Odlum, who Jumped from the Brooklyn bridge yesterday and died trom the effects thereof, re- mains at the undertaker’s, An autopsy will be make this afternoon,although really not needed, @ superficial examination of the body showing plainly the cause of death, Five ribs are broken on the right side, and it is evident that the heart was fatally'affeeted by the force with which his body struck the water. Up to noon no information had been — received from the relatives of the dead man, who resided in Washington, as to what disposition should be made of the remaius. No warrants have been issued by the cdroner for the arrest of any person connected with the affair, ose A GHASTLY NEW YORK TRAGEDY. Arrested with the Body of His Mar- dered Mistress in a Bag on His Back, EW YORK, May 20.—At 3 o'clock this morn- g- @ Frenchman, who proved to be Louis Francis, of 307 10th avenue, was arrested while on his way to the North river, bearing on his baci a bag containing the mutilated corpse of a woman who had been murdered. The police- man was attracted by Francis’ mysterious man- ner ashe moved along weighted down by his ghastly burden, and he was stopped and asked what the bag contained. The officer upon opening the sack found that it con- tained the mutilated corpse of a woman, doubled up and in an almost nude condition, There were wounds about the head and also on the trank, from which the blood had flown freely and had coagulated on the corpse. Francis declared that the corpse was that of his wife, and that she had died a natural death. Being without means necessary to defray the expenses of a funeral he had conceived the idea of carrying the corpse to the river and throw- ing itin, ‘The officer directed the Frenchman to accompany him to the 37th precinct police station. Francis ‘again shouldered the bag and bore the corpes to the police station, ‘The murdered woman was not Francis’ wife. She was Selina Fehot, 38 years old, and has @son 18 years of age, who lives in Boston. Francis, ‘who is one year younger than his paramour, has worked for some time in the French polishing marble yard. Three montis ago the couple moved into the apartments where the crime was committed. Both drank freely of beer, the man often to excess. They quarreled frequently. ‘Two weeks ago, while in one of his couvivial moods, he beat and kicked her while she was on the floor. Upon picking her up he was heard tosay: “I guess I've tinished her this time.” As the body of Selina Fehot lay in the police station this morning it had the ap- pearance of once having been that of a pretty woman, She was of delicate complexion, large, expressive blue eyes, thick, wavy, light brown hair, and Fone. in figure, probably weighing about one hundred pounds: About the neck was a twisted siik handker- hief, and about the throat lines of discolora- tion and marks of finger nails, It was evident that the woman had been strangled by twisting the handkerchief about her throat. Louls Francis tells the following story: Yesterday I found a valuable dog, which my wile after- wards lost. I reproached my wife for losing him and she swore at me. At halt-past seven o’clock last night she sent me out tor beer. When Team back I found aman named Wm. Yelsh in the room with her. She sat on my lap and kissed me. Then she threw a glass at me and then a can, She then went out. Then Welsh and I walked out a half a block and I left him to come home. When I came back she was lying on the floor dead. I waited an hour thinking she would revive; she did not. I don’t know what was the cause of her death, She told me before she died that she did not care for me, but she liked the man who put up the wine for her. He is Leopold Saconville, and he lives with Mrs. Lynch on. Broadway. After I found my wife dead I took sixteen cents, went out and got a drink. In half an hour I came back and put her in the bag to throw her into tho river. parece) i) Found Dead at His Post. A SENTRY AT THE CHATHAM POWDER MAGA- ZINE PROBABLY ASSASSINATED. Lonpon, May 20.—A sentry at the Upnor Castle powder magazine at Chatham, who went on duty at 4 o'clock this morning,’was found dead at lis post two hours later. “Beside him lay a revolver, and a bullet had passed through hislungs.

