Kulton says the wound mlKht have been made with a holtle. and thla makes It poaalble that the unfortunate woman was murdered by one of the men In the bout. Then there Is another story. It la elated by some that the woman was seen In Aatorla yesterday, und that sho was murdered here. It la also stated thnt she was seen In company with two persons whose names, however, were not Riven. The tellers of thla story think Mlas Gun Ion wss murdered enrly yesterday and hat her body was taken to one of the iloeks nearest Smith's point and there cast adrift. Hut If this be true, what has become of the woman's brother and Mellan.lt T Tho three persons left Clifton at the same time and neither of the men hue been reported na hnvlnR arrived nt Astoria. The most pl.tuslble theory Is thnt the whole party was murdered nenr Tiwiruo Point. Had the crlmo been committed above the ToiiRiie, the body of the woman would not have drifted so tar. Apparently the parly was attacked w hile In the boat, the two men bcliiR shot. As all were drunk when they left Clifton, tho woman wns probably asleep in the bottom of the boat. Mlsa (1 union was then discovered and beaten to ibnth with un oar or a bottle.

The Scheme Not Feasible, and Will Prob ably Not lie Tried. Exchange. A writer In nn Eastern Journal sug gests the plan of having a peripatetic ladles' maid who will serve a number ol mistresses, Jusl as syndicates of half a doxen men or more employ one man to perform the duties of vnlet for all ot them. The scheme docs not seem feas ible, however. It Is possible enough for one active man to look after the clothes of a doxen masters, lay out their linen and perform similar services preliminary to the actual work of dressing. o, too, a mold could do a lot of mending for several women In a day. Hut she would he a sewing woman, und not a maid. The bitter's chief function, as It seems to a mere man and a tiachelor at that, Is to assist her mistress In putting nn und taking off her gowns, performing the little- personal services that are most Important before or after n bull or din ner. And how would the several mis tresses manage at such a time? The maid could not lie In two places nt one time, like Sir Royle Roches' bird, nnd the mistresses would have to draw lots to determine In what order they should have her services. The position of them would be us enjoyable us that of a San Francisco girl who postponed engaging the hnlnlesser In vogue to do up her hair for a bal poudre until the lust moment, and then found that all his hours were taken up except 8 o'clock In the morn ing. Sho had to tie up at that un christian hour, und to remain up all day, lest her coiffure should bo disarranged. GREEK AND RUSSIAN. The Approaching Mart rage of Princess Mario and Grand Duke George. Exchange. Princess Marie of Greece, who has Just been betrothed to the Grand Duke George of Ruslsu, Is not beautiful, although dis patches claim she Is tho huiulsoincst and wittiest princess In Europe. This Is done every time u princess becomes en gaged, however. Princess Marie Is tall and athletic nnd hor expression Is so pleasant and viva cious thnt she charms at first sight. Sho Is tho only survlvng daughter of the king and queen of Greece, and ns her mother wns a Russian grand princess, It Is natural that sho should Inherit Mus covite tendencies. Tt Is believed the en gagement was hastened on account of n rumor that Kink Alexander of Servln, who has been refused by nearly every marriageable priness In Europe, was coming to Athens to nsk for her hand. Princess Marie's ehler sister was a re markably sweet disposltloned ami lovable girl, but her death soon after nor mar riage to Grand Duke Paul, brother of the man Trlncess Mario Is to marry, was lielloved to bo hastened by his brutality and unklndness. It Is said thnt Grand Duko George, the prospective bridegroom, Is a much better man thnn his brother. Ho Is nn uncle of the present cxar. One of his brothers visited the United States with the Russian fleet nt the time ot the World's fair.

It Is believed that the deaths of the ln)urei and the full recovery of the dead will bring the dead list here well up to 2"J. In East St Louis (he city oHIclala de clared this evening that they nave hope that the death roll on that side of the river will not exceed 150. but the ruins upon which the rescuers have not yet began work may swell the total far be yond that figure. The estimates upon the property loss have grown wider and further apart. Guesses were made today all the way from $l'J0.iK to tVi.Oun.ns) for St. I,oul ami from fl.Maj.OM to for East St. Louis. The most popular estimate Is in tha neighborhood of $2a.i"V"i for both cities.

