CRIPPLED GIRL MURDERED.
Dreadful Crime Brought to Light In Salem
Yesterday.

Salem, Mass, April 10.-The body o.
Fannie Geary, a cripple, 1s years old
was found in the woods near the Peabody
line at six O'Clock tonight, with every
indication that she has been brutally
murdered not many hours before. The
head was horribly mangled while the
clothes of the unfort unate girl were
soaked in blood.
The rain had obliterated nearly every
trace of the girls assailant so that the
police have scarcely any clew to the perpe'
traitor of the crime
The girl lived with her father in a
small cottage about a quarter of a mile
from where her body was found.
With them lived young man named
Thomas Ducey. nephew Of MIR. Geary,
but who is said to be weak minded. The
girl left the house shortly after noon for
q walk and for o few hours nothing was
tn ought of her absence. Toward night,
however, her father became anxious and
sent young Ducey to find her. He re-
turned in about halt an hour and told his
uncle that Fannie WAS lying dead in the
woods and the two then hurried to the
spot where her body was found.
The body was removed TO tina house of
Mr. Geary, but no autopsy will be made
until tomorrow -
No one saw the girl enter the woods
this noon neither has anyone Eeen found
who notice any other p rson in that
vicinity during the afternoon. Miss
Geary had very pretty laco and was
favorite among her acquaintances. She
was 1S years old and had kept house for
her father since the death of her mother
q few years ago.

M. Cloutier, who has been missing since
the evening of March Goth, was found at
the end of the Continental canal Sunday
morning at about, O'Clock by Joseph
Therrien and David Grenier.
The last time that MIR. Cloutier was
seen alive was. about 10 O'Clock on the
evening of March goth. At 1l.30 that
evsning he was met by his friend and as
sociate, Frank L Heur. They talked over
some plans for the future as they were
wont to do and separated, Mr. L'Heur
going home and Mr.. Cloutier going down
to Robert Wiseman's lunch room. Here
he ate hearty supper and took his
leave. That rs far as is known is the
last time he was ever seen alive. Joseph
.Cloutier, the father of the dead man,
comes forward with story and says there
Is man in Lewiston who on the fatal
evening of the Goth. overheard two men
speaking and he also knows who the men
were They made remark something
like this: t
"The next time people see Cloutier will
be in the canal
The man that overheard this surpris-
ing talk has been summoned as witness
today, and II is expected tina some SEN
sational developments will be made.
The body was quite badly decomposeS
the eyes were blaokened, the nose was
twisted to one side. However, these ap'
pearances might be caused by lying in
the water and the physicians say that
tney do not necessarily imply anything;
but Joseph Cloutier is Of different turn

MUST CHANGE TACTICS.
Lewiston Police Attempt to Deal with
Law Breakers.
ESPECIAL 70 THE fREss,I


Lewiston. April l0.-Those who did moi
lay in supply the night before were
not able to set up the drinks and cigars
for their friends today, this being the
result of q new order that has been issued
by the police in this city.
During the time the old city govern
ment was shaking off the harness and
the new assuming the reins of authority
the prohibition law was not enforced
as strictly az the disciples of Neal Dow
might Lwish. During these three or four
weeks bar rooms and disreputable places
sprung up like mushrooms and were
about as numerous. In several places the
people at the head carried the matter so
far that even on the most swell streets
these houses opened mp.
The police have had the matter under
advisement for some little time and dur
ing the latter part of last week issued an
order to the bar keepers that the bar
rooms must all be shut up at 10 O'CLOCK
in the evening and closed all day Sundays
In addition to this orders were issued
too the tobacco store keepers that they
must close their places OF business Sun
days.
In the latter class several of the proprie-
tors had taken out victualer's licenses
In order to keep up this show they have
been in the habit of laying in stock of
doughnuts and cookies. At the same
time the soda fountains have continued
to fizz in summer. In the winter the
cigar sales have taken the place of the
soda.
Sunday the new order was given out
that the stock OF doughnuts would not
cover the requirements of victualer's s
license and the order has been issued to
close all day. The only exception made
is to those places where strict lunch
room is run.
In accordance with the new laws that
have been issued and the open violation
Lewiston saw decidedly dry Sunday
except in tie kitchen bar rooms. In these
places the proprietors simply laugh at
the new orders but at the same time keep
the contraband goods in a place where
there is little danger of large loss in
case of raid.
So many iisreputable places have
sprung up of late the officers started in
Saturday night and made several raids
but in only one place were they success
full. That was at the City hotel. At
tempts were made to raid other places
but without success.

Enormous crowds going to and coming
from the bull fight, passed within easy
sight Of Gen. Woodford's house. Large
reinforcement Of police snd civil guards
were posted near and also in front of the
Bank OF Spain and other public build
ings. An incident happened about 7
O'Clock this evening, showing that those
measures were necessary. A boisterous
crowd, heated by wine and the excite
ment OF the bull fight, encountered a
general, who was wearing a scarf of the
national colors. The crowd Immediately
raised cries of "Viva Espana, Viva
Cuba, ''.Eand for thess luoment it looked
dangerous should anyone have raised a
seditious cry. The crowd was dissolved
and the locality soon resumed its ordi-
nary appearance.

PLOT TO KILL LEE.
Spanish Detectives Said to Have Frustrate


One in Havana.
Havana, via Key West. April TO-
Havana is guarded more closely than
ever, the Arelas battalion being posted
around the limits of Vidano, the swell
suburb of the city.
Within the last two days number OF
Cubans have been arrested and are now
confined in the Cabanas fortress charged
with various offenses. Some say the
prisoners have been engaged in a plot to
tssassinate United States Consul General
Lee and others assert that they have been
acting as spies for the United States gov
ernment There is no doubt that the
Spanish government is more alarmed
than it has ever been befor and is TAX
ing every precaution. There is reason to
believe that there was plot to kill Gen.
erals Lee and it was allowed to come to
head by the Spanish detectives, in order
that they might get credit for frustrating
it.
AL sorts of rumors were in circulation
yesterday and there was no trouble what
ever in hearing any kind Of story and
finding a dozen Of the men to swear to
the truth. The real impression among
newspaper men was that General Lees
withdrawal was shrewd move intended
to show Spain that the United States
means business. In the palace kilograms
were shown that, the Queen Regent had
agreed upon the intervention of Russia,
would accept S25, 1000, 600 for Cuba and
end the war and withdraw her flag.

crease the horrors of the avalanche, in the

Sixty mine dead bodies have thus far

some of these had succeeded in crossing
the pass before the avalanche occurred.
A conservative estimate is that between
rs and 100 persons were killed.
