PHILADELPHIA, jan 16.-The body of s-year-
old Percy Lockyar. who is believed TO nave
been murdered on Friday night by lo-Sedt.
old Samuel Henderson. was to-day touho
In the bottom of "Reddies creek, SiNueth
and Catherine streets. and there seems
little doubt in the minds OF the police tnal
young Henderson is guilty of the crime. he
IS now locked in a cell at police headluai-
ters. The body of the child. when found'
was weighted by two heavy stones, one
about his neck and the other around MS
ankles. His skull was crushed in, ana there
was knife thrust just above the heart ana
similar wounds on his breast, SIDE anu
forehead. while on one side. Of his lace
was a long cut extending from below the
eye to the chin.
From what the police have been abie 10
learn, the crime seems to have been one
of the most horrible character, and. If all
its details are true. 1t stamps young He'll
derson as q degenerate of the worst type.
He does not seem to realize the enormny
of his crime.
Yesterday, after his arrest, he admitted
q knowledge of the knife thrust, but said
that IL was due to the child accidentaiiy
running against an open knife. Henderson
SAID he became alarmed at this ana threw
the body into the creek. To-day. when
shown the mutilated body Of the child, he
admitted that he was responsible Tor those
cuts as well, but he stin persisted that II
was an accident.
The police. however, believe 1t was a
planned murder in which the guilty one
also purposed ending the life of another
small boy, Willie Addison, aged years

trashy novels of the wild West stamp, and
has shown a desire to emulate the hero
of those tales The police assert that
Henderson accompanied Lockyar and Addi-
son to the woods, as he told yesterday. but
instead of any accident happening to either
Henderson tied both children to tree
Addison broke away and ran home. 1t was
then. it is said. that young Lockyar's death
was accomplished. DIR. Morton, the cor
oners physician. who examined the
thrust above the heart, SAID that 1t caused
the death of the little fellow.
The police searched for the body during
all of last night, and It was not until aftel
daylight this morning that 1t was found
Henderson will be given hearing to-mor
row morning.
A fact that has come out in connection
with Henderson's alleged crime Is that hi.

with killing a man named Christopher Mel

PRESIDENT DOLE ARRIVES.
Reached San Francisco From Hawaii
Last Night, but Has Not
Landed.

San Francisco. Jan. 16.-The steamship
Peru from Hong Kong and Yokohama VIA
Honolulu passed in Golden Gate to-nlsht'
and is anchored in the stream. Ihe QUAR-
antine officer has not yet inspected her, and
no one has been allowed to go aboard.
Although the night is stormy and the bay
is rough. a small boat put out at 10 p. m.
to the Peru and President Dole, OF HAWAII
was hailed from the deck. President Dole
and Mrs. Dole are anxious to get ashore
and proceed with all possible haste TO
Washington. 1t Is doubtful. however. II
they will be permitted to land to-night the
custom of the quarantine service being that
incoming vessels be not boarded between
sunset and sunrise.
For several months there has been
conflict Of authority between DR.. NJ. j.
Rosenau. surgeon in command OF the ma
tional quarantine station on Angel Island,
and Dr. W. p. Chalmers. civic quarantine
officer. The supremacy of the federal Off
GERS has been sustained. although not con-
ceded by the civic official.
At IL o'clock tonight DIR. Chalmers Is
starting in tug for the Peru. with the
idea of inspecting the steamer and or land
ing the Hawaiian president. The federal
! officials maintain, however that if Chaim-
ers succeeds in boarding the Peru. he will
be detained on board all night, until DIR.
Rosenau shall have inspected and passed
| the passengers in the morning.
| For the past fortnight there has been no
| cessation in vigilance in the Watch Whlcii
| had been constantly kept for the Peru,
| from Hong Kong and Yokahoma, via Hon
oluiu At the last mentioned port, the
| ship received accessions to its list or pas
sengers in the person of Sanford B. Dole,
| president of the island republic. and Mrs.
| Dole. So vital to the Hawaiian government
| is considered the passage or rejection OF
| annexation treaty, it was deemed essential
| that the Hawaiian chief executive should
| proceed at all possible speed to Washing
| ton and personally familiarize himself with
movements pro and con. To facilitate Mr
| Dole's landing and departure Tor WASH
! ington, Consul General Wilder of Hawaii
| and some of his subordinates, have been
! continually awaiting the Perus arrival
| during the last few days and an army OF
newspaper men has been keeping them
| company.
United States Marshal Baldwin has also
been interested in the arrival OF one OF the
| passengers, Naga Kamejiro, who Is want
| ed by the Yokohama authorities on
charge of forgery. The order was issued
at the request of the Japanese minister a,
Washington, who was advised OF the facts
to the Japanese legation stated that kam
ejiro left Yokohama with $4,000, which he
had obtained by forgery.
The United States marshal was on guart
to arrest another prospective passenger
Dr. Arthur Hurlburt, of Auckland, who /:
wanted in New Zealand on charge o.
causing the death of woman by NAL
practice. DR.. Hurlburt went from Auck
land to Honolulu on the steamer Alameda
recently and the authorities anticipated
that he would leave the islands by thu

ing 0f Sea

Macon, Ga. Jan. ia prominent law
yer of this city. W. W. Perkins. passed
through a thrilling adventure on the ocean
two days ago and arrived here this morning
in state of nervous collapse.
He went on fishing frolic with several
friends. far out to sea in small boat, and
at nightfall a terrific storm burst over
them. Mr.. Perkins was so terrified that he
threw an empty keg out of the boat, and
expecting the boat to be swamped, spent
the night clinging to the impromptu life
preserver. His sufferings were excruciat-
Ing and so chilled was he by wind and
waves and SO exhausted from the strain
that he would have been drowned had not
his clinched hands refused to release their
hold on the keg.
He was washed upon the beach toward
morning and was met by his friends, who
had given him up as dead.

made major generals of volunteers
of the United States armv-Flt
hugh Lee and Fighting Joe
Wheeler. They received their
commissions from the President
this forenoon and about noon
called ut the War Department to
Sub>cribe to the oath required of
them. General Wheeler was the
first to be sworn in. He has the
distinction of not only being the
first of the major generals to be
mustered into service, but is the
first eX-Confcdcratc soldier to he
commissioned in the military scr-
vice of the United States. After
the oath was administered they
were both congratulated on all
sides, by NorthcrnerS as we'll as
Southerners. They were modest,
yet expressed a determination to
battle for the Stars and Stripes
to the full extent of their ability
and none question their capacity
for fighting. They are now await
ing orders. 1t is most probable
that they will command Southern
troops, as they have expressed
desire in that direction, and it is
known that the Southern Volun-
teers would like to 60 to the front
under them.
Algernon Sartoris, grandson of
Generel Grant, may be placed
upon Lees staff, thus presenting
a spectacle that would not have
been thought possible quarter of
a century ago. The association of
a grandson of the leader of the
Northern forces in the civil war
with the nephew of the leader of
the Southern forces links the two
sections and wipes out the line of
distinction. President Mckinley
is roundly applauded by the
Southerners for his broad minded
policy in placing Southerners in
high positions of responsibility.