His story Is that while viewing the wreck he saw half a doxen men Jump on the man. who had tcen loafing about In the crowd. Then the crowd Jumped on the man and kicked him until he was uncon scious. Some one cried "Lynch the thief." Then the crowd picked up his limp form and carried It to Russell avenue, where they put It In a dirt wagon and carted It off. The Cltlxens" League Issued the follow ing announcement tonight in reference to the offers of aid from cities through out the United States: "The league endorses the action or Mayor Walbridge In declining outside aid. It feels grateful for the many evi dences of generosity In these help offer ings, but having made careful Investi gation of the storm stricken district, which though extensive. Is almost en tirely confined to a section of the city outside of the principal business area. It Is Its deliberate Judgment that the city will be amply able to fully provide for all the needs of the afflicted. They further announce that not a single hotel In the city has been affected, or the wholesale manufacturing district ma terially Injured. The slight Injury to the building erected for the Republican con vention has been repaired and the build ing Is now ready for occupancy. St. Louis, May . One of the features of the storm, and one of the after-effects which was somewhat feared, was the large number of horses killed, tin every side could be seen the mangled bodies of these animals. The police department was busy all day removing carcasses und none too soon, for the warm weather ot the past two days had already started decomiioeltlon. The railroad yards are gradually being cleared of the debris, rendering the move ment of trains possible, but It will be weeks before anything like order can be restored. A Indies' relief corps has been organis ed. Committees have been appointed from all the churches of the city and are actively at work soliciting; aid and are meeting with good success. Tickets will be distributed to needy ones for food and shelter. Mayor Ruder estimates that Sou families are left entirely destitute and will need immediate sustenunce. Many have not even sufficient clothing. THOMAS BYRNES NEW SPHERE. Former Superintendent of Police at the Head of a Burglary Insurance Business. New York, May 29. Thomas Byrnes, former superintendent of the New York police department, has spread dismay throughout the great army of crooks and brought Joy to the heart of the su burban resident by the announcement ot his latest scheme. It Is a business enter prise pure nnd simple, n new departure in the Insurance line, whereby n man may get his goods and chattels Insured agnlnst the depredations of burglars. Mr. Byrnes has been chosen by nn In surance company to act ns managing di rector nnd vice-president of a new branch of their business, which Is to deal solely with tho Insurance of all kinds of prop erty, private nnd public, against thieves. "The Idea of starting nn Insurance against burglary has been more thnn once suggested to me," said Sir. Byrnes yesterday. "Hut I have several times refused to undertake It. However, during a recent trip to England, I was given un opportunity of looking more deeply Into the working nnd effect of the burglary Insurance companies there, und when 1 dime back to New York and the proposal was once more made I was Induced to accept this position. "The first English company there are two or three working successfully now was stnrted in the winter of 1S8S-18S9, and was tho result of a co-operation scheme started by two young stock brokers, to protect their house during their absence rrwn town every a.,n. it worked so Well that they h.nl the company Ini or eraleij. "1 ilon't know much nfrfnit the Insur ance business, but I think I know a thing or two uboul crooks and it,. Ir wnys and, of course, my relations with (he po lio, departments of other cltle will give mo a great advantage. It lias always IsM-n my Idea to ssstnt the 1'Kal authori ties lo tho fullent extent, but If they fall, wo will send from one to one hundred men If necessary to the scene of the pub glary, and we won't give up until we get the man who did the Job. "1 closed with the cxmpuny a few days ago and was elected a vice-president and a director. Henjunln F. Tracy, former secretary of tho navy, Is president, and I will open my office in lirondway and be gin Issuing polki-a about the llrst of the week." RAIDING NEAR HAVANA.

