NEW YORK , Feb. S. The mutilated body of a man without a stitch of clothing on It was foirail in the East river today. Half of the head was missing , the right leg was cut on * at the hip , the left leg was cut oftt. at the knee and both arms were gone , hav ing been cut oft close to the shoulder. The police believe that another murder mystery of a similar character to the recent Gulden suppe case has been unearthed by this dis covery. The man had apparently been strangled to death , stabbed with some sharp Instrument , thought to be a stiletto , and then cut to pieces. Around the neck were marks as though a rope bad forced its way into the flesh. On a portion of the left leg remaining on the body were three sharp cuts , which might have been made with a stiletto. There were 'izrulsrs on the back , which might have been -aused by a struggle , and a small wound , which Is thought to bo a bullet hole. Not until an autopsy Is held can these supposi tions bo verified. The body bad been In the water for a week or more. It Is that of a man about five feet eight Inches tall , broad shoulders and muscular body. The portion of the scalp , which still remains , was covered with sandy hair. The corpse appeared to bo that of a laboring man. The entire'front part of the head was cut off. Wherever dis section had taken place the cuts were regu- " .ar and razorllke. Inspector Crocs said ho was ocsltlvo the man had been murdc-red and that 'ho mutilation wns to conceal the Identity of the victim.

Captain Larsen says he sailed from Savannah , December 10 , with n cargo of naval stores. " 'AVhen three days out from Savannah- captain said , the vessel encountered a strong gale and began to leak. The bark put Into Bermuda , where It was thoroughly caulked , Balling again January 22. Ten days after leaving Bermuda It met n gain from the north and nortA west with enormous seas. The olHcew were obliged to put the vessel before the gale , OB It was laboring heavily and had sprung a K-ak again. The leak gained rapidly. The . ; tas boarded the ship In every direction , sweeping everything before It. The decki buckled and crocked , letting the water through and the oino-rs saw the craft could not live longer and put out fenders and hawuers soaked with oil , using oil from L-Ioset pipes nnd from the scuppers , which 8inoohed : the sea to some extent and un doubtedly prolonged the life of the vessel.

If the attorneys had so desired , a Jury for the second trial of the suit of the state against the bondsmen of ex-State Treasurer Hartley might have been empaneled yester day. As It Is , the body o"f twelve men Is within an ace ot being selected. Both state and defense have each a challenge left and consequently only two changes can be made In the Jury so far Selected , which Is ns fol lows : Charles M. Cottrell , 2538 Sherman avenue ; G. II.

The entlro day was consumed In the ex amlnnt'.on ' of Jurors , the case again having the right of way , as none of the other judee attempted to secure a Jury. > . \s the dlffcrcn members of the panel were excused for varl oils reasons nnd when a sulllclcnt nitmbe was secured they were sent Into the crlm Inal court room , where late in the afternooi a Jury for a criminal case was empaneled. During the course of the day State Tress urer Mcscrve. State Auditor Cornell nnd Sec rctary of State Porter , all of whom are wit nesses for the state , came Into the cour rcom , but ns their services did not seen likely to be wanted they went nivay again The work of securing the Jury proceedei smoothly , although ono question propoundci by Attorney Cowln forthe defense proved a stumbling block In many cases. This was whether the Jurors bad formed nny opinion of the liability of the bondsmen of Bartle > as a result of the latter's conviction. In many cases the men called said that thej had concluded that the bondsmen should be held responsible , Inasmuch as the convictioi of Hartley was evidence In their minds tha defalcation had occurred. Attorney Genera Smyth several limes addressed the court In the contention that this answer to the Ques tion did not disqualify the Juror , but the court held with the defense. Jt'HORS AND THEIR EXCUSES. When court reconvened yesterday morning Attorney Cow'n for the defence began the ex amination of the Jury. A. J. Harder was ex cused by the court and James Hyland o : 1208 North Twenty-fourth street was sum moned In his place. He is a street car con ductor. Ho succeeded In convincing counse on both sides that ho had no opinions regard ing