Kennedy, aged fifteen, tonight shot
and mortally wounded his sweetheart,
May Peck, and after trying to kill the
housekeeper of the Peck family, killed
himself.
Kennedy want to the home of the
girl, and calling her to the door,
asked why she had been keeping COM
pany with another young man. She
failed to give him satisfactory
answer and he shot her through the
breast, near the heart. She may die.
The housckeeper heard the screams
Of her young mistress, and when she
rushed to the door, Kennedy turned
the gun on her and fred, but without
effect. He ran block in the direc-
tion of the central portion of the city,
stopped, and placing the pistol against
his temple, blew his brains out. He
died three hours later.
The young lady who suffered be-
cause she did not believe in resigning
herself to one man so early in life is a
daughter Of one Of this city's most
prominent men, the head Of large
grocery business. She is but fifteen
years Of age.
The young man has been despon
dent for some time because he could
not enter the army, being too young,
and the action of his sweetheart in
partially deserting him drove him to
the rash acts.

Kidney disease is the enemy we
have most to fear as result Of the
feverish restlessness of our much
vaunted modern civilization. It is q
treacherous enemy, working out its
deadly effect under cover of the most
trifing symptoms. The first indica-
tion Of changes in the urine, frequent
headaches, digestive troubles, should
be the signal for prompt remedial
measures. Prickly Ash Bitters is a
kidney remedy of superlative merit;
it is soothing, healing and strength
ening, quickly relieves the aching or
soreness that always appears in the
advanced stages, checks the progress
of the disease and through it's excel
lent cleansing and regulating effect in
the stomach, liver aud bowels, it
brings back the strength and rIddy
glow of vigorous health. Sold 81

A LETTER FROM JAMAICA.
One of the Crew Of the Adula Wants !
"AH the Contents About the Ship"

One of the members Of the crew of the
British steamship Adula. which has been
ordered sold as a prize of war. has writ
ten unique and queer letter to Assistant
District Attorney W. R. Leaken, in which
he complains of the treatment the men
have received from the company owninsa
the vessel. 1t seems they put the matter
in the hands of a lawyer on their return
to Kingston. Jamaica, and are endeavor-
ing to recover damages.
The writer IS an Englishman. He writes
a good hand and has evidently had some
education, though a perusal of the letter
indicates some considerable lack of knowl-
edge as to English composition. 1t reads
as follows:
Kingston, q, 7, '98; q West Street.-Dear
Sir My best respects to you, hoping you
are well. We reach home safe, thank God
for it. Dear sir, they won't pay us our
wages from the time we sign on till the
time we arrive in Kingston, Jamaica, Of
which you saw the article how il is be-
ing signed. We put the case In lawer
Stern hand. I beg and beseech you sir,
as you have done before, to continue and
help us to see and know the advantage
that was taken of us aboard the ship,
all the contents about the ship and how
they treated US and send it as quickly as
possible to me and l will hand 1t over to
our lawer. We will recompense you for
your help and fatherly action to us. We
are poor or we would send for your. We
depend on you. Prove she is a blockade
runner and we knew nothing of such
according to our wages and the signing
of the article. The want to say she is
wreck. If there was not a british consu-
late we would be in the streets of Savan-
nah
We took out an Indictment against the
company for taking us away from home
under false pretenCe have our liberty con-
fined, and our lives in jeopardy. I am
sorry to inform you that some of the men
draw out, saying that they are not going
to get work from the company The boat
swain is one and others. I would send the
stamp but I don't have It, however d. v.
you will be rewarded for yours aid to us.
I beg to send the Information in full-all
how they were warned by the American
council was not TO send her back to cuba.
May God bless and keep you in all your
doings. My best wishes for you
Mr. Leaken will answer the letter, Civ
ing all the Information he has at hand,
but, as will be seen, 1t is somewhat diff
cult to get at just what the writer wants.

The COroner's Jury Says This HOmi-
eide Wns Murder.

