HER THROAT CUT * i \ Yttuiig Lady is Assaulted aod Murdered in Cincinnati. : < 1 THE FOURTH OUTRAGE . i i , . Of the Kind That llu.s H?'cn Coin* mil tod Near "ic Same riuc? hi Nearly the Same l>ay, Apparently by the Same Fiend in the hist Tlim* Years. , At Cincinnati, with her throat cut and her mouth gagged, the body of Miss Anna Lloyd, 36 or 571 Delta ] avenue, secretary of the Wiborg- i Hartna Lumber company, was found i at retched on the till of the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton railroad l tracks, at thfc Intersection of Hopple 1 sfre'et. The gruesome find brings i to light the fourth mysterious and 1 diabolical m'tirder that has followed i the horrible death meted out to Mary ( McDonald three years ago. 1 The crime is iu the same "wo- 1 ma ft murder /one" of the other 1 crimes. Tile murder left traces that tell 'plainer than words that if he i is not the one whose hands arc i bloody with the murders of three < other girls, lie s at least an ' exact counterpart. ' Miss Lloyd had been employed ( at the W'iborg-Hanna company for ' I? years. Recently she had been t promoted to the important position of secretary of the company. Fri- < day night was the lirst time she had ' ever left the place at night unac- ? c.ompanied. Slie was carrying with ' her at the time a big Christmas sal- ' ary divided, which had been given } her bv the firm, and was enroute ' to take her car at Spring Drove and ( Hopple streets. f The attack must have come without warning. Her assailant sprang ' CHom the shadows not more ' than 200 feet from the Wiborg- * J1 anna company entrance. She was f caught and hurled down the 30-foot > einoaiiKmenr. The struggle must ' have been a fearful one. So far, 1 however, no witness has been found * who heard screams. There is \ s path of snow torn about and piled 1 up by many raking, sweeping tracks, ' showing the path of the woman fight- ^ ing for Iter life, and the diabolical I assailant. 1 There is no clew to the murder. * 1 >eep tracks in the snow would not 1 give a clew. They are spread out, sliding steps that lead in long jumps, as if the assailant fled hurriedly He endc.i'ored to hide his tracks t by doubling. He went up to the railroad, returned, and then pounded out a way to the railroad again, apparently. What direction he took froth this point cannot be determin- . ed. Miss Lloyd was engaged to he married. Her engagement ring, , with two other rings were on her j fingers when her body was found. . Her pocketbook was not rifled. The . motive was not robbery. The murder of Mary McDonald, whose mutilated body was found on j the tracks of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, near the Clifton Springs distillery, near the , first of a triology of women murder- . ers in Cincinnati that startled the q city, and which there has never been ^ M Sjrvt 111 ir>r? nr I.vnn o .M V 1 VII II UVIIII11U *.'111^ J pointing to the identity of the mur- , cleror. The manner of each murder, however, pointed to one man as thf* murderer. Tin* murders were committed in rapid succession. On a path called Lover's Lane 4 there was found a few months later the body of Lulu Muller. She had been assaulted and slain. Her body was terribly mutilated by the mur- o derer. Her throat was torn. Her t( face was scratched beyond recogni- k tion. Her skull was crushed. For H days the police ran down clue after if e.lue. Two men were arrested, but d each proved his innocence and was b released. s< The third murder?in an open lot, tl at Winton avenue and Spring Grove T avenue there was found the body of o Alma Steinway, telephone operator C in the Park Exchange. She had left P the exchange for home at 10 o'clock V iho night before. Her relatives were r< about to report her disappearance to tl the police the next morning, when h word was brought to them that she 1 had been found murdered in the I> Jot on Winton road, opposite the Spring Grove cemetery. 10ye is I'ut Out. k At Gaffney, S.

