A MYSTERIOUS CRIME.
Evidences of a Most shocking Murder in
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, December 26ih.-A party of
boys, while playing 10 East Fairmount Park, to-
day, in the vicinity of abe new city reservoir,
found two bundles in a section of the new 80
inch Waterman stored there, with the mutil-
ated remains of human body. Evidently a
most horrible murder had been committed
The legs had been cut off close to the trunk, the
left one having been cut with sharp knife
and the bone sawed through. The other leg
was likewise cut, and the bone was partly sawed.
On the trunk were three shirts, the outer one
being made of dark flannel
leather strap was around the waist. The arms
were not severed from the body but were tied
in front at the wrists with stout cord. The
head was crushed in horrible manner at the
back, and there were three terrible knife
wounds on the side of the face. The left jaw
was also broken.
The body was evidently that Of German,
probably 35 years of age. Near the place where
the candles were placed was found portion OF

rather good-naturedly. Mrs Parsons was among
them.

waved aloft big red handkerchief which had
been concealed in her muff "They would moi

London or scotland. Anarchists march through
the streets of London singing the 'Marseilles
and are not interrupted. Yet they call this

and public sentiment would back him.

SOUTHERN CoNGREssMEN.
Republican Members from the South
Want to Draw the Section Line.

WASHINGTON, December 26.h.-There is dis
position on the part of the Republican mem
bers of the present. Congress who have been re-
turned to the Fifty-frst Congress 70 make them
selves felt in the next House by forming a
combine" These gentlemen have held sew
eral conferences but beyond deciding that 1t
would be advantageous to form combination
to give their united support TO particular set
of candidates for Speaker and other elective
officers, nothing has been done. difficulty
arose when the names of individuals were pre-
sented. Besides, it was wisely concluded that
as twenty members were elected from the South
and cnly seven are now in Congress- it would
be better to wait until the newly-elecled mem
bers could be consulted.
1t is not believed that this combination will
work. The Southern Republicans will probably
obtain greater recognition by avoiding such
combinations. In an effort to dictate what their
colleagues from the other sections should do,
they seem certain to fail. The unofficial list of
Representatives-elect recently publish ed shows
that twenty Republicans were elected from the
following eight States Kentucky, 2; Missouri,
4; North Carolina, 3; Tennessee, 3; Virginia, 2:
West Virginia, 2. OF these twenty, thirteen are

Such history would recognize the fact that an
