waves and dried by the sun and wind,

vailing winds, usually inland. The
sand moves like snow, until it meets

MOTHER MURDERS HER HTER
Also Seriously Injures Her Son-Rr-
 ported Crime in poJ,ce

Peabody, Mass, Dec. IA horrible murder was revealed to the police to- day in a singular war. During the day Mrs, Richard Hurley, wife of garden CT, employed by Stephen Blaney of this town, murdered her twelve-year-old daughter Mary and seriously injured her seven-year- old son. he children had been terribly beaten over the head by their mother, who used a large soup plate. Mrs. Hurley was formerly an in
 mate of the Danvers insane asylum and was undoubtedly insane, when the murder was committed The woman herself reported the crime to the po- lice, going to the police station and coolly informing the officer in charge that she had murdered two of her children. This information did not surprise the officer, as once before the
 woman had called at the station and informed the officers that she had made away with two of the little ones, which an investigation proved was wrong.
 To-day the woman insisted that she had committed double murder and the policemen went to the Hurley residence. The woman gave the police the key of the house, and when the police entered
 the kitchen a fearful scene was pre-
 scented. The body of little Mary Hur-
 ley lay on the floor in a pool of blood,
 the head bearing marks of the heavy
 blows caused by some article of crock eryware. One glance was sufficient to
 show that the girl was dead and near
 the body was Mrs. Hurley's seven-year-
 old son. He, too, was lying on the floor
 and his head was covered with blood. At first the police thought he was dead, but when they examined him they saw that life was not extinct. They picked him up and laid him on couch in the house where he soon recovered con- sciousness, and although he was unable to speak he nodded his head in acqui- esance to the query: Did your mother hit Mary on the head with 8 plate?" The kitchen was then a remarkable state of disorder, showing that vic lent struggle had taken place between i the children and their insane mother. The table crockery was strewn in dis l order over the table and floor A curtain rod of a window was badly twisted and the curtain had been torn from it's place, indicating that the little boy had endeavored to reach he win dow and call assistance, but had been seized by the infuriated woman. MT Hurley says that when he left home at noon his wife manifested no sign of mental trouble, and that he is at a loss
 to account for the terrible affiiction, ex-
 cept that his wife suddenly became in-
 sane.

S4MPSON-STAFTER DISPUTE.
Shafter Not Pleased With Ite Revival
 by the Admiral.

New York, Dec. 1.-General w. H.. Shafter was to-day shown copy of Admiral Sampsons report on the op- erations of the United States fleet 3t Santiago after the destruction of the Spanish squadron in which the admiral denounced as false the suggestion, which he attributed to General Shafter, that the navy was unwilling to co-op- crate in forcing an entrance to the har- bor, and intimated that the services of the navy were not properly recognized by the commander of the land forces. General Shaftr did not conceal the fact that Admiral Simpsons criticisms an- noyed him greatly, but he declined to go into any extended reply to them. This controversy has been fought over before" he said ''The records speak for themselves. My letters and dispatches to Admiral Sampson as given in his report tell the story. l have nothing to add to them"

ANoTHER FINE BANK BUILDING
May be Erected on Church Street-Capt. Clark Considering Proposition.

Captain Edward M. Clark received yesterday an important proposition from a prominent bank concern. The banking people enquired of Mr. Clark if he would erect a bank building on the southeast corner of Church and Crown streets on the site of the build ing which he is about to demoish, pro- vided they would take lease of it for suitable term of years. MT. Clark re- piled that he had intended to erect a building for stores and offices and that such a building would be his choice in the matter. The banking people then submitted another proposition, viz, suitable rental lease of the ground at the corner for long term of years, the banking people on their part to erect a fine bank building, the first floor of which they would occupy, the upper floors to be divided into large offices suitable for brokers, mercantile agen- cies and attorneys. This proposition was received With favor by MT. Clark and at the request of the committee of gentlemen who waited upon him, he gave them the refusal of the land in question for fifteen days, during which the project will receive full and com plete consideration by the board of di- rectors interested in the proposition.
 Church street continues to develop and grow in importance. It took a long | step forward in the public eye when the late George Hoadley erected the Hoadley building, the late Massena | Clark erected the Clark building, and l the late Henry w. Benedict, father of H. H. and Frank w. Benedict, erected the Benedict building. The other inn portant new buildings on the street also add much to it's handsome appear ance. The latest handsome charge on the street is the new additional store of Ewen Mcintyre, the windows of which shed flood of brilliant light on the thoroughfare there dark winter nights, making another bright new departure for this growing thoroughfare.

IMPORT DUTY ON LEAF TOBACCO. 4 Prohibitive Measure Which Causes
 Satisfaction In Cuba.

Havana, Dec IA cable message re- ceived here yesterday by the principal tobacco and cigar exporting firm in Cuba announces on the authority of Senor Louis Marx, special commission CT of the Cuban tobacco manufacturers at Washington that the United States government will place a prohibitive im- port duty on leaf tobacco imported into the island of $5 per pound and $4.5O plus 25 per cent. on cigars. The export du- ties are to remain as heretofore $650 per hundred kilos on leaf tobacco and 35 per thousand on cigars, Although hopes had been entertained that export duties would be abolished entirely, the announcement that prohibitive duties will be placed on tobacco imported into the island has been received with jubil- ation by manufacturers and exporters, as guaranteeing the survival and de- velopment of the tobacco industry in Cuba, which otherwise would have been threatened with extinction.
