STRAHCLER'S DEED
Seventeen-year-old Girl Is
Murdered In Cemetery.
BURIED IN NEWLY DUG GRAVE.
Hiss Annie Schumacher Had Gone
With Choice Flowers and
Plants to Decorate the
Family Plot.
Rochester, N. V.. Auk. 10. The po
lice have a moat mysterious nnd baf
fling mystery on their hands in the
murder of pretty Miss Annie Sehu
mnchnr, sevontcen years old, whose
body wns found In a lonely spot In
Holy Sopulcher cemetery. The girl
had been strangled and than beaten
with a henry stono, which was found
by hor hoad. The slayer nfter the
murder had dug a grave and burled
his victim.
The spade which was used to bury
the girl was Identified as having been
stolen from a cow barn of St. Ber
nard's seminary, near the scene of the
murder.
That the victim fought desperntely
for her honor and her life was shown
by the battered condition of her body
and hor clothing, which was In tatters.
A wound In the head had caused the
Wood to soak the ground. The girl's
left breast had been torn nearly off,
and her throat showed the effects of
the death grip of hor nssallnnt.
The dead girl lived with her mother.
Mrs. Mary A. Schumacher, and sisters.
She left home on Saturday afternoon,
carrying choice flowers and plants
with which to decorate graves In the
family plot In the cemetery.
When Miss Schumacher did not
reach home by 7 o'clock Saturday
evening her mother been me alarmed.
The girl has several married sisters in
the city, and all werc jioUlleii. but
none had heard from her. Saturday
night one of the brothers-in-law and a
sister drove down to the cemetery,
and a hurried search of the grounds
was made. It was found that she had
visited the cemetery, as the graves
were newly decorated.
Detectives working on the case be
lieve the girl wns followed to the cem
etery by the assassin nnd attacked as
she was making her way to the gate
on the return. The scene of the crime
Is on the east side of Charlotte boule
vard and near the bank of the Gene
see river. It is n most lonesome spot.
The appearance of the body was hor
rifying. On the head lay a large stone,
the weapon used In the murder. The
girl's face was battered almost beyond
recognition, and there were bruises all
over the body and limbs. The clothing
was torn and disarranged, and there
was every sign In the condition of both
eorpe and clothing of the desperate
struggle the girl had made.
Dried blood in the girl's finger nails
show that she must have left marks of
her struggle on her murderer's face,
and there Is every hope of apprehend
ing him.
Miss Schumacher was the youngest
of eight sisters. There nre also two
brothers in the family. The girl, while
seventeen years of ngc, looked more
youthful. She was of medium build
nnd pretty.

wishes to continue the negotiations.

Arm. It was made plain the negotia
tions concerning the Antung-Mukden
road had been closed forever In so far
as thoy related to thnt section of road
between Mukden nnd Cheslangtun
and that It would not be necessnry to
suspond work to reach an agreement
upon that one strip.

"Don't Tell My Wife."
There is nothing In this beautiful
old world of ours, that has as much
attraction for the average man, as
a young nnd handsome widow.
There seems to be a bond of sym
pathy between all mankind and this
branch of feminity, probably for the
reason that she was bereft of the
cause of all her earthly Joys and
sorrows, so early In her young life.
For this reason, the eight Ameri
can widows, who will be seen here
at the Lyric with Mr. Howard
Hall's newest musical comedy,
"Don't Tell .My Wife," on Tuesday
evening, August 17th. nre one or
the most Interesting features with
this bright and amusing attraction.
They are certainly good to look
nt, and they wear some stunning
gowns.

DASTARDLY OLTItAGI
Two Cows Killed by Purls Green
Mixed With Salt.
Friday morning Richard Freethy
and James Smith discovered that
they each had a sick cow In tho
pasture lot, rented by them and in
which, also, were eight other cows.
An Investigation soon revealed the
cause of the trouble. Piles of salt,
mixed with Paris green, were ar
ranged in .1 wide circle In the lot,
In tho centre of which was left a
pall of water, the pall being fur
nished by the miscreant, who did
the poisoning, in order to make the
job sure. Several other cattle,
evidently, from their actions, had
taken some of the salt and poison,
but only the two mentioned have
died.
That Honesdale harbors such a
cowardly miscreant Is almost In
credible, and if he Is discovered we
shall not feel a little sorry for' him,
for the punishment will be swift and
sure.
Those "Stickers."
We wish to suggest that the 20,
000 seal stickers now being issued
to advertise Honesdale's Old Home
Week, are not made for the pur
pose of ornamenting your neigh
bor's doors, show-windows, walls,
or anything of the sort, and don't
make a nuisance of yourself by so
doing. Put them on the back of
your letters, postal cards, and on
bundles, boxes or anything of the
kind, which Is going outside of
Honesdale. Every one here, who
Is not deaf and blind, knows, or
will know, all about It. Send tho
stickers out of town. That's the
purpose for which they were con
structed. Old Homo Week.
Chairman H. Richards, of the dec
orating committee, says that ho

providing that three arches could bo

had made arrangements with an

Have the arches, by all means.
