New York Experiencing an Epidemic
of Wickedness Worse Than
Ever Known Before.
Six Suicides and Five Sensational
Murders in the Metropolis
Since Sunday.
Police Still Unable to Clear I'd the
Mystery in Long
Island.

New YORK, Aug. Anew York is en-
joying an epidemic of crime the like of
which even in this Crime-infeSted city,
has not been known before for many a
long day. Since Sunday there have
been five sensational murders reported
and at least six suicides and as many
more attempts at both. In one police
court yesterday over 80 cases were up
for trial, a number of which were for
murder, attempted suicide. assault and
robbery. The latest discovery of MUIR
der was made this morning when the
body of Professor KorH, "a distinguished
linguist of the annexed district, was
found floating in the Sound at Oak
Point. The body was covered with
wounds and bruises, and had only been
in the water Il short time when
discovered. A valuable watch and
$500 in money were missing. Prof.
KOrff, who was CO years of age, left his
home on Saturday and was seen later
with n man whose identity has not
been established. The police and de-
tectiveS are searching for him. =,
The Long Island mystery which was
brought to light yesterday has not been
cleared up. The girl whose body was
loulli III al lSoldIeu SpoI near tleutdie
has been identified as Matilda IIaber,
of North Haven, Conn, by her uncle.
She left her home on Saturday with a
man named John Hale, who was re.
garded as her iiance. She had
over 500 with her and this
was not on her body when
found yesterday. She had been choked
to death. Very little is known of
Hale and the descriptions are not very
intelligent. The police aud great
many detectives are following mp the
clues. The girl is reported to have
been worth a good sized fortune. in

y MENT IN PERU.
Personal Encounter Between Revo-
IuIioni>i and a Military Auachc.

LIMA, Peru via Galveston), Aug. A.
Intense excitement has been created in
diplomuti circles here by fierce per-
sonal encounter Letween the represent
alive of the Chilean revolutionary party
and n military attache of the Chilean
government legation. From all ac-
counts the attacking party was
the attache, and the assault is said to
have been of most brutal character.
The surgcnt representative is seriously
injured. In fact, the Peruvian
authorities have already taken up the
affair and will insist upon satisfaction.
The affair is looked upon as gross
violation of the rights accorded the
junta' representative by their friendly
ncighbOr, Peru.

AN EIFFEL TOWER.
Chicago May Have One ut the
Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, Aug A. There is now
prospect that the grandest feature of
the universal exposition at Paris will
be reproduced in magnfied and inn
proved form at the coming Column bian
show In other words, it is probable
that there will be an Eifel tower
erected for the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position, which possibly may be left
standing as a reminder of the fair.
President Baker received to day from
the great Eiffel himself u cublegram
in relation to the project. NJ. Eiffel
stated that he had a proposition ready
to submit for the erection of grand
tower on the exposition grounds. 1t
did not take long to write the answer
that the exposition company would be
glad to receive and consider any good
tower proposition. The answer was
fred back by cable TO MIR. EircI and
will probably bring him to Chicago,
proposition and all.

Mountain i'm pennsylvania.

WoMELsDoRF, Penn, Aug. THE
wild woman who roamed over South
Mountain near this place years ago. it
is reported has made her appearance
again. One of a party from this place
while picking buckle berries, says he
saw her. while going through a ra-
VINE, he said, "our attention was drawn
to a peculiar noise on the incline above.
We ventured near the spot and saw
to our amazement a woman with long
hair growing over her face and body
and one arm and leg shorter than the
others. She was hanging on vine
suspended from large tree, swinging
to and fro, and as if humming lula
by. Upon seeing us she leaped from
tree to tree and was soon lost to sight,
chatterng to herself as she disap-
peared.'
The affair has caused considera BILE
talk here and the matter will be fur

Those who Know Say the Lands axe
Worth from $25, 900 to
100000.

There are several thousand acres of state
lands in Crawford county, mainly over
flowed or so.called "swamp lands" These
lands are valuable for pasturage and hay
meadows, now that the best timber has
been cut off most Of the tracts. Some Of
these lands are occupied by parties, who
claim titles of one kind or ano ther, and
all Of them have been free commons for
stock owners and timber thieves.
There are n considerable number of
tracts valuable for timber growing there
on Hay is cut and stacked upon many
of these lands; and the hay and stump
age" if properly attended TO, would more
than defray the expense of survey and
appraisal.

lands where they remain all summer, I'M
til the fall ruins begin, and then come out
rolling fat, to forage upon the fields add

and cattle now being pastured upon these
state lands in this county.
Some time ago the state land commits
sioners appointed board of appraisers
consisting of Messis. w. d. Merrill, OF
Prairie du Chen; Thomas Gaynor, of
Chippewa Falls, and Mi3hael
Johnson, of this county. These gentlemen
went to work and have been upon every
piece of these state lands in Marietta,
Wauaeka, Clayton, Haney, Bridgeport,
Prairie du Chen and Eastman, in the
Kickapoo, Mississippi and Wisconsin river
valleys.
Over one thousand acres of these lands
have been carefully examined and apprais-
ed. In some instances, where the lands
were occupied, or there was u question AZ
to the identity of any tract, n careful sur
vey was made, and the exact metes and
bounds were ascertained. In most cases
there were several parties ready to pur"

Two of the gentlemen on the appraising
board have large farms and they have
taken mn adjournment until after harvest
to attend to personal business. When
their labors are completed they will make
a report and the commissioners then in
tend to offer these lands for sale. Ample
notice will be given, and parties who have
enclosed, improved or occupy any of these
lands will be allowed an opportunity to
perfect their title and purchase direct
from the state.

and will bring IA high as . 10 per acre;
others will not bring more than 81, A
rough estimate from those who are ii n
position to know places the value of the
entire tracts at 825 900 to $4,000.