the case. George A. Ostrom Informed the counsel fcr. the defense that he had a prejudice against ono of the defending bondsmen and bellevei that It might Influence him In flndlng a verdict. Ho was therefore excused nnd John Lehman of 2514 Blnney street was called. He also had a prejudice against the bondsmen and was excused. The next juror was Henrj Owens , a laborer , who lives at Twenty- first and Burt streets. He had an Idea that the bondsmen ought to be held nnd was ex cused. J. T. Helgren of 838 South Twenty- second street wns summoned next. In his examination by the defense he was asked "Assuming that the conviction of Hartley was right , do you believe that the bonds men should be held liable for his shortage ? " "Yes , sir , " answered the juror. The defense Insisted that this furnlsheil cause for excuse , but the attorney general maintained to the contrary , Insisting that ninety-nine men out of 100 would naturally conclude that the bondsmen of a defaulting otllcer should be held liable. Ho said the " , trMnn 'nvolved ' In the case was not the liability of the bondsmen , but whether the bondsmen were legal bondsmen. The court held with the defense , however , and excused Hegrcn. ! A satisfactory juror was finally found In the next mnn summoned , George H. Cook of 1013 South Tenth street. Ho Is a nurse , and has lived hero for nine years. MORTENSEN IL\S HIS VIEWS. Upon examination by the defense , Charles Mortenson said that If no evidence were In troduced he would not bo able to return a verdict for the defendants , This was ad vanced by the defense as cause for excuse. Assistant Attorney General Smith questioned the witness and discovered that under the same circumstances he could not return a verdict for the state. The assistant county attorney Insisted therefore that he was a competent Juror , saying : "Of course he could not return a verdict for cither the stnto or defendants If no evidence were In troduced until the court Instructed him. No jury could. They would have to sit like bumps on a log. " Judge Powell , however , excused Mortensen , and U. E. Llvefoy , a contractor ot 2813 Cap itol avenue and a forty-year resident of the county , was next called , He W < JB excused because ho had some sympathy for the bondsmen on account of the big amount of the shortage. For the same reason Hyman Goldstein , a merchant of 1209 Douglas street , was excused. Jexlah Cooler of 242S Corby street , an engineer who has lived In the city for twenty-fioven years , was finally given n seat In the jury box , although ho said he had an oplnlcn. which , however , would not affect his verdict. Zack Turp'jn and John MaUen went through the examination without developing any decided opinions on the case and were allowed to remain In the Jury box. B. Luckcy , however , was of the opinion that the bondsmen ought to be held liable for any shortage In. the olllco end was therefore ex- JENSEN CHANGES HIS MIND. At yesterday afternoon's session Charles Johnson of Twenty-ninth and Karnam streets , a painter , was called to replace Lucky. Ho proved to bo sulllclently wlth- 3Ut opinion to secure a place In the jury box. box.When When Chris Jensen was examined by the dcferoo he stated that his mind , which had been fair yesterday , has assumed a hue of prejudice during the night. Yesterday aft ernoon he stated that ho had never heard of Hartley or the Hartley coso und he was iher rorc competent to sit as a juror. Dur ing the- night , however , he had made up his mind that If a treasurer defaulted his bonds men should bo held liable. Ho was there fore etxcueed. John Hocan of L and Sharp streets , South "hnaha , had some decided oplnlor.u regard- ng the case and so had Frank W. Dandle. ; he cigar dealer. Both consequently proved o bo unsatisfactory to fill Jensen's place. C. F. Moore , however , had a sulllclently jlank mind and wes given a seat In the Jury JQX. He U a railroad man , has lived In the county for ten years and lives at C07 Marcy etreet. Alonzo Arnold and Q. H. Thomas both passed the examination of the defense- This completed the examination of the Jury for challenges for eauso. The state was then called upon for Its first peremptory chal- engo and excused Charles Johnson. In his place Lars Peterson , a farmer of Valley , was called , but he was promptly excused be cause ho had a lingering Idea that bondsmen ought to bo held liable for officers' defalca- lons. J. R. Brown , a bill poster living at 518 Madison avenue , was satisfactory and ook a seat In the jury box. He has lived n the city for twelve years. Da Its first peremptory challeoee the de fense excused \Vllllnm . w. Shaw. To re place him Homalno PAlmcr , ' a. gardener living at Forty-fifth and Emmet streets , was summono.1 , but mas excused .because he con sidered the bondsmen -should be held liable. For the same reason J , L. . 