Cuba, May 29. -One thousand Insurgents raldud the vicinity of Hojo Colorado, between Havana and (iuanaja yesterday, setting tire to caneiielda and tolKtceo plantations, and drl. ing off slock. Cltlxens are fleeing to this city. An Insurgent force entrenched In the town of llunes, on the roud to Gunnajay, was surprised ami driven out by Spanish troops last evening after a hot skirmish. The rebel loss was six killed, the bodies being abandoned in their flight. General Serrano Altamlra reports hav ing a skirmish yesterday with Quintan Ilanderos' outposts, near Sun Cristobal. The loss on either side was trifling. The rebels are again using dynamite. A bomb exploded yesterday under a pas senger train on tbe Maunxas and Santa Clara railway, near Collseo. The can were derailed, but the passengers were unhurt Reports from Santiago de Cuba say that Diego Palacios, second In command In Cebreco's rebel band, was mortally wounded in a recent engagement with Teleda's government column, near Canto Al-ajo. M. Clare, special agent of the Panama Canal Comtwny, who has been bere for a fortnight contracting for laborers for the Isthmus, sailed yesterday for New York. Colonel Delgudo reports that tils com mand has hud an engagement with one thousand rebels under Aleraan and other leaders near Cruces, in the Clenfuegoa district. According to the official report the rebels were dislodged from a strong1 position and compelled to flee In disorder, leaving twenty-two dead on the Held, The troops lost eighteen men wounded.

Three trains were sent to Artemlsa to bring troops from rfie trocha, but they were unable to reach that place, the rebels having destroyed the tracks. TRADE REVIEW. Improvement Noted in Business Circles of the East New York. May 29 Bradstreets tomor row will say: The Improvement In the tni.Ie situation Is confined to the demand for hides, leath er and shoes, wllh a tendency of prices of the same to advance. Generally a bett?r feeling exists among sugar pro ducers and planters In Louisiana and Texas because of the recent sugar boun ty decision. General business continues quiet and at the larger financial centers less com mercial paper is making, even at larger rates.

Harrlsburg, Pa., May 29. The order ot Captain General Mayler prohibiting fur ther exportation of Cuban tobacco, except to Spain, is attracting much attention in tile tobacco belt of Pennsylvania. At the prevailing prices Pennsylvania tobacco has not been a profttoole crop during the lust four years. The war In Cuba, however, has encouraged the to bacco growers to increase their acreage somewhat and to pay more attention to cultivation and curing before General Wcyler Issued his edict Those who have kept their eyes open will be likely to profit handsomely this year from their shrewdness.

The president to day vetoed the river and. harbor bill. In hi veto messtge President Cleveland says: "There are 417 Items of appropriation containel In this bill, and every part of tbe country Is represented In the dlstribi tion of Its favors. It directly appropri ates or provide for the Immediate ex penditure of nearly tU.uuV.Ots) for river ana harbor works. This sum Is In addition to the appropriation contained In an other bill for similar purposes amounting; to little more than U.wjo.ooO. which has already been favorably considered at tha present seaslon of congress. Tho result Is that tho contemplated immediate ex penditure for the object mentioned mount to about tl7,0O0,iuo. "Tha most startling feature of this but la, It authorization of contract for river and harbor work amounting; to mora than fS2.ino.0Ou. Though the payment ot these contracts are In moat cases so dis tributed that they are to be met by fu ture appropriation, more than KM.OOs om their account la included In the direct appropriation above mentioned. Of these, nearly !20.uuO,ijO will fall due during the fiscal year ending June 3U, Is, and amount of somewhat less In the years Immediately succeeding. If, therefore, thla bill becomes a law, the obligation which will be imposed on the government together with appropriations made for Immediate expenditure on account of riv ers and harbors, will amount to about t).0uO,'Aie. For the fiscal year ending June 30. such appropriations, together wttn tbe In stallments on contracts which will fail due in that year, can hardly be less than . RO.W.iM. and it may reasonably bo apprehended tbe prevalent tendency tow ard Increased expenditures of tbls sort, and the concealment which poetponed payments afford for extravagance, will increase the burdens chargeable to this account in succeeding years.
