GnuEsOME FIND AT BRIDGEPORT
Portions of a WOman's Body Found
on Mud Flats.

Bridgeport, Conn. Sept 1.-Two pack
ages, containing portions of a womans
body, were found to-day on Mud fats. an
arm of Yellow Mil pond. In the packages
were the head of a woman cut from the
body near the ear. and the lower limbs.
which had been separated from the body.
unjonted and cut in two at the knees,
then tied together again and wrapped in
a strong glazed paper.
The head OF the woman was battered
and damned on one side and had cloth
tied over the mouth.
The head is thought to be of a woman
about % years old and about feet inches
in hight. Her features were wan and
thin, hair dark brown and braided in
manner usual with many women before
they retire, and was tied with a cotton
cord. A number of the teeth were white
and regular, and some were gold filed,
while only two or three in the back of the
mouth were missing. The eyes were grey
ish blue. The pronounced characteristic
of the face is the short aquiline nose.
The feet are small and shapey The
neck and also the limbs at the knees and
thighs were served In manner showing
clean cutting of the flesh and was
clearly done by some one conversant with
anatomy. AT no place was the flesh torn.
The limbs were sawed apart but the en-
tire work was done in a leisurely man
ner, and evidently with much care, as no
bruises We're visible about the head 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 also had one leg of a mans
cotton drawers wrapped around them. Two
stones. WEIGHING 9hOnt dc oh
were attached to the bundle. They were
black and grimy, and discolored from be-
ing in the water some time, and they were
undoubtedly taken from near the shore.

Cold Coins In the World.
From London Ttt-Bits.

1t Will probably be shock to many to
learn that all the gold coins current
throughout the world could be comforta-
bly, slowed away in any one of thousands
Of English drawing rooms.
A careful estimate of the gold currency
of the world places its amount at f775 900, =
coo. Although this enormous sum will
probably exceed our entire national reve-
nue. for the next seven years, it could, if
converted into English sovereigns, be plac-
ed IN a room thirty-three feet long, thirty
feet wide and twenty feet high.
The process of packing the sovereigns
would, indeed, be a labor of time and in
finite patience. If the sovereigns were
placed in position at the rate of one a sec
ond, working for eight hours a day a
child OF 8, commencing the task to-day,
would see his S0th birthday before the last
sovereign was in position and the door
could be locked.
To convey this gold to its strong room
would require the utmost strength OF 900
horses, which would have to pull weight
of 5951 tons.
The sovereigns thus accumulated would
make a golden carpet for the whole Of
ST. James Park, with remnant of 2-3
acres to spare; and II placed edge to edge.
they would form a footpath of gold, Six
inches wide, between London and Constan-
tinople.

Second District-Nelson Dingley of Lew

terest, with an apparent desire to make
a better showing than in 1894 or 1896, put
some vim into the campaign, the result
OF which was seen in nearly every town.
The falling off of the Republican vote
was, however, anticipated by the party
managers, and, while il was somewhat
lower than they anticipated, it gave them
no anxiety, and the loyal men of the
party readily explained il.
While the Democratic vote kept up well
Win that of the last off year 1894, il must
be remembered that the vote that year was
a failing off of 1900 from the vote of the
previous Off year, 1890
The state elected a solid Republican del

men, all of whom have attained national
reputation, had little or no opposition. al
though, strangely enough, Speaker Reed
had vigorous opponent in his district.
HIS margin over Mckinley, who ran on
the Democratic ticket, was however, about
the same as that of 1894, and showed the
usual loyalty on the part of his conslitu-
ent=.
Mr.. DingIey. whose majority exceeds
1900, did not make speech during the
campaign, combining his efforts to confer
ence with the committees in the different
shore towns. The other two congressman.
Boutelle and Burleigh, did even less.

HAVANA BAPTlSTS STARVING.
FIVE HUNDRED IN THAT CITY BE-
YOND CHURCH RELIEF.

