Murder of TIL Empress
IL Was thu Act of an Anarchist who
Says the Crime Was Committed "FOr
the Sake Of an EV,m "

Geneva, Sept. 1.-THE deepest In
dignation prevails at the act of the Ital-
ian anarchist who assassinated Empress
Elizabeth Of Austria in this city Satur-
day. She was about to board a steam
boat for Caux. France, when she was
murdered. Her suite had preceded
her by train. leaving with her only her
maid Of honor, the Baroness Won Roths-
child, and a man servant. Thus it was
that the murderer was given an oppor-
tunity to carry out the design upon
which he had meditated for two days
The empress was travelling incognitO,
and as a consequence was without the
police protection which would have been
accorded her had the officials of the
department been aware of her presence.
Everything, therefore conspired to give
the assassin full swing in carrying GU;
his purpose. Her majesty was watkins
from her hotel to the landing when n
suddenly approached ana stabbed her t.
the heart. The empress fell, got VI
again, and was carried to the steamer
unconscious. Her last words We're ad-
dressed to the attendants of ~ steam
er Recovering consciousness for a
moment she feebly asked what had
happened.
As yet the authorities have found no
confirmation Of the report that thu muir
der was part of an anarchist conspiracy;
but a dozen persons with whom the as
sassin associated have been arrested for
examination. He maintains cynical
demeanOr and frankly congratulatcs
himself upon the success Of his crime.
He says: Il am an anarchist, but | be-
long to no committee. l acted on my
own initiative. Let them do as they like
with me That is my strength. If all
anarchists did their duty as | have done
mine bourgeois society would soon dis
appear" He admitted that he knew the
crime was useless, but he committed il
for the sake of example" The assassin
said he came to Geneva with the inten-
ton of killing the Duke of orleans, but
| the latter had already left. lie then re-
| turned to Geneva ard, learning from the
| papers of the presence OF the Austrian
| empire SIS, he decided to attack her.

4 Horrible Butchcry
Head and Legs of Woman FOund--Ihe
MutiIated Members Done Up ia n Pack
age and Dropped Into II POnd.

Bridgeport, Sept. 13.-The head and
legs of a woman We're found yesterday
in Yellow Mill river, tributary OF
Long Island sound. by three boys who
were amusing themselves casting stones
from a bridge into the shallow water
The CHASTITY find revealed a crime which
in all it's details rivals the murder OF
Guldensuppe, the victim of Martin
Thorn and Mrs. Mack. The only diff
ference is that instead Of powerful
man, the victim is a young woman
whose tender physique made her easy
prey for the inhuman wretch respon'
sible for her butchery.
One boy picked up a stone and thre"
it overheard. In a moment parce
arose to the surface, the tide at this time
being low. The lads, curious to know
the contents of the package, waded into
the water, and, towing it ashore, GU
it open. Mortified, they uttered cry
and ran back. William Burr who wa!
Passing, stopped and the boys told hin
that the remains of a mutilated body
were in the parcel. Burr opened the
package and found the legs of human
being severed above the knees. 1t die
not take but one glance to see that the
legs were those of a woman. Word was
sent to the police.
Medical Examiner Downes was al
once informed of the discovery, and NJ
Immediately drove to the scene, ant
later communicated with Coroner Doten
Detective Cronin also, by good chance
happened to be in the neighborhood, anc
succeeded in retaining many apparently
trifing articles which will probably b.
of invaluable assistance in working VI
the case. The medical examiner gav'
a permit for the dismembered parts tC
be removed to the morgue, where they
We're taken.
After the head had been cleaned an
made presentable, as far as it was pos
sible on account of its battered comb
ton, photographs were taken for tn
purpose of possible identification. Tw
pictures in different positions were Sc
cured. The result was that 1t is tn
opinion of the authorities that the vic
tim was a person of more than ordinar'
refinement. The features, however
are wan and thin. 1t is surmised tina
the woman was about five Rect 81
inches in height, her hair was pralue
in a manner as usual with many wolhe
before they retire, and was TIED with
cotton cord. A number OF the teet
were white and regular, and some wer
gold-flled while only two or three

