J., examining the body of Mrs. Otelia Eberhard, which was found early today lying on the tracks of the New York. Suequehanna and Western railroad near coalberg. N. J., discovered bullet wounds. A passing train had cut the body in two. Otella Eberhard. a daughter of the dead woman. was wounded three times by bullets and dragged herself mile to an isolated farm house.
 The police are hunting for August Eberhard. nephew of the murdered woman. believing that he may know something of the crime Mrs. Eber- hard and her daughter arrived from Vi- enna last Thursday on the invitation of August Eberhard, her nephew. The Eberhard girl states that there was an understanding that Auguet was to marry her. Yesterday Miss Eberhard says. she and her mother were invited by August to go to Rochelle Park, in New Jersey. and that they wandered around there until evening. At the coalberg Coal pockets the girl says she saw flash between two cars and heard a revolver shot, followed by a series of shots. She started to run and felt that she was hit Her cousin, she says, ran up to her and urged her to hurry away. After running with her few et ha sIa Ht to taH aH she heard more pistol shots.
 Miss Eberhard says her mother had S2,200 in United States currency and $500 in German notes when they left for their excursion. The s2.200 was missing when the body was found. The German money was untouched.
 The shooting was heard by John Platt, farmer, whose land is near the coal pockets. He said he noticed two well dressed young men hanging around the coal pockets about o'clock in the evening
 Young Eberhard had been working in Manhattan but left a week ago and had been seen at his place of em. l ployment but once since. on Friday when he made casual call.
 The police say that Eb erhard, too may have been murdered, and hi. body disposed of. Meanwhile, how. ever, they are making every effort tt locate him if he is alive.
 Consciousness left her then. She ha, been struck three times by bullete none of which, however, caused seri l ous wounds.

was fairly under way only pride pre-
vented Nella from turning back. The
bigness Of the city and the vastness OF
the sea made her feel how small and
utterly insignificant she was. She
wanted to lay hes, head on, her moth,
er's shoulder and be petted into con-
tentment again.
Quietly size moved from the port to
the starboard side of the ship, where
she could watch the loading of cargo
steamer from lighter. She tried to.
forget that on the port side were men
and women who were to be her asso-
ciates for few days saying goodby to
their friends. while she fought back
the tears Of lonesomeness.
Then slowly the big ship began to
slip out Of her berth, the hoarse whis-
ties sounding an alarm to the traffic of
the harbor. Now they were in mid
stream, and one Of the tugs had pressed
her nose against the towering black
side Of the ship and begun to pant and
labor rs slowly the stern was pushed
upstream. while the sister tug forced
the bow In the direction Of the Mar
rows.
Then the engines took on a more
steady beat, and the noise of the shout
Ing on the pier grew fainter until 1t
could no longer be heard. The voyage
was begun.
Nella waited on deck until the last
faint trace Of land disappeared; then
she stumbled with tear blinded eyes
through the narrow gangways to the
little cabin which she occupied alone.

were being said. Some of the more
cautious among the home stayers had
already gathered at the end of the
pier to wave farewells cut short on
the deck through the fear of being
carried off, and others were trooping
down the gangplank.
Now and then couple of cabin
stewards rushed up the gangway bear
ing the steamer trunks and parcels of
some belated arrival, and from the
pier the sharp exhaust of the donkey
engines punctuated the farewells aa
the busy drums coiied and uncOiled
the ropes by which the last of the hold
luggage was being rushed to the cav.
ernous depths of the huge ship.
Busy little tugs puffed about the end
Of the pier to assist In turning the
huge bulk Of the steamer. and man
in Il rOwboat padded about the stern
to be on hand In case of an accident.
To Nella Wynn the scene was decid-
edly novel. Only the day before she
had arrived in New York from her
inland home for the purpose of en-
barking, and for the frst time she had
realized what steamer really was.
Now she could scarcely believe that
presently this great black vessel would
slip down the bay and SO out to the
broad ocean beyond the sight OF land.
For time she was absorbed in watch
ing the crowds, but the very presence
Of this crush of humanity presently
began to weigh upon her spirits.
1t had been hard to raise the funds
to send her abroad. so none of the
family had been able to accompany
her to New York. She had no ac-
quaintances in the city, and she was
absolutely alone in this mob of leave
takers. There was no one to stand on
the edge Of the pier and wave farewell,
no one to give, her a.friendly farewell
kiss. She was even more alone than
the little crowd of returning emigrants
huddled on the lower deck forward.

great thing to be going to Paris to