With the news of the probable loss of the big five masted schooner j Davis Palmer with her crew of 12 men, off Boston harbor, and the wrecking of nine other vessels along the Massachusetts coast, the opening chapter of the toll taken on the sea by the great storm which swept New Kim land Saturday night and Sunday was bared to the world on Tuesday. Cape Cod is still cut off and with the restoration of communication it is feared that a tale of marine disasters and storm damage unequaled in years will be related. Wreckage borne into Boston harbor is believed to be the mute evidence of the loss of tile schooner Davis Palmer, Newport News, for Boston, somewhere near the entrance to the harbor. A signal box among the wreckage contained a burgee with the Palmer's name as also did i quarter-board found near. The wreck itself has not been located. The three-masted schooner Natasket was hurled ashore at Situate and probably will prove a total wreck, Void 11 tee life savers with the breeches bouy rescued her crew of ton men. With a cargo of lumber she was bound for Boston from North Cur/-. I Una. The schooner Belle Ilnlliday is I ashore at Rarnt Point, Natuckot. The fate of her crew is unknown, but it I is believed that they have been resI cued. She was from Philadelphia loaded with railroad iron. On the roek shores of Martha's I Vineyard, two water-logged schoon I ers are being swept by every sea. I They are the A. K. McLean, a British I vessel, hound from Perth Ainboy to Halifax, and the Stonington (Me.) schooner Maude Steward, Port Red I ing from Provlncetown. The crews I of both vessels have been taken off. J At Provlncetown the sloop Ronita is aground and in the flats of Plymonth harbor are four small schoonI ers similarly distressed. The work of filling the gaps In telegraph and telephone wire systems and in railroad and trolley lines which had been opened by the I blizzard is proceeding. The telegraph I companies report a capacity of about I 2.r> per cent, of the normal while the I telephone and trolley line schedules were largely filled, although delays I of from onehalf to three hours wer? I noted on railroads trains. Southeastern Massachusetts, Cape I Cod's sandy peninsula particularly, I and Rhode Island suffered most from the storm and are still in the most 'emoralized condition as far as wire I and transportation service goes. Many places in southeastern Massachusetts have not witnessed the arrival of a train for two days. New Bedford and Fall River have been cut off from telegraphic communication with the outside world since Sunday morning. KIISKINK 9UFFKK8. Wylie House, Girls' Dormitory, Burned to the Ground.

The death roll Ih mounting high In the northern latitudes. Ship jmujs hum suuerea lerriuiy, ana among tho ships to suffer Is tho Iriquois of the Charleston-New York lln. Here the blizzard hardly amounted to anything more than making people uncomfortable and freezing water pipes, but iu New York and New England, many people froze to death, communication with different parts of the country was cut off or seriously interrupted. The United States weather bureau announced Tuesday that the snow storm had been the heaviest for December in nearly twenty years. Heginning at I 1 o'clock Saturday morning snow fell continuously for twenty four hours to a depth of more than ten inches. The maximum wind velocity for five minutes in this time was llfty-eight miles an hour. The storm covered all the country east of tiie Mississippi Valley and increased in intensity as it moved from the interior toward the Atlantic coast. The wind blew harder and the snow fell faster in Now York than anywhere else. First Assistant Forecaster K. S. Nichols at tiie New York station. No. 100 Hroadway said: "Away back on Dec. and 27, 1800, we had a fall of fourteen indies during twenty-four hours. That is the only snow fall during December that compares witli tho present one. "The greatest snow fall on record for New York for twenty-four hours occurred on Feb. 17 and 18, 1893, seventeen and eight-tenths inches fell. On Jan. 24, 1 908, nine and a half inches fell. That's tho only storm during recent years that compares with this." MADE RESTITUTION. A Man Is Converted and Returns Money He Hud Stolen. The Hamilton. fJn .Trmmui oo.-o about twenty years ago Messrs. C. 11. and John A. Cook were doing business in Hamilton under the name of Cook Brother. One day a sack containing silver coin to the amount of at least $18f>.00 was mysteriously stolen from their store, every effort to recover the same proving a failure and the money long ago given up as forever loHt. Last week a letter from Montgomery written on a letterhead of the Montgomery Bank and Trust company, and containing a draft drawn by this company on New York exchange for $199.00, was received by Mr. C. H. Cook for the former firm. The letter is unsigned and reads as follows: "Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 1 4, 1909. Cook Brothers, Hamilton, (la., Dear Sirs?This money comes to you from a man who was converted under my ministry, you will never know who. Nor do you know me.

A discovery of far-reaching Importance to the farmers of the South Is the new fertilizer which has been perfected on one of the Islands near Charleston, S. C. It has long been known that lime Is an essential food for plants of all kinds and that they cannot live when it has been exhausted from the soil. It has also been i known that old worn-out lands are extremely deficient in lime, and that sour, badly-drained lands have their lime is a for mthat is not usable by growing crops. Farmers' Bulletin No. 124, U. S Dept. of Agriculture, says: "All the applications of lime increased the . yields The best yields were obtained with the lime in the form of carbonate, the finely ground oyster shells standing first * Lime with fertilizer was more profitable . than depending upon fertilizer,! alone." This new fertilizer which presents lime in itn mnsf noolilo fn> * ?? ~- -J V1UUM1U IWI ill 19 Ui ttU^1 by a new process of burning oyster shells and using a burner that can 1 supply potash. The result Is a high grade fertilizer costing the consumer only $7.00 per ton. It reclaims worn-out lands in a marvelous man- < ner if applied broadcast two months i ahead of ammoniated goods. It's 1 sweetening effects on sour lands is almost magical. Charleston freight rates apply on this new fertilizer. The factory is located on Young's Island, S.
