A MYSTERYRED WHIRLPOOL
A NegreSS Found Murdered and Her
Husband Dead In a Well.

The womans Head Cut Open In Sew
eraI Places by Blows With an AK.
One Theory Is That the Husband
Killed Her and Then Committed Sui
cide-FouI Play the Explanation Ad-
vanced by Another Theory.
Greenville. S. c., Jan. 23.-Last night
Ed Davis killed his wife and then killed
himself Davis was a well-known and
rather prominent negro. He sold papers
and rama store. His wife was a hand
some yellow woman. Both were under
thirty years of age. The whole affair is
wrapped in mystery. They lived happily,
were respected by the white people and
no cause can be assigned for the act. He
chopped open his wife's head with an
AK, probably while she was in bed asleep.
She had several ugly gashes, either of
which would have caused death. She
was found in bed this morning, her long
hair carefully smoothed and the cover
neatly pulled up about her, and had it
not been for the blood she would have
looked as if she was sleeping.
The body of Davis was found in his
well, few steps from his back door.
The theory is that in a sudden fit of
passion he struck her and then finished
the job with the axe. The horror of the
deed was so great that when he Gained
down he leaped into the well. Their
oldest child, aged s years, saw the father
and mother retire. No screams or noise
were heard by the neighbors. There
is n growing feeling among the c0lOred
people that there was foul play, and that
Davis and his wife were both murdered.
The coroner's jury brought in verdict
that the woman. came to her death at
the hands of parties unknown. 1t is a
significant fact that a negro suggested
that Davis was in the well as soon as the
murder was discovered.

PAINTED FOR WANT OF FOOD
a Narrowing State Of Affairs Among
AtlaRta'S Working Glasses.

twenty Men Out of Squad ofTwenty-
i've Put to Work on a Street Paving
Job Unable to Hold Out Owing to
Weakness Brought on By Lack Of
Proper Nourishment.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. PA narrowing
state Of affairs among the working classes
Of the city came to light to-day, in which
the good citizens in the neighborhoOd Of
CORTLAND avenue and Governmental house
were treated to the pitiable spectacle Of
strong, able-bodied men actually sinking
down in the street at their work from
weakness and exhaustion brought on by
hunger.
Messrs. Venable Bros, paving con-
tractors, had started upon a piece of
work in that part Of the city. Their
force Of hands had been idle for quite
time, owing to the practical abandonment
of street paving, and the men, it is now
disclosed, have been actually suffering
hunger for want of work. Seeing their
condition, the Venables put them to work
on the little job referred to.
twenty-five men were employed. They
were all able bodied laborers, who had
been in the regular employment of the
Venable firm. Everything started off
well enough. About 10 o'clock ten men
dropped off from sheer exhaustion. They
were in a most sorrowful plight. Several
others fell by theroadside between noon
and o'clock and at 4 O'Clock only
five of the entire squad of twenty-five re-
manned at their posts able to continue
work. Il have never seen such thing
before, :" said Mr. Venable land as soon as
my overseer reported the distressing Oc-
currence to me, l Immediately dis
patched him with food for the
suffering men. l suppose they will
be all right in day or
two. These men are good industrious
laborers, but they had been idle so long
owing to their inability to get work that
they have had to suffer denials. l doubt
whether some of them have had an aver
age of a good square meal day in weeks.
This condition of things simply left them
80 weak that they could not do a days
work when it came to them"
Atlanta has been crowded with unem-
ployed workmen for months until the sit
uation is becoming serious.

a BATTLE WITH A DESPERATE.
Citizens of Bryan County Arrest
Henry Baker After Fusilade.


