CHARGES INVESTIGATED.
Made Against Capt. Ran

Accusation Made Against Capt. RAN
dali Officially Inquired Into.
a investigation was held this morning
at the custom house in Georgetown to IS
certain the truth of the charges not long
since preferred against Capt E. S. Ran
dali, captain of the steamboat Samuel J.
PentZ, an excursion boat running between
Washington and River View. Tuesday
evening. tJuly IL, the Manchester carried an
excursion party of knight Templars to
Marshall Hail. On her return trip the
PentZ overlook the Manchester and passed
her as she was making landing at the Nor
folk wharf at Alexandria, the Pentz pro-
ceeding to her wharf just above. AS the
PentZ passed, it is claimed, there was
great excitement and a tendency to panic
because of the close proximity of the two
vessels, the passengers fearing collision
Captain Ross, master of the Manchester
testified that Captain Randall had handled
the PentZ in a manner worthy of seaman
and had no complaint to make, except that
on one occasion, early in the season, the
P6ntZ had run in between the Manchester
and the wharf when making a landing To
witness knowledge this slight mistake had
been the rly breach in the REGULATE tons and
laws governing steamboat navigation. On
the occasion in question Captain Randall
was forward, and did not see the excite
ment aft among the passengers. The Pentz
came up close to the Manchester, which was
SET 1Orth IN the charges.
Mr.. Thomas p. Morgan of 1893 F street
northwest was passenger on the Macales-
ter July IL, at the time the charges say the
master of the Pentz crowded and jockeyed
the Manchester. He used years ago to be
master of a tug, and knows something of
river navigation. He has been a dredging
contractor in the past.
Pcntz Forged Ahead.
He said: 1.-The Pentz was astern of the
Manchester, and my attention was attract
ed by the passengers of the Manchester
going to the starboard side of the boat on
ahead quite rapidly. l noticed a good deal
of cheering on the part of the passengers
of the PentZ, and the band was playing.
The Pentz's search light was in operation,
and the impression l had was that Tie
PentZ was trying to reach the wharf at
Alexandria ahead of the Manchester and
when they arrived abreast of the Macales-
ter's wharf, in my judgment, the Pentz
was crowding the Manchester a little too
close from the standpoint of safety, when
both boats were SO well loaded with pas
sengers. The PentZ sheared over our way
little, and went into our wharf, | think
before the Manchester got her lines out.
The Manchester waited until the PentZ had
again cleared her wharf before proceeding
on to Washington"
Mr.. Dorsey Clagett. collector of customs
at Georgetown, was of opinion that the
PentZ crowded and jockeyed the Macales-
ter, and that it was done in order that the
passengers of the PentZ could show their
eXul.ation over their victory.
The engineer of the PentZ was placed on
the stand. He swore to the ability of the
master to properly manage the steamer
and claimed he showed Judgment beyond
his years and experience,

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Two People Murdered at North
Adams, Massachusetts,.
MUTILATED REMAINS FOUND TODAY
Nav Have Been Victims of Rob-
berry or Revenge.
HOUSE WAS RANSACKED

NORTH ADAMS. Mass. August T.
Henry j. Reed. money lender, and his
sister. Blanche NJ. Reed. were found dead
in their home here today. They had. ap-
parently been murdered by burglars.
The house had evidently been entered
during the night. and the burglars dis
covered by Miss Reed, who was killed be-
fore she could make a disturbance, and
then the brother was beaten to death be-
cause he refused to disclose the hiding
place of his money. The house had been
ransacked from top to bottom. Everything
was I'm confusion. The body of Miss Reed,
battered and almost unrecognizable, lay
across the threshold of her bed room.
while III s4e room on the bed, concealed by
the covering, lay the body of Henry Reed.
gagged and also covered with blood. The
bodies were in such state that 1t was
almost impossible to determine how death
had been inflicted.
In the mans head was a wound which
looked as if it had been made by bullet,
hut from other marks it was apparent that
a heavy implement of some sort had been
used to beat the head almost to pulp A
piece of quilt had been forced into the
mans mouth as gag, and he had ap-
!arently been slain in bed.
The womans body was in much the same
condition. She may have been shot. but
that can be determined only by the medi-
cal examination. As the body lay partly
in and partly out of the room, it appears
as if she had stepped out of bed on hear
ing a noise below stairs, and was either
killed rendered unconscious by blow
before she could investigate further. The
police are inclined to believe that the mo-
tive of the crime was robbery, but it is
Thought by many that the mutilated condi-
ton of the bodies indicates a desire for
revenge on the part of the murderers.
Mr.. Reed was we'll known in this vicinity
and was highly respected. He was about
forty-five years of age. His sister was

Somehow or other, he hardly knew

there always is duty for us poor human

William West from desperately going
back to see Amy, to explain. For he
was guilty of the impulse of "explana-
tion," the babble with which the weak
mind is forever annotating it's remarks
or it's opinions.
Well the day passed. In spite of a
craving to see Amy that was almost
agonizing, he held on to his common
sense, and left her to herself. His law
yer came in in the evening, bringing
some papers in regard to certain prop
erty which it was the minister's inten-
tion to make over to his wife, and the
looking these over. and the business
talk, was a relief to him. He began to
feel that he had taken Amy's perturba-
tion much too seriously; it would be all
right; she would see things clearly
when the first dismay had passed. He
thought, tenderly, that he must not let
her feel any regret for having for a mo-
ment shown him her pain at what he
had told her. Her pain was only part
of her exquisite goodness, that goou-
ness which held her, remote and lovely,
like some pure and luminous star, so
far above the sordid meanness and
wickedness of common life that she
could not understand them perhaps