E0tortIonate Duties on Supplies
Make Their Relief Impossible to
baptist AssOciatiOn-Dr. TichenOr
Puts the Matter Before Ministers
Mt AtIanta--The Association to APP
neal to the state Department for a
solution Whereby Supplies May BE
Taken to the Suffering Baptists in
Havana.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 12-Dr. L T. Itch
ener, secretary of the Home Mission Board
of the South Baptist convention, appear
81 before a meeting of the local Baptist
ministers yesterday, and in presenting the
condition of mission work in Cuba, stated
that there are 800 Baptists in the city of
Havana who are literally starving to
death.
His board, he said, had no means of
meeting this emergency because of the reg
ulation in force at Havana which practi-
cally prohibits the entrance of supplies
The Spanish laws are still in force in Cuba
and the duties imposed are such as to pre-
clude the practicability of the mission
board furnishing the relief which it would
otherwise make haste TO do.
Dr. Tichener addressed the situation of
length with ministers, and ii was decided
that an appeal should be made to the state
department and see if arrangements
couldn't be made to enter such supplies
at Havana without duties.
Dr. Jameson and one of the ministers
suggested that the war department be ask
ed to use a gunboat to carry supplies to
the suffering Baptists.
DR.. Tichener stated, by way of illusttrat-
ting The situation, that recently one of the
Red Cross relief ships with supplies for
the suffering people of Havana returned
without unloading, for the Spanish offl-
Gals demanded duties amounting to $780,
OOO This tax, he said, made il useless for
the mission board to undertake to relieve
the suffering people, unless a modification
Of Spanish customs laws could be secured
through the state department

FLORIDA TRAINING SCHOOLS.
State superintendent Sheats Highly
Gratihed at Their Success.

Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 12.-The summer
training schools for Florida teachers have
been a wonderful success this year, and
State Superintendent sheats is highly
gratified thereat. He has made an ex-
haustive report of their operations and
benefits to DR.. j. L. M. Curry of the
Peabody fund. from which the following
data is gathered:
The total enrolment in the twenty-four
schools was 1,O26; whites, 1888; negroes 29S;
the former being SO per cent. and the lat
ter 46 per cent of all the teachers employ
ed in the state during the year 1897.
The enrolment for 1898 exceeded that of
1897 by 4S per cent, 1897 by 60 per cent,
and 1895 by 102 per cent.
The average daily attendance upon all
the schools was 678-4S4 whites and 1874 ne
groes. The number of actual teachers i'm
attendance was 687-492 whites and 1876 ne
groes. Those intending 10 become teach
ers numbered 1924 whites and 9S ne
groes.
The teachers present in these schools
held certificates as follows: First grade.
30 whites and negroes; second grade POI
whites and 70 negroes; third grade 122
whites ana SO negroes; students holding
no certificates, $50 whites and 1874 negroes;
nut they We're preparing for the autumn
examinations, with the intention of becom-
ing teachers.
Students attended these schools from
every county in the state except two Lib
erty and Lafayette.
The fund provided for these schools con-
sisted of a balance of $2S5.S0; Peabody do
nation for 1893, $l,20O; appropriated by the
state, 5000, aggregating 81 1880 of which
&,43S.9S, was expended, 4,317.5O going for
salaries of instructors
This year several school boards, after
the location of summer schools had been
determined, decided to begin the county
schools, thereby preventing the attendance
Of some who desired and would have at
tended the teachers schools. Any school
board asking the location of a teachers
summer training school in it's county In
the future, win be required to make a
pledge not to open the pubic schools until
the teachers school, is closed. If this con-
tract be broken, the teachers school will
not be held or win be promptly closed If
in operation. Ii does not admit of question
that the attendance of many teachers was
prevented by want of proper cooperation
on the part Of few school boards

Sept. 12.-The entire attention of the Il. 600
soldiers still at Camp Wikoff is now di-
rected toward the latest developments in
regard to the abandonment of the camp
here, and their removal to the barracks
occupied by them before the commence
ment of the war.
Gen. Bates orders are to get all the
troops away from here as soon as posi-
bic, but according to a statement made by
him to-day he is not informed of the
means of transportation to be provided by

may be necessary to remove the troops.
The troops now here comprise seventeen
regiments of infantry, seven regiments of
cavalry six batteries of light artillery,
four batteries of heavy artillery, and six
companies of the Signal Corps.
Great activity is being displayed by the
medical department to free the hospitals
here of all patients who can possibly be
removed. Between 800 and 400 sick were
sent to New York and Brooklyn hospitals
on Sunday.
The army hospital boat Relief arrived
here from New York this morning, and
