Solve IT.

ANNAPOLIS. MD. March 1G.-Police
In the cities along the upper Chesapeake
shore and the Susquehanna River are
endearoring to learn the Identity Of
young woman whose body has been taken
from the Magothy River. near this place.
Apparel such as woman of refinement
would wear and jewe1rY on the body
have led the Anne Arundel county
authorities 10 take vigorous action to
solve the mystery.
Three fishermen made the discovery of
the body. One was William Campbell,
Who says that he and his companions
were attending their nets when they
found it weGged between two logs The
face of the woman was badly cut and
bruised: probably from contact with logs
and debris.
The woman had worn a dress of dark
material, which was faded and damaged
quality. as We're the shoes and stockings.
The woman apparently was about twenty
years old, and had small, well preserved
teeth. -Four rings we're found on the fin
gers, gold bracelets on the wrists and
diamond pin at the throat. The rings
and other articles We're taken in charge
by the Coroner. and are now in the ha1:ds
OF the Anne Arundel county authorities.
Inquiry has been made at Havre de
Grace and Point Deposit. With the idea
that the body may have been washed
out OF the Susauehanna- and in that way
reached the point where It was dfscov-
cred. NO woman has been missed from
either place, nor from the surrounding
country.
The county authorities have notified
the police officials of Baltimore, Phila-
delphia, Wilmington, and other places of
.he discovery. and inquiries have been
quietly made, but so far without result
There were no knife or pistol shot
wounds on the body, and nothing to indi-.
cate death by foul means, though poison
may have been administered or a blow
struck with blunt instrument. The
body has been temporarily buried near
Annapolis and the authorities intend to
continue their investigation until the
mystery is solved There is no mark on
the clothing TO guide them in their
search.

lat a special meeting OF the Chamber

afternoon to enable the merchants to
attend an open air meeting on the Plaza
with the object Of drawing up a petition
10 Governor-General Davis. demanding
immediate Congressional decision on the
lariif, one way or the other. Tele-
grams were sent to all towns throughout
Porto Rico. requesting like demands.
The feeling of uncertainty regarding
the tariff holds business practically at
J,tandstEl, the merchants being afraid
TO order goods or TO advance funds on
the planters accounts. The meeting TO-
day was conducted in a calm and busi-
ness-like manner. The merchants here
will be satisfied to accept any decision

Sixty country women marched from

work and food. The women presented a
most pitiasle sight They were bare
footed and ragged. half naked. dust
covered and weary from their journey.
Some of them were lame; all were dis
Outraged
The petition which they presented to
the Governor General tells the story of
the depressing times, no work, and the
price of rice. beans. and bread beyond
reach. fruits destroyed, and the relief
supply discontinued bringing them and
others where they came from almost to
starvation.
DAVIS PROMISED RDL1EF.
General Davis promised relief to the
party. and requested the Mayor to pro
vide transportation. His reply was that
there was not a peso in the Treasury
and that the police were yet unpaid for
! their last two months work. The party
of women dispersed quietly, some re-
tracing their steps afoot. others begging
easier conveyance to Naranjito, which Is
twenty miles from San Juan. a portion
of the road being almost impossible.
Similar parties are expected from other
towns.
