Schooner Thomas W. Holder
Ashore and Full of Water on
the Massachusetts Coast
Highland Light. Mass. October 10—
The crew of a large three-mastcd
schooner which went ashore last night
near Caboon's Hollow Life Saving Sta-
tion was resorted at daybreak this mor-
ning through the united efforts of the
men from Cahoons Hollow and the Pa-
mct River life saving stations. The
vcsscl is the Thomas W. Holder. of
lkrston. bound from Liverpool, N. S..
for New York with a cargo of pulp
wood. .
The schooner ls well up on the bar.
is full of water. and it is thought it
will be a difficult task to save her.
The Thomas W. Holder was built at
Bucksport. Maine. in 1875. is of 231 tons
and 121 feet in length. She is largely
owned in St. Johns, N. ’B.
'l‘hc Holder met with heavy weather
almost at the beginning of the voyage
and she was slightly damaged by a
gale which swept theNova Scotia coast
last Friday night. Yesterday she was
[makihg fair progress but after sunset
1 she ran into a bank of fog off the Cape
Cod. A high wind blowing in from
the sea drove the schooner close to the
shore and at Ioo'clnrk she struck hard
on the breakers just ndrth of Cahoon s
Hollow Life Saving Station. The lights
of the stranded craft were seen by the
patrol of Caboon's Hollow and Pamet
River Stations and both crews boarded
her. They stood by until (bylight
when the ochooner's men were landed.
The vessel apparently was hopelessly
on the rocks.

Flesh Wounds that were Probahiv lode
while Cutting the Bodv to Pieces —
Wrapped in Paper and had Been
In Water but a Short Time.
New York, October Iii—The upper
part of a woman's body was found on
the beach at Quarantine Station at 7
a. m., today by John Heineman. 12
years of age. The portion of the body
found was from the waistline to the
neck. The appearance of the flesh
showed it had been but a short time in
’he water. . it was done up with twine
and pieces of manila paper and news-
paper cllng to the twine. Most of the
paper was washed away. Over the
right breast was a out about two in-
ches long. but Dr. Doty. health odlcer
of the port. who saw the cut, said it
was merely a flesh wound and probably
infilcted while cutting the body in pic—
ces. The doctor said this portion of
the body was the upper part of a young
woman and that the woman had never
bcen a mother. The part where the
head had been cut off was quite jagged
and the head had evidently been back-
ed off; the arms were cut off close to
the shoulders and also showed clumsy
work. The police were notified imme-
diately.
0n the clothing found last fight by
the police at 219 West Fifteenth street
it was said today that the laundry
mark ”J. J. N.—183" had been discov-
ered. This was believed to be a clue
o the mystery surrounding the death
if the woman. dismembered parts of
show body have been found at var-
ous places about the city.
The piece was originally wrapped in
I World, the date of which was effac-
zd by the action of the water and was
tied with what is known as special
yachting marline. which is similar to
fish line used in blue fish trolling. It
was tied twice across the length and
twice across the width of the package
and was knotted in such a manner as
to form a convenient loop or handle for
carrying it by. The paper had been
washed off in large pieces. Where the
cords crossed the largest pieces of pa-
per. which still adhered. were found.
Captain McCluskey. of the detectivc
force. said it was quite possible that
the murder, if such it was. had not
been committed in New York city at
‘1". but that it had been done in some
othcr city and the parts of the body
brought here. Captain McClusky
thought the clothing found last night
at 219 West Fifteenth street had no
bearing on the case. In his opinion the
bundle was left where it was found by
a frightened thief. Even with the por-
tion of the body found off Quarantine
Captain McCIusky thought identifica-
tion would be almost impossible unless
thc hcad should .be found.
The police of Brooklyn found later
in the day a human skull. with; the top
sawvd off. _ It was picked up in u lot
near Washington avenue and Mont-
gorucry strcet. The skull had been
prcscrvcd in alcohol for a time. A por-
tion of the flesh of the. lower part of
the face still adhered'to the bones. Part
of the windpipe also rcmained. The
New York police were notified and sent
detectives to investigate the Brooklyn
find.
Shortly after the arrival of the piece
of the body from Staten Island at the
Morgue here. it was given out that it
contained the heart, lungs and por-
tions of the stomach. The detectives
say there is a cut over the heart which
they believe to be a stab wound.

DEWEY CHEERED AT TROY.
Troy. N. Y.. October iii-Admiral
Dewey arrived in the Union Depot in

depot and torpedoes wcre. exploded
ilong the tracks as the train approach-
ed the station. Dcafenig cheers were
.riven him, while hats. handkerchiefs.
inncs and umbrellas were waved.
thn the train stopped women sur-
rounded the rear end of the coach
and clamored for an opportunity of
shaking his hand. but he pimply snoo..
his head. Several letters were thrown
at the admiral. No speech was made.
and the train was in the depot less
than five minutes. leaving without any
change.