Henry Baker After Fusilade.
Pembroke, Ga, Jan. 22.-Henry Baker,
a desperate negro, of Belknap, Ca, who
has long defed the officers of Bryan
county, was arrested last night by Deputy
Sheriff w. E. Canady, of Pembroke. as
sisted by Shereff p. J. Thompson and
couple of citizens. The negro is a notOrl-
Gus thief. gambler and rObber. He has
threatened the lives ofiseveral white men
and once attempted to shoot Glenn Har-
vey, of BelSnap. He walked in defiance
of all the citizens of Belknap, carrying
pistols and a Winchester rife. which he
took by force from another negro.
Negroes around Belknap were afraid TO
come outside of their houses at night for
fear of being robbed by him. He has cut
and shot several men, who were mostly
negroes. Last night the few men from
Pembroke who had planned to arrest him
went up on the late train and walked out
from Belknap to where he lived.
Baker was finally located in his own
house, though other negroes lived all
around, and he refused TO come out or
open the door The front door was
knocked open, and Immediately Baker
poured a volley of Winchester balls into
the midst of the men, who stood firm and
returned the fire with pistols. Only four
shots were fired at Baker. but one took
effect in his arm, ranging around his
shoulder, which caused him to stop
shooting, and then Mr.. Canady walked
in and tied him. He cursed viciously af-
ter being arrested and taken TO Belknap.
The sheriff carried him to the Bryan
county Jail this morning, where he will
await the spring term of the superior
court.
There are several warrants sworn out
for Baker, but he was committed only
under a charge of shooting at the officers.
1t was a narrow escape for the men who
arrested him, one of whom was badly
hurt by splinters shattered from the door
facing, and Deputy Sheriff Canady was
burnt in the face with powder. Baker
had the advantage, as the moon was

TWO WOMEN POISONED.
They Drank From a Bottle Which
They Thought Contained Valerian.

They Drank From a Bottle Which
They Thought Contained Valerian.
Ocala, Fla, Jan. 23.-Last Saturday
Miss Doctor Worcester and Miss West, of
Conant, took belladonna by mistake for
valerian. Miss Doctor Worcester was
on her way TO Lady Lake to attend a
meeting of the Christian Endeavor So
ciety in which she was to assume an i'm
portant part Before leaving her Office
she took dose out of vial supposed to
contain valerian. BY the time she got to
Lady Lake she knew something unusual
was affecting her and told her friends.
She asked to be put to bed and that doc
tor be sent for. DR.. Merrell, of the viii
lage, responded, and when the case was
made known to him he said the lady was
poisoned. Strange to say Miss West, who
lives with Miss Doctor Worcester, entered
the Office after the doctor departed, and,
seeing the vial on the table, and thinking
it valerian, took dose too. II was not
long before she realized that trouble was
on her, and she sent for a doctor and
word to Miss DIR. Worcester of her
troubles. Medical aid came. 1t was
twenty-four hours before the patients
were deemed out of danger. The cases
excited unusual interest
All the doctors for miles around were
summoned, including Drs. Parker and
Mcnamara, from Leesburg Nothing in
the history of Lady Lake and Conant in
the way of excitement ever approached
these occurrences. Conant is midway
between South Lake Weir and Lady
Lake, on the Florida Southern railroad.
Miss DR. Worcester has been resident
and practicing physician at Conant for
the past seven years, and is most COM
petent and successful doctor.

PUNTA aoRDA POINTERS.
The Season the Most Prosperous in
the History of the Town.


the History of the Town.
Punta Gorda, Fla, Jan. 23.-This is the
most prosperous season that has ever
come TO Pwnta Gorda. There is a great
deal of building going on; many import
ant improvements are planned, and bust
ness is generally good. The number of
arrivals OF intending settlers and investors
increases week by week. There are many
inquiries regarding sites for factories of
various kinds and locations of business
ventures. The country, as usual, too is
filling up rapidly. The Tead settlement
Will probably bring from 100 to 200 fami-
lies inside Of year; many families are
settling at Grove City, and there is a gen
eral indication Of healthy tone TO the
local market n
The class Of migrants coming is much
better than ever before. They are men
and women who expect to lead a pioneer
life for while, and are prepared for it.
The transient hotels here have been
overcrowded lately, and private boarding
houses have had to take many strangers
in.
There is serious complaint here against
the present railway accommodations. A
new railroad, IL is felt. is the great thing
needed to develop South Florida
The present has been one of the best
seasons among f1shmen of several years.
They deal very largely with the Savan-
nah market. With better railroad con-
nections fresh fish can be supplied as late
as June l.
Iarpon and channel bass fishing is extra
ordinarily good in Charlotte Harbor this
season. Two 500 pound catches, made
by three visitors, are among the latest
reported.

