Bridgeport. Mystery.
AT WORK ON OLD CLEWS
The Failure of the Perkins ssIdentf-

Initial Aspect-Another story of n
Strange Girl I'm the City Some
Weeks Ago

Bridgeport Conn, Sept. 18-Now that
the body of the unknown woman, which
was taken down to Middleboro by Frank
w. Perkins as his runaway daughter
Grace is on its way back to Bridgeport,
to be buried in the town farm, the police
are again at work on the old clews and
theories.
A description of the body has been sent
all over the East with. the hope that
somewhere may be found some one who
knows of a missing girl answering to the
description.
After the Perkins iasco, the Bridge
port police and the coroner will ask for
very strong evidence before they allow
any grief-stricken father to dig up the
body.
Some weeks ago. it Is now recalled, a
girl one night came to the door of the
building of the Associated Charities for
Industrial Relief. in Main Street, around
the corner from Gilbert Street. She was
not twenty-five years old. Her nose was
aquiline and across her forehead was a
furrow so peculiar that the matron of
the home, Mrs. David " Bibbins, noticed
it the moment the girl raised her head.
The girl seemed nervous an1 careworn
and asked to be cared for for the night
She objected 10 being locked in the
strangers room. as was the custom of
the home. and went TO another institu-
tion and finally came back to spend the
night.
The matron did not wake up during the
night, but in the morning she went TO
the strangers room and found the girl
sleeping. Not long after the matron went
back TO the room and the girl had dis
appeared. Who she was no one knows,
for the matron forgot to take her name.
The girl said her parents were dead and
that she had an aunt in Norwalk, some
twelve miles from here
The matron's husband called at the
morgue when the body was found under
Sea View Avenue bridge and declared
that it must be the body of the young
woman. But when the Middeboro en-
gineer took away the body he thought
he had made a mistake
Now that the body is back again, the
Bibbins think it is worth while trying to
find the girl who slept in the strangers
room and this the police will do.
One interesting thing about the story
is that DIR. Alice Guilford's home Is lust
around the corner from the building
where this unknown girl spent the night,
but, then, at the time the girl was here
DR. Guilford was out of the State, a fugi-
tive and it was not until weeks afterward
that she came back to Bridgeport to live
The police are still trying TO locate the
midwife.

Force Is Decided Upon
As the result of conference between
the President, Acting Secretary Meilsle-
john, and Gen. Miles, it has been decided
that the armies of occupation for the
new possessions shall be:
For Porto Rico, H. 900 troops: for Cuba,
5000: for the Philippines, 10000, and 1900
for Hawaii
After some discussion ii was agreed
that the four armies of occupation should
be made up of both regulars and yolun-
teers. The forces to be sent to Hawaii
and Manila win consist almost entirely
of infantry, while the armies for Cuba
and Porto Rico will embrace cavalry. ar
corps men.

have been stationed in the West, and
were not engaged in the war with Spain.

The fighting Twenty-fourth Colored In
fantry, which lost so many officers and
men at FL Caney, will be sent to Fort
Douglas, Utah. and win not be required
TO go abroad again unless serious
emergency arises.
The order sending the Twenty-four In
fantry to Fort Douglas is regarded as a
victory for Gen. Miles over the War
Department officials, who had decided
that the colored regiment should be en-
ployed as part of the army of occupat ton
in Cuba
a high compliment was paid the Twen-
tyfourth by Col. Ward. In announcing
the order for their transfer to Utah, he
said:
The Twentyfourth has demonstrated
that negroes make as good soldiers as
whites. These men cannot be surpassed
for bravery. They stood to their work
at Santiago like men. We have never
had a whimper from the men of the
Twenty-fourth. nor, in fact. from any
of the negroes.
The members of the Twenty-fourth
after being literally torn 10 pieces dur
ing the battle of Santiago volunteered
TO nurse the yellow fever patients. The
first volunteers, about sixty-five in num-
Der, were themselves stricken down by
the disease. and Immediately another
lot of the same regiment took their place
and not only cared for their own sick,
but nursed others. The Twenty fourth
has made a record for itself which will
stand for all time There are only 800 or

There was my friend Dan Buck. He
had to whistle before he could ask man
for his fare. He used to carry a slate.
and when he got mad he would write his
cuss words on the slate and hand it to
the man he was mad at. He saved time
by it. Dan had run out of Chicago of
about 200 miles. His train picked up
sleeping cars at some cross line in Wis

1t was Dams place to take up tickets in
the sleeper, but there his duty stopped.
1t was the business of the sleeping car
conductor and his partner TO see that
their passengers were put of at the sta
tions for which they were ticketed. One
day Dan found u doctor in the sleeper
who had ticket for the third station

occasion to return to the sleeper untv the

the doctor would not miss his place, for

porter had so understood the conductor.
Dan sat down and filled bo,h sides of
the slate with everything he could think
of that was mean But when he handed
the slate To the porter the latter said he
couldn't read slate writing. That made
Dan madder, and he broke the slate over
the donkey's head.
THE doctor sued the company, OF
course for 5000; they never sue for less.
The company, after looking into the case.
laid Dan off for sixty days. He didn't
know what the time was. He just knew
he had lay-off. He called on the super
intendent to explain more fully. but was
too slow in getting his mouth off, and
that gave the superintendent chance TO
cuss Dan black and blue. Dan never got
in a word, and when the superintendent
got through 1t was time TO close the shop
and Dan had to make train which car
ried him home.
Dan was about forty days getting his
mouth in condition so as to tell the su-

ONE CAUSE.
Why the Hospitals at Camp Wikef
Were Not Ready

CFrom the New York Evening Post)
The reporter was today told of an incl
dent that seems to throw some light on
the causes of the inadequacy of the trans
portation facilities during the early days
of the camp and incidentally, on the
methods in the transportation bureau of
the War Department at Washington 1t
will be recalled that the building of the
hospitals was delayed until there was no
room for the sick, by the lack of mules
and wagons for hauling lumber from the
station to the hospital site; and that
many man went hungry for a day be-
cause there were no teams to haul
rations to the camps The reporter was
told on good authority that Gen. Young
when he first took command of the camp.
estimated the number of teams he would
need and made requisition on the trans
portation department for them.
Your requisition is much too high"
some official in the transportation de-
partment telegraphed: You must cut il
in half" or words to this effect.
Gen Young doubtless thought that he.
who had carefully looked over the
ground, knew the needs better; so he de-
elined to make his requision less. The
transportation department then sent
message something like the following:
Your requisition is too high. Can't let
you have so many 81
No doubt IL entered Gem YoungS mind
again that he knew best. At any rate, i;
is said that he teiegrapEed the depart
ment that as many teams as he hac
asked for would really be needed The
department., it is said, then took the mat
er in its own hands, and sent what wa
yons and mules 1t thought would do A
Eeek or two proved not only that the de-
artments estimate was too low but
nat Gen. Young's requisition was not
7alf high enough. The result was seen
! the overcrowded condi-ion of the hos
ita's when the first few transports had
arrived. f.--
