Carotid artery severed and body absolutely ripped open from the onsiform cartilage to tho pubis, crouched behind the chimney tho Barret of a story arid a half house ou tho southwest corner of avenue and Forty- third streets. is tho mere substance of a dreadful murdor which was committed in this city some time between tho hours of 5 o'clock Sunday night and 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Tho A Gorman woman of about 35 years of age named Melmda Mioling, Yesterday morning Coroner Spann was notified that thero was a murdered white woman in the old ono and a half story house on tho southwest corner of avenue and Forty- third streets. Tho corouor and County Physician W.

I. Ducio wont to tho house at onco and in tho garret of tho building behold a horrible sight. Crouched on her tnooa and arms was Me- Hnda Mieling in hor house dross cold in death. On the floor waa a puol of coagulated blood. Examination showed that tho carotid artery had boon severed, tbo body ripped open from tho onsi form cartilage to tho pubis, tho intestines pushed asido and tho womb out open, exposing tho foot of a foutus.

Tho skirts and underclothing woro bundled around tho woman's body, both logs. This doed was carefully and calculatingly dono; that thero is no doubt of. Tho body was turned over to tho police, removed to tho city undertaker's rooms, a preliminary inquest hold, and then tho burial. Nothing that. lias happened in Galvoaton in years has so affected tho citizens of this city as this murdor.

Tho deed was as fiond- and skillfully dono as was over any mur- dor committed by JACK THB mi'PEU, Tho wholo act ohowod study and caro on tho part of tho murderer. Road this: Tho house whoro tho dood was committed is an old ono and a half story structure. No other houso IB immediately near to it. Tho upper part is divided into two rooms, or rather, a small room is built off ono coruor of tho largo attic. Through tho southwest corner of tho small room, but away from tho wall, a brick chimney goes up through tho roof.

In tho center of tbo room sits an old bedstead, on which Molinda Mioling and hor mother slept. Tho mother is about 68 years of ago, and does not apeak English. There is baroly room for two persons to pass around tho bod, so small is this room. To tho west a window opens. From tho oast, a door is out, opening into tho attic.

A flight of nar- now stairs loads from tho lower floor to tho attic. At tho head of tho bed, half behind tho ohimney, Molinda Mioling was found--butchered. In a corner a bottlo of whisky and at tho door a pailful of empty sode water bottles. There was absolutely no sign of a struggle. No bloody marts along the lloor, on tho walls, on tho bed or anywhere except just whoro the dead woman lay.

Thoro was no knife to bo fuuud, iur any wuupuu suggeifK-d itself as being used in tho commission of tho deed. Only a poor, old, feoblo, drunken, wrinkled, tottering mother, who I.KEKEO AT THE TOLICE I Meliiida Mieliug and hor mother had tho reputation of being very dissolute. Thoso who know them state that they woro drunk whenever they could got liquor. Tho dead woman is said to havo boon married to named Bishop, who socurod a divorco from her some five or six years ago. Since that time sho has gone from bad to worso.

For several months she livod with a negro named White, who put in part of his time as laborer and part of it as a preacher. Oftentimes, when mother and daughter were drunk, they would quarrel ana light. Last summer Molinda pushed hor mother out of tho window, which ding throat were inflicted. Thero was not enough blood on tho Hour to indicate that a struggle had taken pliM, nor wero then any signs of struggle. Tho w.ro not distorted much, if any.

"1 searched tho entire premises carefully for sinus of a strugulo. Found none. No blood spots along Uio floor, no bloody marks on tho well, no blood on sho bedding. Tho stairs utflflp, una If tha woman had been, murdered outside tho house, it would havo been possible for pno man to hare carried hor up those stairs. There woro no signs of blood on tlio steps, nor any signs that any marks had been erased by washing.

Thero woro absolutely no signs of blood except just whoro the corpse lay." "Do you think it possible for tho murderers to havo held tho woman whore sho was, in- ilictod tho wounds, and then held her whilo Bho died?" asked ths reporter. waB rouble. It was a regular Jack tho Ripper case without thq dovilish mutilations," replied Dr. Duoie. Dr.

Ducio will make a formal report ot his investigations in a duv or two. Tho Murdered Woman's Mother. Christiana Nelson, the mother of Molinda Mieling, is a little, wrinkled old German woman. When seen at the polico station last night sho certainly appeared unique. Clad in a calico drees, with a faded handkerchief around her head, she seemed to havo retained her old country ideas of dress.

Her bauds, short and wrinkled, wero clonehod as is usual with old people, and she was still drunk. Dur- uig the afternoon she had cried and chuckled by turns. When crying sho shed no tears, and her bleared eyes suggested the idea that tho old woman's mind was weakened from the use of liquor. A NEWS reporter asked Mrs. Nelson through an interpreter how old sho was.

''Ach 1 1 am U8 years of ago," said sho. How havo you beon in America?" About twelve years." "Whon did you see your daughter last?" night (Sunday) sho aud I we wont to bod together. I go to Bleep. I wake up in tho merit aii'l Melinda sho gets up. I fall asleep again and when 1 wake up it is day.

I look around and I see my daughter on tho noor. I call her. Sho not answer me. Then I go to hor and I see hor dead--killed. I did hoar no noiae, not any.

1 hear nobody come into the room at nil. I do not know who killed my daughter." When Mrs. Nelson was examined by the coroner she gave a different version of when sho last saw her daughter. Mrs. Nelson's Block- ings had blood spots on them.

