mystery, according to a statement made
by Mrs. William Harris. She says she is
a sister of the murdered girl, Mary Dor.
man.
A girl wearing clothing of European
make was found on the mornin- of March
26, 1887, IN Central avenue. Railway, n.
J. a Coroner's jury rendered a verdict
that an unknown girl was murdered by
some person or persons unknown. After
The inquest there were q mum ber of iden-
iiticatlons, but the only one that was at
all plausible came from Mrs William
Space, wife of a weil-to-do farmer OF Deck
er,own. n. ]. Mrs. Space positively iden-
tilted the body as that of her sister. Mary
Dorman. Subsequently Mrs. Harris, All
other sister, confirmed II.
A middle-aged lady wesrng glasses
called at the Herall office and said she
wanted to tell about the person who MUIR
dered her sister, Mary DormaD. She said
she was the widow OF William Harris, who
died about year ago, and that she had
received letter from her sister Maggie

Mrs Harris said she received a letter
from her mother in March. 1857. telling
that Mary YOU sail fer New York ON
March II. The letter also said: I'D mt
tell the folks At Deckertown that Mary is
married" There is a sad story connected
with this injunction and now Mrs. Harris
has supplied the missing link.
Mary was a mother 81 10 ;" she said.
THE father OF her child was the son of
Scotch baronet. After that she was mar
ried 10 Samuel Chase, a half blind mason.
She lett him and saved her money. She

Mrs Harris said the mur erers-for
there were Two concerned in the crime
were relatives of her own by marriage.
One of the two men, who were brothers.
lived in this country. although at the
same time his vile was in Scotland. The
other brother came over on the same
steamer with Mary. According TO Mrs.

the girl, recognized her on shipboard, but
she denied that she was Mary Dorman
She had registered under a fictitious
name.
These men," said Mrs. Harris, "got
hold of Mary. The one who was here,
and who lived in Jersey City told her he
would take h"r TO her sister, Mrs. Space, at
Deckeriown. n. ]. The three got into the
Railway train and they took her out, mur-
dered her and took her money, watch and
chain and jewelry."

Substitutes for Glass.

Tectorium is The name of a material
manufactured in Germany as a sub
stitute for glass, says an exchange.
Bichromated gelatin is laid over both
sides of a kind of web of galvanized
steel or iron wire, and can be male
into sheets one-sixtee OF an inch
thick 1t is unbreakablc. and is said
to be lighter than glass. 1t bends
easily, is poor conductor of heat aud
cold, and is not difficult of repair.
However, it is liable to become soft in
hot weather. and is intiammable.
HOrnalos is much like tectorium,
only more transparent and harder.
Manila paper soaked in boiled liuseed
oil until it is both waterproof and tran
slucent is used as substitute for glass
in hot houses. 1t comes in long rolls,
is durable, requires no shading from
the hot sun, and it is sad, costs about
one hundred as much as glass.
