Mrs. Obermiller's Unique Burglar Alarm

Cleveland, June 2S.-A most extraor-

Lakewood. For some ttme past Mrs
Mary Obermiller has been troubled
with burglars. Two of her neighbors,
Edward Radcliffe and William Beneke.
suggested to her that she obtain tin
horn and blow 1t when the burglars
came again. She blew the horn yes
terday morning.
Radcliffe and Beneke jumped out Of
bed and started for the house. Mrs.
Obermiller was very mfen excited and
shot of a revolver. Ratciiffe and Bene-
Ike shot off theirs and made such
racket that they awakened the town
marshal, who came running to the scene
with a shotgun loaded with buckshot.
He emptied the contents Of the gun
into Ratcliffe. The burglars existed
merely in the Imagination Of Mrs. Ober-
miller. Thirteen buckshot were ex-
tracted from Ratcfffe's thigh. He Will

An Amusing Colloquy Between the Two

Washington, June 30.-After tedious
consideration of the tariff bill the sem
ate wound up with half hour of live
ly and amusing colloquy between Sem
ators Tillman of South Carolina and
Chandler Of New Hampshire.
The former had proposed an amend
ment to the tariff bill providing $100
head tax on immigrants, and a restric-
tion against all those not coming to the
United States to become citizens.
Mr. Tillman made an earnest speech
on the depressed condition of labor. but
he was soon diverted from his theme by
Mr.. Chandler The latter. adopting a
style of mock gravity, directed the dis
cussion toward Mr. Cleveland's admin
istration.
This in turn brought from Mr.. Till
man a vehement criticism of the late
president, while Mr.. Chandler drolly
protested against these assaults on Mr..
Cleveland by a member of his own
party.
When the fun had been fast and fu-
rious for some time, the Tillman amend
ments were defeated-yeas, 8; nays, 4S
The three affirmative votes were cast
by Messrs. Butler, Quay and Tillman.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
1STo Portions of an Unknown Mans Body
Found In DifeFent Places.


New York, June 2s.-The lower part
Of the trunk of a man was found by
two boys in the woods at One Hundred
and Seventy sixth street ana Under
scliffe avenue, this city, yesterday after
moon. 1t was terribIy mutilated and
shows plainly that a murder has been
committed. 1t was wrapped in linole-
um oilcloth and MANILA paper, exactly
as was the upper part of trunk found
in the East river off EleveWh street
Saturday. The two are paris Of the
same body.
The two pieces were found more than
'eight miles apart, one in the water, the
other on land. The pant Wund yester-
day comprised the lower part of the
trunk from the fifth rib to the hips, the
legs having been severed from the body
at the hip Joints. 1T was wrapped In
three folds of paper and two of OH
cloth. The oiicloth was evidently cut
from the same pieee as that which in
closed the upper part of the trunk. dt
was new and of u cheap pattern, bright
red with gilt figures on 1t. 1t Is like
that commonly used for tablecloths in
tenement houses.
The find of yesterday was in a bulky
bundle lying agatnstawall next to Un-
Cdercliffe avenue. where the shrubbery
was very thick. 1t had not been dis
.eeeted, which does away with the be-
lief that 1t had been handled by rnedt-
cal,students. Besides, 1t had been terri
ibly hacked where separated from the
upper portion. 1t was sent to the
imorgue, where Ii fitted the part found
Saturday exactly.
deputy Coroner 'OFHanlon performed
an autopsy on the upper part of the
trunk before the other had been found.
He discovered two stab wounds, one
between the fifth and sixth ribs and
one between the sixth and seventh, In
the region OF the heart. There was also
a stab wound back OF the left collar
bone that extended down ITO the apex OF
the left lung.
The detectives hope to lscate the mur-
derer and identify the murdered man
through the oilcloth, which Is of a pc
.culiar pattern. II they can find the
purchaser Of the oilcloth they think
their chase will be at an end.
A dozen or more theories have been
advanced as to the probable manner
and motive OF the crime, some plausible
and some otherwise. Among these theo-
ries are the following:
That the man was murdered as the
result of deliberate plot.
That he was lured to the place where
the crime was committed and killed aft
er a desperate fight.
That he was a victim Of the Malta or
some secret organization, whose laws
he had offended and whose death as a
spy or a traitor had been decreed.
That ne was murdered for whatever
money ne possessed.
That a woman figured in the case.
and that he was victim Of jealousy.
| That a iunatie committed the crime.
and the fact that two men who escaped
| from Kings Park Insane asylum are
still at large is pointed out
| All of these theories are speculative
as there are yet no developments in the
strange case upon which to base definite
| conclusions.

Providence, June Ex-Governor Dyer
has decided not TO sign the requisition
papers from Governor Black of New

on the ground that no evidence has
been furnished him to show that the

dence, Governor Dyer says, he feels that
1t would be manifestly unjust to re-
quire them to be taken to New York
