rs HACKED TO PIECES
BRUTAL NEW YORK MURDER IN.
yoLvED IN MYSTERY.
Trunk and Limbs Are Found While
Head and Thighs Are Nissing-Po-
lice Thus Gar nave No Tangible
Clew TO Crime.

A burlap bag, stamped with the
name of ~. X, Mano," strip OF
woman's skirt and an oil clc:') table
covering bearing rude sketch of the
landing of Columbus are the only
immediate clews to the perpetrator of
a revolving murder committed in New
York Sunday.
The dismembered body of a man,
apparently an italian, wrapped in the
burlap bag was accidentally found in
a hole twenty-four feet deep forming
a part of an excavation at 604 West
Thirty-sixth street, where an addi-
ton to a brewery is to stand. The dis
covery was made by the day watch
man, and later a systematic search by
the police resulted in finding the parts
of a mans legs from the knees down
and the arms and hands. These were
wrapped together in a newspaper OF
the date Sept. 10, and bound about the
bundle was a strip of woman's skirt.
All was neatly and securely tied with
a.string, suggesting deliberate prepara-
ton. This latter bundle was found
under covering of hay in a freight
car at Thirty-sixth street and Eleventh
avenue. The car was unloaded of a
shipment of horses Sunday. The head
and the thighs of the man are miss
ing. Ii is the theory of the police that
the murder was committed near where
the body was found and that the three
packages of the dismembered parts
had been made with the purpose that
they be disposed of at some distance
from the crime. The police believe that
the persons carrying the bundles be-
came alarmed and hurriediy disposed
of them at the nearest convenient hid
ing place. They expect to find third
package In the same vicinity.
Coroner's Physician Weston, who
examined the body. said that the work
of dismemberment had been deliber-
ately and skillfuily done.
DR.. Weston said from appearances
the remains were those OF an Italian
or Syrian in life about feet inches
in height, weighing approximately 1870
pounds, and from the appearance Of
the hands probably a mechanic.

Eighth and Tenth streets, across the
river on the east side. 1t now owns
five hundred feet frontage on Eighth

or at least is not made public. 1t is
surmised, however, that the company
will use it for additional trackage
room and other purposes connected
with its growing business in the Queen
City. One report is to the effect that
the frontage gained on Eighth street
may be utilized by the erection OF
buildings for business purposes. The
location is a desirable one and will
probably be made good use OF.

The tunne! is being run into the nils
following a six-foot vein OF lgnlte,
which has already been extended
seventy feet, the intent being to driVe
the tunnel under the sand rock whlch
comprises the rim rock of the NIL. II
is believed that under this sand rock
a better quality of coal is to De Sc
cured. The coal which is to be taken
out of the tunnel appears to be hrm
enough when mined. but will slake II
exposed to the air. The section which
is being tested is not far from the
Milwaukee extension in the northern
part of the state, and if good quailty
Of coal can be secured, spur track
to the mines would not be hard to Sc

the plan practically decided upon by
the war department. Gen Frederick
Funston probably will be in COM

two officers have recently completed
an inspection of the German manue-

war department that they intend to
sail for this country on Sept. 20, but
owing to the acute situation in Cuba
they have been advised that their

New England Roads Business Shows
Great Increase

Great Increase.
1t Is estimated the yearly loss Of
nearly $750,0o0 to the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad COM
pany, tG' a result of reducing its pas
senger rate to cents a mile several
months ago, already has been turned
into actual gain in gross receipts as
compared with other years. through
an increased volume of business.
In addition to the reduction of pas
senger rates, the tariff on coal to New
England points was also reduced to a
figure, which, on the old volume of
coal business to New England points,
would have resulted in a yearly loss
of s150,0O0 to the railroad company.
The receipts to date indicate that not
only has this estimated loss been over
come, but there will be an actual gain
over other years.
