The strange mystery Of who fright
ened Mrs. Annie Saunders, manager of
j. ID. Williams q Bros branch con-
fectionery store on South Main avenue.
has been cleared up The incident
which nearly resulted in the serious ILL
ness of Mrs. Saunders occurred last
Thursday night about $50 o'clock as
she was on her way To her home on
Price street, after closing the store.
Her own account of the happening
was subsequently printed in these col
umns. She was walking up Lincoln
avenue toward Price street and had
reached an alleyway which runs i'm the
rear of ID. II. Davis property, corner
of Jackson street and Lincoln avenue.
suddenly a man stepped out, there was
flash of fire and she turned and fled.
She tainted and neighbors assisted her
to her home. whore Or. Carroll cared
for her.
The man who startled her resides al
most in the immediate vicinity and had
come through the alley to get out onto
Lincoln avenue. He arrived at the in
tersection at the same instant Mrs.
Saunders did. He was smoking a pipe
and had Just blown through the stem.
The tobacco flashed up in sparks. Mrs.
Saunders was frightened. SO was the
man. Both ran away from each other.
Yesterday explanations were made
both to Mrs. Saunders and to the police,
who were investigating. Now the Jack
the Hugger" business is all off.
Concerning the man who was sup
posed to be Drowling on North Brom-
ley avenue, between Lafayette and
jackson streets. and frightening per-
sons, some discoveries have also been
made by the police. The man himself
was spotted by Lieutenant Williams
and explanations followed. If anyone
sees him there again, no alarm need be
felt. 1t is because the fair, buxom
widow has not yet relented and he is
simply doing n Romeo act without a
| Juliet.
The cause Of the Jack the HugGer"
| stories was made known last week in
! these columns. The great mysteries
/ have now been explained herewith and
! the great fears which have excited n
! portion of our usually quiet community
! should now be laid aside.

WHEN INDIANA WAS STRUCK.
An Episode of the Sea Fight as
Told by an Officer.

FROM lHt Ne" Olk lbSN'
The battlcship Indiana disclosed n
very interesting relic of her eXper-
fence in helping demoish Admiral Ger
Veras llcet off Santiago when her hull
was exposed in view in dry dock in
the Brooklyn navy yard the other day
This was a great dent in her forward
starboard bow, almost beneath the
bridge. It's history is this:
In the thick of the fight, when shot
and shell were churning up the water
and whizzing through the air all about
the ship, and she WAS replying with
repeated broadsides from every gun
that could be brought to bear, there
suddenly came through the roar and
hurtling a swiftly increasing, super
eminent Who-O-O-O-ish and harsh
scream that seemed headed straight
for the commander and his aides on the
bridGe-for no one escOnced himself
i'm the coming tower during the spec
tacular sea fight.

an officer who was there, dropping his
shoulder and cooking his knees and
shrinking into as small a space as his
hulk allowed, i'm illustration Of what
ho meant. "i2yeryhOdy did it-instinc-

away, and lifted their right elbow as
if to ward off a blow with a club;
and there was a second or two OF aw-

seemed to still all the rest of the bat

ear.
