selling Christie by the arm, said:
'T want you" The mother
and sister attempted her defense,

ran for assistance then. Then Almy
dragged his victim into the bushes and
shot her twice in tine head, one shot tear
ing out her Left eye. When help arrived
the girl was dead and her body was stripped
of nearly every article of clothing. Almy
had fed. Miss Warden was q
beautiful and most estimable young
lady, about - twenty-five years old,
a graduate of the State Normal school
and a popular teacher. Almy was form

ter of Andrew A Warden, a wealthy
farmer and leading citizen. The terrible
affair occurred 30 late that it was mid
night before the news reached the village.
Sheriff Foster is sending out searching

five feet ten inches tall, had dark nous

well educated. The father of the muir
dered girl offers reward of $500 for the
capture of the murderer. The town will
undoubtedly offer an additional reward.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
Lord Salisbury Declares That IL
Ought to Form a Part of Coming
Electoral Reforms.

Ought to Form Part of Coming
Electoral Reforms.
copyrighted by the Associated PressI
LONDON, July 17.-Nothing has recently
excited the inner conservative circles SO
much as Lord Salisbury's declaration that
female suffrage ought to forms part of
coming electoral reforms. The election
agents of intending candidates besiege the
executive of the conservative association,
demanding to know whether there is an
essential part of the government program.
A host of members of the house of COM
mons have warned the executive that fe-
male vote plank would not be accepted by
an influential section of the party without
a protest. The premier has long been
known to be inclined to concede the right
of suffrage to women as a preamble
counterpoise to the democratic tendency to
the principle of manhood suffrage, but now
for the first time he has tried to commit
the party to this. momentous change of
franchise. The council of the conservative
association at an informal meeting to-day,
without passing resolution to that effect,
decided to intimate to Lord Salisbury that
the party was so divided on the question
that it would be unwise to recognize it as
conservative principle. In spite of Lord
Salisbury's allusion that the life of parlia-
ment will not expire until August, 1898,
electoral agents are preparing for dissolu-
ton in the spring. The conservative plat
form, upon which candidates will begin
their canvass without delay, is now def
nitely cast.
