Mrs. Hhubert Ida i- . . - Hagan' mother, was positive tba murdered girl washer daughter, and her oeuvlotloa was shared by many of Ida's acquaintances. Others, however, did notbelieve that Ida was dead, but that she was alive and well In Philadelphia in one of several places named, all of which will be visited by tbe police. 1'er the purpose of ascertaining the truth et Uie matter a purse waa raised for the pur pose of enabling Mrs. Sbubert te go te Kahway and examine the body and clothing of the murdered woman and ascertain whether or net they are these el her daughter Ida. At (i o'clock tbla morning, accompanied by Ollicer Keilly, el the city police force, she left thl city en the sad errand. The collec tion was made by Officer Keilly at tbe In stance of tbe Intkixiuknckk and realized Ml 50. ON IIIAIIIOTIXI MILS. HlIUllKUT's MTATE MKNT. In an Interview bad with Alderman Alex. Dennelly tbat gentleman Informed a repre repre sentativeef the I.n tki.i.kiknckii tbat Mr. Shubert's statement in regard te the letter brought by her te his olllee about tbe leth of March, contains some Inaccuracies. The let ter, which was addressed te Ida Hhubert (the name Ida Hagan was generally known by), had been opened by Mrs. Hhubert, who asked the alderman te read it ler her. The alder uiau told her that she should net have opened the letter, as It was wrong te de no. The let ter was uet signed "Harry," as Mrs. Sbubert stated, but was signed wltb initials, whleh bethinks were "11. M. C," though bets net quite certain. Tbe writer did net ask Ida te meet blm in a New Jersey town, as Mrs. Sbubert stated, but te come down te Wilmington ou the Saturday following the day en which the letter was written, and tbat he would return te Ltneaster with her en tbe following Wednesday. The letter re ferred te the meeting of the writer and Ida at "May's" and contained a geed deal el love talk net necessary te repeat here. The In accuracies in Mrs, Sbubert' statement may be accounted for by tbe fact tbat abe was greatly excited end Iu great mental distress when she made it ; and tbat her memory waa probably at fault, abe having only heard the letter read once, before she burned it Mrs. Sbubert and one of bar daughter poke freely about a mole en one of Ida's insteps and a very small scar en her tore bead. In answer te a telegratn sent rretn Lancaster te Kahway a reply was re re eelved that there are no scar or mark upon tbe body whatever, except these made by the murderer. 1IIK MUUDKnKK (lilt!..

The strongest reason for believing that the Kahway victim I net Ids Hagan Is that the latter la tha mother of a two-year-old eon.

There will be a meeting or tbe Beard of Freeholders st Kahway te-day, and It Is like ly that they will add a reward of 8500 te tba reward already offered In the proclamations of the governor and mayor. The offer et a rewstd for the Identification el the body was probably a blunder en the part el tbe mayor, for it baa brought a greedy berde of people with bogus Identifications. rill ffjaa rAttiLr vehmdmmt.

Tba learned doctor and jurera reached tbe conclusion tbat Welsh's death resulted from oeegestloa of the brain.
