A Sick Girl Killed i'm Her Bed
memphis Ledger. !

memphis Ledger
Out in neighborhood of bad repute,
on johnson avenue and the Raleigh
road, Annie Hardy, sick fifteen year
old black girl, was killed last night by
some blotd-thirsty miscreant. The
girl had been i'll for several days. Her
parents were away at church, and upon
returning at late hour found the poor
victim weltering in blood and insensi>
bic. She died about two o'clock this
morning, and an inquest was held
over the remains during the forenoon.
After the bloody deed had been dis
covered, crowd began to gather abo:t
the doorway of the humble abode. and
come one noticed a ssolid looking black
man standing near the fence. Little
attention was paid to the man
at the moment, but it was
afterward observed that he seemed
wholly Indifferent to the diaboiism
OF the deed, and merely appeared to be
taking notes as TO the effect it had
| upon the people. Later he stTolled
carelessly away, and sent his children
to make observations, telling one that
in the event Of bis being arrested on
suspicion, he would cut somebody into
minee meat, or something of the sort.
To-day this man, whose name is Wat
kins, was arrested, it being The belief
Of many that he knows something
connected with the murder No mo-
tive has yet been discovered as to why
| so horrible deed should have been
committed, unless the girl was mig

An ice pick, or something like ii, wa'
used TO stab the girl about the face anC
neck, and some larger object bsG
crushed her face and jawhone ia G
most frightful manner. Tracks were
found in the yard, the imprint of 6
small sized shoe going toward the
house, and barefoot from it. This ii

ADMIRAL WYMAN
Says Spain Did not Mean TO
Insult.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Admiral
Wyman reports to the navy depart,
ment from Port Royal, S. c.,
that he has investigated the alleged
firing upon American ships by the
Spanish corvette Canto, in West
India waters, and finds that the
ships fred upon were within three
miles of the coast limit of juris-
diction claimed by the governments
of all maritime nations, and that the
Spanish authorities had no inten-
tion Of offering any insult to the
American flag or committing any
act at variance with the usages O
civilized nations. Admiral Wyman
expresses the opinion that there is
nothing in tie case to warrant an
other inquiry.