shapely. The neck and also the limbs
at the knees and thighs were severed
in a manner showing a clean cutting
OF the flesh, and was clearly done by
some one conversant with anatomy.
and was either a butcher or a medical
person. The authorities are inclined
to believe that one of the former class
was the guilty party.
DR.. Downes stated that the case was
most curious, and one of so many CON
tradlctions that the solution of the mys-
terry promises to be no easy task. In
his opinion the body had been in the
water about "a hours when found. and
ina large knife. had been used t.
dismember the body, as in no place was
the flesh torn. The limbs were sawed
a lelsurely manner and evidently with
apart, but the entire work was done in
much care. as 40 bruises were visibl.
about the head. 1t is the opinion of
the medical examiner that the dealt.
took place at night, from the arrange.
ment of the wOman's hair. and also from
the appearance of the teeth that she had
not lived in plentiful manner of late.
There was also noticed that two
stout cords were wound about the
thighs so tightly as to cut into the flesh.
and it was evident that whoever did the
cutting was DESTROYS to prevent the flow
Of blood. The limbs had one leg of 4
mans cotton drawers. of the kind that
are worn in summer wrapped about
them; it was of good material. but thcr;.
were no marks on it to assist in identi-
fication.

where there is much refuse, by who
ever tried to dispose Of the remains.
All the articles which might assist H.
any way in the ferreting out of the
crime We're taken charge of by the police.
The arms and trunk are still missing, al
though a persistent search was kept up
in the vicinity of the place of the find
ing OF the other portions of the body.
All sorts of theories are afloat. but
not the slightest clue has been obtained.
nor has there been anyone reported to
the police as missing. The place where
the dismembered parts were found is
a very lonely spot, and may be APP
detection. The dentists of the city
have been asked to examine the teeth
to see if any Of them could recognize
the work, which might assist in the
identification.

The average plurality of the Republican
candidate for governor in the last four
off years is u, 2l5. Governor-elect Smiths
plurality thus exceeds the average foi
the time stated by 2I32. His plural
raity is only exceeded by the plurality
given Woodbury. in 1894 essen when
vigorous campaign was conducted by the
Republican state committee. His home
county and Grand Isle county show gain
in the Republican vote over that of 1894,
and these are the only ones.

the late empress of Austria showed that
the weapon of the anarchist completely
transfixed the heart, penetrating three and
one-third inches, and making a wound
one-sixth of an inch wide. The remark
able will power and natural energy of the
empress allowed her to walk so yards after
she had been struck.
The body of the empress, enclosed in a
triple coffin, has been placed in a room
hung with black draperies. A Sister of

An imposing demonstration of sympathy
by the federal council began at neon. The

Rig Fire In Livermorr Falls, We.

Portland, Me. Sept. 1O.-Word was re-
ceived here at noon that big fire is rag
ing at Livermore Falls, and that aid has
been asked for from many towns.
Later dispatches state that the fire ragged
four hours and destroyed the greater pari
of the business section of the town. Il
blotted out a number OF industries, levelcd
a dozen stores, 20 business buildings and
many dwellings. Ii was caused by a hot
box in the new saw mill OF the Interna-
tiopal Paper company. y high west wind
sent the flames into an immense lumber
pile, and from there the tire spread to
surrounding property. There was only
one engine in the town aud this soon
broke down, and assistance was asked
from other towns.
After burning the pulp mills and leather
board plant of the paper company, grist
and planning mills, the flames leaped across
Main street, burned the large wooden ma
chine shops there and made a clean sweep
down to Depot street The fire then turned
down that street and swept all before it.
The work of the hrcmen was OF no
avail The men were driven away from
the machines by the intense heat and one
engine was partially destroyed by the fire.
! Two dwelling houses were blown up with
! dynamite in a fruitless effort to save the
! Riverside House, which took fire and
burned fiercely.
SO far as now known only one life was
lost, that of a -year-old child left in It's
crib in house where the confagratior
was at its height.
While the contllgration was in progress
fire was discovered in the Grand View
House some distance away. This was
thought to be incendiary, and was soon ex
tinguished.
