EVANSVILLE, Ind, Nov l2.-After the
excitement caused by this mornings dis
covery that a murder had been committed
near town during last night, Evansville was
hardly prepared for the discovery of an
other and similar crime tonight AS in
the first case, the victim was a woman, and
each body was found in a ditch beside
a road Late this evening some children
passing along a public highway {. mile
from town discovered a woman's body I'm a
ditch. The coroner was summoned and had
the victim removed. The woman was iden-
titled Miss Lena Renner. of Jasper, Ind.
She was with John Kifer, a railroad man,
last night. The latter was arrested to-
night and locked up. but on being closely
questioned he told such a straightforward
story that he was later released. Kifer
had the girls pocketbook in his possession
and returned it where the girl was stay
ing and this led to his arrest. He claimed
she had given IL to him to carry and he
had forgotten TO return it.
A post-mortem examination was held to-
night and the result was that evidence
was developed TO show that the woman
had been strangled to death. This bore
out the theory OF murder advanced earlier
in the evening, when an examination was
made of the spot where the body was
found. II showed that a desperate strug-
gle had taken place after rain had begun
on the case tonight, but no clews hssl
veloped

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Nov. 12-The police

which eventually landed Joseph d. Keith

to hang at the Michigan City prison before
sunrise on Friday morning next
This morning, a farmer was coming
TO the city in a wagon. he discovered the
body Of a woman lying face downward in
a ditch only a few feet from the roadside.
He summoned help, and then, leaving the
corpse in the charge of another man,
hastened TO the city and informed Coroner
Walker and the police department. The Of
ficials at once visited the scene and made
an examination of the body and the sur
roundings. There were strong evidences
of struggle on the roadside, as IL rained
last night, and the soft earth left the i'm
print of feet.
There was not a thing on the body by
which identity could be established A
linen collar and umbrella and hat were
found some distance from the corpse, while
the ground indicates that after the strug-

the ditch.

are following every clew, and are searching
for the strange young man.

LOndOn's County Council to Appeal to
Parliament for Permission to
Construct Subways.

CAPE TOWN, Nov. 12.-Dr. ]. w. Smart,
commissioner of public works of Cape Col
ony, in the course of his recent letter to
the papers here dealing with the mission
of Mr.. Elliott, general manager of the
Cape government railways, portions of
which have already been cabled asserted
that of the 124 engines for the construc-
ton of which government sanction has
been given during the last two years, six
ty-two have been ordered from British
firms and thirty-eight from American. The
contracts for the remaining twenty-four
have not yet been placed. 1t is hoped that
the time of delivery and the prices Will
enable these twenty-four to be ordered in
Great Britain.
Mr.. Elliott also declared that the Cape
government had offered as much as e1OO
sterling premium per month per locomotive
for delivery within the contract time. AS
an instance of quick American delivery he
mentioned the fact that four engines bought
in April, 1900. which were built for the
Netherlands Company were awaiting ship
ment and actually delivered at Cape Town
during the following month.
Orders for about half the rolling stock
of the HoDefield-Kalabas Kraal two-foot
line and for the whole of the Avontuur-
Port Elizabeth line of the same gauge
thirty-four miles in length, including loco
motives, are still unplaced, according to
Mr.. Smarts statement. The British tender
of e5 los per ton for rails for the latter
line was the lowest and was accepted
Canada was invited to supply rolling stock
as recognition Of the sacrifices made by
her in behalf of the empire during the war
DR.. Smart asked whether any of the colo
nies would be inclined to penalize them
selves as Cape Colony had done for the
benefit of British trade and whether Brit
ish manufacturers had shown any recipro-
cal feeling by giving better terms to the
Cape or to the other colonies than to for
eign customers Since the statement was
issued the commissioner of public works
has further announced that the Cape gov
ernment has now issued orders for 800
trucks and is awaiting tenders

MISMATED ROYAL COUPLE
GRAND DUKE AND GRAND DUCHESS
OF HESSE WANT DIVORCE.
Most Beautiful Princess of Europe Too
High Spirited to Agree with
Her SuIIen Husband.

BERLIN, Nov. 12.-There appears to be
foundation for the report that divorce OF
the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess OF
Hesse is impending. Incompatibility OF
temper, long existing. appears to have
reached the point where a separation Is in
evitable. They are both grand children OF
the late Queen Victoria, who, with the Car
and an extraordinary assemblage OF Other
sovereigns. was present at the wedding,
which took place at Coburg, April 49, 1884.
The grand duchess is regarded as one of
the most beautiful princesses Of Europe
She and the grand duke were estranged
during the first year of their marriage She
left him and went to stay with her eide
sister the Crown Princess of Roumania-
Queen Victoria invited her and her hus-
band to visit England and managed to re
store a Semblance of peace, but that soon
disappeared. The grand duke is reported
grand duchess is high spirited.

Consul General Dickinson Says There

SOFIA, Nov 12.-Consul General Dickin-
son, OF Constantinople, has supplemental
his verbal representations to the Bulgarian
government by a note to-day. in which h,
recapitulates the history of the abduction,
by brigands, of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone and
her companion. Nine Tsilka, and the steps
taken TO obtain her release, and reminds
the foreign minister of his promise to give
every assistance. He cites instances where
the attitude of subordinate officials has not
conformed with this assurance. Finally,
Mr.. Dickinson repeats his demand for the
noninterference of the government with tn
negotiations
Mr.. Dickinson also quotes from Miss
Stones letters. saying that the chief dan
ger to which she is exposed is flight from
hiding places by night at the approach of
troops. He declares that the people of the
United States will hold the Bulgarian gov
ernment morally and legally responsible
for the lives of the captives should the
bandits. exasperated by pursuit, slay them.
The governments reply. according TO the
opinion expressed in the official circles. will

precedent that the government give pro-

A private agent who was employed to
visit Doubritza reports that the members
OF the secret committee were discussing
the lowest terms of ransom that would be
acceptable. One member of the committee
informed the correspondent that he had
been invited TO join the band and take part
in the kidnapping. but that he refused and
deprecated an attack on inoffensive women

coal miners In relation to the difficulty
experienced in disposing of their products
and the consequent restrictions in the out
put, while imports of these products are
increasing are so inexplicable that the
finance minister, NJ. Dewitte, has invited
the mining congress, in session at Khar-
koff. to explain the matter. During the
course of a telegram TO the congress, M
Dewittee points out that the imports for
the current year to Oct. 1 amounted to
662l 600 poods of cast iron and cast steel; ;
3,3S3.OOO pools of machinery, and 1S4. .122, 900
pools of coal. "In view" telegraphs the
minister, "of the very high duties imposed
for the protection of home industries,
ask the congress to explain how the home
products can complain of a lack of mar
ket In the face of such considerable i'm
ports of products which might be supplied
by Russian industry"