The funeral of Harry A. Mcleod took
place yesterday at o'clock from St.
johns Church. The service was conduct
ed by Rev. Charles II. Strong, who read
the burial service in the presence of a
large number of sympathizing friends.
The circumstances under which Mr.. Nc
Leod came to his death were such as to
add to the sorrow that everybody felt who
was acquainted with him. The members
of his family received the tender sympa-
thy of a host Of friends, who visited the
home during the day to express their sym
patty and help lift the load of sorrow the
wife and little ones were called upon to
bear. In the gathering at the church
were a large number of city officials and
employees. who bore a close relation to Mr..
Mcleod during his faithful service in one
Of the most important positions OF the
health department.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. r. j.
Stewart, H. A. Ernst, a. NJ. Lucas, f.
II. Thompson, +. S. King and Horace
Rivers. on the casket were number of
beautiful floral offerings, the gift OF
friends connected with the city.
The remains were placed in the receiv-
ing vault at Laurel Grove cemetery, and
will not be inferred until later. The once
Pleasant features of Harry Mcleod VIII
then be consigned to their last resting
place. but the memory of his fidelity and
friendship will linger long in the minds
of those who knew him.
Coroner Goette held an inquest over
Harry A. McLeod's body yesterday morn
ing and after three witnesses were ex-
amined. the jury returned a verdict that
deceased came 10 his death from pistol
shot fired by John Sherlon. The jury held
1t was murder in the first degree.
The circumstances were pretty well
known. so that the jury did not care to
hear any further testimony than what
they considered for a verdict The wit
nesses examined were Cord Kracken, the
proprietor Of the store where the murder
was committed; Detective ]. j. Barrett,
who arrested Sherlon, and a saloon keep
er in Kraeken's employ. There was no
doubt as to Sherlon's firing the shot, and
neither was there any as to his having
done 1t coolly and deliberately. Sherlou's
trial has been set for Tuesday in the Su-
perior Court.

GRAND JURY TO MEET.

John SherlOn.
The grand jury of the Superior Court
will meet this afternoon for the purpose
of winding up its business for the term,
and attending to any other matters that
may come before it. There may be an
other meeting of that body before its gen
eral presentments are made to the court,
but everything is about in shape now for
the preparation of that document.
The general presentments of the grand
jury this term may be Of considerable in
terest. There is a great desire to know
just what the grand jurors Will say on
the subject of their investigation into the
affairs of the County Commissioners,
which occupied much of the time of a
special committee that was appointed for
the purpose. The present grand jury has
gone quite thoroughly into the matters
which have come before it, and an inter-
esting report will, no doubt be made.
The grand jury will also take up the
case of John Sher,on, the slayer of Harry
A Mcleod, and in all probability will find
an indictment for murder. AS announced
in the Morning News, Sherlon's trial has
been assigned for tomorrow, but whether
it will take place or not remains to be
seen.

REV. j. ID. JORDAN BACK.
Spoke of the Affections of His Con-
GregntiOn Yesterday.

gregntiOn Yesterday.
The congregation of the First Baptist
Church worshipped yesterday morning
and last night at the rooms of the Young
Mems Christian Association. The congre-
cations were large at both the services,
and the rooms were filed The demoli-
ton of the church by the recent storm
added temporal interest TO the morning
service, as it was known the pastor, Rev.
John D. Jordan, intended shaping his ser
mon upon the disaster that had befallen
the congregation.
The subject of the sermon in the morn
ing was: Beyond the Darkness There Is
Light Mr.. Jordan contrasted aft lotions
with their fruits, and showed that they
are often laden with blessings That such
is the case, he showed by enumerating
some of the benefits that may follow from
what might at first appear to be absolute
ly without compensation.
Mr.. Jordan was at Montreal when he
heard the news of the damage done his
church, and, though he had been away for
only two or three weeks of the six of
his vacation, he took the first train back
to the south, leaving Mrs Jordan who
accompanied him on his trip, at Saratoga
He says the injury wrought by the storm
will probably require between $1,000 and
$4,000 for repairs This will include a
new organ, which, it is supposed, will cost
something like So, 500. The roof will prob
ably be put back on during this week, and
the pastor expects to hold services in the
lecture room in the basement from next
Sunday week until the restoration of the
auditorium.

NEW HOUSTON STREET PAVING.
The Work to BE Begun as Soon as
Material Can he Secured.

The Work to BE Begun as Soon as
Material Can he Secured.
Commissioner of Public Works Wnllnk
is getting ready to commence paving New
Houston street, between Bull and Whita-
ker. This Is the block necessary to com
plete the circuit of the park, and for
which some Of the aldermen have been
working some time. The ordinance author
izing it passed at the last meeting of Coun-
ell without opposition.
When the material is obtained, it will
not require more than thirty days, Mr.
Wilink thinks, to complete the work. The
ordinance specifies it shall be done under
the supervision of Commissioner Willink
the same as the paving, the city did around
the city market.
1t is believed there viii be a considerable
amount of brick paving done by future ad-
minstratons There viii probably be no
more of any kind done by the present
board, as Mayor Meldrim served notice
when 1t became necessary for him to vote
on the ordinance on account of the absence
of aldermen, that he would veto any fur
Their paving ordinances, and that he would
not have voted for the one i'm question
were it for any considerable amount.
II seems the brick has gained favor with
the board and property owners, especially
those in the vicinity of the market, ex-
press themselves as highly pleased with
what has been done. The paving has a
durable surface, and is easily cleaned.
The brick used in the New Houston
street work will be the same as put down
around the market. AS soon as they can
be shipped to Savannah the work will be
commenced and pushed to an early COM
pletion. Something has been said of put
ting down gravel sidewalk south of the
park while the paving is going down. but
il has not vet been decided upon.