1/jyd , a farmer ot Waterloo precinct , failed to get on the Jury. George Lodge of CIS South Sixteenth , A stationary engineer , had some sort of opinion which he thought would Influence him In ar riving at a verdict aiijljas therefore ex cused. Finally John Bo\idesson \ , a dairyman of Florence , suecccJc * In Retting through the ordeal satisfactorily.Ho has lived In the county for twenty-two years. On the state's second peremptory challenge J. H. Brown was excuses ! . H. W.MorrJs - , a bricklayer of 1323 South Twenty-second street , was called , but on account of an opinion which It would .take evidence to put aside , he was excused. Halfdnn Jacob- sen , an Insurance man living at .1020 North Twenty-ninth street , and n resident ot the routity for twenty years , was accepted as sufficiently without knowledio. After considerable consultation between the attorneys for the defense , llobert Proc- I tor was excused on their second peremptory ' challenge nod Fred S. Patterson of 14fiG South Sixteenth street , an employe of the packing houses , was called. He was free of opinion and was thcreforo. accepted. With one challenge lef ( for each party. General Cowln announced that the defense wished to reserve It until morning In order to permit an absent counsel , Bartlett , to have a say In the matter. ' The state there fore concluded to also deliberate on Its third nnd last challenge until morning. An ad journment was therefore token , the Jury be.lng put In charge of a 'bailiff ' for the night. ; > _ M l'Hll ' , AY'S IMUM'HIlTY. SOI.I1 ARAI.V. llnlilliiKN lllil .In ) > V UKllnlilfiM of tin- Under nn order from the United States dis trict court , nearly all of the coal estate hold ings of Thomas Murray , I'j .Omaha and Doug las county , have agnl.ii bjtfcn said to satisfy mortgages covering them. ' E. S. Dundy , jr. , as master-ln-chanccry of tjio court , disposed of the possessions , which Include the Murray hotel property , Mrnday morning at the court house , after the usual manner of such public sales , and now will iWln another legal b.ittle by the defendant'toset , aside the pro ceedings , i About two months ago this property was foreclosed upon caul solil In satisfaction of judgments , but the mortgagees were forced to vacate the sale because H was not valid In Hiat one of the appraisers who had fixed the values upon the proper- turned out not to be a freeholder. Thl necessitated the appointment by the court .of another set of appraisers , upon whose "return of values the sales Just closed were made. The mortgage covering the hotel property was for $ f > 5,500 , whlzh , .sum the mortgagee , the Mutual Benefit LlfeJ Insurance company of New Jersey , bid for it. There were no other bidders and Master. Dundy decVued the corporation the legal owner of the property. This sale was made asUo outcome of the company's foreclosure proceedings against Miirray. George Warren Smith Jand Frances Smith were the mortgagees luthe , otficr foreclo sure suit against Murray and as such they bid In the property Involved. It Included lot 14 of Jackson's addition to Omaha , half a block of property south of the - courthouse house , thirty-one acres , of lots and blocka i-n - Murray's addition to Qknhoma. nine acres of ground adjoining that , addition , 120 acres of ground northeast , of Rlverview nark , nine teen acres of land In South Omaha and 80C acres of farm laud in Douglan "county. This property was covered bya.blanket mortgage for $80,000 $ , and It was sold In Q lump fa- $70.325. \ Returns of the sale were- made yesterday by Master Dundy to Judge Miingcr at Lincoln , and Attorney T. J. Mahoney , counsel for Murray , alto filed' ' with the court his client's objections to the crciflrmatton of the sale. They are based upon the general charge that the sale wns made through fraud and con spiracy and allege specifically that Mr. Dundy In making the sale , dirt not take the oath as special master-lnrchancery to con duct It ; that ho did not give the required bond ; that the appraisers did not take oath to Justly and truly appraise the property and that the appraisement was a fraud. The Interposition sets forth that much of the property has ben appraised lower than the assessment