Both Murderers Confess.

Mrs. Kane and her paramount, George
Centre, made confession. The latter
was the first to break down.
He stated that a man named George
Johnson had met him and given him a
pistol with which he was compelled to
shoot Kane. Centre then detailed prac-
tically the story Of the murder as al
ready stated
johnson" as far as can be learned
from the evidence, is Mrs. Kane, who
logged UP in a pair of her husbands
trousers is said to have welded the
hammer which smashed in the head of
the murdered man. The Stepson Of the
murdered man, who is not more than
II or IA years old, says that when the
old man went away from the house to
go to Bungtown. his mother and
George went out together, and that his
mother had the hammer and a bundle
The woman at first tried to tell the
Johnson story, but when she heard of
Center'S confession she abandoned that
entirely and said it had been done by
Centre, and that no such person as
Johnson had been mixed up with the
affair in any way whatever. She stout
~ denied all charges of criminal init
macy between herself and Centre until
she learned that Centre had owned up
to it.
Kane was a well-to-do farmer.
Lynching was freely talked of by the
excited neighbors, but the prisoners
were kept safely locked up in jail.

AT SEA IN A NAPHTHA.
Capt. w. j. Thompson's Experience
That He Doesn't Care to Repeat.

That He Doesn't Care to Repeat.
The naphtha launch Clipper arrived
here yesterday from Florida, and Capt.
w. J. Thompson, who has seen pretty
rough service as a Savannah pilot, says
he viii never forget his first trip to sea in
a naphtha launch.
The Clipper was recently bought by a
party Of gentlemen of this city, two Of
whom went with Capt. Thompson to
Palatka about a week ago TO
bring the boat here. The party
was anxious to get home, and as
the weather looked very fayOra Die
they decided to keep at sea, instead Of
coming inside via Fernandina, at least as
far as St. Andrews Sound. The boat had
proceeded about half way between the
two entrances when the engine gave out
and the little vessel was at the mercy of
the winds and waves.
10 make matters worse it was discov-
cred that there was no anchor, but for
tunately Captain Thompson improvised
one with bag filed with ballast, and by
splicing some ropes, made cable about
nifty feet long. This kept the boat from
drifting into the breakers.
After good deal of hare work, a jury
mast and sail were rugged out of the
stanchions and awnings, and the boat
navigated in time into St. Andrews Sound,
where sail boat towed the Clipper to
Brunswick. The engine was repaired,
and trlday the boat started for home, ar
irving here yesterday.
The Clipper Is twenty feet in length,
and has Sintz gasoline engine, and can
make ten miles an hour. Capt Thomp-
son says it is the best little sea boat be
was ever in, but he does not care about
going to sea in her again.
