LIKE THE RAILWAY
MYSTERY.

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn.,, Feb. Is, 1897
The identity of the italian woman
whose body was found lying across the
tracks of the Consolidated road between
East NorwallS and Westport late last
night has not yet beeen established.
Many Italians viewed the remains this
morning, but none could tell who the
woman was.
Coroner Doten of Fairfield county and
the local police have be en- working on
the case since daylight, but up to noon
had developed nothing tangible as to
either the identity of the woman or that
of her murderer.
The medical examiners report shows
a long clean cut over the left ear, which
nearly cleaved the scalp. There was a
deep cut below the ear which severed the
juglar vein. These wounds were un-
doubtedly made with a stiletto. Cuts on
the hand seemed to indicate that the
woman had a struggle with her murderer.
The footprints in the snow from the
spot where the body of the woman was
found have been tracked to East Norwalk
where all trace was lost. The woman is
about twenty-eight years old.

SCRAPPING REPUBLICANS
Lively Fight at Last Nights
Organization Of Ward
Clubs.

| In compliance with the rules of the
County Committee the Republicans last
night organized ward clubs. The officers
of such organizations had to be members
| OF the County Committee. Of course the
elections took place, ,but already there are
cries of fraud being heard from all parts
| or the county. In nearly every ward
| too. there were bitter contests, and as q
consequence the trouble that threatens
TO disrupt the party was intensified
| rather than diminished.
Never before, say some Republicans
was the party in such a dilapidated, dis
turbed state. There are warning fac
tons in nearly every ward who are only
biding their time to get chance to
knife candidates for the several offices.
In the First ward there was lively
SCRAP" "Billy'' Eaton, however, came
off victorious, being chosen President by
only one vote. Benjamin Drachman was
elected Treasurer
In the Second ward William Broas was
elected President. He defeated the fol-
lowers of Assemblyman Bob" Urqua-
hart.
In the Third ward there was absolute.
ly no contest, and the election there was
Samuel D. Dickinson was elected Presi.
dent. John Rotterdam. vice-President
Fred Schober. Treasurer, and Martin
Finck, Secretary.
In the Fourth ward there was a con
test, but it was conducted in a friendly
way. The candidates for the Presidency
were Mayor Wanser and ex-Assembly-
man Harry Holmes. Mayor Wanser wa:
victorious. John Driscoll was elected
Vice President; John T. Erwin, Treasur-
er, and Jacob zimmerly, Secretary.
IN the Seventh ward, Peter Dafeldeck-
er was chosen President Henry Smith,
Vice President; w. C. Dunn, Secretary
and Christian Lauer, Treasurer.
The Ninth Ward Club organized, with
John P. Landrine, President, to succeed
Richard Brown Of the Street and Water
Board; Isaac Romaine, Vice President;
Louis Stubenvoll Secretary. and Con-
rad Schott Jr., Treasurer.
In the Eleventh ward Congressman
Ihomas 1 MeEwan defeated his old
friend (?) John E. Macarthur, and his re-
Gently made enemy. Freeholder Stuhr
Stuhr ran against William D. Gregory for
PRESIDENT. Gregory won by vote of II
TO L. The Congressman came home from
Washington, D. c., to see that his candi-
date was elected The Congressman was
made Vice President; Peer Volckman
Treasurer; William L. Berger, RECORDING
Secretary, and John Mersheimer, Cor
responding Secretary
Immediately after the club organized
Freeholder Stuhr made motion that the
bill doing away with spring elections be
approved. Mr.. McEwan and his follow
ers attacked Stuhr and his motion with
out gloves and defeated it, The Con
gresham then proceeded to rub it into
his enemies by introducing resolution
urging the defeat of the bill abolishing
spring elections on the ground that it IS
disgrace to the Republican party. 1t
was passed.
