Mysterious Deaths.

New York, Oct. % The police are
trying to identity The body of head
less woman, found floating in the Har.
lem river, in the Bronx, from gold
wedding ring on which are the initials
&C. L." A coroner's physician will
perform an autopsy today to determine
the cause of death. The police believe
that the woman was murdered and her
body thrown in the river. The body of
the woman had been in the water long
time. 1t may be that the head was
washed off by the action of the water,
and it is probable that it was decapi-
tated by the murderer. The woman ap-
pears to have been stout and well built.
She was about FIVE feet six inches tall.
There is a theory that the woman was
murdered, as was Gussie Pfeiffer, the
Bronx girl, whose body was found in =
Bronx thicket on September II, she hav-
ing been strangied and beaten and LETT to
die in the woods. Joseph Gerard is
wanted for this murder.
New York, Oct. 25.-There is a mys-
terry as to the identity and whereabouts
of the sweetheart mentioned in a letter
left by Mary j. Galley, who, in the midst
of luxury, committed suicide in the
Aberdeen Hotel in west 32nd street
yesterday. For Lillian, Give to Jack,
was the inscription on the note address
ed to Mrs. G.. Allen, and inside the pa
the!ic words: Tired, Tired, Forgive
me, darling, sister Love. "MAY.
Beyond the facts that a man who
always sent up his name to Miss Galley,
as "Jack" and that he arrived in a red
automobile, and was tall, aud broad
shouldered there is little to lead to the
Identification of the dead woman's
friend. One of the hotel clerks now
saws that on one occasion, he asked him
for his fnll name, and was told to say
"Mr. McIlvaine wants to see Miss
Galley. He took her riding in his au
tomobile nearly every day. Fully dress
ed, the yonng woman had apparently
arranged herself before mirror in the
bath room, Of her apartments, and then
pressed the revolver against her left
temple. She registered at the hotel q
week ago from Akron, Ohio. She was
comely, and about 80 years of age. In
her purse, studded with diamonds, and
rubies, were $l33. 81. Jewerly valued
at about 81, 900 was found in her hand

several years ago to Frank Pitzer, of

Since that time she has divided her time

NEWSPAPERS have been ranked as a

American history class of Prof. James

Yesterday Professor james referred to an
article which appeared in a morning
paper Upon questioning one Of the
members of the class he found that the
student was not prepared TO discuss cur

class showed that but two of the men,
bers had read a morning paper. If the
professor had questioned them about a
football game or the standing of any
club in the baseball league he would
have received prompt and correct
answers, but the trend of the times now
is for men to give more time and atten-

THAT THE political bank raiders who
caused the crash at the Enterprise Ma
tional Bank of Allegheny, Pa. last week,
aud drove Cashier Clark to suicide are
gaining confidence that they will be able
to hide many of the details OF their
operations was made yesterday evening
Reiterated statements we're made that
all the Andrews Torrance-Kennedy New
Mexican paper found in the bank ruins
was as good as gold, and that the poll
ticians were not the men who did the
wrecking. This talk carried with it the
inference that Clark was the only man
to blame, though the confession, or note,
left by the dead cashier, if it can be
dragged from its place of concealment,
will, it is said, tell different story. The
truth is that The republican politicians
have probably raised the money to lift
the greater proportion of their notes in
the Enterprise Bank, and that fact makes
it holder.

Russian Railroads Tied Up.

st. Petersburg, 25. Despite the rail-
way strike which has almost tied up the
various roads throughout the empire, one
train was run into Moscow today. The
operation of the train was accompanied
with danger, however, and many dim
culties had to be overcome before the lrip
was finished. The engineer was threat
ened with death if be did not desert his
engine. but stuck to his post. At sev-
eral stations along the line between kasan
and Bristlitovsk, conflicts occurred be-
tween the troops and strikers in which
many persons we're injured Tie-up now
seems complete, as the employees OF all
the railways have joined the strike. The
latest recruits to the strike movement are
the EMPLOYEES on the Warsaw and Baltic
line No trains are now running into or
from St. Petersburg. The strike is rapid
~ spreading among industrial concerns,
and threatens to become general.
Advices from Warsaw, Poland, say
that the fermeDt caused by the strike is
increasing there. The employees on
all the railroads on the Vienna line
Joined the strike. The number OF rail-
way men out on strike is estimated at
$50, 900. Proclamations are being scat
tered about the city urging the people
and the strikers TO attempt revolution.
The agitation is growing so bold that
troops have been called out to hold the
streets against the strikers and prevent
demonstrations.
An example of the effects of the
strike is cited. A hospital train bearing
500 wounded and sick soldiers back from
Manchuria, has been stalled near here
and it is impossible TO bring the sufferers
into the city.
Radical action look toward the con-
tinuation of the strike until the demands
of the employees are accepted was taken
at meeting of railway men held at the
University, which lasted TAR into the
night. Speeches of the most revolution
AIRY character were made and wildly sp-
pauded. The Congress decided to send
deputations TO wait upon Prince Khilof,
minister at Railways, and Count Witte,
to present an address, demanding re-
forms including a constituent assembly
elected b. universal suffrage. Count
Witte received the deputation. He told
the working men that constituent as
sem5ly, such as they proposed, was an
impossibility at the present time. Uni
yer,al suffrage, he declared, would give
pre- commence to the rich who would be
able TO influence votes. He promised
that liberty of the press and freedom OF
meeting would be granted in the near
future.