The street-sweeping contract let to L. P. Wright & Son yesterday, as stated In THE STAR, was limited to a period of one year by the Com: missioners, on account of recommendations made by Capt. Greene. There were oniy two bidders—L. P. Wright & Son and IS. Filbert. Capt. Greene, in a memorandum concerning the bids, stated that both these bidders have had contracts with the District for this class of Work, and have faithiuiiy executed them. Wright's bid for one year, on a, basis of 125,000,000 yards, was $35,312.50, and for three years $105,937.50. Filbert's bid for one year, Ooms, $34,687.50, for three years 104,052.50, and tor five years $173,437.50. The experience of the last’ two years has led Capt. Greene to modify the views ‘expressed at the last letting—that Wright’s machines are superior to Fiibert’s. He thinks that the Fil- bert machines, as now improved, are fully equal to Wright's. Capt. Greene adds ‘that by adopt- ing the one-year bid the Commissioners will have the opportunity to make another contract @ vear hence, and to take advantage of any nge of prices during the year and of compe- tition at the next bidding, and they avoid bind- ing themselves fora terin of years hich they would be powerless to ma ange in the method of cleaning should si ange become desiral new forms ¢ macht 3 TO HAY ACKS REMOVED. ‘Wo residents of Southwest Washing- ton have signed a paper to the District Commis- Sioners reqitesting. as property-holders and dents on Maryland avenue, between 111 14th streets Southwest, and adjacont ots: thereto, that the side tracks of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad crossing 1 the yard, between 1314 and 14 the side tracks on 13th: street runil goal yards, be remo: This stre 1 into d g into the t the shortest notice, latter track, they say, is particularly an: noving and dangerous, X citizen has been killed at the corner of 13th street, where the track crosses the sidewalk, and other citizens have bad Very narrow escapes from loss of limbs or death.

SOME VERY ARDENT AND AMUSING LOVE LET- TERS PRODUCED, At the opening of the O’Keefe-Winans divorce suit before Referee Nash, in New York yester- day, Ex-Judge D. M. Porter represented the plaintiff, and James ©. Carter and Joseph H. Choate are the counsel for Mr. Winans. The latter was also present at the hearing. The plaintiff Is a handsome woman, and she was elegantly attired in a tailor-made suit of drab colored cloth. Mr. Winans, the defendant, sat with bis lawyers, Joseph 8. Choat, Jumes C, Carter and L. C.'Ledyard. ‘The parties to the action sat opposite each other, but Mr. Winans e no sign of recognition, but stroked his Beara nervously from time to time, while his alleged wife leisurely and gracefully fanned herself, The table of the referee was strewn with photographs ot Mr. Winans, taken at various times in England. On the back of one picture, in which the defendant appears as a swell in an astrakan-trimmed coat, the following. 1s writ- ten: “To Miss Saalfield, as a help for the remem- brance of Ross R. Winans.’’ On another the following is scribbled: “To Ally from Rossy, with the sweetest of kisses trom Rossy to his little devil Alice.” The plaintiff was the first witness. Her counsel, Mr. Porter, produced a series of letters written’to her at differenttimes by Mr. Winans, Most of the letters have do dates. They are of remarkable character, and cannot fail to create @ sensation in society, The most important one is that in which he refers to the plaintiTas amarried lady. One, dated Baltimore, June 4, opens with “My Own’ Dear Duckie,” ai referring to some “long, tiresome, dusty ney which she had taken, continues: poor little darling; if you had seen Ross: was going home ‘on the ferryboat, you would have pitied him more than yourself. He went to the outside of the bont and eried like a baby. T swear that I regularly boohooed, so much, {n fact, that an old colored man came up and stared at me to see what the deuce was the matter.” This letter is signed, “your loving and sad Rossy.” In another letter Mr. Winans advises her to remain at the New York hotel till he can come to New York. In another, beginning “My Little Darling,” he writes: “You said some genuleman asked you togo tothe theater. My dear little girl, how in the world have you allowed your- Self'to lose your good sense so far as to get juainted so intimately with any of them, so as to give him the right to dare to ask you to'do such @ thing? “You ought, to have got mad at his presuming to ask ‘a married lady, on so short an acquaintance as that, such an insolent question, Have nothing more to do with the biackguard. © 9° * ve of the careful, dar- ling.