New York. October IO—A heavy dull
mantle of fog hung over New York and
vicinity at 6 o'clock this morning and
the waters were almost as smoothas
glass. The pilot boats off Stapleton. S.
1.. at that hour, rode listlessly at their
anchors. with mainsails hoisted and
flapping. waiting for air enough to get
under way for the Hook. Nothing
could be seen 300 yards from the shore.

THE GOLF CAPE BRIGADE.
Off the Battery ten newspaper and
other tugs and a side-wheeler were
taking passengers on board. but there
was no animation in the scene. The
hustle and bristle of the three disap-
pointing days of last week had taken
all the vim out of "going to the races."
The "golf cape brigade" was in evi-
dcncc at The Battery at 7 a. m., but
that was all and the ladies wearingthat
apparel were evidently bound for the
"lilo-wheeler, William Fletcher. which
’lcw the Shamrock's flag at hcr forward

WEATHER VA NES MOVING.
By T a. in. there was a change. The
weather vanes began gctting a move on
them. and. after a few indecisive fiut-
let's here and there. they gently and
with one accord turned to the west-
ward and then minted northwest as a
light morning air from that point of
the compass began flitting over the riv-
m. and bays. enabling the oyster
«loops and fishing smacks. pilot boats
'nd coasters to weigh anchor and heart
for the Narrows with some signs of
4110011. This was the state of affairs
ibout New York city in the. early
hours.
DENSE FOG AT THE HOOK.
Off Sandy' look. the wires reported.
he mooning of the fog siren bad con-
inucd through the night at regular in-
‘crvals. Dense fog and mist prevailed
there at 6 a. m. The ocean. a couple of
hundred feet away. could barely be
men from the observatory. A light
'lII‘ from the west came through the
wort-holes of the observatory. but it
was not livcly enough to straighten out
he nortlicast storm signals which svcrc
lisplnycd from the govcrnmcnt flag-.
ruff. It was then hoped at Sandy
'look that the. weather Would clear up
luring the morning and that the pre—
ilctions from Washington of a breeze
vould comc true.
WEATHER SHABPS NOT OBJECT-
ED.
The weather report from Long
lranch at 7:30. said the wind was
inrth northwest there. but very light.
with the sea smooth. :1 thick fog hang-
ng ovor the coast and observation not
iver two miles.
The Highlands of Navesink at 8 a.
11. reported that a light wind from the
year was blowing there at that hour.
but that observation was completely
obstructed by the fog. These weather
'ndlcations were decidedly not encour-
1ging to those who were hoping tor a
fine yachting breeze. but the weather
elrarps were not so dejected as the av-
rragc citizen. They squintcd around
he horizon. concentrated their atten-
‘ion on the western and northwestern
dry. and then omitted the prophecy
‘bat the wind would most likely come
'rom the westward. and that if the
wcniher cleared rip before noon the.
'tolumbia and Shamrock might have a
breeze favorable to a race.
A bet of 8500 even money that Sham-
-ock would win the cup was offered
this morning on the Stock Exchange

YACHTS AT THEIR MOORINGS.

Dalzell—There will apparently be no

Shamrock and the Columbia are at

and the brene Is not strong enough to

Three Men Beat and Rob her and
leave her Dead on the
Streets of Lowell.
Loivcli. Mass" October Iii-Tho body
of .1 young woman was found in a lone-
ly place on i’awtuckct street. near the
I llcrrimac river here. at 2 a. m. it was
}:\’I1If'llt that the woman had been
, atrrtnglcd to death. and the police think
the motive was a‘criminal assault. It
is thought that she was a stranger in
i this city.
The police also claim to have evi-
;ricnce that a mhn who was with the
' woman was beaten and robbed by three
men who had followed the couple to
i the scene of the tragedy.
| Joseph H. Budjford and wife. living
i about fifty yards from where the body
was found. heard a man. evidently in-
itoxicated. and a woman quarreling in
rmnt of their house after midnight.
'Mr. Budjford ordered them to move
ion and as they did so he noticed that
three men who had been hiding behind
trres across the street followed them.
i He started out on his bicycle after a
ipollccman. When he returned. in an
‘hour or more with a patrolman. the
woman was found dead. lying by the
side of the road.
I Mrs. Budjford. during her husband‘s
' absence. had heard screams. and short-
ly afterwards saw three men go up to
’a street lamp near her door. She heard
. one say: "it's a silver open face watch
i and it's five minutes to 1 by it." while
lanother said “i have this to defend
'me." They then apparently returned
to the pair. for in a short time Mrs.
Budjford heard the woman cry. "Now.
you've done it" and afterwards heard
her moan. Then silence fell. and th-
2 three men walked hurriedly away from
I the scene. The dead woman apparent-
. ly was alvout thirty-two years of age.
j About the neck was discolorations that
led the police to believe that she was
choked to death.
