DEL RIO. Tex, April 90.-Last night in
East Del Rio an unknown Mexican visited
the house of Mexican woman named
Sanchez during the absence of her hus-
band. He was not seen TO make his exit
and it is supposed he remained there all
night. Next morning his dinbolical work
was discovered. He had knocked the
woman in the head with hatchet, and
then literally cut her to pieces. After
this butchery he wrote upon the wall in
letters OF her blood the sentence, Fresh
Beef for Sale" He disappeared without
leaving trace Of his whereabouts.

PROVIDENCE, II. l., May 4.-Dr. Graves
who has been brought into such promi-
nence in connection with the murder by
arsenic of Mrs. Darnaby, says that he is
preparing, with the help of lawyer, a
complete statement for pub ication, in
which he will explain everything. From
the fact that no ifteen-cent postage stamps
have been sold in Boston for a year and
from statements made by the stamp clerks
at the Providence postohice in this city,
almost positive proof is secured that the
fifteen-cent stamps upon the poison pack
age were procured at the postoffice in this
city.
