The Sigel Murder Mystery.

New York, June 2S With the dis
covery that the clothing of Elsie Sigel,
strangled to death in the room of Leon
Ling, above chop suey restaurant In

rant, in 10th street, before the girls

Eighth avenue room, the police today
are rapidly clearing their way into the
complicated net of circumstances sur
rounding the murder of the twenty-year-
old missionary girl. Captain Carey of

ed that Leon was aided in his efforts to

The trunk containing the body, the

with the suit cases containing the girls
clothing to the restaurant where the
suit cases we're left. The Chinsman
who keeps the restaurant there refused
to keep the trunk but consented to
'tske care" OF the suit cases.
Then the police believe Leon wrote
the Telegram which WAS sent to the
Sigel family from Washington, and
giving It to one of his confederales put
him on train for Washington to send
the messsge.
This explains the stories that the
police have endeaVoged in vain to recon

FIVE PERSONS DROWN.

Five persons, four of them negroes,
were drowned near Washington yester
day. Three Of the drownings occurred
Ia the Eastern Branch, near the Wash
ington Asylum Hospital, and the other
two 10 the Potomac river. The drowned
were: Lloyd Gross, aged SO years bar
tender; Henry Smith, cOlorsd, aged 81
years; Thomas II. Perry, colored. aged
80 years; Joseph Perry, aged 10 aud
Thomas Perry, sged II years.
Cross went to a boathouse at Lock
Cove. on the Potomac river, just above
the Aqueduct bridge, about 8 O'Clock In
the afternoon with Lewis Hoover,
George Thomas and james West. Gross
quickly stripped and running down 8
plank, dived into the river. Evidently
he struck his head against rock at the
bottom Of the river, for when he rose to
the surface he apparently was mi ared.
His face was desthly white, and those
who caught q glimpse Of him say he
tried to shout, but the waters closed over
his head. Two men in bathing suits
eaped into the wster and endesyored TO
rescue him. Gross came TO the surface
second time, aud sank before his would
be rescners could reach him.
Henry Smith ws' bathing in the tidal
basin near the Georgetown channel when
he was seized with cramps and drowned.
Thomas Perry and his three sons, Jo-
seph, Thomas and James, left their
home yesterday afternoon aud all four
went 10 bathing in the Eastern Branch.
None Of them could swim. For an hour
or more the father aud bis sons waded
about the stream. Suddenly all OF them
we're swept out into midstream by IN
undercurrent. The father sank FIRST,
aud Joseph and Thomas followed u. =
ment later. James, who was not as
out az his brothers and father, shouted
and tried to make bis way to shore, but
he, too, sank.
William Pruilt, jr., who was on the
shore, witnessed the affair, sprang into
the stream, and succeeded in saving
James who is IL years old. Returning
he tried 10 locate the father and the two
boys, but his efforts were fuiile.

she never acted that way to me in our
romantic meeting ia New York. She
WAS So clean ard Ms sweet and rs whole
sOme a woman IS | ever knew, or |
should not have married her, As much
as loved her"
Further dispache from st. Michsels
say developments indicate that the kill
ing of Edith WoOdill by Eastman was
the result Of hatred eogendered by her
refusal to advance him money aud her
lhrea, to expose his hiding place to the
authorities Of New York, who we're
seeking him.
1t Is said that early 10 their acqusint-
ance Eastman Invested money in stocks
for her with such success that she re-
ceived large returns.
When he met with reveises he sp-
pesled to her ia Los Angeles and re.
ceived assistance.
At her suggestion, it is said he es-
tablished himself in Talbot county as a
refuge from his pursuers.
Alter time his demands for money
became 80 insistent, ia is said, that she
refused to aid him further, though he
reminded her that her fortune had been
partly accumulated by his efforts.
In their quarrels over money it is ssid she
threatentd 70 expose his hiding plafe.
Driven to desperation, the theory is that
Eastman lured her TO his retreat to cOmpro-
mise her and that her obdurate resistance led
to the murder AMI suicide.
Additional evide ces Of the tragedy were
fourd in the bungalow yesterday, snd the in
vestigation will be continued today,

SCHOOL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Holding three long sessions for the
election Of the division school superin-
tendents in those counties and cities
where action had been deferred by the
last meeting, the Stale Board of Educa-
ton adjourned last night and announced
its tiHal conclusions. There were, of
course, many surprises, though. Two
strong men now Ia the service won out,
who bave been exceedingly doubtful
concerning their chances for many days.
One is Richard A. Dobie, of Norfolk
city. and the other DR.. Frank w. Lewis
of Lancaster county. Bitter factiOnal
opposition was offered as reason why
both Of these veterans In the service
should be turned down by the board.
In the end, however, both won.
In the case Of DR.. Lewis, it was a
straight political fight from the shoulder.
The battle against him was led by w.
Mcdonald Lee, chairman of the State
Commission of Fisheries, and Governor
SWanson's closest personal and political
friend in the Northern Neck. IL was
reported that J. II. Mrlvey, of Rocking.
ham, was TO lose his place but State
Senator Keezell, Of that county, went
to Richmond, read the riot act to the
board aud Mr.. Hulvey was reelected.
Former Lieutenant Governor Echols,
who ia also member of the Senate,
was not 30 fortunate. He was admitted
to the meeting of the board for the pur-
pose of advocating the claims of E. o.
Pesle, of Augusta county, for reelection,
but when the board came to pass finally
upon the matter, a new man, F. NJ.
SOmmerville, was elected.
The former action of the hoard in con-
solidsiing Olsrke, Frederick and Win
chester into one division was rescinded,
NJ. NJ. Lynch, the incumbent, having
been elected for the present division,
which Is composed Of the city of Win
chester aud the county Of Frederick and |
Q. G. Massey was reelected for Clarke
county,
Other superintendeuts elected we're
NJ. ID. Hall, Of Fairfax, reelected after |
having been held up at former meeting; |
@. @. Tyler, Of Prince William, sue
,eeding DR.. Fl. NJ. Olsrkson, and l.. l.. |
smith, OF Shenandoah.
There lie much talk of opposition to
he appointments Of the board in some
'sseo when the Senate meets next win
er, the latter body being, clothed with
be authority Of confirmation before the
become effective.
