Here are slgniflcant facts which came Into the possession of the police coincident with the establishment of the woman's Identity.

A telegram and a letter signed in her name and dated at a time when it i now known her body lay in the 'Harrison morgue awaiting identification 'were received by her sister In the Bronx conveying the idea that she stiti lived and had gone away to bide from her husband. Two Insurance policies on Mrs. Whit more's life one In the Prudential com pa ay, the other in the Metropolitan for amounts that are not known have disappeared. No assignment has been mode of either policy. The letters are in the hands of the Harrison police, but there comes from Schenectady, where a brother and sister of Mrs.

Whitmore live, the information that one more letter received by the sister under date of Dec. 29, four days after Mrs. Whitmore's death, yet bearing her signature, is in identically the same handwriting as a postal card written by Theodore S. the husband, and sent to Schenectady on July 2 last. Not only Is the handwriting the same, moreover, but both postal card and letter are addressed to Victoria a vwiue Instead of Victory avenue, and both Instances the word Sehenec tudy has been misspelled in the same manner.

"You Killtd Her at Lat." One peculiar feature of the case Is this: Mrs. Whitmore's trunk, addressed to her at her sister's home in the Bronx and sent in accordance with advice in one of the letters purporting to have been written by her, when opened was found to contain nothing but old clothes and junk. Mrs. Susie Schmitters, the sister of Mrs. Whitmore, who completed the identification of the body, was taken to the' cell room where Whitmore is locked up and confronted him.

When she saw him, she exclaimed: "You killed her at last, didn't you?" "I did not," responded Whitmore. "Yes, you did; you know yon did. You threatened many times to kill her and Harry, and you finally did it." Whitmore has told In the main a straight story, although it varies in some details with the stories which have been told by others who have been called in by the police to throw light on the case. For Instance, the husband admits having had a serious quarrel with his wife on Christmas day. His relatives tell of her having visited them on the before Christmas bearing the marks of a severe beating which, she said, he had administered that morning.

They tell of frequent beatings of that character. So do the relatives in who have been heard The neighbors tell of similar occurrences. Whitmore Admit Beating His Wife. Whitmore floes not deny having beaten his wife. He even specifies i A' petition has bees filed la the county commissioners' office, placing me name or aotb c.

Those about the premises made a vain endeavor to fight the fire down and then had to content themselves with saving a small part of the effects. A number of men employed at one of Albert Lewis's lumber camps, not far from the lake, hurried to the scene, but were unable do anything because ofpoor fire fighting facilities.

Tbaw( hits begun proceedings for the nullification of her. marriage with the Carl of Yarmouth. The Yarmouth case is entered to the defended list for trial at the coming sittings of the divorce court. The solicitors concerned in the case are niak buc every effort to maintain absolute secrecy regarding alt the details of the suit brought by the countess. The court has ordered that the pro ceedings be held in camera, atad the.

papers are being kept secret The only inkling obtainable of the charges preferred Is a statement to the effect that the nature of the medical evidence to be given makes a public inad visable. The Countess of Yarmouth is stay ing at Park Hall, near Evesham, Worcestershire, a magnificent country seat she has leased, decorated and re furnished with lavish expenditure. She declines to comment on the case. The. Earl of Yarmouth cannot be found in bis usual London haunts.

Causa of Estrangement. It is said here that the estrangement results from two causes. The first cause is said to lie the action' of the Earl of Yarmouth during the first trial of Harry K. Thaw, brother of the countess. It is known that when the trial was about to begin Yarmouth went to Egypt and lived in seclusion in the select colony of English folk who reside there during the winter mouths.

The second cause is said to be the action of the Thaw family in determining upon an insanity plea for Thaw. it is also rumored that Yarmouth objected to insanity figuring in the New York Thaw trial on the ground that it would have a direct influence on the succession of the YarmouthJ estate in tne event mere was an issue from the marriage. The countess Is the daughter of the late William Thaw of Pittsburg and marfttid George Francis Alexander Seymour, earl of Yarmouth, to Calvary. cnurcn, ruwDurg, on Apni laua, The marriage followed a rather, brief courtship and put a stop to the 'earl's stage career, which had begun to pri vate society theatricals at Newport and bad later been more or less successful in a professional way. Yarmouth was 8 tarred in light comedies by a well known New York manager, his title being thinly veiled in the programmes and announcement.

