The Bridrcnort Mystery.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Sept. 13-The
trunk of the young woman whose body
was cut and sawed into pieces and
thrown into the river was found to-day.
The body is now completed, head, legs
and trunk. The trunk was found only
q short distance from where the head
aud legs were discovered yesterday
The trunk, as were the head and
legs, was wrapped in white rubber
cloth and was weighted with stones
rne stomach and intestines were miss
lug, and it was evident that the work
had heen performed by skilled
hand. There are no means of know
ing now how the woman met her death
out the belief prevails that al operation
vas performed on her before she died
that she died as a result of the opera
ton, and that her body was then cut UP
50 that it could be more easily disposed
Of. The features are not mutilated but
so far no one has appeared who ever
saw the woman alive. The woman was
what is usually known as thin featured
and rather good looking.
The murdered girl was identified this ev-
ening by local doctor as Rachel Warner, q
professional nurse. This Identification has
not yet been made complete, however Liz.
ze Baccigilupo of Hoboken, also identified
the body as that of her neice, Amelia Anstey,
but this Identification proved false.

THR-Lamb-Wise wing ofthe Virgins

THE-Lamb-Wise wing ofthe Virginia
republicans, that is the anti organiza
ton wing, are famous for drawing their
COMPARISONS from the crustacean order
of animal life. Mr.. John Wise, 1t VIII
be remembered, compared Mr.. Bowden,
a member of the regular organization OF
his party, to Hampton crab, and yes
terday, Colonel Lamb compared the
whole republican parry in his State to
a basket of the same animals, which, as
is we'll known fight, bite and claw each
other till TOO weak to do SO any longer.
But the Colonel should remember what
Mr.. Wise once said about Southern re-
publicaus, and know that when the
spoils are few and the spoilsmen many
there must be quarreling and fighting.

To what greater extent they will be
