The question has frequent! been asked why the church is locked on'the Sabbath day and the band hall open.

Not one, for wherethere is cursing, swearing, card playing and of the foulest language used a whole Sunday, there can be no good thoughts.

His majesty's popularity has been greatly increased here by his graceful attitude toward the prince, and the hoohs were given with hearty good will. Dr. Sieveking then made an eloquent speech, in which he highly eulogized the services that Prince Bismarck had rendered the empire. The speech was received with storms of applause. Today all the public and a majority of the private buildings in the city are decorated with flags and bunting in honor of the occasion.

Last night there was a general illumination on a scale that had not been attempted before in a quarter of a century.

TOdrtod to Tbc Body of Tonne Colored TToinaa, Chopped to Found Wrapped In ClothM Near BnalncM Police Working on Slight Clcira. NEW YORK, April police are trying to throw some light on one of the most mysterious murders done in this city since the mutilated body of old Shake-' speare was found in a low resort near the East river front, for whose butchery the Algerian Frenchy is now serving a life sentence.

The murder was discovered Sunday morning shortly after 6 o'clock. The victim in this case was a yonng colored woman, whose dismembered body was found wrapped in pieces of carpeting and partially hidden from view in the area of the building of 'he New York Bank Note 'company on the southwest comer of Sixth avenue and Waverly place. How long the ghastly remains bad been lying there is not known. As yet the police hare no clew to tbe person or persons who deposited tbe bundle there, but it is surmised, for various reasons, that the body was taken to the spot where it was discovered in a wagon, for the bundle was altogether too bulky and unwieldly for one person to have carried It without ance. Immediately upon tho discovery of the crime the police of tbe central office were notified, and Detective Sergeant McCloskey and half a dozen of the best detectives were detailed to fathom tbe mystery possible.

The body was found at almost the same time by two men. One of thesq was Joseph Phillips, a yonng electrician of 319 West street, and the other Patrolman Edward S. Kasmire of the Mercer Street station. According to Phillips' story, he was on his way to St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church to attend the 6 o'clock mass when his attention was attracted to a large and peculiarly slmpoil bundle lying just against the heavy iron fence which separates tho small yard in front of the New York Bank Note company's building from tho street where it lay partially concealed by the massive posts with which the fence is formed.

Phillips leaped over the railing and poked at the object with a stick and became satisfied that a human body was inside tho carpet covering. He then ran with all speed to tbe Charles Street police station and reported what ho had seen. Tbe other side of Sixth venue, which is in the precinct covered by the police of the Mercer Street station, was patrolled at that time by Patrolman Kasmire, who went on what is known as the "dog watch" at 6:10 o'clock. Kasmiro was walkfng along leisurely ou his post when ho was hailed by a hoy, who ran from across the way and told him that there was a suspicious looking bumllo in the area opposite. Kasmiro lost no time in making an examination.

Polled Out a Unman Leg. Tho bundle was bound at either end with pieces of clothesline, leaving the middle portion somewhat loose He put his hand Inside and drew out the lower part of a human leg. Then he knew that murder had been committed, and he hastily placed the leg in its place again, and was about to report the matter at his station when Court Officer Bernard J. Connolly of the Jefferson market squad chanced to pass. Kasmiro told him of his discovery, and tho latter notified the police of the Charles Street station by telephone.

Bonndsman Maguire and two other men from the station house were sent to tho place, and they took tho remains to tho station house on a stretcher. The body proved to bo that of an uu- known colored'woman between 31 and 25 years old. She-was 4 feet inches in height and weighed about 110 pounds. She was well formed, with a flat nose aud high cheek bones, and her skin was of a dark coffee color. Around her neck was tied in a doublo knot a long piece of cheesecloth.

This bul tied so tightly that it had caused strangulation, aud had forced the tongue to protrude from the mouth, and bad cause the cheeks to puff out unnaturally. The woman's hands had bceu tied across her breast with a strong piece of cord by means of a slip knot Her legs had boeu cut off just above the knees, and one'of Uiem lay on the top of the body, with its foot toward her bead, while the other was found underneath tho body. Both mem- bars had been hacked off wtth a sharp ax' or a butcher's cleaver, and pieces of rag- np the remains a batcher's aUhongh I -think a knife was used on the thigh. The- severing of the legs from the nppra portion was dgne by main strength and not by any person skilled in the use of tit knife ID the dissecting room. I amour prised that there was no disfigurement the face, and I can find no external evidence of a straggle.

