TIED up IN A BUNDLE.
Body of a Murdered Woman Found
In q New York Street.
Awful Crime Was Deliber-
ately Carried Out.


NEW YORK. April AT . o. clock yester-
day morning Mr.. Phillips, In passing
down Sixth avenue, saw suspicious look
Ing bundle inside the railing In front Of
No. rs. He bent over and saw human
foot protruding from the covering. He
notified Patrolman Kismare, who was
short distance away, and the two men i'm
mediately proceeded to investigate.
The bundle In which the remains
were found. was bound Mt either ond with
pieces OF clothesllne, leaving the middle
portion somewhat loose. Patrolman Kis-
marc put his hand inside and drew out
the lower part OF human leg. Then he
knew that murder had been committed.
The romans were taken to the station
house on stretcher.
The body proved to be that OF an un-
known colored woman between IL and 20
years old. Around her neck was tied in a
double knot long piece OF cheese cloth.
This had boon tied SO tightly that IL had
caused strangulation and had forced the
tongue to protrude from tho mouth and
the hands had been tied across her breast
with strong piece of cord by means of a
slipknot lie legs had been cut off just
above the knees and one OF them lay on
her head, while the other was found un-
dcrneath tho body. Both members had
been hacked off with sharp AK or u
butchers cleaver, and pieces OF ragged
skin and flesh were hanging from the dis
membered legs.
Nothing to Identify Her.
The only clothing the woman had on
were chemise and chemisette OF white
material. When these were removed, n
gaping wound, nine inches long, and
which penetrated to the bone, was dis.
closed just above the right thigh.
The stuff In which the body was wrapped
was composed Of an old brown table cover,
piece of carpet and an old rug. In the
bundle there was found q piece Of note
paper. On this paper was clot Of blood
and written in pencil these words. SO far
as they could be made out:
"March 23 Rawway, N. j., James Tor
Jans) f. Surindell, Rawway, N. j." Be
meath was the word Solomon" and also
the word brother" while the word
''ditto" was written between them.
Deputy Coroner Donlin decided that the
cheese cloth with which the woman had
been choked was the direct cause Of death.
The other Inutilations, he said, had been
made after death had come. There was
nowhere to be found any evidence of q
struggle on the part Of the woman
1t Is the opinion of the police that the
woman Is member of that class of COL
ored women who live on streets running
out OF Sixth avenue and gain their liveli-
hood as women of the town. They do not
attempt to explain the motive of the

Enraged Audience.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 12.-Ex-Gov-
ernor John H. Thayer Of Nebraska was
almost hooted from the platform at the
Grand Army campfire at Phoenix Hill
last night, which was participated in by
a crowd of over 10000. Early in the even
ing addresses were delivered by Congress
man-elect Evans and Ex-Governor Buck
ner, and it was close to IL O'Clock when the
Nebraskan was introduced.
After talking of war times and the flag
he suddenly shot off on new tack and
commended Grover Cleveland for calling
out the United States soldiers to put down
the laboring men in Chicago a year ago.
He called Governor Altgeld an anarchist
and denounced Eugene Y. Debs for every
thing under the sun. Then he switched
about and SAID:
Colonel Evans, you are the next Repub-
lican Congressman from this district.
call on you to amend the naturalization
laws when you go to Congress SO as to shut
out the 'Dagoes of Italy and the emf
grants of other European countries"
Thousands in the audience Immediately
sang out, shut up; sit down."
Colonel Evans advanced to the front of
give Governor Thayer hearing. Silence
relgned for few minutes and he began
again. He said he had made speeches a
thousand times, but never before had he
been interrupted.
II don't know why it was" he said.
A voice from the audience responded,
"You don't know any better"
Thayer attempted to continue his talk
on the same lines, but by this time the
entire audience was in an uproar, and
there were cries of Take him away" 1--WE
won't hear him"
He managed to say: II thank all the re-
spectacle people in the audience for the
polite attention they have accorded me.

