Three men in two rowboats attempted
to cross the st. Johns river at Palatka
before day Wednesday morning, and were
caught in the water hyacinths. The steam

William Caldwell was shot to death by
Sock Bradberry, at Conner Wednesday.
Before Caldwelps last breath left his body
he put three bullet holes through Brad
berry's body, out of which his life is
slowly oozing. The tragedy was the re-
suit of a prank played by Bradberry on
Caldwell. There was old trouble between
the two men. but when they found them
selves face to face in a store Wednes-
day, they were apparently friendly and ex-
changed pleasantries. Caldwell had a pis-
tol in his pocket and Bradberry carefully
and quietly removed 1t, placing it on
showcase. In a short time Caldwell MISS
ed the pistol and made inquiries about il,

ascertained that Bradberry had removed
IL from his pocket, a row ensued. Brad
berry was armed and almost instantly

At the first shot almost Caldwell went

ry was tottering toward the floor within

Two Men Arrested on suspicion of
Observation-Disclosures Notes.
Washington, Ca, Dec. 3.--Mr Partridge,
the detective who had taken in hand the
julius Hardy murder, has caused to be ar
rested two negroes, Taylor Finley and
Linton Finley, brothers. The evidence
against them was that prior to the murder
they had bought shells like those found at
the scene of the killing. and that it had
been proved that they had lied concerning
their whereabouts on that night. While
the detective did not think the present evil
dence sufficient to convict he thinks that
perhaps it may lead to conviction. The
negroes were sent to Jail at Lexington, as
the murder occurred just over the line of
Ogethorpe.
The relatives of Harry Hill here are
again exerting themselves to secure a par
don for him, and even those who were at
first opposed to it, now think that, under
the circums tances, he has been punished
enough.
Another tank car was filled at the cotton

Gloomy Outlook for Cuba Predicted
By an Havana eugar Broker.
IF Gen. Weyler succeeds IL Quelling

years-and he has madeivtry little head
way up to date" said IN Havana sugar
broker, "Cuba will be q mere cinder path
between the Gulf. o6oAksxico aRd the
ocean. 1t will be laid waste as no country
ever was before" 1t has been said that
the work OF the torch must end some
where, but the Rres continue 10 cruckle
userrily all over the island and the end
10 not yet. An inevitable result OF this
form of campaign has been the ievying
OF blxckmail by minor chiefs. A wealthy
man states that he has been notified by
the insurgents In charge Of the district
where his property Is located that 1t
would be spared Tor the consideration
or $1,000. As the buildings cost more
than $25O0OO the owner would gladly
pay the $4,000 l, he knew that he would
receive protection. He fears, however,
that il he pays, the rebel officer will be
transferred to some other section of the
island and his successor will immediately
apply the torch. Something Of that kind
recently happened In Matankas province,
where a building was burned after $500
had been paid to protect It, Another
result of the war maybe the practical

Of civil service rules. The order is the

extent is the classification Of all Govern
ment employees below the; rank Of those
subject to nomination by the President
and confirmation by the Senate and above
the grades Of laborers or workmen, with a
few exceptions. The new rules add 90
800 positions to the classified list, increas-
ing the number Of classified positions from

fed places which are excepted from exam

Report of the Methodist Com mittee
~ ION Ribility. :.

Report of the Methodist Com mittee
ION EliRibility. p
The report Of the Methodist committee
on the eligibility of women delegates was
presented to the conference at Cleveland
Thursday. The committee is agreed that
the eligibility Of women to vote in this
convention is a constitutional one and
that the general conference HAS the power
to interpret the constitution. The COM
mittee recommends the MOI fication of
the constitution, changing the qualifca-
tions of q delegate to the general confer
ence by using the words 'lay delegate
instead Of ''layman," thereby making the
admission Of women legal, and adds:
"Wez report further. that this proposed
amendment be referred to the general con-
ferences Of the following year, and that
two-thirds, vote OF the general confer
ence and tire ,-fourths vote Of the an
nual conference be required to enact this
recommendation into a law" The report
says that inasmuch as the question has
not been judic:a1ly passed upon, those
having seats on The floor can retain them
without prejudice. As soon as the re-
port was read DR.. Kynett said that
neither party, neither majority nor minor
ity, surrendered. The views were the
same, but it was concession by both
parties.

on her whether we triumph or are de-