1'rellinhmry Inquest. Yesterday noon, Coronor Spaun held a preliminary inquest on tho body of Melindu Mieling. Tho. facts brought out aro as follows: Melinda Mioling was about 37 years of ago. She mother, Christiana wore the only persons living in tho houso where tho murdor was committed.

Mrs. Nolson testified through an interpreter, that tho last time that sho saw her daughter alive was about o'clock of Sunday evening at homo. At about midnight sho, Mrs. Nelson, went to tho little room, and found Molinda on tho floor noartho chini- noy, dead. Sho notified a Mrs.

Hampton, a sister of the deceased, of Molinda'fl death yesterday mornmg. Mrs. Nolson said that sho slept iu tho largo room of tho altlc, which wasusod fora kitchen. Sho did this bocauso sho snored so loud that it kept Melmda awake. Sho said that nhe hoard no one go into tho houso during tho night, and has no idea who killed hor daughter.

Coronor Spann adjourned the inquest until further notice. A Nevada Sheriff's Opinion. W. H. Botsford, sheriff of Orango county, Nevada, who was in Oalvoston 1 yesterday, speaking of tho murdor of Molinda Mioling, said to a NKWS reportor; wot.t to tho house where tho dead woman was.

There she lay, huddled up on tho floor, hor head bahlnd the chimney.

Alderman Harris insisted that resolution should be put before any other question arose, claiming that the council had boon called together for a specific purpose--to hear the veto of the mayor--and thai the transaction of any other business would be illegal. Alderman Smith contended that the mayor's veto should be disposed of one way or another boforo anything else waa done Acting Mnyor Nolan ruled that Alderman Heymershotlor'B resolution was ontiroly in ordor, and that, being a resolution to refer, it took precedence over everything else. Tho mayor then ordered a vote to bo taken on Alderman Reymershoffer's resolution, -hici resulting in a tie, 0 aycji and 6 nays.

Attached to the report, is a communication from kugiuoor KicrEtod, giving a summary account of IIIB work HO far, and estimating that tho sum of $5000 is necessary before proceeding further.

response to this report und communication tho resolution was passed receiving tlio roiMjrt and appropriating tho niouoy. thereby, in my opinion, approving--at leant by implication-- tlie actions of tho committee as contained in tlio report, aud leaving an opening for future complications and iniaconBtrur.tlnn. 111 wan satigned that it was the Intention of tho council to approve tho action of tho committee, 1 would bo unwilling to Interfere, but I havo spoken with members of tlio council on tho matter, and, while tlioy seem willing to approve the selncLioii of an engineer, I find many opposed to the final location of the wells until further investigations nnd tasts imvo boon made. My opinion coincides with theirs, and i fool justified in disapproving any resolution which contains either a positivn or imnlii-rj npprovu! of propopfd location, whilft tlioro is ouch a considerable number of tlia momliors of tho council demanding further investigation.

There was some attempt on tho part of Aldermen Harris and Schmidt to speak further on the question in the way of protesting against the action of the council, but a motion ivds made, amid much confusion, that tho council adjouru, and the mayor declared it carried.

Tho pooplo of Galveaton wpro given a genuine musical treat lost night. It was something In tho nature of a surprise, too. for while tho pooplo, relying on tho woll known reputation of tho Qraus, knew that they would present nothing bad, it was not generally known that tho attraction was BO superior and first-class as it really in. Said Pasha is something of favorite hero, and whilo it has been frequently presented to tho music loving peoplo of Galvoston it has novor been placed on tho boards iu a more nt- traotive form or by a bettor company than that which played it lost night.

There was a largo audience present, ail the seats down stairs and in the gnllory being filled. It was an appreciativo audience, too and applauded liberally, showing that it was well pleased. Tho chorus in tho first ueeno was very fine, the voiccj blending in perfect harmony and tho giving evidence of thorough training. Miss Edith Mason has one of tho sweetest soprano voices. It is cot so full and strong ns it might bo, but its richnc-ts and sweetness cover up all defects and sho had not sung a dozen notes before flho had tho audience with hor to a man ant woman.

Her acting is, what is so rare in ai opera singer, good, and it is good because she is natural to life itself. During tho first act received two oncoroa and sung, firsl "Dixie," whloh brought down tho houua on a sontimont, and next, "Way Dowu on tho Sowanee River," which' elicited bursts of enthusiastic applause on its merits. Mr. Persao has a splondid tenor. It is by far tho best hoard here in years.

This io saying much, but is is true nevertheless. Last night ho had tho identical part taken by Will Rising, a tenor of national reputation in his day, when last in this city. Tho comparison was forced upon nil who had heard Rising tho part, am) it is hard to say which of tho two tonors pleased tho audience. It is really unjust to have mimtiouod the players immod, for nil tho others aro equally entitled to praiae iu just as groat a degree as they. It is a company, thoroughly trained.

Tno report asks for tho appropriation for the purpOHO of "surveying nnd Butting up plans and whilo the roHululiua makes the appropriation for thu purpose of "colloiHiiitt and arranging tlio ilata ucci'sparr In prcpantlion nf plans and surveys, and to investigate more tho quality and quantity of tho waters for our city supply." Thin portion nf tlie resolution, it appears to mw, admits of different con- BtrnctionK by persons of dilToront opinions. It might be held under it that the Hitchcock water is the only water available, and that a more full and complete Investigation of quality and quantity of that wator would comply with tho resolution, while 1 boliove it in the spirit and intention of tho resolution to Include in the iuvcstigatloJi all wstorswhich mny bo made available as source of supply.
