Keen Oecoyed From Their Room.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. Aft Editor Stead
should desire to add another chapter to
his famous book, IF Christ Came to
Chicago" he would get few points in
Atlanta that would show the general APP
plication of his commentaries. Last
Wednesday among the crowds coming TO
attend the state convention, were two
young girls who gave their names as
Margaret Murphy and Ida Harris. When
they finally applied to the police for help
this morning they claimed to be from
Newman. According to their story,
entire strangers in Atlanta as
well as to the ways of big
city, they were discussing a place
to go to, standing in the waiting room OF
the depot, when a well-dressed young fell
low stepped up and politely offered to
direct them to a hotel or boarding house
They accepted his preferred services and
gave him their trunk checks. The fellow
took them to house on Poplar street and
left them. He had played his part well
up to this point and the young women
were grateful.
HAVE c HANGED THEIR OPINION.
They saw him no more, however, until
last night, when he called and told them
friends wanted to see them at the
house OF woman named Rollins.
They went with him in a hack, but at
the house Of Mrs. Rollins failed to see
anybody who knew them or wanted to
see them. When they returned TO their
room they found that their trunk had
been rifed. Some valuable jewelry and
their store Of money were gone. They
suspected the young fellow who had been
so nice TO them, and applied TO the police
for help. To-day a young man named
Watts was arrested and the Jew
elry recovered, together with part
of the missing money. He Is
now in Jail The young women,
who are evidently from the country, say
they came to Atlanta to get work TO sup
port themselves.

POLICY RAMPANT.
Gamblers Complaining Because Of the
Arrest of Operators.

The gamblers are complaining about
the frequent arrests of the policy shop
men, and are charging some Of the
justices with all sorts of things.
The latest complaint grows out
of the arrest of several
policy shop men on warrants sworn out
before Justice Endres. The gamblers
who are the owners of these institutions,
seem to think that they are being done an
injustice because their men are arrested
as often as they are caught up with.
One of the justices said yesterday
that there were about 200 OF
these policy shops in the city. He
said arrests were made Whenever
warrants were sworn out, and that
so far as he knew the warrants were al
turned over to the city court. He said il
these policy men continued to run their
wheels, they had no right TO complain of
arrest everytime they were caught.

morning after enjoying a most thrilling
experience.
The train was just approaching a

gineer noticed that the switch was
turned so as to run the train on the
siding. A big obstruction OF ties and
lumber was piled upon the siding II few
rods ahead OF the engine. The obstruC-
lions did not appear to be impossible
and the engineer put on all steam and
leaped through the pile. passing safely
on TO the main track through the split

As the train passed tho obstruction
the engineer noticed a group of masked
men. and as the engine cleared the
track OF all obstacles. the would-be high

train, none OF which, however, took
effect.

LOCUST VELLEY. Ii. l., Aug. This
community has been thrown into a fever
OF excitement through the finding Of the
dead body OF a young; and comedy
woman floating In me Sound near the
shore. .f
The body bears every evidence that
there was Il struggle before death. and
that a murder was committed to hide
another crime before the body wes
thrown into the water. 1879
There Is nothing by which the body
might be identified, and there Is, appar-
emily, another Long Island murder
mystery, to unravel. II
Henry Davis, of this village was dow
by the shore last evening. and at about
dark he deserted the body floating noe
far fro mtsore. He summoned assist
ance. and the body was taken from the
water.
II was the body Of young woman
who must have been very pretty in life.
She was. perhaps, twenty five years
old. but the face was black and bruised.
not from long submersion, for the body
had evidently not been long In the wa
ter. but apparently from heavy blows.
This theory that the young woman had
been subjected to violence Is carried out
by marks upon the neck. like the Inn
print of fingers that had choked her to
death. There we're other marks upon the
body, indicating a violent struggle. and
II Is believed that the young woman
was murdered while defending herself
from assault.
The body was clad In a gown OF hsaa
china silk. with small dots.
None of the curious hundreds who have
viewed the body have identified 1t or
recognized 1t as that of any one they
had ever seen ! nthis section. which
gives color to the theory that the young
woman was murdered on one OF the hum
dreds OF vessels plying up and down
the Sound and the body thrown over
board.
The authorities firmly believe they
have q murder mystery to unravel.
IAN inquest was ordered by the Cor
oner for this afternoon. but II may 10
many days before the mystery Is cleared
away.
When the body wac discovered. II IVES
at first supposed that 1t was that Of the
wife OF Capt. Jamison. who was
drowned off City Island last Saturday.
but as no one recognized 1t as that OF
Mrs. Jamison. this theory was ADAM
doned. City Island is several miles dis
tant, and on the opposite side Of the
Sound. and the movement OF the tides
would not be likely to carry the body
across the Sound, and, besides. the body
had, apparently, not been In the water
SO long u time.
Long Islands previous murder nays
teries have all been of one kind. In
each the victim has been n young
woman and the murderer n rejected
wooer. 1t 10 believed that to-day's mys-
terry Ia of the same character.
