1111111111 IDENTIFIED
Bridgeport Victim Now Said To
Be Miss Emma Gill.
‘SWEETHBART Is ARRESTED
Identity Established to the Satisfaction of
the Police. The Brother of the Murdered
Girl is Certain. An Arrest in Hartford.
Everything Seems to Verify the Facts
Stated.
Bridgeport. Conn., Sept. 22.—Tuesday
it was the general belief that the iden-
tity of the victim of the Yellow Mill
Pond murder would never be known.
Now, not only has the mutilated body
of the woman been positively identified
to the satisfaction of the police, but
a young man, who is the alleged ac-
complice in the crime, is under ar-
rest.
Superintendent of Police Birmingham
is positive that the dead girl is Emma
Gill, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Gill of Southington, and, acting under
instructions from him, Detective Smith
of Hartford: arrested in that city yes-
terday morning Walter C. Foster of
Hartford, for alleged complicity in the
girl’s death.
The identification that thoroughly
satisfied the police was made yester-
day morning by a brother of the mur-
dered girl, and in speaking of the mat-
ter Superintendent Birmingham said:
“No further proof of the identification
should be required than a glance at the
brother’s face, every feature of which
was duplicated in the features of the
dead woman.
The identification was made certain
by the discovery of a mole on the side
of the neck of the victim. This mole'
had not been noticed previously by the
police, and the brother called their at- "
tention to it before viewing the head.
Hartford, Conn., Sept. 22. —Walter C.
Foster, a young man employed as' a
salesman by the Fleischmann Yeast
Company of this city, has been arrest-
ed by Detective Walter Smith for al—
leged complicity in the Bridgeport mu: —
der mystery. The arrest was made at
the instance of the Bridgeport police,
and Foster wastaken to that city last
night.
.The arrest of Foster lends support to
the report current here that the body
of the Bridgeport victim had been iden—
tified as that of Emma Gill of South-
ington, twenty- four years old, who
worked as a domestic in the family of
James H. Pratt of that place, and who
' has been missing.
Foster kept company with her. She
left on a vacation four weeks ago, re-
turned two weeks afterward, and went
away again, pleading illness, saying
that she was going to stay with Fos-
ter’ 5 sister at Stratford.
Her parents received two letters sign—
ed by her, saying that she was ill, the
last dated September 7, and written
in another hand. After this their let-
ters were returned to hem unanswered
and marked by the postmaster “Un-
knOWn. ”

tween Bridgeport and the town of

Yacht Rebecca Founders.
Philadelphia, Sept. 22.—A dispatch
from Delaware Breakwater says that
the schooner yacht. Rebecca, owned by
Edward Dudley of Philadelphia, bound
from New York for Philadelphia, foun-
dered near the new breakwater at 3
o’clock yesterday morning.
The owner of the yacht, his guests
and crew were rescued by the tugs Vi-
dette and Hughes and taken to Lewes,
Del.
The Rebecca was a handsomely ap-
pointed yacht, 82 feet long, and of 37
tons registered.
It is thought that the accident was
caused by the absence of/a signal light
' on the end of the new breakwater. The.
yacht will be a total loss.

BLAME FOR SPAIN'S DISASTERS.
Piesident of the Peace Commission Says
It Rests on All Parties,
Madrid, Sept. 22.—Senor Montero Ri-
os, president of the Senate and presi-
dent of the Spanish peace commission,
in an interview, is quoted as saying:
on each other the blame for disasters,
the responsibility for which rested on
all parties. I, personally, have always‘
ing unable to forcibly maintain her
sovereignty‘at such a great distance.”
Continuing, Senor Montero Rios re-
marked:
“It is useless to speak of our disas-
ters. Has not the country accused all
our gove1 nmcnts of exhibiting too much
weakness towaids the United States?
What Spain wanted was a man ready
to sacrifice himself, and who recogniz-
ed the impossibility of war with‘a pow-
erful nation, especially after years of
useless conflicts with the insurgents.”
The government has decided upon the
remuneration which the peace commis-
sioners of Spain will receive for their
services while at Paris. Senor Rios
will receive twelve thousand francs
monthly and expenses, and each of the
commissioners will receiye eight thou-
sand francs per month and their ex-
penses.

Picquart Insiuuates That Henry
and Picard Were Not Suicides.
GREAT'SENSATIONIN PARIS
New Chal ges Against Dreyfus by the Minis
I ter of War. His I‘riul Before the Civil
Court Postponed. Electing of the Com-
! mittee on Revison or the Dreyfus Case.
:Paris, Sept. 22.—The trial of Colonel
Picquart and M. Leblois, a lawyer, on
the charge of revealing documents
concerning the national defence, began
yesterday before the Correctional Tri-
Ibunal, but the public prosecutor asked
Ifor an adjournment on the ground
that the.,,,prosecution of Colonel Pic-
quart on the charge of forgery and
using forged documents had been or-
dered by the minister of war.
M. Labori, who was counsel for M.
Zola during the latter’s famous tiial,
indignantly opposed the adjournment,
which, he said, was an attempt to hand
over Colonel Picquart to the clutches
of the military authorities.
I Colonel Picquart then made a state—
ment which Caused a sensation. He
said: “This is, perhaps, the last time
I shall speak in public. I shall sleep,
perhaps, in the military prison of
Cherche Midi. Therefore I wish to de—
Iclare that if I find there the strang-
ling cord of Lemercier Picard, or the
razor of Colonel Henry, it will be mur-
der, for I have no idea of committing
_ suicide.’ W
l The peopl. . the room became in-
tensely axe“, and shouted, “Vivc
Picquart!”
The judges, after a short delibera—
tion, decided to adjourn the case indefi-
nitely, and Colonel Picquart was led
away between policemen.
Lemercier Picard, the man referred
to by Colonel Picquart, was a detective,
understood to have been employed in
Ithe Dreyfus affair, who was found
hanged in his lodgings about a year
1 ago, under circumstances which did
anot make it certain that he had com-
mitted suicide. ,
The papers here say the minister of
war, General Chanoine, o1dered the
prosecution of Colonel Picquart on the
charge of forgery and using forged
documents, after the minister had ex-
amined the documents in the Dreyfus
case.
The commission appointed by the
minister of justice, M. Sarrien, to ex~
amine the documents in the Dreyfus
case and. pronounce upon the advisa-
bility of the government’s formally
granting the prisoner a new trial, met
Iyestetrday afternoon at the ministry
Iof justic". The greatest precautions
ue1e ta}: en to insure secrecy.
It is understood the commission will
‘come to a decision by Monday next,
when M. Sarrien will communicate its
findings to a cabinet council, which
will be presided over by President
Faure.

