ATTEMPTED MURDER TN TWISTED
Woman Found Unconsoious iM Race.
 Ia Irn A AunrteA


 wny-Terribie Fate Avrrt~d.
 Winsted, July 24.--What Is supposed to have been q deliberate attempt tc murder Mrs. Mary Winnegarde. mid dle-aged woman, was brought to light early this morning when the woman was found unconscious in the raceway of the factory of the Winsted Edge Tool works. Her head was cut, one rib frac- tured and she was badly bruised about the body. The discovery of the woman in the raceway was most timely, as 1t was but a short while later that the gates at Highland lake were opened and the great volume of water that re- wolves the wheels of several large fac tories was turned on
 Had Mrs. Winnegarde been in the raceway then in her helpless condition she undoubtedly would have been car ried into the wheel pit and probably been so badly mutilated by the revolv- ing wheel as to be unrecogn1zable. The police have been working on the case all day, but no arrests have been made. The woman claims that she was at tackled by a stranger, who afterwards threw her Into the raceway She had been lying there for more than four hours when discovered.
 Mrs. Winnegarde separated from her husband in Goshen about month ago and has been residing here since She was last seen previous to being found in the raceway in the company of Her bert Surdam shortly after midnight Surdam recently figured in the elope- ment with Mrs. Homer Robinson of Norfolk, who ended her life July by taking Paris green. Surdam came to Winsted yesterday afternoon and made the acquaintance of Mrs. Winnegarde and they were in each others company for the rest of the day. When Ques- toned by the officers Surdam pro fessed entire ignorance of the assault or knowledge Of the woman being in the raceway Mrs. Winnegarde was re- moved to the almshouse, where she IS being treated by Dr. Welch, who re- ports the woman's condition as quite serious

May Come from the Headquarters H of the Allied Forccs-Russtn, France nMH Belgium All Received Advices fester- day from Chinese Sources That tho Ministers Were Safe--The Proposal to
 send Enyoys to Ttcn Tsin Under 1m-
pcrini Protection

Washington, July 24,-Assuming from the dispatch published yesterday from Sheng. the director of Chinese railroads and talegraphs, that, a movement was on foot on the 18th instant to get the foreign ministers started from Pekin to Tien Tsin under escort of imperial troops, the state department would not be surprised to get definite news Of them from the headquarters of the al lied forces in a short time. The dis tance from Tien Tsin to Pel1in Is seven- ty-five miles and at this season the trip is usually made by road from Pekin to Tong Chco, a point on the Pei Ho, twelve miles below the capital, and the remainder of the way by boat. This trip now would take four days, suppos- ing the escort of imperial troops met with no resistance from the insurgents. If the move from Pekin was made within two days after Sheng's informa- ton was received 1t would be possible that the legationers and their escort are now in touch with the headquarters of the allies, always supposing that noth ing serious happened to the party on the road

LONDON STILL DOUB7FUI,
Strong Impression That Ministers Were
 nsnsancred July6

London, July 24,-The Chinese minis ter, Sir Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh. had a
 long interview with Lord Salisbury this
 afternoon. The general situation Waa
 discussed and the Chinese minister re-
 iterated his belief hat the British min-
 ister to China, Sir Claude Macdonald, and the other foreigners at Pekin were
 safe. Lord Salisbury reiterated his de- mand for direct communication with the minister at Pekin. To this request the minister could onl yrenew his pro- testattons that 1t would be speedily ac- complished If feasible. He adduced no new facts to prove his assertions. The interview closed without result.
 Despite the Chinese minister's state- ments and despite Sir Claude MacDon- aids letter of July 4, strong impress sion continues to prevail at the foreign office that the ministers at Pekin were massacred July 5. The Associated Press correspondent is informed that not one scintil1a of evidence is yet in the possession of the foreign office lead ing them to disbeieve the reports of the murders Sir Claude MacDonald's let ter, with it's account of severe fighting in progress, merely confirms the gov ernment's forebodings.
 William Pritchard Morgan, member of parliament for Merthyr Tydvil whose of and interests in China are extensive informed the Associated Press correspondent to-day that he was positive, from cable messages from his agents that the members of the lesa- ticns were alive July 9. When the for eign office was told this the rejoinder was made: MT. Morgan has submit ted no evidence to convince us of the truth of his statement, however anxious we may be to believe it.'
 Consultations are ir progress between cabinet ministers and officials as to the course to be pursued should the minis ters prove to be alive. The contingency of China holding them as hostages is 1ppermost In the minds of all, although the Associated Press correspondent Is officially informed that the Chinese d'p- omats have not yet hinted as such &C., ion.
