THE LETTERS WENT BACK
BODY SAWED IN TWO.
Young Woman's Remains Buried in
Two Graves.

ST. Joseph, Mo-, Nov. 12.-The body OF
an unknown oung Woman was found buried
yesterday in a field near the city 1t
had been cut in two at the waist, and car
ried to the field in gIlnny sacks, where tw
separate graves Were made: the head and
trunk placed in ere and the low er part OF
the body in another
The burial place was near the insane
as yium, and the employees there saw two
men ride into the field Tuesday night On
horseback.
They dismounted and opened the grave
with a spade. After looking at the face
of the corpse they rode away, leaving the
grave uncovered The asylum employees
went to the place yesterday and found the
body.
No one has Identified the body, and it s
believed 10 have been brought from some
other place. That murder has been com-
mitted there is little doubt, and an investi-
Ea'ion is being made by the coroner and
police.
The body had heen buried for some tine.
probably for several weeks. and was con
siderably decOmpOsed. There was no Goth

The evening times., 1896-11-12

In different cities talk is being induigeu
in regarding deals likely to be made, ana
among them is one in which jim Mcduire
and Johnny O'Brien, OF the Senators, figure
inexchange for Hallman, Cross ana ihouip-
son or Cooley, of the Phillies-
1t is well known that Mr.. Wagner las
had his e We on Hallman and Thompson Iof
some time, and 1t is believed that an oiier
was made for them during the past season,
but the management of the Philadelphia
club could not see its way clear To part with
them then, as there were no players IN
sight to fill tie places which would be
made vacant.
Besides, the baseball public and press of
the Quaker City were knocking on the
team, and, as Hallman and Thompson were
both favorites, IL was not deemed wise TO
incur further displeasure if it could be
avoided.
PLAYERS STILL POPULAR.
Just how such a deal proposed could be
made at the present time with a greater
degree of safety than during last season, 1t
is nard to imagine, as the THO OF Quakers
mentioned have lost none OF their popular
ity while IL is known that Mcclure is held
in such high esteem by the fans OF wash
ington that 1t would cause many pangs OF
regret If he was traded. II would nave 10
be demonstrated very clearly that the Sena-
tors would be strengthened to great cx-
tent before they could believe that pa rting
with the .Oid Reliable would be u good
move.
AS for o. 'Brien his work since he became
a Senator was not OF the high order or
which he is capable, and no one regretted
that fact more than Jack himself. With
such a handicap, it was a hard matter to
ingratiate himself into favor with the
followers of the Washington Club.
STONE WALL INFIELD.
From a practical standpoint, and laying
all sentiment aside, the Washington team
would get Tn e better of the deal. With Lave
Cross at third, DeMontreville at short,
Hallman at second, and Cartwright at first
the infield would indeed be a stone wall
With Thompson Or Cooley 10 play in
the outfield the club would then be COM
posed OF pla ycrS strong enough in fielding
and batting, as a team, to get ii Few
points nearer the top of the average tables
in these two essential features of the game
than at the end of the season just closed
A great deal OF unjust criticism and cen
sure is often heaped upon the heads of
those who have charge of ball club by
patrons OF the game. Those who are least
conversant with the internal workings OF
the team are usually the most severe in
their deuunciation.
However. it is only necessary to prove
that the changes have been for the best,
and all is forgiven.
Whatever changes may be made, the
men who have the most at stake must be
given credit for knowing what they are
about, realizing that winning team means
more shekels in their Golfers. and If any
body should ask you that is what they are
all after.

Fighter in the Navy.

Brown, commandant Of the Norfolk navy
yard, under whose supervision the i'll
fated battIeship Texas was constructed,
was interviG wed on the sub ject Of the latest
accident to the big fighter at the Brooklyn
navy yard. He said:
The vessel certainly has been unlucky,
but this latest disaster quite passes my COM
prehension. l cannot conceive that SO SIM
pie an accident should have caused SO seri-
Gus disaster; but, of course, the unexpected
and mex Nplicable frequently happens where
accidents are concerned. 1 will simply say
in reply to all the criticisms of the ship that
the Texas is the finest fighter in the navy
today.
Everybody outside of this yard seems TO
be jealous because they didn't build her.
In every test the ship has ever had she has
proved what she is When the squadron put
to sea with the tail end Of a hurricane a
few weeks since, while the Indiana was
having her trouble, the Texas was plowing
ahead with all ease.
capt. Glass reports that her gun plat
forms were the steadiest in the fleet and
that's what we want, SO that her battery
can be fired even while she is in the trough
of the sea. She only rolled six degrees,
while the Indiana rolled sixteen. She is not
faulty and not unseaworthy, but has simply
had badluck, nd every one of her mishaps
has been magn lied.

Texas are being used to prevent the con-
struction of any more ships at navy yards"

The w6rkhouse authorities are busy to-

The story of this case is an interesting
QUE On August II Quinn was stricken
with Il strange malady IN his room at No.
All street northwest.
Immediately after the attack he became
unconscious, and a police ambulance was
summoned. He was removed AT once TO
Freedmau's Hospital, where he died four
days later, without recovering CONSCIOUS
ness. The remains We're kept the usual
length of time, but being unclaimed were,
it is said sent to the pauper's graveyard.
The authorities learned the mans name
from his landlady but she did not know
from whence he came, Or whether lie had
any relatives.
THE LIVING BROTHER.
The circumstances attending Quinn's
Death and burial had passed from the minds
of the busy police officials, when yesterday
Major Moore received letter from f. Z.
QUINN a brother of the dead man. II was
dated at the Monongahela House, Pitts
burg, Pa, where he is stopping temporarily,
and made earnest inquiries about the where
abouts Of his relative. From this conmuni-
cation it is evident that the dead man was
a member OF prominent family. He was
a lawyer by profession, and, although hut
thirt y-eight years OF age, his hair was as
white as snow.
He was given to occasional sprees, 1t is
said, and perhaps wandered to this city
while on one of them.
While here he had but little to say about
himself and never spoke OF his family. Had
lie been more talkative about such matters
the unfortunate man might not now be oc-
cupying grave in the eoyercrowdedpotter's

The brother was in ignorance OF Quinl.'s
death until he received Ma .or Moore's reply,
announcing the fact. He had been in the
habit of sending to his deceased brother
remttances OF money at regular intervals
