OFFENSE CHARGED AN AWFUL ONE With Mrs. Augusta Nack For an Acoom plice, H Is Said to Have Lured Lis Victim to a Lonely House, Shot Him, Dismembored the Corpse and Dlisposed of the Remains In Various Ways. NEW YORK, Nov. .-To unravel the tangled skein of one of the most myste rious as well as heinous crimes of the century is the task set for a jury, the selection of which has been begun in MAm Thor. the Queens county court of over and ter:niner at Long Island City. The cause, oftcially known as the people versus Martin Thorn, is based upon the discove:y in June last in East river and in Ogien's woods, north of this city, of portions of a human body. The head was missing. By a series of curious links in the chain of circumstantial evidence, the dismembered remains have been identi fled by a number of witnesses as por tions of the body of William Guiden suppe, a rubber in a Turkish bathhc ase in this city. - Guldensuppe had nos been at his work for several days before the ghastly discoveries of his supposed re mains, nor has he since that time, but it was alleged he was in Germany, though no one appeared to know. The postulate of the identity of the corpse being conceded, the next thing to be done was todook up Guidensuppe's connections. and from them ascertain a possible motive for his murder. It was easily ascertainea that he had lived on terms of intimacy with Airs. Augusta Nack, a midwife, but that some time before the disappearance of Gulden si'ppe, the pair had quarreled, and that in the woman's flat Guldensuppe had fought with and beaten the man who had supplanted him in his mistress' affections. Martin Thorn. a barber, smarting under the beating he had re ceived, was overheard to threaten to get even with Guldensuppe. Motives For the Murder., Here, then, were motives that might have caused murder-a woman desirous of being rid of a discarded lover whose proximity might at any moment be come troublesome and the successful rival who had once experienced the su perior physical prowess of his predeces sor in the woman's affections and might again be made to suffer the pain and humiliation of a beating. The arrest of Mrs. Nack was followed a few days later by that or Thorn. whom the police had some difficulty in finding, but whose whereabouts were ".disclosed by John Gotha, another bar ber, and a relative by marriage of the accused man. Gotha has made the statement upon which the police rely to aid in Thorn's conviction, that Thorn admitted his guilt to him, and since Thorn has been confined two men, who shared his cell at different times, have told of incrimiiiating admissions by the accused man. There have also been at intervals re ports that Mrs. Nack had virtually ad mitted her guilt, but all of these state ments have been more or less conclusive. Dead Body D~ismemibered. Briefly, it is alleged that M.rs. Naick lured Guidensuppe to a cottage in' Woodside, Long Island, where she said she was abou-t to establish a "baby farm"; that in a room in that cottage Thorn waylaid and shot Guldensuppe, afterwards severin;; his head, dismem bering his cornse, and disposing of the remains in various ways. In tho trial of this case. Judge Wil * mot M. Smith will preside. District Attorney Youn"s will conduct the pros WILLILM GULDENSUPPE. ecution, asisited by ex- Surrogate Au gust N. Weller and. Assistant Attorney George W. Davidson. William F. Howe and George Moss will defend Martin Thorn, whose trial will precede that of Mrs. Nack, and Emanuel Friend and W. H. Hirsh will act as counsel for the woman. At the opening of 'court a list of 200 names of special jurymen were sum moned to appear and then Sheriff Doht was directed to produce the prisoner. Thorn. handcuffed to a deputy sheriff, walked briskly to the table at which his legal advisers were sitting. He wvas ::leanly shaven and showed no signs of' nervousness or apprehension. Both sides were prepared for the trial and as Thorn stood up and the clerk ex plained to him his right to challenge~ any of the jurors su:nmveed, he bent forward. listening to every word. When the clerk had finished the listener in :lined his head slightly and sat down. During the ezamination of talesmen a faint smile pi-.yed around Thorn's month and he appeared to be onie of the1 most unconcerned persons in the court. Finetree ~date Yostmsters. WASHIN~GTON, Nov.

