B Ktwriuno, Sept. 17. The police and the
H fountT authorities havo been doing svery thing
H la their power to unravel the mystery surround-
H f th murder of Bridget Hayes In the house ot
B ker emploTer. L. Krerett Carpenter, at Balm-
U T(, suburb of Newburg, on Wednesday
HJ n jht. The; ore exactly where they were when
H they started. Ther know now that the woman
H wn murdered, though there were times yester-
HH j,, when they were half Inclined to think that
BJ ,he had committed suicide. Ther know how the
(u murdered, and that's all that ther do know.
H j-ot one particle ot evidence did the murderer
H jelTe behind that would lead to his detection.
HB rfi,, rel motive for the crime la a mystery. It
H i, almost certain that the assault was an after
thought. It Is almost certain, too, that the
murderer was not only acquainted with the
H woman, but was acquainted with the house
fl -there the murder was done as well.
J BalmTtUe Is the home of wealthy persons el-
Jl most exclusively. It overlooks the Hudson
bH Klter and is one of the most beautiful towns on
Jj th west side ot the rlTer. While it is not with-
fl in the cltr limits of Newburg, It Is generally
M counted a part ot the cltr, because the people
Jj to lira there are all Newburg people. The
town gets its name from a huge Balm of Oilead
HH trf. with a trunk more than sis feet thick,
that stands In a squaront the crossroads. Be-
H cause it ts not in the cltr limits It has no police
I protection. Hut few crimes hare been commit-
HI there and there has never been anr demand
HH ori police force in consequence.
Tho home of I. Krerett Carpenter, where
Bridget Hayes was murdered and assaulted, is
J the second house across the hill from Newburg.
H Dr. V celey Walt's housu Is the first. The
Carpenter house is a threc-etorr brick and is
one ot the handsomest houses in the
neighborhood outeido the magnificent man-
sons that nro built along the bluff just over
BJ the river. It is about 300 yards from tho trailer
line which connects tho village and Newburg.
Bh It Isle's than f. rty feet from Dr. Wait's house.
flB Next to it. on the othor aide, about the same
BJ distance away. Is the residence ot George
BB Jieyers, the head ot the Washington Baking
anaH pnwrfer ComnanT. Back ot It. hardly seventy-
BJ lire feet away, is still another house. It Is oo-
BB copied by a florist.
BJ The whole village la built on a slope, so that
this house In the rear of the Carpenter house Is
BH conslders-My higher, and from the windows on
BB tie first floor one can see Into the windows ot
fll tie toD floor ot the Carpenter house. Along the
BB road on which the Carpenter house fronts
BB there are electric lights, which are kept
Bh lighted all night, and at no time is it dark or
BH lonesome in tho neighborhood. The fact that a,
B murder such as this one could hare been com-
BB mitted in a house so surrounded by other houses
BB that were occupied has frightened the peoole,
HH particularly the women folks, half to death.
Bridget Hayes, as The Sun stated yesterday,
HHj vent to the Carpenter house, where she was
HH employed, at ti o'clock in the morning on Wed-
HH nesday. The neighbors say that they saw her
HH there soon after that hour: that during the
HH morning and the early part of the afternoon she
HJ s out in the yard no lets than halt a dozen
HH times hanging ud clothes which she had been
HH ashing. To reach the yard she went
HH out ot the back door, which, when she
HH was found murdered, was closed and
HH locked and barred with a heavy wooden bar
HH that stretched clear across the door from case to
HH case. Later in the afternoon these neighbors
HH say they saw the woman washing windows on
HH the first and second floors of the house. Ther
HH remember this distinctly, because the house had
HH een vacant for two months, the Carpenter
HH fsiully being away for the summer, and tney
H remarked to themselves that Mrs. Carpenter
HH oust be coming home or the girl wouldn't be
Hi cleaning the windows.
HH The last time anybody saw the woman allvo
HH1 was somewhere in the nelghborboodof4o'elock.
HH e WRS then still cleaning the windows. About
HJ ts hour later some members of the Carpenter
H family, who bad returned to town, but who are
temporarily stopping; with friends until the rest
HH t lhe family get back, passed the house to go to
H th trolley .line. Tho cars run, Infrequently,
HH a-v. as there was none In sight, ther walked
H but. went Into the yard and sat on the front
HH steep of the house. Ther did not try the doors.
HH They did not suppose anybody was in the house.
HH Nobody was in sight while they were there, and
HH they were there about fifteen minutes. Cer-
HH talnly If Bridget Uayes had seen them she
HH would have spoken to them, and the last seen of
HH k"' u,t "ttle while before that, she was
H waihing the windows in the front.
HH There was no sign of life about the house after
H these members of the Carpenter family went
H sway until 10 o'clock at night, as far as The
H Be reporter could learn yesterday. At 10
HH s'clock tho domestic employed in Mr. Meyer's
H family, accompanied oy another girl em-
HH ployed In the neighborhood, passed the house
H m lhelr mJ home from Kewburg, where
H ther had spent the evening. These girls
H both say that they saw a light in the room on
H the top floor, where, later, it was found that
HH Bridget Hayes had been murdered. Tbey are
H certain about tho light, because ther remarked
that they guessed Mrs. Carpenter must have got
HI hack, for Bridget Hayes never would star in
H ths house alone at night, and that room was
Bridget Hayes's room. Nooody else baa been
found who saw the light, and nobody has been
M found who passed the house after the hour
pete girls went by. The folks in Dr. Walt's
boa'4 and In Mr. Meyer's house and Mr.
Carter's house were all of them awake until
between half past 10 and 11 o'clock, and they
Jl heard no unusual noises and nothing to
HJ vtract their attention to the Carpenter
saV house. Yet it is almost certain that soma
HI Sme daring the evening, beforo 11 o'clock,
Hsl prllget Hayes was attacked, and after some
HH. Uttle struggle waa assaulted and killed, and,
HJH ss stated before, it la almost certain the assault
was not the only motive for the crime.
HH. condition of things in the house when the
HH woman s body was found on Thursday indicated
fll i"1 the greatest deliberation.
HI Bridget Hayes didn't go to the house of her
Hsl riend.wberehe had been living, for lunch on
MB Wednesday, bhe hod bad nothing to eat since
MB corning. She had been working all day, and
HH ue family was expected home the next day.
MB There was a great deal of work to be done, and
U is more than likely that she found it neces-
H 51 t0 8ta at the house until after
,:t ! complete it. When she was
H work she wore working clothes, having