NEW YORK FASHIONS
The defining line between gowns de-
signed for children and those intended
for grown up folks is hardly percepti-
ble now’adays. Women wear larger
models of frocks wornxby the small
girls, with full, round waists and
guimpe effects, while on the other
hand the wee maid as young as seven
has her skirt cut in the latest fashion,
with all the frills and furbelows em-
played an the gowns worn by her mam-
ma, while the separate skirt and waist
has been adopted with avidity by the
children who feel quite g1 own up when
decked out in this conventional cos-
tume.
The blouse bodice is the most popular
model for youthful gai ments and
proves the most practical as well as
becoming waist in that it allows per-
fect freedom of movement to the grow-
ing child. These waists are usually
IImade with an ’empiecement set.in to
form the yoke or are worn with
guimpes of every material. The small
girl has the bodice and skirt made in
one and a pretty model is of blue serge,
to be worn with a white guimpe, or for
cool days a red cashmere guimp with
a girdle of the. same materiat‘about the
waist makes an. attractive little frock.
The .older girls, however, say from
ten to. sixteen, prefer the separate skirt ,.
and little Eton jacket mode of costume,
which maybe worn with a variety of
blouses or shirtwaists. These, useful
suits are especially appropriate forthe
school girl, for while the journey to
and from the schoolhouse is often cold
and, chilly, the class room on the con-
trary, is apt to be close and overheated,
and that being the case the jacket may
be removed and the pretty little blouse
disclosed to view. I Plain materials,
such as serge, broadcloth, cashmere
and poplins are employed for these
frocks, and are relieved by trimmings
- of bright plaid or some contrasting
color.
The soft wc’ml ’and silk and wool
fabrics will be largely employed this
fall for church and party wear, while
lace, velvet and silk will furnish the
trimmings and dainty accessories to
these frocks. Tucking, shirring and
cording will also play an important
part in the decoration of the upwto-date
girl’s Sunday diess, which when com—
pletedis often quite as elaborate as
her debutante sister’s.
A stylish frock for a miss of thirteen
is of Cuban-red drap d’ete lined
throughout with dark red taffeta. The
skirt, cut with an attached fiounce of a.
rather odd design. is finished a little to
either side of the front. gore, and is
connected with two straps and buttons.
The corsage, a. low necked bolero, al~ I
most meets down the center and BI
adorned with tiny black buttons, as is
also the pointed strap which extends
from either side of the side seam. Black I
velvet is employed for the collar and I
belt, while the dainty little guimpe or
underblouse is made of soft red and
white India silk.
A pretty dress suitable for dressy oc-
casions is daintily carried out in flow-
ered challie on a cream ground, com-
bined with plain challie and finely
pleated silk’ mull. The full fiounce of I
the fiowered material has a. band of the
tucked mull at the top, finished with a
little ruche, and is attached to ‘a closely
fitted round yoke of the plain goods.
The full blouse bodice is adorned with
a. pleated collar edged with a. full ruf-
fle, arranged in fichu fashion, which'
merges in with the fastening of the
waist slightly to the left side where it
forms a narrow rufile. The yoke, stock
collar and sleeves are of flowered chal-
lie, while the ceinture is of crushed yel-
low satin, fastening in the front with a
dull gold buckle. The hat is the
latest design in headgear, being a
three-cornered affair turned back di-
rectly from the face and adorned with
black wings and ribbon.
The pelisse or box style of garment
appears to be the preferred model in
coats designedx for young children. A
natty model for a miss of seven or eig vht
is made of smooth faced green broad-
cloth, lined with satin and trimmed
with stitching and buttons. The skirt
portion of the coat has a simulated at-
tached fiounce extending around the]
sides and back, leaving the double-I
breasted gout perfectly plain to the top
wheie it is finished with turned back
pointed revers of white cloth, heavily
stitched. A small shaped cape accom-
panics this coat, and a scarf of white
mull about the neck gives a dainty
finish.

Linen Mesh Underwear.
It looks as if the next fad ’to which
we must all bow down will be the linen
mesh underwear. We have had wool
of various thicknesses, from the web of
a fineness to go literally through the
wedding-ring to the fiuffylsort that‘was
actually thick enough to measure; we
have had silk, heavy and light, and all
weights and qualities of cotton, and as
a. novelty there is naturally left only
the linen department to invade. The
advocates of the new underwear claim
for it coolness in summer and Warmth
in winter, and hygienic comfort at all
times.
. The most magnificent work of archi-
tecture is the Taj Mahal, in Agra, Hin-
dustan. It is octagonal in form, of
pure white marble, inlaid with every
sort'of precious stone. The work took
22,000 men twenty years to complete,
and though there were free gifts and
the labor was free, the cost was 316,-
