A HORRIBLE CRIME.
women Murdered and the Honse
Fired.

Birmingham. Ala. Dec. 1s.-Reports
tell Of a horrible crime at Banks, Via
at the Myers plantation. Mrs. Ida
Myers, a wealthy widow, ana her
daughter-in-law, Mrs. r. Myers. also a
widow, conducted a store n IL was
known hat they kept "a large amount
of money in the dwelling across the
road from the store. A young man
named Cook was employed to superin-
tend the farm, and he occupied a room
In the house. Some time between mid
night and daylight Cook was
by a noise in the room of the elder Mrs.
Myers. He sprang out of bed and ran
To the door and saw Mrs. Myers strug-
Cling with two TRANCE men. He rushed
to her assistance and vas knocked
senseless with "A club. When he re-
gained consciousness he found the
house on fire and the elder Mrs. Myers
apparently dead on the floor. Drag
cling her from the fire. he went in
search OF the younger Mrs. Myers n
found her lea in her her brains
having been beaten out. He rescued
her body just in time from the flames.
He then rang the farm bell and aroused
the neighbors. who came in great num-
bers. but were too late to save the
house or any of its contents. Ii Is be-
lieved that the robbers obtained $1,000
in cash and evidently they thought
they had killed all three parties, n
fired the house to cover w their crime.
The condition OF the elder Mrs. Myers
Is critical.

RAN ON A ROCK.
An Accident to the Cincinnati While
Leaving Santiago.

LtaNtuS S8htinSo.
Santiago de Cuba. Dec. 1S.-While
the United States cruiser Cincinnati
was leaving port about sunset yesier-
day she ran full speed upon a rock,
clearly defined in n charts. but not
buoyed. Last September General Leon
ard Wood, considering that the absence
OF a buoy there might lead to some ac-
cident, anchored a small one. the first
ever placed there, but the Bessie. on
entering the harbor one night, carried
# away. and since then there has been
no buoy to mark the location of the
rock.
The Cincinnati probably is not Sc
riously damaged. as she is not making
water. For the last "a hours the COL
lier Southey and the Mayfiower have
been engaged I'm an attempt to pull her
off. Captain Chester. the cruisers
commander. insists "a the landmarks
are in the wrong places and have not
been altered in any way since The
American occupation. Pilots are not
compulsory upon the entrance Of war
ships, but the Santiago harbor is dill
cult. and a warship should invariably
take one. Hereafter a large buoy will
mark the rock upon which the Cincin-
natl struck.
1t now turns u that the man who
was shot here Friday by a Cuban after
landing fromsa schooner hailing from
Baracoa, was not as at first supposed to
be Celeste Rodriguez. the guerilla, but
a merchant from Baracoa, who had
come here to purchase supplies. h
assumption is that the crime VAS COM
mitted for the sake of robbery.
From Firmesa. a town that is virtual
ly the property of the Juragua Iron
company. comes a report that the al
calde has been attacked and stabbed
with a machete and that there has been
another stabbing ARRAY at Daiquiri.
Although these affairs are probably
mining camp rows, the authorities now
feel compelled to police those places,
hich heretofore has been unnecessary
owing to a fact that a majority of the
workmen were Spanish soldiers and un-
der military discipline.

THE REV. DR.. KERR DEPOSED.
Pastor Of q Presbyterian Church Accused
of immortality.

New York. Dec. 1S.-At the regular
monthly meeting of the P~resbytery.
held yesterday in the chapel of the
First Presbyterian church, the Rev. DR..
Joseph r.. Kerr. of the Fourth Presby-
terrain church. Who was accused of hav-
ing immoral relations with Rebecca
Booth, a member of his congregation,
was deposed from the Christian minis
try. The Rev. DIR. n. w. Conklin was
assigned to preach in the Fourth Pres
byterian church Sunday morning and
evening and to declare the pulpit va
cant. He is also to inform the congre-
cation that IL Is to select a new pastor
and until such a selection has been
made the Rev. George Alexander is to
act as moderator of the church.
The resolution deposing DR.. Kerr was
adopted only after a session lasting
four hours. Before the Presbytery met
IL was decided not to present the re-
port OF a committee from the Fourth
Presbyterian church OF what II knew
of DIR. Kerr's misconduct. The action
subsequently taken was based on a let
ter from DIR. Kerr to the Presbytery. in
which he asked to be deposed n made
what is described as IA practical con-
gession Of guilt"
After considerable discussion a reso-
luton deposing DR.. Kerr was passed by
h P~resbytery. then reconsidered and
amended. What changes were made
could not be ascertained. Before the
amended resolution was carried the
Rev. DR.. Mullaly moved that, in view
of the fact hat DR.. Kerr's letter was
not a complete confession Of guilt, judg-
ment be suspended n a committee
be appointed to wait on him. This no.
ton was lost. and then the resolution
was carried by a vote OF 80 to 4. DR..
Birch. the stated clerk. said after the
meeting Of the P~resbytery that a reso-
luton vas passed to the effect that the
judgment alone of hat body in the
Kerr case should be made public.