and set to work to try and dean up the traces ot
the murder from the floor and from the dresser
In the room. Perhaps it was then that he
picked up the hand glass from tho dresser and
looked at himself, to sco If he was palo or showed
evidences ot the fright that he felt after the
deed. There were blood stains on the back and
front of the glass and on both sides of IL He
set to work to clean tho carpet. Ho found he
could not do It, and he gave up trying.
Of course with this evidence of tho crime In
the room, disposing of the body would bo use
less. He wanted no one to know that a murder
had been committed, and here the marks wero
indelible. There was ono course left for him,
that was to make It appear that the woman
had committed suicide.
There is evidence ot the fact that he did trr
to make It so appear, for tho bo ty was lying In
the bathroom in such a position that, without
other evidence, any one who looked at it would
say that she had gone In there herself alone,
hod fallen on tho ilbnj, and no ono had
been In tho room afterward until the
men who found her went In. The door opened
inward. Shewns lying so that sho blocked tho
door. Iter head was against it. It could not bo
opened without pushing her aside. If the wo
man was dead when Uken to tho bathroom tho
body could only have got into that position by
carefully placing It against the door, so that
when the door closed It would slip down and
block It.
As a further evidence ot suicide, the murderer
placed n box ot rat poison on the bed in the
room. Ho meant to make It appear that sho
had taken poison, that it had not killed her
quick enuugu, that she had then cut her throat
and walked downstairs to tho b.ithroom, where
she had fallen. Unfortunately for him, how
over, the erldence ot his crimo could not be
offaced. That evidenco tho doctors discovered
when they made the autopsy.
If the murderer knew the woman, what could
haro been his motive in killing hert Sho was
08 rears old. Assault was not the motive. Sho
had no enemies as far ns is known, so that re
venge could not be a motive. She cared nothing
for men, and had no mnlo friends to speak ot.
Sho had no one paying attention to her; so
jeslously could not have been tho motive.
'1 here remains but one other; that is robbery.
She hud worked all her life; she hud spent little
money, nnd she must have hail money. The
murderer must have been a man who knew that
sho had uioney. for no man would murder n
woman In her position in life to rub her unless
he knew that she had money to mitko it an ob
ject for htm to kill her.
Sho vtn a woinun who kept her business to
herself, so the circle of persons who knew that
she had money must certainly bo very limited.
It Is known that she had two bank accounts.
One vtus in Brooklyn and ono in Newburg. The
Newburg account is a small one. She drew her
money from the Brooklyn bank. It Is said, soma
tlino agu.
Tho man who murdered her must have known
that sho drew It, and tho circle of men who
would have thnt Information must certainly bo
extr mely limited.
One erldence that the robbery was the motive
Is the fact that her bank boot on the Newburg
bunk Is missing. Where she kept the book
nobody knows, but she must hare kept it cither
at the Carpenter house or at Mrs. Mapicton's.
It was not at Mrs. Stapleton's, nnd the Carpen
ter house was searched yesterday from iod to
bottom without bringing It to light. It wus
kuuuKUb tuni t.c, turn -oh.u uitu urcu siutcu
but this was found yesterday In a little box In
the bottom ot her trunk In the room in which
she was murdered.
The trunk contained other things, keepsakes
and the like, and it is lust the place where she
would have kept her bank book, but the book
wasn't there. It is possible that this book may
lead to the dlscorerr of her murderer.
The persons who would be most likely to hear
that Bridget Hayes bad money, and most likely
to hear that she bad drawn money from the
bank, would bo persons Hrinir in tho neigh
borhood of Mrs. Stwpleton. Mrs. Stapleton
lives in North Water street. North Water
street contains a good many pretty tough people.
A nephew ot Mist Hayes once lived in that
neighborhood. This nephew was arrested once
accused of murderldg a man, but he wasn't in
dicted, lie lives in Newburg still, or. at least,
was there early in the summer. The reporter
didn't get any trace of him yesfrdny.
As bus been pointed out. the murderer must
have known something about the Carpenter
house, as well as about Bridget Hayes's money.
He found tho knife with which he killed
her in a drawer in n sideboard. Ha armed
himself with that knife beforo he went
upstairs to her room. If he had been an ordi
nary thief he wonld have taken a large quan
tity of solid silverware that was In nnd on the
sideboard where this knife was kept. Not a
piece Is missing nor was a piece tound dis
turbed. It the man was an acquaintance of Mrs. Hares
thatmigbt explain how be got into the bouse, for
every door and window was locked and barre.L
He must have gotten into the house through the
front door. Lnless he went In the houso in
the daytime and concealed himself there he
must have been admitted by the woman. Tho
door has a spring Io k. It closes itself and tho
lock snaps, unlcssacatch that holds it Is sprung.
If be was an acquaintance, perhaps he stopped.
5avo her some excuse for stopping, said ns It was
ark he would take ber home or something
of that kind, and she asked him to wait until
she had changed her dress. He secured the
knife, followed her upstairs, nntt there killed
her. The police to-day will begin to make a
thorough investigation to ascertain who knew
Bridget Hayes well enough to know that she
had some money. Bridget Hayes's body will be
burled to-morrow.
ZUXTGKIiT PROSECUTIOX JSyBlXO.
Resume er the Testimony Hade by the state's
tvilneeeee.
CniCAOO. Sept. 17. There was a sort of
cleaning up by the State in the Luctgert w if o
murder trial to-day. All the witnesses for
the prosecution, so for as Is known, have been
heard and tho expert testimony Is all in. It
onlr remained, according to tho belief of tho
State Attorney and his assistants to connect
the material erldence Introduced with the
crime of which Adolpn I.uetgcrt Is accused.
With this end In view the experts were re
called: to testify bow and from whom they re
ceived the bones, linger rings, and other arti
cles subjected by them to microscopical or
other expert examination; police ohicers told of
the places in which these bits of evidenco wero
found, how they wero found, and whot wai
done with them after they were found. In
this manner, tho State's lawyers say. tho neces
srry corpus delicti has been established, and
they think a conviction of murder in tho Urst
degree should follow. All of the witnesses beard
to-day had testified before.
The defence will probablr begin on Monday.
One of the theories on which Luetgert s coun
sel will work Is that a police conspiracy exists,
the purpo&e of which is to convict the prisoner.
It is said that If Luctgcrt's lawyers fall to
weaken the testimony thai the bones found are
human, tbey will make a charge that emis
saries of the police disintegrated tho skeleton
of a small woman In caustic potanh and then
filaced rings and fragments of bone and flesh
n the vat nnd bones in the ashes under the
boiler, to throw suspicion upon tho prisoner.
Many witnesses, it is said, will testl'y that
the rings in evidence aro not Mrs. I.uetgcrt's,
and it will also bo shown that the missing wo
man waa of a strongly Jealous disposition,
dissatisfied with her lot, and that she had fre
quently threatened to leave home, and on one
occasion remained away several days.

