THE MISSING LINK FOUND
Part Of the Body of the Woman Butch.
cred In New York Recovered.
WAS ON BEACH AT QUARANTINE

line to the Neck.
APPEARANCE OF THE FLESH IS FRESH

New York, Oct. 10. The upper part

beach at Quarantine at Z o'clock, this
morning by John Heineman, 12 years
old. This portion of the body is from
the waist line to the neck. The ap-
pearance of the flesh is fresh. The find
was tied up with twine, and pieces of
manila paper and newspaper chung to
the twine. Over the right breast is a
cut about two inches long, but DIR.
Doty, the State health officer, says it
is merely a flesh wound, and probably
was inflicted while cutting the body
in pieces. The doctor says this portion
OF the body is the upper part Of a
young woman who had never been a
mother. The part were the head is cut
off is quite Jagged, and the head was
evidently hacked off. The arms were
cut off close to the shoulders, and were
also cut off in clumsy manner.
The first portion of the body was
picked up on Seventeenth street near
Seventh avenue, and is the left thigh
from few inches above the knee to the
waist.
The second part. which was recovered
from the river. is the left loin, and this
fits upon the upper portion OF that
found on the street.
The description of the find at Quar-
antine indicates that the trunk of the
body is now complete. The latest found
part has not yet been brought to the
morgue, where the other parts are kept,

mended long term of absolute rest
and quiet.
''It is understood that steps will be
taken by interested friends to cancel

Decision In Case In winch L. Fl. Miller an,

Decision In Case In Winch L. II. Miller and
Francis u. HoffecKer We're Interested.
Justice Dean handed down an
opinion in tho Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, Saturday, reversing the
Judgment of the Common Pleas Court
of Lancaster county in the equity case
of Mary E. Sutton against Edward
Dudley, Heulings Lippincott and
Francis H. Hoffecker. The bill was
filed to compel the defendants to
assign a mortgage and bond for $40, 600
secured on land in Warwick township,
Lancaster county, TO the Real Estate
Guarantee and Investment Co. of Della
ware.
1t was alleged that the company
owned the mortgage and assigned it
without consideration or authority to
Dudley, who transferred il to Lippin-
cott and Hoifecl1er The plaintiff sued
as owner of 25, 800 shares of the COM
pany's stock. The defendants alleged
that the transfers were properly made.
Numerous facts entered into the
litigation relating to complicated trans
actions between Levi III. Miller, the
owner of the land morteaged, his SON
in-law. Sutton; Joseph Cooper
and the company, and the suits
arising therefrom. These are re-
viewed at length by Justice Dean. who
holds that the transfer was made with
authority and for ample consideration,
and without evidences of fraud on the
part of the defendants, and that the
differences of fact by the lower court
were unwarranted.
The opinion also rules the case of
the Real Estate Guarantee and lnvest-
ment Co., formerly the Sussex Land
and Cattle Co. against the same de-
fendants an appeal from the Common
Pleas Court of Lancaster county in
volving a similar issue.

Manila. Philippine Islands, Oct. 10.
Major Bell, with 100 picked men Of
the Thirty-sixth Regiment, made
reconnaissance yesterday in the di-
rection of Florida Blanco, four miles
out of Guagua, and encountered
body of 100 insurgents, whom they
routed, capturing lieutenant and
three armed privates. Near Florida
Blanco, they met another body Of in
surgents, and routed them, capturing
another armed lieutenant and one
private. Returning with 90 scouts,
Major Bell encountered the enemy q
third time. The reconnaissance re.
suited in scattering the insurgents in
that locality.
The last two days have witnessed
considerable outpost firing by small
bands of insurgents on the northern
lines. Simultaneous with the affair
near LaLoma Church, yesterday, the
outposts of the American forces at
Caloocan, Deposito and Mariquina
were fred upon. 1t appears that tho
insurgents in the neighborhood are
operating in bands of from to 90, and
it is rumored that attacks are to be
made upon the hospitals. The up.
rising in Manila win result in extra
vigilance on the part of the United
States troops.

HARBOR OF REFUGE.
Great Stone Breakwater Near Lewes Is
More Than Half Com pleted.

Great stone Breakwater Near Lewes is
More Than Half Com mpleted.
The work of constructing the great
stone breakwater which is to protect
the National Harbor of Refuge near
Lewes, is almost ready, more than half
completed. The latest sur yeys of the
work executed show that over 800, 600
tons Of stone have been deposited on
the mammoth ocean. barrier, which is
to provide safe anchorage for the
largest ships and the biggest feet that
could be assembled in these waters.
About $50 feet of the superstructure
of the north end Of the breakwater has
been completed, and work on the re-
malnder IS being pushed with all the
energy possible. That portion Of the
sub-struoture which has been raised
above low water mark reaches length
of about 1000 feet; the remaining
thousand feet necessary to complete
the full Longitudinal Dimensions of the
breakwater is now being constructed.
The difficulty of this part of the work
is apparent from the fact that the sub
structure has to be erected in depth
of 55 feet of water. 1t is expected that
the work under the present contract
will be completed in December, 1900,
which, il accomplished, would be
nearly year in advance OF the time
limitation provided by the specifi-
cations. The cost to the breakwater
will reach $1,000, 600.
The plans of the United States Engi-
neor Corps also contemplate the con.
struction of ice breakers in the form of
projecting piers, the construction of
which will be provided for later.
With the completion of this great
breakwater safe anchorage will be pro-
vided for the largest ships afioat, and
inside ITS protecting arms the fleets of
the United States and Great Britain
could ride in safety. The inner harbor,
protected by the existing breakwa ter,
will be reserved for vessels of lighter
draft,

Saturday Afternoon.
Founders Day was appropriately OBJ
served last Saturday afternoon at the
Ferris Industrial School. About 30
friends of the school, including mem
bers of the board Of managers, visited
the institution and were we'll enter
tanned. The visitors were greeted by
the school band, which played delight
full airs on the green prior to the open
ing of the exercises. The young
musicians did themselves credit and
were congratulated by many of the
visitors. t
The exercises took place in the
school room, which was tastefully
decorated in honor of the occasion.
The Rev. f. Cornwell Jennings, pastor
Of Hanover Church, made the opening
prayer, after which the boys sang
patriotic airs in manner which
demonstrated their love of country and
the attention which they had paid to
theii worthy instructors. -Four colored
boys sang the pleasing selection Life
boat Men" SO we'll that they were COM
pelled to respond to an encore. The
spirit manifested by the boys in
saluting the flag which hung in grace
full folds from one end of the room was
pleasing to tho spectators.
Alfred Gawthrop, president of the
board of managers, reviewed the his
tory of the institution and pointed out
the great good which had been and was
being accomplished. He commended
tho instructors of the school and spoke
of the friendship existing between
them and the pupils. John Sparhawk,
Jr.. a member of the Philadelphia bar,
made pleasing address in which he
told the boys Of the great opportunities
now within their grasp and showed the
advantages to be derived from a
proper conception of their duties and
obedience, diligence and application
to their work and studies. He dwelt
upon the necessity of acting and speak
ing kindly and using every opportunity
to improve. A proper building up OF
character, he said, would insure per-
feet manhood, something to be desired
by every boy. At the conclusion of
Mr.. Sparhawk's address the boys gave
an excellent military drill on tho
school grounds, which brought forth
applause from the visitors.
The buildings were given critical
inspection and the workings OF tho
institution were thoroughly explained
and demonstrated.
