rious Whitechapel murderer, the body
of Mrs. Annie Moore, terribly mutilated
by knife wounds, was found today In

these papers for $275 was made out In
the name of Mrs. Annette Moore and

In the same drawer of the dresser
with the life Insurance policies were
found a number of pawn tickets show
ing that the pair hod been reduced to
straits before the crime was committed.

of James Moore, brother-in-law of
Mrs. Annette Moore, was arrested In
connection with the crime and techni
cally held as a witness after his father
had been put through the "third dc- |

- monwealths within easier reach of the
’* metropolis will have an even larger
numerical representation. The figures
given out by the committee take no
account of the hundreds of visitors who
are expected to come In an unofficial
capacity. The low rates offered by the
railroads are expected to result In one
of the largest crowds New York has
seen in some years.
Hotels Ar# Crowded.
Almost every hotel In the city re-
ports more applications for rooms for
this week than can be granted. Many
of the hotels are arranging with board
ing houses and furnished room owners
to send the expected overflow to these
places. It developed today that hotels
and many business houses will deco
rate their places for the occasion. This
fa*?t may be taken as without pcrsohal
i»i political significance.
I At the Hotel Victoria today the plan
and Mope committee appointed by the
Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust
league were busy attending to the
final arrangements for the reception of
Mr. Bryan. The steamship Princess
Irene, with the distinguished Nebras
ka n and hts party aboard. Is expected
to reach port tomorrow. Mr. Bryan
will be entertained on the private yacht
of Edward Field Goltra, of St. Louis,
a college class mate of Mr. Bryan, till
the next morning.
They Talk to Hearst.
The Nebraska delegation paid an

pected today, have been delayed, but
will get In tonight or In the morning.
Missouri's representatives, headed by
Governor Folk, have arrived at the

are stopping. The West Virginia and
Louisiana delegations will probably go

North Carolina delegation are also ex

fit. Petersburg, Aug. 28.—General
Trepoff Is anxiously sought by the ter
rorists and may be the next victim of
bullet or bomb. It Is now known that
men caught In the grounds of the czar's
palace at Peterhoff were really in
search of TrepofT.
To Trepoff’s credit It can be said
that he appears less concerned thun
almost any high official. Officer* who
wear beards In the Trepoff style are
patronizing the barbers and few high
officers go abroad now without heavy
guards.
Two Marked for Death.
General Bennenknmpf, who com
manded a cavalry corps In the war
with Japan, and Governor Karloff, of
Minsk, have been marked for assas
sination. Hotel keepers In St. Peters
burg have been warned against enter
taining these officers under penalty of
having their establishments the scene
of bomb throwing.
It is feared there will be a Hebrew

tion of General Von Liarllarskl Is at
tributed to the Hebrews, and as he was
popular with his soldiers, they are
threatening to have revenge by killing
the Hebrews. The assassin has not
been captured and little hope Is felt
that he will be. Many Hebrews are
leaving the city In anticipation of trou

Many Persons Killed.
Every effort Is being made to organ

Havana, Cuba, August 28.—The gov
emment is jubilant over the news of
the crashing defeat of the Santa Clara

and wounding about fifty. His loss was
only one killed and several wounded.
Guzman, It Is said, escaped but his

forced there that the rebels have been
forced to the hills and driven to the de

Hearing on the Injunction proceed

Judge Pendleton Friday morning.
Judge John M. Gout, of St. Louis,

The whole proposition Is whether or

The particularity of the present suit
Is to determine the case In Georgia.
Similar proceedings have been brought
In Illinois and Missouri. By the de
