W0MAN'S BODY.
MUT|LATED is
FOUND ADRIFT'

New York, July 28:-William
Gould, a boatman of Stapleton, S. l.,
found a part of the body of a wom-
an floating up the bay on the food
tide yesterday off Stapleton. The
head and arms were missing and
the legs had been cut off at the
knees. Gould towed the body to st.
George, where it was viewed by
Coroner Jackson and the police.
Coroner Jackson said that he
thought that the legs had been cut
off by a surgeon or a butcher, be.
cause of the clean edges of the cut
and the way the joints had beer
separated. In his opinion the body
had been in the water at least two
months. There was no clothing tc
aid in an identification.

NEW DECATUR MAN
 PATENTS HIS CHOPPER

New Decatur. March 1I.--(Special.) )-1t is believed that after all these years of study and trial and the invention of num- erous cotton choppers by various men throughout the country. none of which seem to have proven satisfactory, that M. C.. Burch of New Decatur has solved the problem of cotton chopper that is going to prove a success and one that will revolutonize the production of cot ton and bring the work of not only chop ping but of cultivation as well down to a minimum. for MT. Burch's inven- ton is a cultivator as well as chopper
 The patent has just been granted and HOW MT. Burch is making his arrange ments to have the choppers manufac- tured.
 MT. Burch is, and has been for many years, one of the leading business men of New Decatur. During the early part of his life he farmed extensively for a number of years and is no novice at rais- ing cotton. He had thoroughly tested the chopper before he went to the expense and trouble of having It patented and found 1t success in every way. Others who have experimented with the chopper say it is a marked success and that with the use of the copper hoe is not needed in the field

IMPROVEMENTS AT
 THE UNIVERSITY

University, March -(Special.) 1.-The meeting of the board of trustees of the university which had been called for the purpose of accepting the new buildings, Smith and Conner halls, and the improve ments on Woods hall. and attending to other necessary matters, took place in the office of the president yesterday.
 Upon the refusal of MT. Lockwood, the architect, to recommend the acceptance of the structures at this time on account of the fact that some details are as yet unfinished, the board deferred action un- til the regular meeting at commencement The building committee was instructed to take charge of the work and bring it to completion unless the contractors have finished everything by May l.
 The matter of repairing Manly, Clark and Garland halls caused much diseus- sion. It was finally decided to appro- priate s2l GOO for this purpose. But this amount is inadequate for the complete renovation of the three buildings. The building committee was therefore unable to reach a final decision as to what re- pairs should be made, and as to the awarding of the contract. I'll. committee will on this account, either be called to- gether again or settle the matter by cor respondence.
 The board attended to other matters of importance. Judge T. w. Coleman's resignation as chairman of the executive committee was accepted and Judge H. B. Foster was put in his place. Daniel Pratt was placed upon the committee to fill the
