suddenly at mis- home in the Gull
leOka neighbOrhood last Tuesday
night at 8 O'Clock, in the 18Th year
of his age. He had been in appar-
emily excellent health, and the
sudden manner in which Wis death

his sleep by some one throwing
rocks against the house, and, after
going out to see who it was AID re-

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
4 Yonns Woman Beaten to Death In
 New York Hotel


 New York Hotel.
 New York. Aug. t7.-Emeline c. Reynolds, a young unmarried woman about g years old. was found mur- dered in the Grand hotel. at Thirty first street and Broadway, in this city, Tuesday Her death had evidently re- suited from repeated blows on the head with a piece of lead pipe. The crime had been committed some time between midnight and o'clock. but the police have not as yet been able to definitely determine whether the motive was one of robbery or other wise. though they are inclined to the former belief. After some hours of investigation, and upon statements given by the mother of the dead girl, Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy, young dentist of this city, was arrested and is being held upon suspicion of the murder. The fact that not only the murdered woman was robbed. but an other robbery was committed on the same floor, incline the police to the belief that the woman was killed in an attempt to prevent robbery.
