New York, Oct. II. Mo crime In re.
cent years has aroused so much public
interest as the murder Of the young
woman whose body was mutIlated and
scattered, parts thrown In the streets
and parts in the river. The head. arms
and legs below the knees are stiIl miss
ing. The police are bending their ener.
gies to discover the head, for until they
find II there Is little hope of identifying
the dead woman
Belief that the murdered woman
may be Mrs. Gertrude Billings. wife
OF Columbus avenue saloon-keeper.
Is strengthened. Her description tai
lies closely with the mutilated remains
In the Morgue. Doctors say the lungs
of the murdered woman show that she
at one time had been very i'll with
pneumonia. Mrs. Billings had pneu-
mOnia a year ago.
Another missing woman whose dis
appearance the police are closely inves-
tigating is Mrs. Jennie Reynolds. Il
millinery buyer and wife of a well-to-
do builder, with whom she did not live.
She has been missing more than a
week from her home. POS West Nine

Montpelier Entertains Dewey.

Montpelier. VT, Oct. 12.-It was
thought that large crowd greeted Adj
miral Dewey upon his arrival here, but
it was nothing to be compared with the
multitude which turned out to-day to
do him honor in his native town. 1t
is holiday in all that the word Inn
plies and it is doubtful If there has
ever been so many people in Mont
pelier before in any one day. All busi-
ness places are handsomely decorated
for the occasion. The team that Dr.
Webb brought along in the private car
drew the carriage in which Admiral
Dewey rode at the head of the mon
ster parade. The festivities from start
to finish were full of patriotism and
good feeling.

london. Oct. 13-Two armies are
now marching on the British forces IN
Natal. according to cablegrams re-
ceived here.
Troops from the Orange Free State
marched across the border near New
cattle. The Boer army massed in the
vicinity of Laing's Mex advanced at
the same time.
Ten thousand troops have been mobil-
lied there within two weeks They are
well equipped with mountain quick
firing guns and machine guns.
Charlestown and Dundee are equally
threatened by the advance. When the
Boer and Free State columns unite an
attack on Ladysmith is feared.
Between 5000 and 5000 British
troops are now in camp at Ladysmith.
The capture of that place would give
the Beers command of the railroad
from Durham to Pretoria and the
branch running to the Free State.
Firing was reported near Charles
town. and it is feared the first skirmish
occurred there in an attempt to check
the Boer advance.
The Boer movement will give them
command of the pass made famous by
the battle of Maiuha Hill.
