jamestown, n. Y, Sept 23-Cries of
woman for help attracted the atten-
ton of three boys in the village of Fal-
coner tonight. The boys ran in the di-
rection whence the cries came and heard
feeble voice saying:
Here l am"
The voice came from a clump of
bushes near the Chautauqua Lake out
let, which runs through the village. The
boys heard some one running through
the bushes. while the woman was found
to have been dragged to the edge of the
water and dropped in. The body was
pulled to the bank, and one of the boys
ran for doctor. When the physician
arrived the woman was dead. Tier face
had been cut from mouth to ear and her
throat cut on both sides. The ground
in the vicinity gave evidences OF a
struggle.
All e1orts to identify the body have
so far been unavailing. 1t is that of Il
young woman about 20 years old. She
weighed about 100 pounds, and is about
five feet four inches in height. Appar-
emily she is a working girl.
Officers are securing the country for
the murderer.
A SENSATIONAL ROBBERY.
City of Mexico. Sept. - e3. IL sensa-
tional robbery occurred yesterday. in

quez, an old woman, So years Of age,
living with her widowed daughter, was
the victim. The women were alorc
and employed no servants, which is
unusual in this country among people
having property. Every one thought
them exceedingly poor, but this was
only apparent, for they had a great sum
of money in the house, there being kept
in a steel box 100000 in bank bills, the
proceeds Of the sale of a hacienda near
this city.
Beside this sum there were many thou
sands of dollars kept in the wardrobes,
i'll stockings or between the leaves of
books. in some way news that the wo-
men had a great amount of money got
to the ears of some men, who came to
the house, and hired large corral at
its rear, for the purpose, the old woman
says, of keeping pigs Their purpose
was robbery, as now appears, and, yes
terday morning. the mother being alone
in the house these men came and on
the pretense of having a message to de-
liver were let in by the old woman, whom
they seized and bound with ropes. They
| then took the steel box with the $4,000
and decomped, but omitted to search for
other money. The women ON being in
terrogated by the police, said they had
| heard that bank clerks had been steal
ing money from banks and they were
afraid to deposit their funds
Many arrests have been made, and the
police are confident they have discovered

Rhodes poiGtedIy indicated THAT some of
the members were practically guilty Of
treason that they were supporters Of
a ministerial party who lives entire.y
on offal and were nothing more than
political scavengers.
He called on the Premier to hold these
IN check.
he departure Of more officers for the
Cape and the denial of the Portuguese
Minister chat Great Britain is to take
Delagoa Bay were the only Developments
I'M the Tlransvaal situation today.
The Cabinet Ministers have left town.
Their action yesterday evoies nothing
noteworthy in the way of comment. The
expectation that their meeting would be
followed by a border outbreak mas SO
far been anfulflled, though the news
from Johannesburg tells of unrest that is
not assuring.
In spite of the Portuguese Minister
denial, there is coed reason TO believe
Great Britain will lease Delagoa Bay.
The most notable among the officers
who sailed today WAS Major General
French. A number of staff officers,
special service officers and war CORE
