To add to Long Islands already long list of
crimes another mysterious murder was revealed
in Glendale yesterday that will probably, like

time is pretty young woman about twenty
years of age, with dark hair and eyes and OF pc
tite figure. The horrible crime was discovered
shortly after O'Clock yesterday morning by a
man who was out picking blackberries in the
swamps that abound in the villages of Glen
dale. Ridgewood and Fresl. Pond.
The body was found near n new building in
course Of construction on the Never farm. A
more lonely spot could not be found on Long
Island, the surrounding land being mostly
swamp with thick growth of weeds and black
berry bushes and occasional ciumps of trees.
The marks Of finger and thumb nails OF. the
throat OF the girl left no doubt that she had
bseI murdered by being choked to death. The
skin of the neck bore five abrasions and ON tn,
left side of the throat the nails of four tiugers
had cut into 1t and the thumb nail had pene-
trateG the skin on the RICH; side.
The vital organs were in a anal condition.
The clothing of the girl was in perfect order
when the body first discovered and there
was nothing to Indicate that q struggle had
taken place.

Some important Discoveries

Chief WOOD OF Philadelphia Stumbles Onto
Some Important Discoveries.
Detective Wood Of Philadelphia has found key
by which he expects to be able to clear up the
mystery which has surrounded series of daring
post Office robberies recently committed in
Virginia. John Cusick, a horseshoer living
at 903l Buttonwood street. Philadelphia, and
Tim Burns. who says he is brakeman on the
Reading railroad who made his home at 1863
Spencer street. Falls of Schuylkill have been
locked up to await the action of the Virginia
authorities. In possession of the prisoners
were found a complete set of tools tor OPEN
ing safes. hundreds of dollars worth of
postage stamps of all denominations ana
IL boz OF old coins. The arrests
were brought about by telegram
received by Chief Wood on THURSDAY IRON
Johi Poe. j.. chief of police OF Richmond.
Va, asking him to examine box which had
been shipped from Richmond to John Cusick
| Of Philndelphia and which was supposed to con-
| tair stolen goods. Detectives were detailed on
| the case and when they went to the express
| Office they found that the box had been sent
to Cusick's house. Cusick was placed under
! arrest and when his rooms were searched 4
| leather grip was found which not only con-
| tanned the kit OF tools. but also official en-
| velope which had been sent from Wa ellington
| to the postmaster at Quicksbury. Va, aud
| which contained what was evidently the whole
| stock of stamps on hand in the office at the
| time of the robbery.
| Cusick was closely examined by Chief Wood
and at first he denied any knowledge of the
box or Its contents. He finally said they had
| been sent by some one unknown to hi, care Tor
| lin Burns. Burns wRs then arrested and in
| his room found another grip filled
| with stamps and box containing

anything about the articles. but he WAS CON

presence that the articles belonged 10 him aud
not to her husband. and that he had Iaken

reported are Quickbury. Farmviile, LynchburS

From the Baltimore American.
The veterans of the G. A. r. started yester-
day for the annual encampment at Detroit in a
blaze Of glory It was bright weather when
they started. and many persons we're on the
sidewalks to wish them pleasant and success
full trip as they marched by to the inspiring
music of the national airs. We hope that they
will consider that they have an extra mission
to fulfill this year. and that il tc induce the
Grand Army to hold its next encampment in
Washington city.
Washington is the emt odiment Of the institu-
tons peculiar tG the American people. 1t is
the seat Of government which these gallant
veterans so often defended Around it and
within hearing of the White House tremendous
conflicts ragged, and the hopes of the patriots
in those days looked to Washington as the
Mecca of Americans 1t was here. too. that
these veterans were disbanded after one of the
most remarkable contests in history, and here
where they received the thanks Of grateful
nation. The capital is the most beautiful city
in the world and within its limits are concen.
trated representations of tie greatest of man
kind in science, art and industrial progress
Next year will be celebrated the four hun
dredth anniversary of the discovery of Americs
by Columbus. and it il peculiarly appropriate
that the survivors OF that band which
saved the greatest nation that has sprung
from his discovery should thus partici
pate in the commemoration Of that
event. But perhaps the strongest reason
for holding the annual encampment at the
capital is because it has not been held there il
| twenty-six years and Washington deserves it
and her people are not only anxious to enter
, tain the soldiers, but are ready to open theil
doors and their hearts TO them in a manner
| that will make their blood course quicker
| through their veins and the moisture OF excite
ment and pleasure glisteni IN their eyes.
The people Of Washington have had abundan
experiences in entertaining strangers, and the,
can do it with as much SAVIOR faire ~ any othe
] community ON earth.

