tionaire Rice Has D~isapneared

New York. July 2s.-Detectives who
have been searching for Charles r..
Jones, who confessed having caused
the death of the Texas millionaire. VIII
liam Marsh Rice, whose valet he was.
have been unable to find the man.
Jones received immunity for becom-
ing q states witness against Albert II.
Patrick who was charged with killing
Rice, through the instrumentality Of
Jones, to secure the Rice millions. In
June 1902, Jones was given his freedom
on the nominal bail of 81, 900. Before
Jones was permitted to leave prison he
was made to agree thatshe would keep
In constant communication with the
attorneys office and with this
understanding he was permitted to re-
turn to his old home in Texas,
Nearly everyone he had known from
childhood passed him in silence on the
street. He was practically In solitude
among his former friends. He went to
Houston, where he had worked as a
clerk for Rice in q warehouse. He met
with scorn. and In the letters to the
district attorneys Office complained
bitterly Of h treatment.
As a last resort, Jones went to Cal
weston, and under an assumed name,
worked as mate or the schooner Zap
hello, which made weekly trips rom
Galveston to San Jancino river. Then
he went to New Orleans, when his let
ters stopped. It became necessary to
locate Jones in q proceeding connected
with the Patrick appeal, but no trace
OF him can be found.

Illegal, but the Russians heretofore

RELIANCE is CHOSEN.
New Boat Is Officially Designated a
the Defender of the Amer
ica's CUP,

Newport, r. l., July 29.-After yes
terday's race between the Reliance,
Constitution and Columbia, in which
the former boat again demonstrated
her superiority over the other two, the
challenge committee of the New York
Yacht club selected the Reliance at the
defender Of the Americas cup.
1t was also decided to discontinue the
trial races.
Messrs. Morgan, of the Columbia,
and Belmont, of the Constitution, were
perfectly satisfied with the choice Of
the committee. They are both Of the
opinion that the Reliance is the fastest
of the three boats.
From the showing Of the three boats
during the seasSn the Reliance is fairly
entitled to be the defender. In every
race she has crossed the finish line
ahead. and has lost but few events on
time allowance. 1t Is probable the de-
fender will proceed to Bristol for a
thorough overhauling.
The three yachts raced over a 1eeward
and Windward course. There wa a puffy
northwestern of fifteen miles strength
blowing when the starting signal was CIV
en- at 1880.
E. The Constitution made a fine showing on
the outer stretch and at the outer mark
was only 25 seconds behind the Reliance,
while the Columbia was more than 4 min
utes behind. After that the Reliance
drew ahead and to windward steadily.
The Columbia sailed a fast race to wind
ward and by a fortunate slant Of wind
close under the Newport short hauled up
SO much on the Constitution that the lat
ter barely beat her across the finish line.
The elapsed time of the race was:
Reliance, 3:33:43; Columbia, 3:3S:1l; Con-
stitution 3:3S:39.

A CHICAGO MYSTERY.
Police Find a Dead Body in q Box on
Depot Platform.

ONCE Fthd lead Body in q Box on
Depot Platform.
Chicago, July 28.-Doubled in a
rough box, the body of a man bruised
and partially dismembered was thrown
over the street railing to the express
platform OF the Chicago and North
western railway station.
Fol eight hours all evidence Of what
Is now believed to be a CHASTITY crime
was lost. The fact that the body was
turned over to the police makes the
mystery all the deeper. Although the
body was conveyed to a morgue on
North Clark street in the patrol wagon
OF the Chicago avenue police station,
neither Inspector Campbell MOI the
proprietor Of the morgue knows what
has become of 1t.
These strange facts, coupled with the
evident reluctance OF every one con-
neoted with the case to discuss it, has
added to the interest. The police say
they are not doing anything in the
matter. Tor three hours the box which
contained the body remained unnoticed
on the platform. Then somebody drew
the attention OF the baggage movers
TO it
It was found that the unmarked, n
tagged case contained the body of
man. The body was bruised and cut
In several pieces.

containing the body had been left at
the station at 4 o'clock in the morning.
a night watchman of the railway COM
psny saw q wagon back up to the plat
form and leave the box, but he noticed
nothing 70 1t except that n Of the
panels of the wagon was broken.
n Watchsnan's Story.
AccoEdtng to the watchman's story,
the driver swung his horse around so
that b tailbcard Of his wagon was
parallel with the platform and threw
OF the box AS he brought his horse
around In a semi-circle a young man,
who was on the seat with him, Jumped
of and pulled the box to the railing
and thence to the platform.
Leaving the box In front OF the lit
tie weigh station, which Is at this point,
the younger man jumped over the rail-
ing again, climbed upon the wagon and
rode away.
When the regular force of freight
handlers arrived at the station there
was nothing to attract their
to the case. Soon an odor was no.
Hced, however. and they traced it to
this box.
f. p. Taylor. who has charge of all
the baggage that the Chicago and
Northwestern road handles, was called.
and after looking over the records and
finding there was nothing to indicate
the shipper of this box. he ordered that
it be opened
As the top was removed the body of
a man, covered only with a coat and
a sheet, was revealed. The condition
of h body was such hi no investi-
gation was made at this time.
As soon as the contents of the box
were made known, it was removed to
the station masters house, just west
OF the express platform. 1t remained
there until 2 o'clock Wednesday aft
srnoon. according to employees Of the
railway.
Then the police took charge OF 1t.
SO William Riley, special agent of the
railway says. What became Of the
body eventually he confesses he does
not know.
