YOUNG WOMAN MURDERED.


CINCINNATI, Feb. IA sensational
murder was discovered carly this morning
in Kentucky, about half a mile from Fort
Thomas. Some employees Of James Lock,
who live on the Alexandria pike, while 60
ing to their labor found the body of q
young woman in somewhat secluded place
about fifty yards from the pike. There
were evidences of a fierce struggle and the
astonishing feature of the case is that the
victim was beheaded and the head missing.
Nothing SO far has been found to estab-
lish the identity OF the murdered woman or
10 give clew to the murderer,
Bloodhounds are on the track of the muir
derer tonight. All search to-day for the
head of the woman has proven fruitless. Ii
is conjectured she Is an abandoned woman
from Cincinnati but efforts TO discover alb
sentees in that class have failed. The only
clue TO the persons in the tragedy is the
fact that Fort Thomas soldier saw a man
pike last night and sergeant later heard
the voice of a woman screaming about mid
night.
The bloodhounds put on the murderer's
track went to Covington reservoir No. 2. sit
uated a mile northwest OF Fort Thomas =
stopping at the edge of the water and bark
ing vociferousiy. They were taken away
with difficulty. The water will be drained
from the reservoir tonight, with the hope
of finding the head OF the dead woman aud
possibly the body OF her murderer The
scene of the murder shows signs OF a strug-
gle. 1t is believed dull butcher knife was
The victim appears TO have been about thir-
fv-fiye old

ON. A SILVER BASIS.
Mexican Cotton Factories Producing 9
and Selling Goods mt Low Prices.

MEXICO CITY, Feb Mexican cotton
mills and print works are gaining new ter
ritory for the sale of their product, and
merchants in this city are now sending cot
ton prints TO the west coast cities and driv-
ing British and other foreign cotton goods
out of the market. Mexican cotton goods
are being produced on the silver basis and
can be sold about s120 less per piece than
British cottons. Large shipments are being
made to Mazatlan and other west coast
points. The Mexican Herald says that Mex
lean mills can now compete with the British
and European cotton goods on the coast of
South America. Mexican cotton mills are
paying dividends, one of the largest fac
tories in this city having just declared a 20
per cent. dividend, and has large surplus.
This factory will enlarge its plant to sup
ply the growing demand.
The Spanish colonies organ has denounced
Senator Walcotts speech picturing Latin
American republics as despotisms ruled by
military tyrants who achieve power by muir
der and bloodshed.
The federal census of the republic, which
is now completed, shows popuia-
tion of 12,542,057. The City of Mexico has
SS9 9s5; Guadalajara, $50; Pueblo, 81 ,el7:
Monterey, $685.; Merida, sc, ,102; Zacatecras,
40,G25; Durango, f2, 166.
The postoffice authorities propose to en-
ploy women in minor positions in the postal
service. Fever has appeared in Pueblo
with a number of fatal cases, but no deaths
among the foreign population.
The federal telegraphs were to-day SUBJ
stantially completed by the opening of a
new line from Tehuantepec TO Acapaulco.
Every important point in the republic is
now comprised in the federal network and
large places can be communicated with by
four or five routes The federal telegraphs
service rules being strictly applied in their
MANAGEMENT.

FAMILY POISONED.
One Woman Dead and Other People in
Dangerous Condition.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Feb. 1.-Martin
Lynn. his wife, two children and his sis
ter, were poisoned in their cottage to-day
Miss Lynn is dead. Mrs. Lynn cannot re-
cover and Lyla's recovery is doubtful. The
children are out of danger. The case is
a myster; end will be investigated.
Miss Lynn had apparently been dead
twenty-four hours when found by a neigh
Dor, who was attracted to the house by the
crying OF the children. In Lynn's pockets
were found some pills, the nature of which
had not been determined. When this condl-
ton of affairs was discovered the father
was lying on the floor between the table
and stove; the mother lay across a chair,
with the infant in her arms, and the other
child two years old, was kneeling beside
her mother, begging her to awake Miss
Lynn was in her bedroom dead The affair
must have happened Thursday night, the
table being set for the evening meal.
