10 THE FLORIDA
MURDER.


tSpeciat 70 HE WohLD-l
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, December is.
"Details Of the tragedy near New
Smyrna are coming in slowly, tele-
graphic communication not having
been established until this morning.
Mr.. Paclxwood left home ON Friday
morning for Maitland, TO be gone two
days. Mrs. L. ID. Hatch, neighbor
and dear friend Of Miss Bruce, came
to spend the day and night with her
during Mr.. Packwood's absence. L.
D. Hatch is carpenter and orange
grower, and has lived near New Smyr-
ma for the past fifteen years. Both he
and his wife came from Maine. Miss
Angelina Hamilton Bruce was daugh-
ter Of Hamilton Bruce, Of New York
city.
Irwin Jenkins was the first to dis
cover the crime. He is q negro who
calls at the Paclxwood house every
Saturday to do errands and light jobs.
At nine o'clock in the forenoon he
knocked at the door and got no answer.
He saw a window smashed in, and
then called the neighbors, who made
an investigation and notified the sher-
if and coroner. No positive clue as
to the murder has as yet been found.
Several footprints were made in the
sand under the window. Some were
made by d No. Z or boot, with box
toe, the wear on the outside Of the heel
being much deeper than on the inside,
which would indicate that the wearer
was bow-legged. TWAS at first thought
that the crime was the work Of tramps.
but this opinion was subsequently dis
PEELED BY finding trail leading around
the yard to the north, and then
through the Hammock, south to the
ROAD path no one could travel I'M
less familiar with the country. Mr..
Packwood has suspicious Of somebody,
but refuses to disclose them until the
proper time arrives.
There were rumors Of discarded
lover, who had sworn vengeance, and
that robbery was not the object Of
the crime, but that it was rape and
murder. The murder Of Mrs. Hatch
and the two children was, undoubt-
edly, to destroy evidence of the assault
upon and killing Of Miss Bruce.

DEPUTY SHERIFF MCDONALD nm
PoRTs THAT HE SEEMED PER-

m ms SISTERS.

Deputy Sheriff Mcdonald returned
home yesterday afternoon after having
safely placed Herman Fischer in tho
possession Of his friends in Jersey City.
AS stated in THE World, Mr.. Melon
aid left here on Saturday in company
with Tischler. The man conducted
himself properly and seemed satisfied
that he was going in the direction Of
home until Washington was reached.
Here Fischer concluded that he was
at the end Of his journey and when the
seats were reversed in order to make
the relay he made up his mind that he
was being trifled with and taken back
to Martinsburg. Mr.. Mcdonald con-
WINGED him to the contrary, but he
seemed uneasy and once made des-
perate effort to jump from the train.
He worried very much over the fact
that he had been confined IN Jail apd
could not realize what he had dones
AT the same time he was aware that
Mr.. Mcdonald had possession Of bis
money and he kept asking for it con
htinually.
Deputy Sheriff Donald took Tiscl-
Ter to the home Of his sister, where he
was welcomed very cordially and the
officer thanked for having SO kindly
cared for and returned him. When
once at home Fischer seemed 10 regain
his proper senses, and upon the advice
Of his sister he conducted Mr.. McDon-
aid to the Hotel Hamilton, made him
acquainted with the proprietor and
volunteered to pay the bill, but this
proposition the Deputy Sheriff would
not consent to. He also made an APP
pointment to show Mr.. Mcdonald the
sights Of New York but the latter
thought he could getalong well enoughg
II now looks as il there was some OPP
position to his marriage to Lilly Davis
and this more than anything else I'M
balanced his mind. All expenses in
connection with his removal to New
York was promptly paid and none Of
it falls on the county.

WASHINGTON, December 15.--It is
probable that both houses Of Congress
win adjourn over the Christmas season
from Friday next. There is practically
no business on hand, and If there were,
the House is in no condition to pro-
coed with it.
Very little win be done ia the SEN
ate during the current week. The Re-
publicans may hold caucus to receive
the report Of the Caucus Committee in
charge Of assignments to vacancies
and transfers Of Senators to the va
rious committees, but this may be done
without caucus action. AT any rate
it is probable that the committee list
will be submitted to the Senate by
Wednesday.
Other than this, and some remarks
BY Senator Turpee on his joint reso-
luton, proposing q Constitutional
amendment providing for the election
Of Senators BY direct vote Of the
people, and brief speeches on various
topics by other members, the Senate
viii not transact any business.

next at noon, and on motion Of Mr..
Holman, viii probably adjourn until

On account of a tagging inspi-
ration, the publication of the
Brownsvill Times was delayed three
days last week, which gave Editor
Mcdonald, that champion of the
peoples rights, Southern Iinn's
guardian angel, a chance to deliver
one of his childish Phillipics.
AfteHten days imitation he does
not, as Milton would say, "Rise to
the full height of this great argu-
ment" There is this peeuliarity
about Mcdonald, he has but one
theme, county taxes, and from that
theme he never strays. We had
thought that the story of unequal
taxation had become too hackneyed
to call forth further remarks. 1t
is well for the people of Albany,
that the enemies to her prosperity
have but this one string TO play
upon, otherwise the music would
never cease. Had the Times the re-
motest idea that Halsey, Coburg,
or Charlottesville would have be-
come the county seat in the event
that the county had been divided,
would the Times have advocated
division with as much unction2
Would the Times have said any
thing about unequal taxation, or a
more satisfactory disbursement Of
the peoples money! We not only
ask these questions, but we insist
upon a candid answer. We could
use some very opprobrious and
abusive language, but we know
that it dosn't require very high
order of talent to abuse people-a
parrot can do that. Our apology
for deigning to notice this pleasant
rejoinder of the Times is expressed
in an old proverb, "Answer fool
according to his folly"

TIE GAINS OF THE YEAR.

AS the old year goes out We reck-
on up the gains. Foremost of all
there is the admission of Wyoming
the first woman suffrage State; then
the majority report of the Judiciary
Committee of the United States
House of Representatives, in favor
of a sixteenth amendment. Then
there is the brave canvass in South
Dakota. The battle was lost, as it
was at Bunker Hill, but the same
ultimate victory awaits those who
fought that fight. The Mississippi
Constitutional Convention, by its
consideration Of the suffrage ques-
ton, caused it to be discussed all
over the South. The agitation Of
this subject in the Kentucky Con-
stitutional Convention has reused
the whole State, and many of its
noblest women have brought their
best service to help the State to be
Just to women. The Methodist
Church has carrid on a woman
suffrage campaign for months, re-
shifting in a majority vote for the
admission of women as lay delegates
to its higest church council. Pub
lic sentiment in favor of equal rights
is growing steadily all along the
line. Let us thank God and take

The doubter will come upon every

sceptieal Didymus, and said, Reach
hither thy finger, and behold my
hands; and reach hither thy hand,
and thrust it into my side; and be
not faithless, but believing In
stead of resenting the slight which
had been cast upon the veracity of
His disciples, instead of rebuking
an occasional absence from the
Christian Fellowship, Jesus Christ
actually submits to the very tests
which the doubter himself had
elected. He was greater in that
hour than when He wrought
the chief of His miracles. He
gave, however, gentle hint that
the time of personal, sensuous rev
elation was fast closing, and that
the spiritual era was about to open
He said, "Thomas, because thou
