A Public Reception.

Boston. July 30.-The host of home-comers who are in this city at tending the old home week exercises were rendered a public reception to- day at which they were welcomed to the state and city by Governor Guild and Mayor Fitzgerald. The feature of the sporting events of the day was a muster and play out of veteran firemen. half a hundred hand tubs participating in the display on the common, after a march through the principal streets of the city this fore noon. Three families whose mem bers are scattered over many sections of the country gathered here for their reunions and one of them. the Fairbanks family. had as its presi- dent the yice-president of the Unitsd States

WORK OF STRANGLER
Two Women Found Dead in New YOrk-The Police Drag
 net is Out.

New York, July 30.-The bodies of two women with the marks of the strangler on their throats have been found here within the last twelve hours and the police have cast a dragnet over the city to catch the slayer. The police believe that one man committed both crimes. Neither of the victims have been identified.
 The body of one woman was found in an areaway on East 90th street. The marks of a thumb and forefinger were visible on the throat and the face and neck were smeared with blood. The woman was about 27 years old. No clue to her identity was found. No one in the neighbor- hood heard sounds of a struggle.
 The body of the other woman also the victim of strangler was found last night in Twenty-second street boarding house. The woman came to the house Sunday with a man who gave the name of Davis. Her body was found last night in the room the couple had occupied. A necktie had been knotted tightly around her throat and she had been dead for several hours.
 The blood vessels in the neck wert broken and the woman's clothing was drenched in blood. No trace of the man, who had the appearance of a foreigner, has been found, nor have the police made any progress in their attempt to establish the identity of the dead woman. She was about 24 years old.

TROUBLE BREWING.
Aspirant for Political Honors May
 Disrupt Republican Party.

The republican managers are hay ing some trouble in getting together on candidate for city sheriff While there does not appear to be much prospect of anybody on that ticket
 winning out there is a good deal of scramble for the nomination. w. J. Rigney, who was defeated two years ago by the present incumbent, M. J. Smith wants another trial, and his friends claim if he doesn't get 1t
 there will be trouble, but 1t looks now as though he may have hard scratching.
 It is understood that nobody will
 be put on the ticket who does not re- ceive the indorsement of the new Republican club. and if one can be- lieye what he hears, Rigney is not the choice of the club just now, though, to be sure, he may be before
 fall, for new timber is said to be going in every day, and if this be so the ex-sheriff may come to the front at the rounding up. In an case three or four are training for the, sprinting match and who ever gets 1t will have to hustle. So far everything is in the air, the mayoralty nomination included, and you can't find two men in the party who knows much about the game. John Sewell had the pole for the mayoralty nomination for a time, but he didn't hold 1t long. even those who trotted him out being of the opinion now that he wOulcn't be in 1t with Thoms. Unless something unexpectee turns up Mayor Thoms will have no opposition for the democratic nomin- ation and 1t is admitted even by those who are not throwing their hats in the air for him that he will be chosen to succeed himself.
 The democrats are working and notwithstanding the effort made 5y sharp republicans to create trouble in the camp. everything is moving along without a hitch. A big row was ex- pected to result fromthe much talked of race between Frank r. Brett anI James R. Lawlor for the nomination for iowa clerk, but this thing fell through. Mir Lawlor told a Democrat reporter that he is no: q candidate for town clerk. SO that the opposition will have to hatch up some other scheme if they hope to get the demo- cratic forces divided. An all around scrap in the democratic camp is just what the republicans long to see. but the indications are not bright for any, thing of that sort this year. With A good hardshell republican senate throttling the city in Hartford, on the conduit question, it would seem that the g ? will have pretty hard sledding to get anything this fall. The corporations practically own the streets now. but the people don't in- tend to stand for that kind of legisla- tion much longer. and the day is nd, far off when the different municipaL ities will want to elect a democratic house and senate with a view to ee.. ting back what they have been rol. bed of during the past ten or ffteei years.

Maxwell Wyeth, president of the company, who signed the application for the receiver, said he believed the concern was involved to the extent of s96,000.

THE SIDEWALK LAW.
Misunderstanding About Work Being
 Done on Highland Avenue

Done on Highland Avenue.
 There appears to be some misunder- standing about the manner of laying sidewalks on Highland avenue, many being under the impression that the work is being done under the new law which went into effect on July l. This is not so. Before the passage of the new act, property owners on Highland avenue and West Main street were ordered to lay sidewalks. Some com piled with the order and others took no notice of lt. After the expiration of the time limit. the superintendent of streets was instructed to lay walks In front Of all property between the points mentioned where the owners had failed to carry out the resolution of the aldermen and charge the fun cost against the property owners. On Highland avenue. south of Ledge side avenue. such sidewalk work as ls heinz done Is carried on hy the alut- ting property owners under the old law. SO far no hearings have been held regarding sidewalks since the new law became operative, and it is doubtful fl there will be this year. fof it will take the $500 appropriated for that class of work to lay walks order e1 prior to July 1. and where the en- tire expense will have to be borne Isy private individuals. although some say that the city cannot collect more than half the cost of any walk built after fhe new law went into effect.

THE SOUTH POLE
An English Vessel With Accomo' dalious and Provisions for
 12 Persons Started To-day.

London, July 30.-The Endurance, originally a Newfoundland sealing vessel of 227 tons, but which has been refitted as steam barkentine, sail ed down the Thames to-day with the English South Polar expedition com- manded by Lieutenant E. H. Shackle- ton on board. Lieutenant Shackleton was member of the Discovery An tartic expedition under command Of Capt Scott.
 Winter quarters for twelve persons with provisions for two years will be established on King Edward VII land. and an attempt will be made to reach the south pole during the sum- mer of 1908. The equipment on board the Endurance consists. among other things of motor car provided with different sets of runners for travel over surfaces of varying softness, twelve Siberian ponies and twenty four dogs Several scientists, with elaborate apparatus, accompany the expedition.
 The Endurance Is commanded by Lieutenant Rupert England. He plans to pick up the explorers in January, 1909. Tn the meantime Lieutenant England will conduct magnetic and maritime Investigations on King Ed ward VII land, which is practically a virgin field for exploration.
 Two other Antartic expeditions are now being made ready. France has granted Dr Jean Charcot $120,OO0 for Antartic explorations and certain Bel gian societies are raising $250,OO0 to permit Henry ArctowskI, the Belgian explorer to resume his efforts to reach the South Pol e.

A., son of Major-General Frederick Dent Grant, commanding the department of the east, and grandson of the late Presl- dent Grant.