made against It for taxation. In support of this allegation Instances of the appraisement arc cited. The nineteen acres of land In South Omaha bns been assessed at $ S30 , which according tq the ratio of tax ation makes It worth abouj $8,000 , while the appraisers placed the valautlon at $400 less than one-half of the assessment for taxation. Some of the farm land vvns 'ippralsed at $10 per acre , whereas It rents for from $3 to $4 an acre per annum. The nine-acre tract near Ulvorvlew park was assessed by Frederick J. Sackett , tax commissioner of the city of Omaha , who maintains that his assessments are one-third of the real value of property , at $2,780. whereas the appraisers fixed the value at $1,800. Mr. Mahoney con tends that on the basis of the commissioner's assessment the property Is valued at $8,600. It is further alleged in the objections that the forty-aero tract lying near the park was nssessod by the commissioner at $10,235 , which would make the real value of the property over $30,000 , whe ! ] the appraisers have put It In nt $10,000 , The lots nnd blocks In Murray's addition iKd been as sessed by Sackett at $9,050 , giving them a total value of $27,150. whereas the apprais ers had appraised the property at $ C,320. The hotel property was appraised at $100- 000 , whereas the building nlone cost Slur- ' ray $150,000. In addition to jvhlch the grounds has a market value of $1,000 a front foot and Is considered worth $ CC,000. With these objections anil many more of a simi lar character which Attorney Mahoney has submitted ho hopes to Induce the court to refuse to confirm the sale. The announcement was made this morn ing at the Murray hotel that the sale of this property will In no way affect the pres ent management of the house. llliky SUCH South Oniiiliii.

The automatic gambling machines are stll running In Omaha. They nro running will the knowledge of the police and under their protection , notwithstanding the orders of th Fire and Police commission tor their re moval. The gambling goes on day and night wce-k days and Sundays. Anyone can satlaf > I himself of this by stepping Into any one o a hundred cigar shops , drug stores am ! saloons In which the machlnw are In opera j Hon. j H will bo remembered that ns a result o The Bee's persistent warfare on the auto ' mntlc gambling machlncis the police board 01 November 20 adopted the following resold ' tlon : j "Bo It resolved ; That the chief of police bo and Is hereby Instructed to order the Im I mediate removal ot all nlckel-ln-thc-slo . machines of whatsoever kind or dcscrlptloi I from the places where they arc now being operated and to Inform the owners and opera j tors of such machines that the further opera I tlon of Mid machines by them will lead to tholr nrre-st r.nd prosecution. The chief o pollco Is further Instrucica 10 cause the ar rest of all poisons who do uot comply will the above order. " With bull-headed pcrverscness the chief o : pollco construed this order to Include over } slot machine In the city , regardless of Its gambling character. Ho even shut up tele phone Instruments , music boxes , phonographs and chewing gum dispensers. On complaint against this arbitrary and Illegal action Mayor Moores gave supplemental directions to the chief which were later endorsed bj the board as follows : "The chief of police is directed not to Interfere with nny slot machine In which there Is no element ol chance- , but which delivers each time to the customer n certain definite value. " If these orders were ever carried out , they uro no longer enforced now. There are hun dreds of machines In operation In Omaha which are nothing but gambling devices. They do not return each time to the cus tomer a certain definite value , and there Is no case In which they do not Involve an element of chance , as specified in the amended order of the board. Although those which proffer the steady Inducement of one stick of gum or one cigarette return a cer tain value , however small , It Is on the cle ment of chance that they rely for their patronaco. EVADING- TUB LAW. While they pretend to pay only in mer chandise , In the great majority of cases the winning check is readily cashed In. oo that they are , to all practical Intents and pur- pcoes , cash machines. Of course , whether the winnings are In cash or merchandise equivalent to cash , docs not affect their char acter as gambling devices. One of the protected gambling resorts , for example , is In the Paxton hotel , where two machines , built on an unnlloyoJ plcu of hit much or miss all , arc constantly running. They are both alike , simple , Inexpensive boxes , containing a ball under a glnew case capable of rotating ; cne located at the news stand and another at thebar. . A nickel nnd the pressure of a slide propel the ball In a circle over numerated holes. If the "customer" realizes his hopes nnd the ball stops at the double cipher he collects ten cigars , If at the single cipher he gets five , "but If the globe pauos at 2 , 4 , 14 , 20 , 28 , 30 , or at various other numbers , he must BO without a smoke , and Is even denied a "Mexican stogy. " The familiar llttlo box described hereto fore Is the most common device of the sort In use at present. It was found , together with other machines , In no less than lifteen out of twenty-one establishments carrying on gambling as a side line , In which a tally was made. Most of the boxes are the prop erty of the manufacturers , who lease them out on fill-ires , although quite a number belong to different proprietors. Some of the latter are not content with the sure win schedule prepared by the manufacturer , but have erased and altered the scale of awardo so that In eomo cases the double cipher , which formerly brought the patron ten clgara , has been rated as worth only flvo In the grudg'ng estimation of the local pro prietor. The single cipher has been scaled from five cigars to two In the same manner. AND THERE ARE OTHERS. The device second In popularity Is the card-whlrler , In which four decks of cards arc sot In motion by the Insertion of n nickel and possibilities ot unlimited cmokes are opened up. For If cno sees In the re sulting hand a royal flush ho Is entitled under the rules of the game to 100 cigars , or In many cases to their equivalent In money. If he > is successful In Retting KO much aa a pair ho wins ono cigar. Another card machine Is arranged for the reception of pennies , and Is better patronized than the higher-priced one. The scale runs from twenty-five cigars down to ono for a pair of Jacks or over. If the playc-r gets any thing less than a pair of jacks he receives nothing. A machine which Is In use In many drug stores Is the automatic "color salesman" with the placard at the top , "free cigars , " They are free , however , only under certain conditions which the player can comply with only If the fates are with him. In most of the machines of this type the patron works under a ruinous handicap , The probabilities of ono of them wns estimated which bore the Inscription , "you do the guessing , wo do the rest , " leaving the significance of "tho rest" somewhat In obscurity. It was found that If a man played rod or blue , which [ inld 10 cents for five , there wore Just four jhnnces In fourteen of winning , when .tlie fair ratio would have been seven In four teen , The chances on the white wcro even moro desperate , for this color only offered ono chance In fifteen to receive back the money five-fold , or 25 cents for C , In other stores you are allowed 50 cents on the whlto and 16 on the red or blue , which still iieavlly favors the proprietor. Another Interesting device Is"the dice shaker , which mixes up tbo cubes In an apparently Impartial manner. If you are un lucky the only "fixed , definite value" which Is returned to you Is a reference to the corresponding number of a fortune-telling card pasted at ono side. This has been Irawn up with n grim humor and something of policy. Opposite these numbers which lo not win have been placed such fate read- ng as the following : "Never be discouraged , as things will EOOII come your way , " and , 'Keep your grip and never say die. " A nachlnc which Is homcwhat out of date , nit Is still in use , Is the presidential photo graph gallery. Flvo candidates are shown m the chart , with another space marked 'Try again. " The coin Is placed In a slot narked with your favorite's name and If the revolving arrow stops at the corresponding ilcture , you win 25 cents In trade. A mndlcap against the player Is present In this also , on there U but ono chance In six of winning a five-fold return , besides the profit on the merchandise. The "educated donkey" Is another device which goes hrough quite an Intricate performance bo or a turning the wheel of fortune. Ho usually wins , however , and only differs rom the player In being educated. The only other contrivance so far In- roduccd la the Ferris wheel , which la Almllur to others In Its method of operation. OnlniK-l Iliilicocli DiuiKvriiiiNl- . CHICAfiO. Feb. 8. Colonel A. C.