to the foot of East liiiid street yesterday for a
bath. She sent it Into the water with a long bit
of twine fastened to its collar to proveut It

Nkw OraEAjjB, Sept. 17,-Tho quarantine sit
uation, which has been causing so much trouble
In the Southwest over the yellow fever, shows
an Improvement to-dar, duo partlallr to the
fact that the mnny quarantines now In force)
have aroused popular Indignation and protest.
The greatest troublo has been the small boards
of health which haro sprung up orer tho South
west In the past few days, which are without
legal authority, but are operating on the
Judge Lynch basts that might gives right. Be
tween 1,000 and 1,'JOO such boards have recent
ly sprung up, most of them Incompetent to pass
on quarantine or sanitary matters, and wholly
without legal nutborlty, being elected by mass
meetings. In somo cases they are whollr self
constituted guardians of the publlo health.
These boards seem to vie with each other In
the radical and absurd character of their quar
antines, and the smaller the board the moro
power It has usurped. A score of towns has
quarantined against tho msils, and no New
Orleans or Mobile newspapers are allowed to
enter Mississippi or Alabama.
This shutting out of the mnll and particularly
the newspapers has had a most unfortunate ef
fect In increasing tho panic. The people aro
left without the nows of the world, and aro a
prey to rumors and exaggerations.
The height of tho folly was reached In Mis
sissippi, where provisions from Now Orleans for
Ocean Springs and other Infected towns wore
shut out by quarantine, tho people being well
nigh reduced to starvation. In many places dis
infectants Intended for sanitary purposes wero
declared contraband.
lu Louisiana as well as in Mississippi Iron
ware was shut out. The farmers have been put
to considerable Inconvenience by having agri
cultural Implements and machinery kept back.
In Now Orleans the Fifteenth ward at a mnss
meeting yesterday uctuallr attemptod to quar
antine against the other sixteen wards of tho
city ; but this was going a little further than the
people were prepared to stand, and this quaran
tine was promptly nullified, Tho quarantines
have not been confined to Infected or suspected
places, and local spite and prejudice has plajed
a large part in many of them.

