NEW York. April 24.-An old woman
was found murdered in this city today.
She could not rave been much under so
years OF age. Her hair was almost white
and her features stamped with the marks
OF drunkenness and the gutter. She was
a typical specimen Of a woman of the
slums. The man, according to the clerk
of a hotel, was apparently not over 80
years of age. In build he was slight aud
of medium height, with light complexion,
blonde mustache aud blonde hair. He
did not utter a word in the hearing of any
people about the hotel and the murder
must have been a uoiseless one as other
rooms on the same floor we're occupied
and a whisper could almost be heard
through the partitions. When a boy
pushed open the door of the room this
morning he beheld such a scene of horror
as he will not forget to bis dying day.
Stretched out on the bed, naked from the
waist down, lying on her right side, with
both arms twisted and bent under her.
her head enveloped in fold after fold of
clothes, the old woman lsy stark dead on
a mattress soaked with blood.
She had been completely disembowelled,
and the terrible result of the operation
was drawn out and scattered over
the entire lower part OF the bed. Whether
any parts are missing, as was the case
with the London murders. has not yet
been fully ascertained. When the cover
ings were removed from the face. the ex-
preston was one of agonY. The old
woman had evidently struggled hard be-
fore being straDgled. A doctor who saw
the body says: Whether by chance or
skill, the cut was made so as to effect the
object aimed at by the London Jack the
Ripper namely, the removal of the
uterus.
Inspectors Byrnes and Williams we're
busy until a late hour tonight questioning
a large number OF people brought in.
Probably more detectives are working on
this case than on any ever before known
in New ork. The woman was identified
tonight as one Carrie Brown. aged 60. A
man known as "Frenchy," who was an
acquaintance of the dead woman, has
been arrested.
At | o'clock this morning a man by the
name of Adolph Kellenberg was arrested.

At Santa Barbara.

SANTA BARBARA, April 24.-The visit
OF President Harrison to Santa Barbara
this afternoon was celebrated in the most
unique and characteristic manner. 1t
seemed as if the entire population Of this
ancient town was gathered at the station
when the train rolled in. A procession
was formed at the station composed OF a
ealvacade of Spanish citizens in native
costumes, Grand Army veterans, school
children, and citizens in gaily decorated
carriages. The party was first escorted to
the promenade des Anglais, where they
witnessed q battle OF flowers, a
spectacle new to this country. The
battlR participated In by ladies' and gen.
tlemeh in opeR carriages so covered with
flowers and green's that they were com
pletely obscured. even to wheels and
harness. Along the front of the plat
form on which the presidential party
stood there were four columns, in the con-
struction of which nearly 90, 1000 Gala
lilies were used. After the party were es-
corted to the Santa Barbara mission,
where they were received by Superior
O'Keefe and his assistants and shown
through the historic editice by virtue OF a
special dispensation. Princess Louise
Of England Is the only other
lady besides these in the party today who
rave ever been admitted to the garden.
On leaving, the president thanked Father
O'Keefe cordially for the privileges &C
corded the party. After dinner the presi-
dent held a public reception and later a
ball took place at the hotel, during which
there we're old fashioned Spanish dances
by ladies in costume. This was followed
by a banquet to the president. Secretary

THE DFAp SOLDIER.

New YORK. Feb. 1S-The final prep
arations were completed for the dispo-
sition of the body of General Sherman
prior to the funeral on Thursday after
noon. The undertaken and his assist
ants were busy all the morning at the
house in Seventy-frst street and their
task was finished at noon. The body
of the old General was dressed in the
full military uniform of his rank and
placed in the coffin, which was
brought to the house last night
and from which it viii never
again be removed. When this task
was accomplished the coffin was car
ried downstairs to the front parlor,
where it is to remain until the funeral
ceremonies take place 1t is covered
with a somber drapery of black, and in
the darkened room tall wax tapers
are kept burning. in accordance with
the customs of the Catholic church.
The last rites will be performed by
Father Taylor, of the Church of the
Blessed Sacrament, and his assistants.
The coffin is of oak slined with cream.
eolored satin and covered with black
cloth. The only ornaments are the han
dies of polished silver at the sides and
the silver plate'upon the lid, upon which
this inscription is engraved:

WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN,
GENERAL u. S. A,
BORN FEB. s. 1920.
DIED FEB. II, 1891.

The casket is exactly similar to the one
in which the wife Of the General was
buried only few years ago. No one
but the members Of the family and their
most intimate friends have been or will
be permitted to look upon the face
of the General before the coffin is
finally closed 1t is said that his feat
ures have been much wasted by his
illness and greatly changed from what
they were in life and health, which
is partly due to the treatment
with iodine which was employed
to allay his sufferings and re
duce the inflammation of the face and
neck during the last few days Of his
sickness. The stains upon the skin still
remain, although the embalmers have
mcceeded in partially effaeing them.
and this furnishes another reason for
the firm determination Of the family
not to permit the remains to be viewed
bv the public.
