Austrian Unfortunate Bears q More Noble
Name Here In Death Than In Life.
The body Of tho young Austrian woman who
died on Saturday az 2Ol West Thirty eighth
street was emhnlmed Yesterday and. swathed
in disinfectinR bandaRes. lay In an icebox in
the rear Of an underiakcr's shop at Bedford
and Carmine streets. A dim light burned In
the room where the body rested, while the I'M
dertaker sat in the front OF the oflce with his
English setter.
The so-called Baron de LANCE met the under
taker by appointment at the st. Nicholas Club.
In West Forty-fourth street. At the club It was
said last night that the Austrian nobleman had
gone to reside elsewhere. and that no one there
knew where ho could be found. II was added
that he was anxious to avoid further notoriety
IN connection with the case.
When the Baron went TO the West Thirty
seventh street police station on Saturday and
told about the death of the young woman and
his determination to hunt down and punish
the man who had brought her to this country
and abandoned hor to a life Of shame. he ap-
pnrently thought the secret would be buried In
the police bureaus us 1t would be in Vienna.
After he had reud the newspaper accounts OF
the matter yesterday he announced his inten-
ton OF going to the Austro-H Hungarian Consult
General to see IL some action could not be
taken against the newspapers for publishing
The Consul General was out OF town. and
some OF his friends advised the Baron to keep
quiet. as the affair would thus be soonest for
gotten.
The Baron told the undertaken that he had
not decided whether to have the young woman
buried In this country or to ship her body to
her former home in Austria. He said he had
cabled to. tho young woman's relatives. and
was awaiting an answer before finally deciding.
In the West Thirty-seventh street station
house yesterday was a trunk tagged Lille
Barnet" 1t was the name the young woman
was known by in those places in the Tenderloin
which she freluented aud in the lodging house
in which she died. In the trunk were clothing
of good material, some Jewelry and trinketS. A
photograph OF. herself and one OF a man were
also found in IL.
The Baron, who is about 50 years old, in
formed Police Captain Halpin that the second
photograph was that of the young woman'S
brother, who was n friend Of his, with whom
he had frequently gone hunting,
He. knew the young woman when she was 9
child. the Captain added; and told ne he had
love with her, and intended to reclaim her
from q hayward life and marry her"
But little was known about the woman in the
house where she lived for the past six months.
She always paid her. rent for her lodging
promptly and did not have much to say. prob
ably because her knowledge OF, English was
limited. One of the women in the house said
that she understood that Lille" came Of o
good Austrian family, but was neither a bar
onesS nor u viscOuntess.
The inscription on the plate OF the. casket
prepared for the young woman reads: Wanda
Won Speno Bodenbach."

KAToNAH, N. Y, Aug. 28.-For some time
the farmers in the northern part Of Westches-

ens and ducks by the visits OF an unidentified
animal TO their poultry yards. The thief could
always DO traced by the wide trail OF relics OF
destruction which he left in his travels. Ell
forts to scare him ava or catch him were in
efTectual. On Wednesday morning George
Cozzens and Austin Blake OF Croton Dam
found the unfamiliar tracks Of a wild animal
leading from Thomas Burns's barn into the
woods. Mr.. Burns had lost nine puliets and
two ducks the night before and was in a mood
for investigation when they took the news OF
the strange tracks to him, The three men
armed themselves and followed the tracks into
the woods. Here the footprints were lost. but
feathers and fragments OF the chickens showed
them the right track. They went only a short

An Unknown Poisoner Causes Havoc on tho

A dog p~oisoner was abroad in West Ninety

result three valuable dogs are dead. The dogs
were poisoned between 8 and 10 o'clock, and
all exhibited symptoms Of strychnIne poison

1t is thought that the poison was given to the
dogs by some one familiar with the neighbour

fS'F $50


Mayor Van Wyck makes few mistakes;
but he has made mistake in reducing
the appropriation for public schools. The
press of New York is unanimous upon
this subject, and 50 are the people. Econ
omy is excellent in itself and as an cleo
ton cry; but the tax payers do not want
to be eeono mical in educational matters.
They understand that, for every dollar ex-
pended upon schools, thousand dollars
are saved in courts and prisons. Nothing
could make Mayor Van Vyck more popu-
lar than the proud statement: 81 have ex-
pended more money upon public schools
than any other Mayor" But if he can
only say: II have saved you money by de-
priving some of your children of an edu-
cation,'' he will find himself most unpop-
ular. hope that Mayor Van Wyck, who
has so often shown that he has mind
will now be wise enough to change it.
