopsy which was held Yesterday
afternoon by Drs- Way and Eldred revealed that
the girl was In excellent health. Twowounds were
found, one on the forehead and one back or the ear
Neither were fractures of the skull and did not
cause death Either might have stunned the girl,
who afterwards might have been frozen to death
after being thrown under the bridge. The hands,
which were calloused, would Indicate that the do
ceased was a working gir. The theory that the
murder had been committed Ia hide another crime
has been exploded by the result or the autopsy.
The girl is said 10 have had a gold watch. gold
bracelets, gold ring and some money. All or
these We're gone when the body was found. IL Is
hardly possible that the deed WAS committed for
purposes OF robbery. Tie conductor OF the "Wlld

ST. John or Blaine which.

Quite a number of outsiders listened
plars' hall on Monday evening, of the
following question: Resolved, that
the temperance cause will be better
subserved by the election of st. John
and Daniel than by Blaine and L0>
gan"
Prof. S. III. Bracket took the affirm
alive side of the question, and argued
that the position of the prohibition
party is similar to that of the abolition
party before the formation of the re-
publican party. He contended that
there is no vital principle at issue be-
tween the two parties, upon which one
party is agreed in its favor and the
other opposed. 1t was also claimed
that neither party had granted the
temperance men the legislation they
desire, and that it is useless to ex-
pect it, since by such action the par
ties would be afraid of losing rum
votes. Walter p. Smith, Esq, argued
for the negative OH the score of expe-
diency. Since either Blaine or Cleve-
land will be elected president, and
votes for st. John will detract from
the republican strength, as the greater
part of the prohibition votes will come
from 1.-THE republican party, he thought
the temperance cause would he best
subserved by the success of the repub-
liean ticket, as temperance legislation
had mainly come through the republi-
can party. He paid high tribute to
the character of st. John, but said that
if he were elected president, he would
be pOwerless to aid the temperance
cause without a majority in congress
in its favor. He had found nothing
against Blaine in the Mulligan letters,