Perhaps she choked to death in her sleep. There will be nothing more to be learned about the condition of the woman until an atitops; has been performed. Theoria as to the Motive. Among the slight clews which ma; eventually lead to the identification of thi body are those furnished by a plain gold ring the woman wore on the third flngez of her right hand and by the fact that she wore a porous plaster on her left, breast. Two ings found near the body in front of the Bank Note company's build ing which may prove valuable were a hot- tie of alcohol and a small bag of salt.

Until the remains were removed to the morgue during the afternoon they wert visited by many hundreds of colored people living in the vicinity, but none ol them could identify her, although Allen, a house cleaner living at 6 Eas Tenth streets thought he recognized her a woman who had once worked in his ei ploy, but he could not tell her nama It is the opinion of the police that the woman is a member of that class of colored women who live on the streets running out of Sixth avenue and gain their livelihood as women of the town. They make no attempt to explain the motive for the crinia It is pretty certain, however, that tbt crime was not committed in the immediate vicinity in which the mutilated bod) was found. The bundle was of such bull and weight that it would have been nexl to impossible for one roan to have carrieo it uuaided, and he surely would have boeu noticed by a policeman and questioned had he made his appearance on the street witl so noticeable a burden as that. There was one generally accepted theorj to the effect that the body was brought the little spot of green in front of tbt Bank Xote cdmpany's building in a wagon and was dumped where it was discovered some hours later.

Tbe only clothing tho woman had on was a chemise and chemisette of white material.

When these were removed, a gaping wound nine inches long aud which penetrated to the bone was disposed just above tho right thigh. It was evident that this, too, had been made with an instrument similar to that which hnd been used in outtinir off the Tt nnnarent that the mnrderer first attempted to cut the legs off at tho hip, but that ho had not found tbo articulation there and thnt the task was too difficult to bo performed in that way. The intention was to cut np the body so that it might bo readily packed into the smallest possible compass for removal. The stuff in which the body was wrapped was composed of an old brown table cover, which some thought to bo a piano cover, a piece of carpet aud an old rug. Along with the remains there were a small piece of blue silk which might have been part of a dress and a black skirt of some woolen material.

-This had apparently been much were and had been made smaller at some time to fit its last wearer. The police looked upon tLvso two pieces of clothing as possible clews to tbe identity of the murderer and his victim. A Fomlble Clew. In the bundle there was found a piece of note paper, bearing some cvideuce which tbe police concluded to conceal as being of some importance. On this paper was clot of blood, aud on it, was written in pencil these words as far as they could he made out: "March 25.

Raw Way, N. J. James (or Jane) E. Surindel, Raw Way, N. Bene-lh was tbo word "Solo- nion" and also the word "brother," while the word "ditto" was written between.

Tbe body was laid on the floor of tbe station house and was viewed by Coroner Dobbs and subsequently by Deputy Coroner Donlin, who made a careful investigation and examination of the wounds and of the woman, iu order, if possible, to determine bow she came by her death. Dr. Donlin first removed tbe stout cord which bound the hands together. This cord had been tied so tightly as to make great creases in the flesh. He next unloosened tbe long piece of chocseclotn with which tae woman nao been choked to death.

He found that thit had been tied Iu a double knot, anil that it had been the direct cause of death. The other mutilations, ho said, had been made after death had coma was no blood on the woman's person and none on tbe light clothing she wore, whicl Dr. Donlin accounted for from the fac; that she had been killed before she had been chopped up. The deputy coronei said that he had no doubt that the woman had been cut with a sharp ax or a butcher's cleaver. There was evidence, however, in the cut on tbe thigh that the innr- aerer bad used a knife at first in order tc (ever the whole leg from the trunk, but bod given that instrument np for a mart powerful one.

The legs had been cut ofl just above the knee joints, tbe mnrdcrei having evidently failed to find the articu lation between the parts. There was nowhere to be found any evi deuce of a struggle on the part of tbt woman. On tbe neck was an abrasion caused by the cloth with which the strangulation had been done, and a alight abrasion on the other side of the neck which bad probably been made two three days ago and bad healed. Tbe deputy coroner was positive that Idle woman had been dead not more than 84 boon before the body was found, and tint aba bad been dead not leas than hours, although the time might have been Uss. said also that the woman had been a xootber.
