AN ATROCIOUS MURDER.
A SERVANT GIRL KILLED IN A MAN.
SION AT LEXINGTON, ky.
Bhe Was Prepossessing White Woman
Her Lover. Who Had Accom-
plished Her Ruin, Charged
With the Crime.

LEXINGTON, KY, April betty Shea,
\ servant girl in the family OF John ii.
Voolfolk, was found murdered in her
room in a wing Of the Voolfolk mansion
early thismorning by another servant who
went 10 call her. The room gave evidence
OF desperate struggle, and her nightgown
and under garments were torn in many
places. He skull was crushed in with some
blunt instrument and her head and body
were badly bruised. In the pocket
Of the dress she had worn on
Sunday was found note from
her lover, Thomas 0Brien, saying
he would be up TO see her Sunday night.
Her trunk had been burst open and q
package of letters had been taken by the
murderer. Other servants stated that Betty
Shea had been talking for o long time
about being married soon, and on Sunday
told one OF them that she and O. Brien
would probably be married Sunday night.
0'Brien was placed under arrest and at
first admitted he had been with the wo-
man early in the night, but afteward
denied having been there at all Sunday
The post norton examination showed
that Betty Shea would have been mother
in less than five months, and at the Coro-
ner's inquest Dr. Young testified that one
month ago O'Brien wanted him TO furnish
medicine TO produce an abortion on Betty
Shea, Who was pregnant Several dam
aging notes from O'Brien to the murdered
woman were also offered ~ evidence. Tho
Coroner's jury rendered verdict holding
0'Brien as the murderer.
Various theories are advanced, the prin-
cipal one being that the woman last night
insisted on o. Brion marrying her, as he
promised, which led TO quarrel and
ended in murder. The girl was prepos-
scssing in appearance and OF good rcpula'
ton. O'Brien murdered young man

THE WASHINGTON CENTENNIAL
me Naval Program Will Be Carried Gu,
, THANKSGIVING Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, April Mai. Asa Bird
Gardner (retired), who is chairman Of the
Naval Commission on the New York Cen
tennial Board, waited on Secretary Tracy
with some members OF the committee to
talk over the program OF the naval demon
stration at the celebration. As result of
the conference it is probable that the navy
VIII be represented on equal terms with
the army at the centennial. The present
idea is to invite Admiral Porter, the high
est officer in rank in the navy, to take
charge OF the naval forces, or, II he should
not be able to undertake the duties OF the
place, then Rear Admiral Jouett, or some
other high officer may be requested to as.
sumo charge. With this change in the
program the active cooperation OF the
Navy Department will be assured, and
every naval vessel within easy relch will
probably be ordered TO New York to assist
in carrying out the program.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April. Twelve hundred
carpenters in this city went on strike this
morning. The causes leading to this
action are demand of the men for an
eight hour day, and forty cents per hour
Ms standard wages. The bosses seem to
generally concede the eight hour day,
but are divided about the wages. many OF
them being unwilling to give more than
thirty cents per hour. In addition to this
the men are much agitatcd over the fact
that the bosses "persistently ignore the

they arc determined to have recognition
as an organization.