The Squadron Of Evolution Returns to Ne,
London. COnn.

| London, Conn.,
| Friday, the last day Of the navy and thu
naval reserve at Fishers Island. was clear
bright and sunny. In the forenoon races wers
pulled between the naval reserve boats, in
which the third division won, and between the
Chicago and Newark barges. in which the
former won. At2 o'clock a signal iying from
the Chicago sent all the men Of the naval
brigade into their boats. and soon afterward
| they were formed by battalions and towed to
! the landing. where they formed and marched
up to the parade ground
There WAS battalion Of marines, three
oattaions OF seamen infantry. one Of naval re-
serve and one of seamen artillery six in all
numbering total Of 800 men and five guns.
FIRST there was dress parade and then a
marc, Imareh past In review before Admiral Walker.
Inc appearance of the men was excellent and
the steadiness and good marching of the naval
reserve frequently brought forth the applause
OF the spectators. The naval reserve then left
the line and took position in front of and
racing the naval brigade.
Lieut.. Commander Miller presented the naval
brigade with stand of silken colors on behalf
Oh the naval reserve and made brief speech
thanking the officers and men of the squadron
OF evolution for the care and attention with
whlch they had given instructions to the men
under his command. Capt, Casey accepted the
flag for the naval brigade and made a suitable
response Cheers were then exchanged be-
tween the volunteers and the regulars.
Ihe first cruise Of New York naval reserve
with the navy came to a pleasant close at $50
,. m, when the squadron got under way and
went into New London. The Stonington fol-
lowed. and as she passed up the line each ship
cheer"d the milltiamen. who gave q rousing re-
spouse.
Two battalions. those of Massachusetts and
New York, numbering together between 400
and 900 men, have been given taste OF ship
lie and naval training, and have shown zeal
intelligence and desire to learn which promises
exceedingly we'll. The idea of a naval militia,
trained and ready to assist i'll time of war with
the regular force, is in the United States COM
paratively new. but glance at the populous
cities and enormous wealth of the unprotected
seaboard shows the necessity of such a reserve,
and the idea appeals to the popular sense. The
opinion is confidently expressed that the
movement is sure to grow, and in a few years
not two but dozen battalions on the Atlantic
seaboard will be prepared for the drill and train
ing that summer maueuvers afford them.
The squadron of evolution arrived in the
harbor OF New London Friday evening. A ball
and reception were given in honor of Ad-
miral Walker and officers of the fleet at the
Fort Griswold House that night. which was at
tended by the mayor. court judges. common
council and many others from New London.

A YOUNG MANS DOWNFALL.
The Nephew of Vice President Hendrick,
Arrested for Burglary.


The news from Chicago Of the arrest of Thos.
Litxerberg, alias Thomas Morgan. for burglary
brings to a close very sad case of depravity.
The young man Litzcnberg. who is not yet
thirty six was born and reared in Cincinnati,
and was the son of DR.. Litzenberg. a we'll
known physician. The young mans mother
was sister of the late Vice President Hen
bricks. and Tom was the favorite male relative
Of the distinguished Indianan.
Mr. Hendricks had no children of his OWE
and he treated his nephew as a son. When
about fifteen years old Tom Litzenberg went
to live with his uncle in Indianapolis He was
q bright boy and was thought to be much above
the average in both mental ability and moral
conduct. position in bank at indianapolis
was secured through the reference of Senator
Hendricks. and for a time he did well. He fell
into evil ways and gambled good deal, and
finally he became defaulter, and Mr..
Hendricks paid $1,000 to get him out of the
scrape.
bricks did not despair of reform in his nephew
and while he was Vice President he secured him
position in the Indianapolis post Office.
A short time before his death Mr.. Hendricks
learned that Litzenberg was again a defaulter
and had embeZzled considerable money.
Those who are most intimate with the late
statesman declare it was his conduct thai
caused his death. He was completely pros.
trated by the exposure and could not Withstand
the shock.
After he lost the support Of his uncle youns
Litzenberg went to the bad completely. He
was arrested once or twice in indianapolis, but
| on account of the influence of his connections
escaped punishment. Within the last year he
has become one of the most daring and nosori
Gus burglars and thieves in the country. His
relatives have given him up a bad Job, ant
will make no further effort to save him from
the penitentiary. This last news OF his erres
has created sensation among people where hi
father and mother were well known.
