Dead Body Of Young Girl Found in
Cincinnati Suburb-No Clew
to Murderer.

Cincinnati, Nov. 4.-Terribly cut and
crushed about the head, the dead body or
Alma Steinway, telephone operator,
aged 18 years, was found in vacant lot
near the Spring Grove cemetery at Win
ton Place, a suburb, Thursday. While
there are male footprints in the trail
where the body was found, there is no
clue to the murderer The girl left
the telephone office at Cumminsville at
8 o'clock Wednesday night, and her body
was found in the lot near the cemetery
Thursday morning. Her head and face
had been crushed by blow from blunt
instrument. From one wound the
brains were oozing, another blow had
crushed her jawbone, knocked out sew
eral teeth and a triangular section of
the jaw itself.
The dead girl was a member of the
Episcopal church choir at Winton Place
and highly respected. Conductor Frank
Limle told the police that Alma Stein
way, the murdered girl, got on his car
Wednesday night at KnOwlton Corner,
accompanied by a man. The couple
rode to Winton Road and got off. He
said the man had frequently ridden with
Miss Steinway. Limle said the man
was about SO years old and that he could
identify him if he saw him again.

Chief Justice of United States Su-
preme Court Said to Plan
Resignation.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Chief Justice
Melville w. Fuller, of the supreme
court of the United States, plans, it is
said, to resign his Office on March 5,
1905, the day after he has administered
the oath of Office to the next president.
If President Roosevelt is elected, it
is reported to be his plan to offer the
post OF chief justice to William II.
Taft, secretary of war. There is no
official confirmation of these reports.
Chief Justice Fuller will be II years
old February II, 1905, and will then
be entitled to retire from the bench on
a salary of $10,500 year as long as
he lives. The recent death of his wife
contributes to his desire to spend the
remaining days of his life free from
official responsibilities. No chief JUS
tice of the supreme court has ever re-
signed. All have died on the bench.
Chief Justice Fuller has administered
the oath of Office to four presidents
Harrison, Cleveland and Mckinley, the
latter twice. He was appointed chief
justice on April 80, 1888.

Verdict of Coroner's Jury at Hull, Eng

Affair.

Hull, England, Nov. 3.-"That George
Henry Smith and William Leggett were,
at about 1880 a. M, on October %, while
out fishing with travis aboard the Brit.
ish steam trawler Crane, with board of
trade marks exhibited and regulation
lights burning, killed by shots fired
without warning or provocation from
certain Russian war vessels alta distance
about a quarter of mile"
This is the text OF the jury's verdict
at the coroner's inquest on the fishermen
victims of the North'sea tragedy. At the
request of the British government, rep
resented by the earl of Dysart, solicitor
Of the treasury, this conservative award
vas rendered by the first court of in
quiry preceding the sessions of the in
ernational tribunal. The government
asked the jury not to find verdict of
wilful murder or manslaughter, because
delicate negotiations are going on
which should not be made more difficult;
and they ought not to let anyone think
they had preiudged the case before hav-
ing heard both sides" In consequence
the jury simply set forth the facts proved
by the evidence of physicians, experts
on explosives and tne trawlers them
selves.

Chefoo correspondent has obtained let

tinues: THE uncanny part of it all is
that men meet death in utter silence.
One sees the fercest of fights, but hears
no sound. One moonlight night at Else

ghostly mass of moving figures, through
which continual lanes were made by our
guns, admitting glimpses of scenes be-
hind. These gaps were closed up as ii
by magic, and the masses surged onward
while our men, fOrsaking the trenches,
sought the shelter of the forts. On they
came until, when they were close up to
us, the mines exploded and the earth
opened. Bodies were hurled high in
the air and then sank again to earth.

"All the inventions of military genius
are not able to daunt the japanese, who
fight with Titanic energy. Our soldiers

cause of inability to repair vessels pre-
viously damaged. We have not single
bottle of anesthetics left. Just think
what agony the wounded must endure.
St, Petersburg, Nov. Military ac-
tivity in the vicinity of the Shakhe
river is limited to the extension and
strengthening of entertainments. There
are indications that the Japanese have
not given up the plan of seeking to
force Gen. Kuropatkin into another
general engagement, although in mill
tary circles here the belief is expressed
that there will be no other big battle
in the campaign this year.

Russians continue infrequent and in
effectual bombardment, principally at
night or in the early morning, with

chiefly to the Japanese left, where the
lines are nearer than elsewhere The
Japanese refrain from replying. There
is a sharp exchange, indicating firing
somewhere on the lines. almost every
night.
