the top of 18th street hill. They have
built several handsome dwellings in the
squares Immediately north Of their own
home, and the part of the ground upon
which the MacVeagh house is being built

Secret Leaks Out.
But ever since the work was begun
upon this new structure there has been
an air Of mystery about the place.
The builders. the George a. Fuller Com
pany, hav. declared they did not know
who was the owner and prospective oc-
cupant of the premises, and it was de-
clared repeatedly that Corcoran Thorn,
trust officer of the American Security
and Trust Company, and Nathan c.
Wyeth. the architect, were the only per-
sons in the secret-because it was Sc
cret, naturally. if the Secretary of the
Treasury was to have a real surprise on
the morning Of Christmas day.
1t was stated this morning that the
architect, Mr.. Wyeth, was out of the
city. and the officers of the American Sc
curity and Trust Company declared they
could give no Information concerning the
18th street house. 1t developed later in
the day, however, that fully half dozen

and by all of these sources of informa
ton the statement was made emphatic
ally that the big residence will be the
Washington home of the MacVeaghs.
In the plans for the new dwelling have
been included space for a large muse
room, and one of its features will be a
magnificent pipe organ. In it's completed
state the structure will cost more than a
quarter of a million dollars.

on Gen. Oliver, the acting Secretary Of

PLEASES BUSINESS MEN

Although fast mail train No. As. on
the Pennsylvania railroad, which ar
rived in this city at els o'clock in the
morning has been taken off by the
company, by special arrangement
made by o. X. Harms, who has charge
of the railway mail service in this
city, Richmond merchants will receive
just as quick mail service between
here and New York city as hereto
fore. When the fast mail train was
put on several weeks ago, local mer-
chants were greatly elated over the
fact that they were given such immed-
late and efficient connection with the
eastern metropolis. However, the
company deemed it advisable to take
this train off recently and it was up
to Mr.. Harms to solve the problem OF
quick mail service again. Through a
special arrangement with the postal
authorities and the Pennsylvania Rail
road company passenger train No. 81
which arrives in this city at 3:55 a
m. but does not stop will throw mail
off at this point. The train leaves

mond mail at Pittsburg, which will be
carried to this city in the baggage
car and thrown off.

A SUCCESSFUL WEEK

The Blanden Stock company has
just closed one of the most successful
weeks in it's history. At almost ev-
cry performance of the past week at
the Gennett, the s. r. O. sign was
hung out shortly after the doors op-
ened: At the play "Du Barry. given
yesterday afternoon. the small theater
was taxed to it's utmost capacity, eX-
ira seats being placed in the boxes
and isles of the balcony. The COM
pany is one of the best that has ever
been seen in this city and the manage
ment of the Gennett theater has been
besieged with requests among local
play goers to secure return date.
The company will probably be booked
again later in the season, it is said.
The Blanden Stock company is con-
siderably above the average run of
companies of this nature and it's rep
ertoire consists Of many high class
productions.

A SUIT BY TURKEY

Berlin, Jan. 1.-As a last resort the
government of Turkey is bringing suit
against the German Imperial Bank
here in the hopes of recovering vast
amount of money deposited in the
bank by ex-Sultan Abdul Homie.
The money, amounting to nearly a
million and quarter dollars was de-
posted by the deposed sultan and the
bank accepted the deposit on condi-
ton that it should be paid out only
when Abdul's signature was accom-
panied by a certain seal.
Unfortunately this seal was lost
during the revolution and cannot be
duplicated. The bank has declined
numerous appeals to pay over the
money.
The existence of the deposit only
came to the knowledge of the recent
Turkish government few weeks ago
through letter from the bank adj
dressed to eX-Sultan which fell into
the hands of Chefget Pasha, the
Young Turk general who censors all
Abdul Hands correspondence.
The government takes up the posi-
ton that all such money were accu-
mulated by Abdul Hamid by robbery
of the state and should therefore be
returned to the latter.

SHE MADE A FIERCE
FIGHT BEFORE DEATH
Death Wound Was Caused by
A Terrible Blow Which
Crushed Her Skull There

(American News Service)

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 1.-One of the
most brutal crimes in the criminal
history of this city was discovered to-
day when the lifeless and fearfully
mutilated body of Miss Anna Boyd.
capable young business woman, was
found in lonely ravine near the Gin
chr att stock yards, in the western
end of the city.
Miss Lloyd was the secretary OF the
Hanna Wiborg Lumber company and
the crime was committed last night
soon after she left the office of the
firm to go to her home in the east
end. She had but short distance
to walk from the office to the car
line but had to pass the ravine. a
secluded spot overrun with weeds.
Boys Find the Body.
Her body was discovered by party
of boys. The trampled condition of
the ground about the spot, the torn
and disheaveled state Of her clothing
showed that the young woman had
made valiant fight against her as
sailant before she succumb' ID to her
death wound. a terrific blow over the
head. that crushed her skull. Her
throat was cut from ear to ear but
physicians who examined the body be-
lieve that the fiend dashed the body
after he saw the life of his victim
was extinct. There was also evidence
of an assault. The police did not find
any clew to the crime today, but Sc
cured evidence that fixed the time of
hot - o.
when Miss Lloyd left the lumber Of

Robbery Not Motive.
A few minutes before the latter hour
passerby picked up muff that was
identified today as the property of the

not hear any noise of the conflict Her
pocketbook, which contained only a
small amount of change. was found
several squares away from the scene
of the murder. The fiend did not take
her watch, nor three rings she Wore,
one of them an engagement ring, thus
showing that robbery was not the mo-
tive for the attack.

FOG WAS HEAVY ONE

A heavy thick fog settled over the
city last evening resembling in its ma
ture the famous London fogs. The
fog continued throughout the greater
portion of the night, and it was i'm
possible at times to see across the
street so dense was the atmosphere.
A disagreeable, drizzling rain accom-
panied the fog and the night was par
ticularly unpleasant one.
