Still Hangs Round Murder
and Mutilation Of
Former Nurse
Woman Was Separated From
Husband and Led
Evil Life
Plumber Who Lived With Ref
Arrested in q Dazed
Condition

New York, Oct. 2 The mystery
surrounding the antecedents of Nellie
Quinn, a former city, hospital nurse,
on RandalPs island, was dispelled to-
day, hut the motive for her murder
is as obscure as when her horribly
bruised body was found in furnish
ed rooming house here yesterday.
The victim was once a member of al
respected family Of Boston. While.
still in her teens she, married VIII
liam Quinn. Later they separated
and Quinn came to New York. Four
years ago she followed him here and
a reconciliation was erected. Later
they again separated. This much
more the police learned today, but
even the arrest of a man who admits
having been with the woman on the
day she was killed has failed to
make clear any plausible reason for
her death and subsequent attack ups
on her body. n. 81 a..ss IF VT
George Kramer, Blackwell's island
plumber. who had lived the last few
days with the woman, was arraigned
in the Tombs court as suspect in
the homicide. The prisoner, who ap-
peared dazed, told the magistrate
that he could not remember anything
he had done recently. He was held
for further examination.

far greater degree of usefulness to
correspond with the extraordinary
growth in wealth and population of
the Mississippi valley. We have Hy-.
ed in an era of phenomenal railroad
building. AS routes for merchandise,
the iron highways have completely
supplanted the old wagon roads, and
under their competition the import
ance of the water highways has been
much diminished. The growth of the
railway system has been rapid all
over the world, but nowhere SO rap
i'd as in the United States. Accom-
paying this there has grown in the
United States tendency toward the
practically complete abandonment of
the system of water transportation.
Such tendency is certainly not deal

not be permanent. There are many
classes of commodities, especially
those which are perishable in their

relatively to the bulk, which will al
ways be carried by rail. But bulky
commodities which are not of a per.
ishable nature will always be spe
cia1ly suited for the conditions OF
water transport.

Weren't "Wise."

A surprise was sprung upon the Bloom
field saloonkeepers and upon some of the
Town Councilmen at the meeting of the
Bloomfield Town Council last night, when
Councilman Frederick M. Davis, of the
Second Ward, introduced an amendment
to the present excise ordinance increasing
the license fee from $500 to $500. 1t was q

men, and caused Councilman Unangst to
remark that it's sponsor would retire from
office on January j next, while the ordi-
nance would not be operative until June,
1908. when applications for liquor licenses
will be made. MI. Unangst is of the opin-
ion that Councilman-elect George Hum
mel, who was chosen to succeed Mr.. Davis
from the Second Ward, should haVe a
voice in the matter. Whether. 1t will be
finally adopted or not is a question.
The liquor dealers of the town are OPP
posed to the raising of the fee, and several

stance he had introduced the amendment
He promised to make an explanation NJ
the next meeting of the Council, when
action will be taken in the matter.

the move was q surprise to him, but t1at
he would explain his attitude on the pro-
posed raising of the fee when a vote was
taken.
