A MURDER MYSTERY.
Parts of Woman's Body Found In the
North River.


The mystery surrounding the identity
of the mutilated woman, portions of
whose body were found in West Seven
teenth street, New York city, and in
the North river on Saturday, Is still un-
solved. Several men and women have
positively identified the dismembered por-
lions of the body which are still at the
morgue, but so far those identifcations
have been without results, and it is be-
lieved that the persons making the iden-
ti6cation have been mistaken in the mat
ter.
Police Captain Price is of the opin-
ion that the authorities are confronted
with problem more difficult of solution
than the Guldensuppe murder. DR.. AL
bert T. Weston, coroner's physician, is
firmly convinced that the case is a repe-
tition of the famous White Chapel muir
ders of London. The body of the victim
has been mutilated in identically the
same manner as were the unfortunates
in the London crimes, certain organs be-
ing missing from the portions found, and
this, with other minor features leads DIR.
Weston to arrive at this opinion. The
doctor said the lungs were normal, but
that the victim had been afflicted with a
touch of pleurisy.
So important is the case considered by
the authorities that it has been trans
ferred from Captain Price to Chief OF
Detectives McCluskey by order of Chief
Devery.
Agent Greene Sails For England.
Cape Town, Oct 20.--Mr. Conyngham
Greene, the former British agent at Pre-

sHAKE-UP IN MASONIC HOME,

The agitation for Investigations in
New Jersey has reached the Masonic
Home, just outside of Burlington.
The home committee of the Grand
Lodge of New Jersey on Monday made
a secret investigation. Among the
members who participated were Past
Grand Masters Fortmeyer, of Orange,
and Moore, of Jersey City. The
charges that are made are all of a
trif1ing character, but there are
enough of them to indicate that the
officers of the home are not working
together in harmony. Those residing
in the home allege favoritism. A
member Of the home committee said
last night "These fault-finders are
getting too numerous in the home.
We gave the home a shake-up, and
there will be no more fault-inding. "
