MAY0RALTY CAMPAIGN.

Next Mayor.
Thomas s Lewis SAID 10 be Candi-
date for Reelection as Col
lector. Other Men Who
are After the Office.

Politicians are beginning to talk about
the mayoraity campaign. Many Repub-
leans are of the opinion that William Il.
Clerk should he the next mayor. He
was candidate in the last campaign
and George w. Bush ran against him on
the Regular Republican ticket. Now that
MIR. Bush has died they think Mr.. Clerk
should he the nominee Of all the Repub-
licnas which would b. equivalent to his
election.
There is considerable speculation as
to who will succeed Thomas S. Lewes
as tax collector for the northern dis
trict. 1t is said that he will be n candi-
date but as it is against the unwritten
laws of the party for q collector to serve
more than three terms It is not likely
hat he will make the nomination.
Among the other canuidates are, Ex-
Representative Robert NJ. Burns, James
McKelvev. George w. Phillips and Geo.
NJ. Mccall.
MIR. Lewis is said to have made $685.

NO CLUE TO hER IDENTITY

Rochester, Dec. 9.-The finding of a
woman's mutilated body in the Genesee
river at Charlotte, five miles below Roch-
ester, adds another chapter to a series of
crimes such as this city has never known
before. The Rochester police are inclined
to wash their hands of the case, but the
fact remains that the Genesee river runs
through the heart of this city, and the
current Is swift in the direction of Char
lotte.
Fred Josh of Charlotte made the dis
covery as he rowed across the river just
above the home of the Rochester Yacht
club. The man saw human foot ap-
pearing above the muddy water. and on
investigation he found woman's body.
1t was headless. and the arms had been
hacked off close to the shoulders. The
body evidently had been in the water sew
eral days.
Josh informed Captain Gray of the
Rochester life saving crew in Charlotte,
and the captain took the body In charge.
| Coroner Kleindineat was called, and he
brought 1t to the morgue in this city.
| The news of the discovery spread rap
| idly, and curious crowds surrounded the
morgue. Everywhere the new crime is
| being talked of, for there Ia little doub'
but that the victim was criminally as
saulted, then cut up and thrown into th'
| Gonesee.

and the upper part of the chest had beci
severed from the trunk with some instru
ment. The body was devoid of clothing
and the part of the chest remaining wit
the trunk appears as IL torn by a grea
force.
Coroner K1eindinest Is making ever
effort to identity the body, but there
nothing about the corpse to afford tn
least possible clew. The coroner said:
"I am looking up the old records. Sex
eral women were reported missing, and
have never received report that the

A clean. refined. up-to- date ex-

one who attended the performance
of Beach & Bowers minstrels at
Olympia theatre last night, and the
house was pretty well filled at that.
There was not a dull period during
the eA.ire performance. The
specialties, as q whole, were as
good as were ever seen in Olympia
theatre. The company possesses
one feature that added greatly to
the pleasure Of the evening. and
that was the fact that the
performance was continuous,
not a single wait between scenes
being in evidence during the even
ing. The funny business" was
all new and of a superior order,
at times almost convnlsing the
audience. DON Fordon. the bicy-
clist; Harry Freeman and the
Smith brothers, the amusing aero
bats; the Kenno-La Barre trio in
in their high class comedy aero
batic act, and the troupe Of per-
forming dogs were features that
were excellent and were Q show
in themselves. Beach q Bowers'
minstrels deserve good houses
wherever they appear.-Morning