TRIAL OF DIR. HINKLE.
Three Witnesses Testify for the Pros
ecution.

ecution.
Americas, Ga, Jan. 23.-The Hinkle
Jury was completed soon after 9 O'Clock
this morning.
The first witness for the state was
Prof Cox, of Shellman, who clearly and
intelligently told of the insult offered DIR.
Worsham on Friday, Dec 16, five days be-
fore the killing by the Drs. Hinkle. AS
DR.. Worsham was passing their Office,
going to dinner, he was accused of swear
ing to lie. Worsham replied that the
jury, by their verdict, decided that the
Hinkles, and not Worsham, swore to the
lie. Prof. COX's evidence clearly showed
the disposition of the Hinkles to provoke
a difficulty.
After evidence by H. T. Davenport and
J. A. Raniere going to show that only two
or three minutes elapsed between Dr.
Worsham's leaving Rylander's corner
and the killing, DIR. HORNE was intro
duced. He was standing some thirty
steps away and saw the shooting. He
was positive that both the Hinckles fired
DR.. j. B., three shots, and DIR. A. B..
one. DR. J. B. Hinckle claims
to have fred all the shots
from two pistols, one in each hand,
in defense of his son, who DR.. Worsham
was beating with brass knUckles.
The last witness for the day proved n
small piece of dynamite. He was Master
Willis Everett, Is years old, a messenger
for the Western Union. He testified to
being only few steps away, coming to-
ward the city and met Dr. Worsham;
that both the Hinkles fired
before aay word was spoken by DIR. Wor-
sham; that at the two first shots he
jumped behind a tree and only heard the
last two. His testimony created quite a
sensation. The cross examination failed
to confuse him or cause any contradiction.
A large number of ladies were present.

ing from reliable source, is in circula-
ton here today that all the famous Harry
Hill notes which bore the alleged forged
Endorsement of Mrs. J. H. Porter have

said to be the party furnishing the

IL it is generally believed that
the money really comes from another
source. j. H. Porter is the prosecutor in
the forgery indictments. If the notes are
paid the holders have no case, and further
prosecution rests with the prosecutors on
the indictments. Hills lawyer says he is

A FIRE CHIEF ExoNERATED.
he Was Accused of wronging a Girl
and Removed From Office.

Albany, Ca, Jan. 23-Some time since,
charges, charging T. E. James, chief of
the fire department of this city, with a
certain young ladys downfall, were
made to the city council, and a petit
tion Of citizens asked that he be per
emptorially dismissed from the service
of the city. The council did not do
as requested by the petition, but ap-
pointed committee to investigate the
charges against Chief James. That com
mittee made its report last night which
was to the effect that they had failed to
secure any testimony proving Mr. James
guilty of the charge which has been pre-
ferred against him. Mr.. James was then
reelected to his position as chief of the
fire department, at the request of a num-
erously signed petition of leading citizens.
w. p. Burks, clerk of the superior court
of this county, who is a farmer besides,
brought into the city to day three s.
months-old pigs, which aggregated 1,0S1
pounds net. There is plenty of hog and
hominy in Southwest Georgia now, and
that is the programme which the farmers
of this section will pursue this year.

Mr.. Morton, the railroad magnate, was

a new route for the Peninsular railroad,
one that will not interfere with steam

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 23,-S. B. Corn, cal
endar clerk in the legislature for a num-
Der of years, was arrested here to-day
upon warrant charging him with lar
ceny, sworn out by his former employer,
W. G. Brown, manager of a large dental
supply depot. Corn, who Is a handsome
young fellow, came to Atlanta from Hia-
watha. When the legislature closed he
obtained employment at Browns dental
depot. He had taste for society, which
helped to cause his present trouble.
For long time DIR. Brown has been
missing goods. Detectives were put upon
the case, and found that Corn had sold
about $500 worth of teeth, gold filings,
etc, to various dentists throughout the
city for half the wholesale value. This
explained the losses, and Corn's
arrest today was the result
He left DR.. Browns employ
some time ago, and has recently been en-