WICHITA, KANs., Sept. 12.--The west

was held up three miles west of Curtis.
four robbers, all of whom wore black
masks.
The robbers forced tie section boss, John
Miller, at the point of Winchester, to
place ties and other distractions on the
track in deep cut, and then, still keeping
their guns leveled at him from behind a
pile of rocks, they made him flag the train.
The train, which was under the charge
of Conductor Corfeld, Engineer Robert
Buswall, Fireman Tom Parks, came
within an ace of crashing into the obstruc-
ton. When the train stopped two of the
desperadoes ordered the engineer and fire
man off the engine, and made them march
down the track some distance.
Several shots were fired through the ex-
press-car, one of which barely missed Mes
senger Klever, who retreated to the smoker
and did not venture out again during the
holdup. The conductor and brakeman
jumped off to investigate the cause of the
sudden stop. and found themselves look
ing down the muzzles of pair of Win
chesters. They were ordered to get back
on the train and obeyed instantly.
The robbers first entered the mailcar,
and then proceeded TO go through the ex-
press-car. They got nothing but the mes
senger's gun. and when they asked the en-
gineer who the messenger was, he said he
was unable to identify him.
Their programme had evidently been to
compel the messenger at the point of guns
to deliver up the money packages. Fooled
in their efforts to open the safe, they beat
hasty retreat, ordering the crew not to
move the train until they gave the signal.
The hold-up lasted nearly half hour.
Two Deputy United States Marshals who
were on the train exhibited pitiable cow
ardice, hiding their guns and crouching
behind the seats. After the train got
under way the deputy marshals fired at
the retreating robbers from the baggage
car, but to no effect.
During the hold-up the robbers horses
were hitched in ravine several rods dis
tant. A special train from Woodward, o.
T., bearing Deputy Sheriff Ben Woodford
and Deputy United States Marshals Fun
hauser and Hail, reached the scene an
hour and half after the hold-up. The
trail was plain and leads in southeast
erly direction toward the Blackjack coun-
try. The officers are in hot pursuit of the
robbers. 1t is the first instance of day
light hold-up known in this section.

were given to Sheriff Pfanz for personal
service, and having succeeded in securing
admission to the secret session in Liberty
Hall by warning the sentinel of the
majesty of the law, he proceeded to the
platform and served the first injunction
upon the National president, Mrs. NJ. R. M.
Wallace, of Chicago. Then he was in a
quandary. The other fourteen he did not
know from Adam. Mrs. Wallace upon
being asked to point them out refused
bluntly. Delegates mounted chairs and
begged their sisters not to betray their
associates But Mrs. Clark had friends on
the floor, and one by one, amid scene OF
wild excitement, the officials were deslg-
mated until all the injunctions had been
served. Then Mrs. Clark took off her hat
in triumph and the Sheriff withdrew.
The address of Commander Lawler and
the presentation OF subordinate reports &C.
cupied the remainder of the morning ses-
sion of the encampment. When the en-
campment reassembled at 2 80 the location
of the next encampment was made the
special order. The claims of st. Paul were
presented by II. A. Castle and Ex-Governor
MCGill, those of Denver by Nicholas
O'Brien and General John Cook Jr.. and
those of Buffalo by F. L. Atkinson and
James Graham.
The first ballot resulted as follows: st.
Paul 1896, Buffalo 226, Denver 1877, Nash
vile &c. The selection of st. Paul was
made unanimous.
The election OF officers was the next
order. For commander-in-chief, General
T. N. Walker of Indianapolis was nomi-
mated by his only competitor, General
Thayer of Nebraska, and chosen unani-
mously; for senior vice-commander-ln
chief, General G. ii. Hobson of Greensburg,
KY, and for junior vice, S. G. Cosgrove OF
the State of Washington, were chosen by
reclamation. An adjournment was then
taken until Friday afternoon.
At the close of the morning session the
officers and council of the Women's Relief
Corps called conference and decided not
to continue with business until the
Clark injunction has been argued in court.
Counsel was at once employed to move its
dissolution tomorrow morning. The dele
gates met in the afternoon with open
doors and listened to speeches and the
reading of letters from absentees. Mrs.
Clark was in her seat, but took no part in
the proceedings.
The Ladies of the Grand Army met in
conference at Liberty Hall, with Mrs. n.
Gunlock of Chicago presiding. The report
showed membership of &c, 900, an increase
of 1000 during the year, mostly in Illinois.
No business of National importance was
transacted.
The display of fireworks on the river
front tonight was one of the finest ever
seen here. Two hundred thousand spec
tators lined the Kentucky banks.