their neighbors on various pretexts. The result
of tho quarantine panic has been to compel a
dozen railroads to suspend operations, thus
stopping the malls, shutting out tho newspapers
from n gront part of tho Southwest, anil para
lyzing business. Schools and colleges have been
closed in many places, and In some places the
churches have been prohibited from opening.
Moss meetings have beeu prevented and a
curfow law entorced. and flnallr liberty of free
speech has been Invaded In Mobile and other
towns. In these places it is a misdemeanor,
subject to fine and imprisonment, to mention
any rumor of a suspicious case, except those re
ported by tho Board of Health. Tbero is a
marke I Improvement to-day. A number of ex
cellent modifications were made.
Tho quarantine against drugs and disinfect
ants was everywhere removed, and most of tho
tonus withdrew their quarantine against Iron
ware and agricultural implements. Alabama,
on the protest of the New Orleans Sanltnry and
Commercial Association, withdrew Its quaran
tine against Pullman cars passing through the
State. Mississippi withdrew Its quarantine
against food stuns and provisions for towns In
need of them.
Most of the towns abolished their quarantine
against the mall, and now admit letters, and
even new-papers, that nave been disinfected.
Many of the Louisiana towns admitted all kinds
of goods that are properly disinfected and certi
fied to as safo by the United States Marina
Hospital service.
On the other hand. Shrereport has stopped
nearly all trains running through that town.
Meridian. Miss., yesterday Slopped the Ala
bama and Vlcksburg llatlroad from Vlcksburg
nnd prohibited nny ot the trains entering the
town. This shuts off all central Mississippi
from the north.
The Mississippi State Board of Health Is try
ing to brlmr Meridian to Its senses. At Little
Itock and Hot Springs. Ark., all people register
ing from New Orleans bare been compelled to
leave town In spite of their protests.
Gov. MeUiurln of Mississippi, who has been
out of Jackson, had to apply to the quarantine
authorities for permission to enter the capital
nnd resume his duties. Scranton, Miss., has ap
pealed for nid.
The Louisiana Board of Health reports nlno
new cases of yellow fever to-lay in New Orleans
nnuoneucstii. .iiODiie reports two new cases or
fever, three suspects, and one death. Ocean
Springs reports three new cases. Edwards re
ports fifteen coses of ferer.
The nine cases reported In New Orleans to-dnv
wero very widely scattered, and there are now
sixteen localities In which the disease is prevailing.

The letter told of tho presence of many tons of

awaiting transportation up the Yukon, and
Capt. Hay recommended that a foreo of regu

of the recommindatlon at tho Cabinet meeting
n question was raUed as to the right of the
Executive to .send troops to protect prU ate

