Vaudeville household Mrs. Vanderbilt
was generosity itself to them, and took
her friend on long yachting excursions
during the yachting season. 1t was doubt
ed al that time if the generous New York
society women distinguished between her
own plenty aud that of her friend, for both
shared-and shared alike-in all Injuries.
just al this time a daughter was born
to Mrs Willy X. Vanderbilt, and in com
pliment to her friend she named il Consue-
la. little later the Viscountess was bless
cd with twin girls and to return the COM
pliment she named one of them Alya after
Mrs. Willy X. So each of these dear
friends had a daughter named after the
other.
But soon, in some mysterious way. a
GOODNESS sprung up between these two
friends as coolnesses will. IL happened
during a long visit 10 New York when the
Viscountess made her home with her chill
dren, in he palatal mansion of Mrs. Willy
X. Vanderbilt on Fifth avenue. The de-
tails of the trouble were never known,
but it was certain that Mrs. Willy x. and
the Viscountess quarreled violently, and
that the next day the Niscountess went
back to England, taking with her her
children, her trunks and her troubles
It is certain also that the two had some
serious trouble for in all the years since,
they have never spoken.
On her return to London began again
the reign of the Viscountess as a London
beauty In 1890 the old Duke of Manches-
ter died and the ViscounC Vaudeville sue
ceeded 10 the title of the Duke of Man
chester. He had little upon which TO sup
port it, but-his wife managed so well that
it appeared much greater than it was.
The Niscount lived only two years after
he became the eighth Duke of Manchester,
and in 1892 he died leaving a beautiful and
still youthful widow and three children,
William Angus DroSo, Jacqueline Monta-
gu, and Lady Alva MOntagu. Lady Alva
died shortly after, at the age of IS, and
was brought from Niece to France in VIII
ly X Vanderbilt yacht so it will be seen
that although Mrs. Willy K. and the
Duchess had fallen out, William K. Van
derbilt and the Duchess of Manchester
were still on good terms.
His yacht escorted the funeral coItege of
Lady Alva from Niece TO France, and af
ter the sad occasion the yacht was placed
at the disposal of the Duchess Of Manches-
ter for a cruise on which she and her
weeping children might regain their health
and spirits.
But the star of the Duchess of Manches-
ter had passed its ascendeucy. Mlsfor

STRANGLER'S CRUEL DEED.
Killed a Little Boy and Covered His
Corpse With Leaves.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., June THE
discovery OF the inhuman murder of a
bright little boy, quickly followed by the
capture of his supposed slayer. 80 In
famed the people of Somers Point to-day
that plans were openly laid to take the
prisoner from the jail and lynch him.
Mayor Higbee frustrated the design
however, by covertly removing the man
to the county Jail, at Mays Landing.
The crime was one of the most pitiaole
on record. The little victim was Japhet
Connolly, ten years old, and the only son
OF Captain Ephraim Connolly. we'll
known resident of Somers Point. The
man arrested for his murder gives his
name as William O'Mara. twenty-seven
years old. a tramp musician. who says
mis- home Is in Yonkers, n. Y.
Yesterday OiMara and the boy were
seen together on the road leading 10
Braddocks Station. In the afternoon the
musician was seen alone at Somers Point.
As the boy did not return home toward
evening a search was made for O Mara
10 learn where ne left the lad. But the
tramp had DISAPPEARED. The hunting par
ty traced him TO Lnwood. where he was
arrested. He said he had parted with
the boy in the afternoon, and could not
tell what had become OF him.
A party OF citizens had started out 10
search for the lost boz. They secured
the woods and fields all night, but got no
trace OF him. OMara had been seen
coming out OF New Jersey avenue, short
distance from the West Jersey and Sea-
shore railroad roundhouse last night.
To-day the searching party directed their
efforts to the woods in that vicinity. Az
80 O'Clock this afternoon they came
upon a mound of leaves in clearing. Inc
leaves were brushed aside, and there lay
the corpse of the missing lad.
The boy had been dead several hours.
and his end had been caused by strargu-
lation. His cruel slayer had torn the shirt
from the child's back and bound II tightly
about the throat. So firmly was IT tied
that the flesh was wrapped and twisted
I'm the folds Of the cloth and had TO be
cut away An examination quickly show
ed that the boy had been killed to hide
another hideous crime. Underneath the
corpse was discovered a black necktie
and a pipe, the later being identified by
one OF the party as that SOLD 10 y Mara
yesterday morning.
The body was taken 70 Somers' Point.
and Coroner Mclaughlin, Of this city.
viewed It and appointed Saturday for
the holding of the inquest.
At the preliminary airing, held by
Mayor Hlgbee, O'Mara was told that
COnnelly's body had been found and ask
ed what plea ne had TO make lie simply
said: 81 suppose 1 might be guilty; l
can't say"
There were many threats OF setting fire
20 the jail or of taking the prisoner out
and hanging him. Mayor Higbee, fearing
that an effort might be made to put the
threat into execution. at dusk drove tho
prisoner 10 the county seat, accompa-
MED by a constable. O'Mara was in this
city last week, but the police ordered
him out Of town as a drunken vagrant-
