THREE-F0LO CRIME.
Robbery, Murder and Arson
Committed.
Frightful Death of an Eccentric New
Hampshire Character.

EAST KINGSTON, y. H., Dec. 7.-New
Hampshire again figures in a tragedy
which is one of the most appalling since
the days of the Christie Warden murder
at Hanover.
Joel Hodgdon, an eccentric character OF
the town, living alone in rude dwelling
about mile from the center of the town,
was foully murdered, robbed and his re-
mains burned to a crisp yesterday.
The news of the affair spread like Wild
fire, and in a short time hundreds Of peo-
pie were on the scene. The body of Mr..
Hodgdon was removed to the town hall,
where 1t still remains awaiting the In
quest of the coroner.
That Hodgdon was murdered no one
questions. lie was noticed late last even
ing at the village postofiice in company
with stranger, and that was the last
seen Of him alive. Both left the place
together, and today nothing can be
learned Of the stranger who Is badly
wanted by the officials. He is described
as being well dressed man with black
moustache and wearing long ulster, be-
ing very fluent talker.
Hodgdon was man Of means, and dur
ing his long years of toll had accumulated
considerable wealth, which it is said he
kept in the house. About two weeks ago
he received a registered letter in which
was considerable amount of money, and
this letter was found upon his person. 1t
was postmarked Denver.
No one knows the amount of money
which was in the envelope, but some of
the citizens, who were personally ac-
quainted with the old man, say that it
was large amount, as his investments in
the west were large.
Coroner Sweeney held preliminary ex-
animation, but gave no decision. Deceased
was GO years of age, and had been married
twice. His first wife is dead and the sec
ond left him. He has one daughter, Mrs
Rich of NewburyDort

CHICAGO BAKERS STRIKE.
Employers and Employees Claim 10 30 Conf
dent OF Ultimate Victory.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The bakers strike is
spreading, and yesterday six more baker
les were compelled to shut down for lack
of men. This makes 10 bakeries out of l6.
In which the men are controlled by the as
sociation, in which the strike is on.
The strike seems to be running largely
by nationalities. Saturday all the strikers
were Germans, and yesterday they were all
Swedes. The bosses claim that they will
soon have all the men they need, and
Heisler g. Junge, the largest bakery
affected yesterday, secured without much
effort II new men to replace the so men
who walked out Saturday. The bosses
say that they simply cannot lose, as there
are too many men out of work.
Last night Che striking bakers met in
secret session and engaged in an animated
discussion. They announced that they
have no intention Of yielding and declare
that they believe the fight is practically

COMMITTEE AT WORK.
Points Which Are Expected to Be Examined In
the Hawaiian MIDDLE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Considerable in
terest attaches to the Hawaiian investiga-
ton under Senator Morgan's resolution
which began today under the auspices Of
the senate committee on foreign relations.
No one seems to understand Just what is
proposed to be done by the committee,
how extensive the hearings to be given
will be, just who In TO be heard, or b, W
long the hearings will be continued.
The work is in the hands of a sub-com-
mittee of the committee on foreign rela-
tions, consisting OF Senators Morgan, But
Ter and Gray, Democrats, and Of Senators
Sherman and Frye, Republicans. 1t is
presumed that the investigation will take
the shape of an inquiry into the conduct
Of Minister Stevens at the time Of the
revolution, and of Commissioner Blount,
with the possibility of going into the
question of the recognition Of the provi-
sional government, and also an investigs-
tion rs to ths regularity Of the Blount ap-
Dointment.

HOSTILE TO M'lEOD
Receiver Said to Have been spponteo ror me
New England Midnight Skirmish For
a Circuit Court Judge.

SHSuh SNuit suuyo'
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The Herald says:
It has been said that there will very
likely be midnight receivership for the
New York and New England railroad
All the preparations were secretly made
to carry out such program in the early
hours Of this morning, but at the hour OF
publication it cannot be definitely stated
whether United States circuit court
Judge has affixed his signature to the or
Ger or not.
At O'Clock this morning several law
yers and stockholders were scurrying
around trying TO find Judge Lacombe,
who had come down from his country
residence at Athens presumably on this
sery errand. Their purpose was TO steal
, march on President Mcleod and get n
hostile receiver appointed. They sue
ceeded in throwing him off the scent very
well, but if they slipped up on the appli-
cation last night the chances OF success
today are not so good.
Mcleod fooled some clever people be-
fore and got himself appointed receiver OF
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad.
There Is every reason TO believe that he
intended to do something Of the kind
again, since he repeated his tactics In the
stock market and last week "unloaded"
most, IL not all, of his stock on TO the
"bull' pool that he had formed himself.
Among the parties who took leading
interest in the proceedings of last evening
were Frederick II. Prince Of Boston,
Spencer Erwin Of Philadelphia, and
Thomas c. Plat. all directors of the New
England road.

A FRACTURED SKULL
Received by Mrs. Murray
Caused Death.
HUSBAND ACCUSED OF IT.
Both Had Figured in Police Court Rec.
ords on Many Occasions.

BosToN, Dec. 27.-Mrs. Ellen Murray, ss
years old, living on fremont street,
Brighton, who was admitted into the city
hospital, this city, suffering from a frac-
tured skull, is dead. Her husband, Ed
ward Murray, was arrested and held In
5000 bonds for further examination on
Jan.2.
The police say that she and her hus-
band, Edward Murray, had been on a
spree for week, and that the husband
In his drunken frenzy, Monday night
struck her on the head so severely that
she was rendered insensble, and IL was
necessary TO take her to the hospital.
She was taken there in a critical condi-
tion, and her husband was arraigned yes-
terday In the Brighton court and held in
s2OOO TO await the result. The result has
come, and now Murray will have to
answer To the charge of nanslaughter, at
least.
The Murrays live on fremont street,
near Oak square, Brighton. and the neigh
bors speak more forcibly than favorably
Of the family.
Not Unexpected.
Mrs. Blakely, who lives uear by and who
knew Mrs, Murray, told a reporter last
evening that she expected something of
this sort TO occur shortly. 81 thought he
would kill her before his" she said.
They have had some li'ely times. For
the past week the pair nave been on a
spree, and l always expected that they
would wind up in some such way.
HE used to abuse her terribly. ihave
seen her come out of tbs house I'm the
morning with a black eye on several oc-
casions." That is the opinion all around
fremont street, Brighton, and there are
many stories afloat about the whisky
drank in their tenement.
Had Often Been Arrested.
They were put down as a bad lot when
they first came to Brighton, and the final
result was not so great surprise to those
who knew the family as might have been
expected.
At the city hospital. when she was
brought in, the doctors pronounced that
she had fracture of tho skull, and did
not think she could live. They were
right.
Murray was arrested last September for
an assault upon his wife and fined $40.
Both their names appear upon the records
at station II as having been arrested for
being drunk. Mrs. Murray was about IS
years old.