HAVANA, Sept. 13. The beginning of the end
of tho Cuban war Is undoubtedly the decision
forced upon Don. Wcyler by the extrnordlnnrr
nctlvltr of tho insurgent army In tho six prov
inces of tho Island to abandon tho Inland of
Puerto Pilnclpo and Santiago do Cuba to tho
revolutionists and conccntrnto tho Spanish
forcosnttho seaports, where ther can bo sup
ported by the Spanish navy.
Tho Important military station of Purnlo, in
Snutingo do Cuba province, has been abandoned
by the Spanish troops. Tho Spanish residents of
Jlgunnl, llajamo, and Holquln.ln tho samo prov
ince, nre greatly alarmed by tho prospect of
being left to tho mercy of tho Insurgents. In
splto of tho orders ho has received from Mad
rid, not to abandon Ilnynmo, tho Captaln-llcn-cral
has replied to tho Spanish merchants ot
that town that the most ho can promise them
Is to do his boat without guaranteeing any
thing. Tho convoy that provides Ilnynmo wllh food
from Manzanllln twlco a mouth passes between
tho towns of Pernlcjos and llarrancos, which
nro held by tho Cuban forces of Octi. Knbl,
who has strongly fortltlod tho route. Tho
10,000 soldiers that Col. Vara dol Hey deemed
ncccis.ary a fow weeks ngo to escort safely with
a Spanish convoy to Ilnynmo would not now bo
enouuli, 15,000 or '.'0,000 being needed at pres
ent. Kven tills forte requires twelve days fur
tho trip and Is often cxhmistoil by lighting.
Ono of the last escorts lost 500 men. A Cuban
writes from Ilnynmo describing the arrival of
ono of thero convoys:
"It ts 11 wonder how those poor Spanish sol
diers cm endure so mnny hardships. Those who
are born in Spain and nro not inured to tho
cllmulo get hero in a miserable Mnlo of sick
ness. Seldom Is one of them ablo tn make this
trip twice. Tho burning heut of custom Cuba
nnd the hardship of a inarch without halt from
Mun7anlllo, with tiring erery hutf hour to
answer tho volleys of tho Insurgents, nro
enough to ruin the health of the strongest man
from liurope. Tho soldlrs have several times
protested against the duty Imposed un them.con
tending thnt their own lives wero as worthy of
consideration as thoso of the Inhabitants of
llayamo. Hut after nil, when the order to start
Is given them, they tako their places In tho
herd with that admirable endurance which
makes so remarkable tho unpaid, Ill-fed, and
yet blindly loyal Spanish soldier.
"A fow days ago a poor private from Gallcta,
only IS yoars old. arrived with the Spanish
column, and on catering the streets ot llayamo
fell senseless to tho ground. He was carried
to the little dirty military hospital of tho tor.ii
nnd tho next day he died, nfter a tudden at
tack of madness. In which, holding n bayonet,
iio ran amuck, killing two guards. I asked
the surgeon, a sensible Spaniard, what tho sol
dier really died of. nnd he answered: "From the
crimo which Spain commits in sncrillclng tho
best of her youth In this devastating war.' "
Hut the crimo cannot bo committed much
longer, because the lU,000 soldiers required to
maintain tno Spanish tasltlons In tlie cast aro
needed by Weyler In tho west. "I ho;vc," said
tho Cnptain-fJcneral to tho representatives
from Jlguanl, llayamo, and Holguln, "that you
will help tho short garrisons 1 will leave there
to hold the forts against the ecmy without ex
pecting reinforcements. Tho tlmo has arrived
in nhtch Spain needs nil hcrbons, soldiers, nnd
civilians alike. I will try to tend the convoys,
but I will attempt only what ts possible in the
circumstances."
After tho capture nnd destruction of Vic
toria do las Tunas by Gen. Garcia, Gen. I.uque
retired tosrsrd MauzaulUo and Garcia has not
met a singlo Spanish soldier in tcu days.

Special CtiMe tictpatrn Io Tno Sen.
Lo-tPON, Srpt. 17. The Speaker will publish
to-morrow an article dealing with the United
Stales and Cuba, In the concluding portion ot
which it aajs:
" We must not forget that America has per
fectly legitimate business Interests in Cuba,
Tbe United States Government can And excel
lent reasons to Intervene whenever It likes. It
cannot stop the supply of arms and men to the
Insurgents except by an elaborate policing of a
dllllcult coast, which publlo opinion would not
stand.
" Tho policy of the Insurgents has been to drain
tbe Spanish resources. They have been suc
cessful. The Spanish defeat at Victoria de las
Tunas gives Spain n shock which, it Is hoped,
will check her drift toward bankruptcy and
civil war. Her first step Is to recall Oen. Wey
ler, n step which tho Irrepressible criticisms of
his fellow Generals ought to facilitate. The
next step Is to arrange terms with the insur
gents, perhaps with the aid of the United States.
Otherwise Spain may hnvo greater dangers to
face utter tho meeting of Congress In December,
and certainly sho will bo less able to face them."

the Halearlc Isles yesterday that the Bishop of
Polma had menaced Seflor J. Navarro Reverter,

been correct, as advices received today say that
the decree of excommunication haa been pro
nounced by the llishnp.
Tho fab net will discuss the matter to-day,
and it is the intention ot the Ministry to appeal
to tho Pope against the Bishop's action.
Tho Government is especially annoyed by tbe
action of the Bishop ot Palma in view ot the re
