MURDER OF 4 SERVANT GIRL.
A Tragedy Near Jamestown, N. Y.--The
 Lover Arrested.

Jamestown, N Y, Sept. 24.-The identity of the young woman who was so foully murdered at Falconer last night was proven at o'clock this morn-
 ing by the Rev. F. Martinson, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church, who rec
 ognized the body as that of Miss Emily
 Adolphson, member of his congrega-
 tion. About the same time this dscov-
 cry was made the physicians who were
 conducting the autopsy discovered that
 the girl would have become a mother shortly. This led the officers to believe
 that her lover might have committed
 the deed. They learned that the mur-
 dered girl had been much in the conn pany of young man named Frank
 Vennerholm of this city. At o'clock this morning the police visited Ven- nerholm's boarding house at 305 Wind- sor street and found the young man in bed. A search of the room brought to view a pair of wet trousers covered with mud and blood; vest in the same condition; a pair of shoes and a pair of stockings soaking with water, and in trunk in the closet was found a white shirt with the bosom heavily spattered with blood, together with a handker- chief in the same condition.
 The evidence against the young man was so conclusive that he was at once put under arrest. Early this morning the ground in the vicinity of the place where the murder was committed was thoroughly searched. A pair of gloves and the handle of razor with the blade broken were found. The handle was shown to Vennerholm's brother, who had not been informed of the arrest, and he at once pronounced it the handle of his brothers razor. The morgue where the body of the dead girl lays, the police station where Vennerholm is detained and the scene of the tragedy have been visited by thousands of people to-day. Great excitement prevails, but no trou- ble is feared. The dead girl was a ser want in the family of Charles c. Will son, a prominent citizen of Jamestown, and she bore an excellent reputation. The prisoner Vennerholm was promi- nent among the Swedish young people of the city and he held a position of trust in Mount Tabor lodge of Odd Eel lows.

THE SITUATION UNCHANG ED.
Reasons Tint Prompted Free State to
 Support the Transvaal.

London, Sept 25.-The Transvaal situation presents no new feature. De- spatches from Johannesburg this morn ing report a complete dislocation of the Rand mining industry. The exodus continues and all the mines are closing. The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, pro-Boer or gan, says: Both President Steyn and MT. Fisher (of the Orange Free State executive councils, inform me that the Volksraad is absolutely unanimous that the two republics should stand or fall together. President Steyn said: Sup pose we remain neutral, and the Trans yaal was conquered. It is not likely that we would be long permitted to stand outside British control. Let a rich gold field be discovered and what would become of us?"

DEWEY 1RRA NC EIIENTS COMPI ETE
Only Now Few Minor Details to be
 Settled.

| New York, Sept. 24-The general ar engagements for the reception of Admiral Dewey are completed and there are only few minor details left to be settled. The majority of these cannot be ot- tended to until after the arrival of the admiral and his wishes have been con- suited. All the sub committees have about finished their work and have pre- scented their reports to the general com-
 nittee. The committee on distribution
 of tickets was at work all to-day in the
 mayors office until late into the night.
 They apportioned nearly 10000 tickets
 all there were at their disposal. There
 were applications for more than 100000.
 Their work did not include the distrib-
 ution of tickets to the municipal as
 sembly and the school childrens stands
 These tickets will be at the disposal of
 the municipal legislators and the presi-
 dent of the board of education.
 The committee on stands will hold it's
 final meeting tomorrow and decide eX-
 actly what will be the capacity of the
 new stands. If the committee stands for all the expenditures it has caused it
 will have spent more than $45,000 in ex- cess of the first appropriation made to it of $30,000 and $4000 more than it has in sight, even if the municipal assem- bly, votes to give it the additional $25,000 that is to be asked for at Tuesdays meeting of the board of aldermen and council.
 For the seventy odd thousand expend- ed the committee has furnished about 0000 seats to the ticket committee, A. 900 on the two city hall stands, 5000 for the school children, 10000 for the mu- nicipal assembly and 25000 for the vet erans of the c. A. R.. total of about 40,500 seats for about S74,000.
 Work on the big Dewey triumphal arch is rapidly being pushed, and the arch will be in proper condition in plen- ty of time. To-day while some work men were raising the figure of sailor to the top of pedestal a Broadway car ran against one of the guy ropes of thS derrick, and derrick, statue and work men fell over on top of the car. There was a slight panic among the thou sands of people watching the structure from the sidewalks, but police finally restored order. No one was hurt, and the figure of the sailor was but slightly damaged.
 Secretary Warren Foster received a from Governor DeForest Rich ards of Wyoming asking leave to with draw his previous refusal to participate in the celebration. MT. Foster wired that New York would be pleased to well come him. Concerning the committee of seven that is to attend Admiral Dew ey during his stay in this city, MT. Eos ter said that he had received reply in writing from Chauncey E. Depew and in person from Richard Croker and Nlr. | McAdoo. Mir. Croker said the commit | tee could make any use of him they de- sired and that he was ready to do any thing in his power to help along the sue cess of the celebration. With the ex- | ception of Levi P. Morton and w. c. | Whitney, all the members of the com nittee have accepted. Neither of the ast two has been heard from.

