A NEW BOND ISSUE.
The Telephone Company Desires
Funds for improvements.


Funds for improvements.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company has decided to make a second
issue of bonds of S1.500,OO0 as was
stated exclusively in The Times yester-
day. The bonds viii be used in re-
tiring the present bonds of the company,
OF which there are about $500,00O out
standing. and in providing funds for ex-
tensive improvements to be begin in a
short time. A portion of the issue, about
$500, 900, it is said, viii be retained in the
treasury of the company TO provide future
funds as they are needed.
The issue will be 5 per cent 1890 gold
bonds. 1t viii be a first mortgage on the
property Of the company, except for the
present outstanding issue to be redeemed
by it. 1t is provided that the bonds shall
run for ten years and that thereafter the
company may, as it sees fit. redeem any
part of the issue at 103. 1t is said by
those interested in local securities that
the bond will be more attractive invest
ment than the present one, because ii may
not be redeemed within the first ten years,
whereas the present issue was redeemable
according TO its face at 102 at any time,
which prevented its selling much above
that price.
sinking fund OF per cent year is tc
be provided by the company for the pay
ment of the issue. The American Security
and Trust Company is understood to be
the trustee of the bonds.
1t was said yesterday by gentleman IA
miliar with the proposed issue that 1t will
be made Immediately. and that syndi-
cate of local capitalists viii subscribe fol
all of the issue that is 10 be sold at this
I time. 1t is thought probable that the syn
/ dicate viii place it on the market later. A
meeting of the directors of the telephone
/ company is TO take place on Friday, and /

may be made regarding the issue at tha

A Unique Device in Pipes.

A most ingeniously constructed tobacco
smoking pipe, of recent pattern. has just
been brought to the notice of The Times,
which fully merits the attention of smok

possesses all the requisite qualities that
have been long looked for

MORE FRAGMENTS FOUND.
Police Gradually Piecing Together
the Murdered WOman's Body.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-Another portion
of the body of the woman who was mur-
dered somewhere in this city last week
and fragments of whose body were found
on Saturday, was fshed up in the lower
bay about 200 yards west of the quarantine
station on Staten Island this morning. 1t
was floating short distance from shore
and its character was easily discerned, for
the action of the water had removed all
but two or three scraps of the mani
paper and newspaper in which it had been
wrapped The fragment was tie upper
portion of the trunk of the body, and when
brought to the morgue in this borough
later in the day. it fitted exactly the low
er portion of the trunk, which was found
in the North River, at the foot of West
Eighteenth Street, on Saturday night.
1t had been cut. hacked, and sawed in
much the same way as the other frag-
ments, and ground into the flesh was
great deal OF dirt, coal dust having been
found in the packages in which the otner
fragments were wrapped The hnding Oh
this section of the body leaves only the
head, arms, and lower legs unaccounted
for. Today's search of all ash heaps IN
this city and bay, where much OF the re-
fuse of the city is taken, failed to discover
the right thigh, which Mrs. Billings, the
ianitress of 221 West Fifteenth Street. says
she saw in an ash barrel in front of that
address on Friday morning, but the po-
lice are confident that this portion Will be
found in time and they have marked 1t
accounted fer" on their diagram.
Two men were locked up in the West
Twentieth Street police station today, and
opposite the name of each on the station
house blotter is written suspicious char
acter." The police denied that any arrests
had been made in the case, but there are
circumstances surrounding the arrests
mentioned which indicate that the men
are in custody because of supposed con-
nection with the murder

An unaecIded Question About schlev

There is a rumor that Admiral Schley may not
take the South Atlantic Squadron after all. The
theory is that the repairs to the Chicago, which
to the Philippines, Will not be finished until
about the time Congress meets in December.
Should the old dispute concerning Schley ana
Sampson be reopened in that body. not the
Navy Department would have the temerity to
send the hero of Santiago off just at the time
while Sampson was left 10 have his say. II is an
undecided question whether Schley will command
the South Atlantic Squadron before he retires;
the question is different as to the most popular
beer in Washington. Go down town and ask
your friend il he wants glass OF beer and he
will always say yes-a glass OF Heurichs.