S.-The Journal and Advertiser prints the following let:er from Mayor Hugh Grant concerning 61r. Bryan and the recent New York elections: -The conclusion of Mr Bryan, that the results of the recent New York elec tion indicate popular dissatisfaction with the policy of the Republean party, is undoubtedly correct. His declaration that they 'presage the overthrow of the Republican party,' is not eutitled to the same credence as his other eonclusions. "I heartily hone that the Republican party will be overthrown in liO. but it is early for any one but an enthusiast like Mr. Bryan to take up his mind with what will happen three years hence. "Most of the George men were en. thusiasts, who believed that if a theory to which they subscribed conid be put into operation upon the affairs of n:e. the condition of lire would be made bo-t ter. Others of them were be.iev n m the li to 1 theory, who were led astray by their enthusiasm. All of them-sin gle tax enthusiasts and 1t to 1 entiu siasts-ought to have been Democrats The latter would nave been with u. if Mr. Bryan had not deterred thom. He was sufficiently acqu tinted wi the lo cal situation in New York city in 189 to talk about it with conipl- te assur. ance. He ought to have been able to make himself acquainted with it in 1-97. "He did nothing for the local Democ racy this year. The secretary of the Democratic national committee, who is presumably very close to him in sym pathy, repudiated the candidacy of Judge Van Wyck on the ground that Judge Van Wyck did not stand upon the silver plank of the Chicago plat form, and gave to Mr. George whatever support he had to give, although Mr. George distinctly repudiated the silver theory. "The trouble with Mr. Bryan and the secretary of the national Democratic committee is that they cannot adapt themselves to changing conditions. They insist upon following certain theo ries and disregarding peculiar condi tions of life, which must affect the in fluence of those theories in the various parts of the country. "We are Democrats, and we insist upon taking things as they are. We would be happy if three years hence Mr. Bryan's prediction is verified; but I do not take much interest in predic tions that have so long to run. Many things are likely to happen between - 1 AUGU STA NACK. now and 1900. If tley happen as Mr. Bryan thinks they will happen, they will justify his assumption of the role of a prophet. If they do not, Mr. Bryan will be grieved. In any event, the Democratic party will remain." WILL SAVE THE WHALERS. evenue Cutter itear I,. Ordered to Ice bound Tes'ela' Rescue. WASHNGTON, Nov. 8.-There was a onference at the White House attended by Secretaries Gage.

Fully Prepared for the Fall Trade in Every Respect. - In our long experience in mercliandising we have never procured goods in every line more satisfactory with a view to low and suitable prices than during our recent visit North. We allowed no opportunity looking to this most important end to pass us. These bargains we pledge ourselves to give our customers the full benefit of. feeling sure that we could not give more practical shape to our sense of sympathy and gratitude to our country friends. We know by experience the special wants of our farmers. whose friendship we think we have a peculiar right in claiming, inasmuch as our firm it was which was the pioneer in this section to operate first with the various farmer Alliances. and that our dealings with these gentlemen were most satisfactory in every particular and vere appreciated is clearly evinced by the present enormous increased volume of our business. We take much pride in this and are determined by continued conscientious dealing, and the lowest possible prices to retain our hard-earned .pop ularity. Our store is frequently literally packed with cus tomers during the busy season, and this fact can be verified by a visit, and certainly most emphatically sustains the cot rectness of our statement. We have not. of course, the space to lay before the pub lic all our offering stock, but can only refer to a limited por tion. Probably much that is omitted will be found even more inviting.

OUR Clothing Department. This is a kind of hobby with us. We cannot resist the temptation of buying, no matter what the quantit; may be if the styles and prices are right, and it was our good fortune to secure a line of about fifteen styles of All Wool Cheviots anl Cassimeres That were made by a merchant tailoring establishment to sell from $12.50 to $15, but we bought them to sell You have to see these goods to appreciate them. We also got in connection with this line of goods a lot of light-weight Kersey and Beaver Overcoats That were manufactured to sell from $12.50 to $20. Our price $1O to 812.5O.
