| BRIDGEPORT. Conn, September IT,
! The news that Miss Perkins had returned
| to her home in Middleboro was received
with incredulity at first, general was
| the belief that the identify of the body
| had been established. That no doubt eX-
listed in the minds of the officials as to
the Identification is apparent from the
fact that the death certificate has been
filed and everything in connection with
the death OF Marian Grace Perkins has
been complied with. Superintendent of
Police Birmingham said tonight: II was
satisfied that the dead woman was not
the original of the photograph exhibited
by Mr.. Perkins, and there were other dis
crepancies, a great many Of them. have
evidence which l cannot divuge that will
play it's part when the time comes.
He would not say anything about DR..
Guilford. whose name has been used in
connection with the case. In the opinion
of Supt. Birmingham, the woman died or
| was murdered last Sunday. Tonight he
has sent out a nofficial description of the
woman. 1t is presumed that the body
will be sent back to this city without de-
lay and buried by the town authorities
At the Perkins home tonight an uncle

1--WE think that Grace and Charles
Bourne have been married, as they
have been off on frequent trips
during the past two or three
months. Grace knew nothing OF the
sensation until yesterday morning when
she read of 1t in the papers. She sent
letter to her mother only ten days ago, but
the latter never received it."
In the evening Miss Perkins herself, az
ter many opportunities. consented to
speak, but all she said was: II am glad
to be here. alive. truly alive, and it is tru-
ly me"
Mr.. Perkins arrived from Taunton about
10 O'Clock, and drove Immediately TO the
Perkins house. The meeting between

Baltimore, Md, September 1.-THE
statement that the control Of the Balti-

to pass out of the hands Of those who
have for so long time been identified
with it and the consequent inference
that Baltimore would probably cease
to be the headquarters of the company,
caused a profound sensation here to-
day, but nothing definite can be learned
as to details and the probable effect
upon the future of the road. Neither
of the receivers has as yet returned

MIDDLEBORO, Mass, September IL
The supposed victim of the Bridgeport
Conn, murder, Miss Marian Grace Per
kins, arrived at her home this afternoon
in perfect health. to the great joy of the
family and the unbounded astonishment
of the entire community.
Her father was not in town, for at the
time of his daughters arrival he was on
his way back from Bridgeport with the
grewsome remains which he identified as
those of Grace and for which the funeral
arrangements, including the digging of
the grave, had already been completed.
Miss Perkins came from Providence, X.
L., and was accompanied by her lover,
Charles Bourne. AT first it was stated
that the couple had been married. This
was afterwards denied by young Bourne
uncle.
So unexpected was the coming of Miss
Perkins and young Bourne that outside of
Mr.. Thompson and one or two friends
who had been previously notified,
there were very few at the railroad sta
ton when the train came In.
The young lady however, was immedi-
ately recognized by the bystanders at the
station and the news spread around the
town with Incredible rapidity.
There was a large crowd at the gate as
the young LADY stepped from the carriage
and ran into the house. Just across the
street from the Perkins house is little
cemetery. and only this morning, in re-
Spouse to the request of the uncle of Miss
Perkins, a grave had been dug by the
sexton in the family lot and the new
earth thrown up beside it could be plainly
seen from the home.
Half an hour after Miss Perkins arrived
home local undertaker's wagon drove
up to the house, and in it was the coffin
which had been ordered by the family.
The funeral arrangements had even
gone so far that the family minister had
been notified and asked to conduct the
services.

SAYS IT WILL BE \ FIT FIGHTING
FORCE.
He has Bent Every Energy to Make 1t
the Best Army Ever Sent Out of the
Country.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2o.-The
City of Picking and the City of Sydney
were ordered by the Navy Depart
ment today to crowd on all steam and
make the best possible time in reach
ing their destination.
The United States has the advant-
age, as the transports taking troops
to Dewey will maintain a greater rate
of speed than the war vessels Spain
is sending from Barcelona.
Should fortune favor the United
States and the transports reach the
harbor of Manila at the earliest posi-
bic moment, there will be but little
time in which to prepare for the
Spanish fleet. Dewey asked for men,
siege guns and ammunition, so that
he might be master of Manila harbor,
so that he might take the city, SO
that Cavite arsenal and other fortifi-
cations commanding the entrance to
the bay might be fortified and effect
ually manned to prevent Spanish re-
Inducements from entering the har-
Dor.
General Merritt believes he is going
to have the fittest fighting force ever
sent out of the country, and he is ac-
cordingly happy. 1t has been decid-
ed to give the greater portion of the
Fourteenth infantry now on the Pa
cific coast. the entire Eighteenth and
Twenty-thrd regiments of infantry.
two batteries from the Third artillery
and four troops of cavalry. The re-
mainder of the expedition will be
made up of volunteers. The depart
ment today also gave orders sending
the battalion of infantry from North
Dakota to San Francisco to join the
expedition.
The department is pushing with all
speed for additional transports, and
has already chartered the Zealandia,
sister ship to the Australia. Six
months supplies go out with the first
expedition and three months supplies
with the&second.
WASHINGTON. May 21.-Major
General Wesley Merritt concluded his
