woman. OF rather facn mpl} Is. who
is believed to have ner one time
on the stage A short time ago she
took up her abode In cottage at ST..
Mande. with male friend with whom
SHE had formerly lived and who, on
his return from Africa recently, had
sought her out ami found her After
dining with him one evening last week
she went out, saying that she was
going to little party which some ac-
auaintances were giving in Paris. and
at two o'clock next morning she was
noticed passing through the Saint
Mande gate On her back to her dwell.
ing.
The woman went along broad and,
at that hour. deserted avenue. run
ming parallel to the fortihcations, and
soon afterwards a pool of blood was
perceived by lamplighter on the
Pavement Following the ruddy track
the man turned a corner. about fifty
yards from which he found corpse
lying in street adjoining the avenue
The body had been diyested OF most Of
its clothing, including corset and
stockings, and there was a terrible
cash in the neck
The lamplighter hurried of to the
police at ViVncennes. who arrived
promptly on the scene OF the tragedy
and soon afterwards the corpse was
identified by a pabican. who gave
the address of the friend with whom
the unfortunai young woman had
been living. The friend, who had re-
tired early to rest, and was sleeping
soundly when the police called at his
cottage lost no time in accompanying
them to the spot aud he quickly noted
that, besides the clothes which were
missing a purse containing a consid
cradle sum and some jewelry, which
the murdered woman invariably wore
had beentaken.
Though the police have worked dill
gently on the case they are still in
the darn as to the identity of the muir
.derer or murderers. No suspicion at
taches to the friend Of the women as
he succeeded in satisfying the author-
ties as to his movements on the night
of the crime. One theory is that the
crime may have been due to desire
Tor revenge on the part of some for
mer acquaintance Of the victim. But
the neighborhood in which the muir
der occurred is SO dangerous at night
that it is thought quite probable that
the woman may have been killed only
for the sake Of what she might have
about her.

Aldermen o'Brien, King and Rath-

Aldermen O'Brien, King and Rath-
jen expressed themselves similarly.
Alderman Johnson asked Captain
Divine what he would take for the
plant, declaring that the city had made
him an offer which he refused and they
would like for him to say what he,
would take. Captain Divine replied
that they were not in a position to put
q valuation upon the plant.
Alderman johnson said the company
had had a year and a half to decide en-
what the plant is worth. He further
more stated that there We're several
kinds Of people who favor water works,
some wanting the city to secure a sys-
tenn at once, and others at some far
distant day.
Alderman Moore said he would vote
in favor Of the wells provided the
clause was cut out stating that the
city would adopt the deep well system
for water works. This clause read:
1--WE recommend that the city adopt
the deep well system as a source OF
supply for u city.
When the report was put, as amend
ed, the above clause having been cut
out, it was carried by a Eote of seven

sition were: Aldermen King, Johnson

Mr.. D. McEachern and Mr.. z w.
Whitehead were in Burgaw yesterday
and attended the meeting Of the Pender
county board of commissioners. The
river came up and it was decided that
the commissioners of the two counties
meet at Castle Haynes next Monday to
discuss the best route and location of
the bridge. The Pender commission
ers seemed to be enthused with the
idea OF the free bridge. Quite a num-
Der OF Pender people were present, and
all who spoke favored the building of
the bridge. Messrs. Whitehead and
McEachern addressed the board in
favor Of the bridge.
Mr.. Blossom says he is willing for
the commissioners Ct the two counties
to make an investigation as to what
rights he has to receive payment for
h right to place a bridge over the
Northeast at Castle Haynes and if it
is found that he has no right to make
them pay her he will drop the mat
ter :OtherWise he will be willing to
leave it to arbitration. New Hanover
and Fender each appointing a man and
Mr.. Blossom a representative and al
low them to decide On the amount the
counties should pay.
The idea is to place the bridge be-
low the railroad bridge. It is esti-
mated that the bridge would cost in the
~neighbOrhood Of $4,000 Or $40, 900, but
it would be money we'll spent by both
counties. 1t would give the people Of
Pender a means Of reaching Whining
ton easily and it would be to the ad-
vantage of the people of this town for
them to come here. The people Of
New Hanover hope very much that it
may materialiSe.

would advertise as the mail order men
do. The editorial has attracted con-
siderable attention both at home and

pointing out hat most Of the cheap
things gotten from mail order houses
were not only products OF sweat shops,
but were really seconds" and hat
there was nothing to be gained by or

from a gentleman engaged in whole

Secession i'm West Australia.

The motive of the responsible gov
Of Western Australia to secede
from the commonwealth may be but a
threat planned to secure better consid-
Grafton from the eastern states of the
southern continent, or under the loose
system OF the federation it may become
an accomplished withdrawal without
much difficulty.
The grievance of the WestralianS
now, as it has ever been since the Swan
river colony ceased to be the last sta
ton Of the 'lags'' under the system of
transportation for criminals, is the
lack OF means of communication with
the rest of the continent. From its
commodiCus port of Albany, at the
back of Cape LeeuWin, it is a voyage
Of about our days to Adelaide, the
nearest available terminal on the con-
tinentaI railway system. Inasmuch as
the railways of the commonwealth are
altogether built, owned and operated
by the state. the W~estralians have felt
that they are entitled to the building
of the long link that viii join their
own colonial railway with those Of he
southern and eastern coasts. Under
the government ownership law it is
prohibited to enlist private capital in
such a work; the only ecourse IS to
secure the action Of the common
wealth., for the road desired would fall
under the designation of Interstate
commerce. Should Western Australia
secede, its transcontinental road would
be no nearer construction It is 500
miles from Coolgardie to the eastern
boundary, beyond which the colony
may not build on its own
and It is not to be conceived that South
Australia, already under a heavy tax