The somewhat sweeping retrenchment con tcmplated by the resolution Introduced bj Andrew Kltnvlt In the Board of 1-Muratlut last night wns entirely unexpected lo the majority of the members , and hns iirousei a good deal of discussion In educational clr cles. While the general scope of the resolu tlon Is condemned by nearly every mcmbe of the board , It has brought the question o economy squarely before them , and thld Is believed to be- the principal object tha Mr. Klewlt had In Introducing the resolu tlcn. tlcn.So far as the proposition to dispense will manual training , drawing. French and music at the High school Is concerned , It Is nrguei that the economy would only be apparen nnd would not actually save a dollar. Will the exception of music , the branches men tloncd are all parts of the regular eurrlcu him. It la contended that after a high srhoo Includes f > 00 pupils or upward , or. In other words , when the duplication ot classes be gins , the abolition of any particular brand of study docs not save anything. Each pupl Is compelled to take n certain number o studies , usually four. Drawing , French am manual training each count as one study If one of them were abolished each pupl who had previously taken that study wouh he required to select another In Its place As each teacher can only Instruct a certali number of pupils , It Is contended that a new teacher would bo required to teach the new class , and It would cost Just as much to In struct It In n new study as In the one whlcl was abandoned. It Is declared that to droi manual training would even Involve an ad ditional expense , ns It would requlio Severn teachers lo Instruct In any other branch tin number of pupils that are taught by ono In structor In manual training. So far as the music Is concerned , the In struction consists In two chorus drills per week of three-quarters of an hour each. The Instructor receives $1.100 a year , or about $3 for each school day. Calling live hours a day's work , the musical instruction In the High school costu about $1.50 a week for 1,100 pupils , or about fi cents per pupil per year. According to tlie figures of Its op ponents , this represents the entire saving that would bo effected by Mr. Klewlt's reso lution. H'U ll.XKVUST AIIIU'T rOllPI.KTHU.

The local Icemen gave out the Informa tion yesterday that about four-fifths of their crop had been gathered and that It only needed n short period of cold weather to complete an unusually large store. Manager Martin of the Seymour Ice com- I'any said : "We have alro.dv put up about 10,000 tons and only need about 10,000 more lo complete our crcp. The Ice is of excellent - le-nt quality and Is from ton to fifteen Inches in thickness. The men have- about completed the gathering of the second cutting and are now waiting for another touch of cold wo.Uher to complete the season's work. " The South Omha Jce company reported that about 10,000 tons ot the CO.OOO required ! o supply Its patrons had been secured from the river and lakes and that the Ice was of the best quality , running In thick ness from nine * to twenty Inches. An officer of the company stated that a couple of weeks more of cold weather would be all that would bo required to complete their harvest. The Arctic Ice company reported that about 18,000 tons out of a necessary 21,000 , had been obtained and that Its men were still busy cutting the second crop , but would soon have to desist unless cold weather came to the rescue. It was stated uy Secretary Cole that a fortnight's more of cold weather would bo all that was required by the Ice companies of the city In order to obtain a full crop. Lamoreaux Brothers stated that four- llfths of their crop , which usually consists of 12,000 tons , had been gathered and that there was but llttlo fear that a full croi * would bo obtained before the end of the sen- son. This company Intends , If possible , to put up 2,000 tons additional to accommodate the unusual demand which will be made this summer. The packing houses of South Omaha report that they have secured nearly n complete crop. I'LC.MISKHS OPI'OSK THU OltDI.VAVCI2.