WAR ENTHUSIASM IN LONDON
PRO-BOER MEETING IN TRAF4L-
 GAR SQUARE BROKEN UP.
thousands Attend, but Not to Support It-Groans and Missiles for Speakers Cheers for Chambe erlntn-SO1dier Cnr- rfed About Union Jacks Waved and
 "Rule Britannia" Sung Like Mighty
 Invocation-ResOIu Adopted En-
dorsing Governments Policy.

London, Sept. 24.-The attempt to hold pro-Boer, anti-War demonstra ton in Trafalgar Square, London, this afternoon, resulted in a drastic failure Thousands assembled, but not to sup port the speakers. On the contrary, the crowd waved Union Jacks and sang the national anthem and "Bule Britannia like mighty invocations. The speakers who were quite inaudible, were received with groans, decayed apples and eggs and other missiles. There were cheers for Mr. Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, and misses for Presi- dent Kruger. Some soldiers who were present were carried shoulder high by the crowd. There were several ugly rushes for the platforms which were surrounded by opponents of the demon stration, who yelled fiercely. Finally the mounted police were telephoned for to clear the square. Batons were freely used; several persons were trodden upon by the horses and thirty arrests
 
 were made.
 The list of speakers included no one of special influence, most of them be- ing labor leaders or socialists. The members of the Peace association had no opportunity to address the crowd. They were saluted with execrat tions as soon as they mounted the platform and were obliged to stand, smiling compla- nny,t1 dy,,tr, fIp -i, of tional airs and the wild cheering for MT. Chamberlain. Their attempts to put their resolutions to vote were the merest dumb show. Henry Hyndman, the socialist leader, was particular ob ject of animosity. He was menaced with a forest of walking sticks when he tried to speak. The shouldering of a soldier and a marine, their hands clasped, in a procession around the square, provoked frantic enthusiasm and was an impressive incident, the crowds bursting into the song Soldiers of the Queen On many of the pass ing omnibuses, which carry small Union Jacks, the passengers lifted the flags from their sockets and waved them vigorously. Long before the n- tended hour all the proposed speakers had disappeared.
 The opponents of the meeting finally proposed resolutions in support of the governments policy, which were car ried amid wild enthusiasm. This even- ing the promoters of the demonstration held a meeting in private and after a long discussion carried the following resolutions: Tn consequence of the organized interruption of the anti-war demonstration in Trafalgar Square to- day, fomented by a section of the vel low and stock jobbing press, this com nittee resolves to hold a meeting in one of the largest metropolitan halls at an early date"

The men from the Charleston were the first to reach the beach, but the Concord's men were the first at the gun, which they reached at lilo The cannon was found to be sixteen-centi- metre Krupp gun, presumably obtained from the Spaniards.
 Meanwhile the warships continued to shell the shelving beach on the east and west side to silence the insurgent fire upon the sailors from the trenches skirting the beach Gunner Olsen ex- ploded fifty rounds of guncotton in three discharges in the cannon, which had suffered from the fire from the war ships.