Won't Attend Thaw Trial. Lady Yarmouth has always been the favorite of the family with her brother, Harry Kendall Thaw, whose second trial for the killing of Stanford White will begin before Judge Victor Dowling of the state supreme court next Monday morning. She returned from England, where she had made her home since the titled marriage, and was present during the entire three months of the first trial of her brother, which resulted in a disagreement of the Jury. It lias been given oit that Lady Yarmouth would not be present at the second trial out of deference to the Wishes of her husband and other members of his family. Earl a Fortune Hunter.

The wedding of Lord Yarmouth and Miss Thaw was an event in Pittsburg society. It was planned that her eldest brother, Harry, should give her away, but be was absent The ceremony was delayed several hours to await his coming, but he did not put in an appearance. Josiah C. Thaw, another brother, acted in his place. It was also reported that the delay in the cer emouy was due to further negotiations with regard to the marriage dot from the Thaw family.

The sari is declared to have insisted upon an increase, and the papers had to be drawn up before the marriage proceed. Mrs. George Lauder Cat regie, who was a familiar (igure in the family group at the first Thaw trial, was the matron of honor to her sister. Lord Edward Seymour, brother of tire groom, was best man. A number of the earl's relatives came orer for the ceremony, Beat Her on Wedding Day.

Within the first year of her married life Lady Yarmouth was compelled to deny rumors of a disagreement with her biisbahd. She endeavored to live as quietly as possible and any entertaining that was done was so a com parativtty small scale. it Is well known that within an hour after the couple were manried be earl struck fcU bride a stunning blow in the face because her pet spaniel Jumped at him; Jefinso Can't Attend Bryan Dinner.

ITALIAN BOY HURT BY EXPLOSION Hammered a Dynamite Cap and Wag so Badly Injured That it Is Feared He Will Die. Thomas Suckoloskl, a seven year old Lithuanian boy, who resides on Union street. Upper Pittston, was severely and perhaps fatally Injured yesterday by the explosion of a dyna mite cap.

He was playing in the yard of his home about noon with a younger sister. The latter, while roaming about the grounds, came upon a dynamite cap and, anxious to hear report, hurried to her brother and gave him the explosive. Quickly running Into the house, the boy procured a hammer and, returning, struck the cap. The pieces of tin flew in all directions and with such force that a number of them were lodged in the lad's abdomen. The little girl's hands were also severely cut by the flying fragments.

A physician was immediately called to attend the unfortunate boy's wounds. and after investigation, it was thought best to send him to the hospital. He was there operated upon, but Is still in a very serious condition. This is the second accident of this kind to occur In the city within a short time, and on each occasion the victim was a small boy. One of the little fellow, a foreigner living In Oregon, suffered the loss of an eye and had a finger blown off.

Whether the young Suckoloskl boy will recover or not cannot be determined as yet. CONSTABLES HAVE RELIANCE IN HAND Levy Has Been Made on the Property of the Coal the Coal Excepted No Sale Date.

Protection Demanded. The Protestants demand protection for their constitutional religious rights and1 claim that numerous attempts have been made tb assassinate Alonzo and other native Protestants, while even the American they add, are, subjected to abuse. The Catholics, on the other hand, protest against the methods of these missionaries. The diocese, which embraces tbe Vls cayan Islands, is under Bishop Hendricks, at one time of New York. The bishop says it is true that the people, are greatly excited, but he denies the charges of persecution, contending that the responsibility for the trouble rests upon a small band of young American native missionaries, who have not the sympathy of the leading Protestants in their proselyting campaign, wbleb lncludes wholesale vilification of the Catholic church, of which the masses of the Viscayans, aa their fathers before them, are devout members.

Bishop Repuolatsa Psrea. Bishop Hendricks repudiates Father Perez, intimating that be is mentally unbalanced. The situation is complicated by the activities of the native priests of the Aglipny schism. Health officers report that in several municipalities of Cebu the religious strife is so intense that the bodies of the dead are refused burial in the cemeteries, which, are controlled by one faction or the other. This is becoming a serious menace to the public health.
