TRAGEDY IN LIVINGSTON
A Young Lady browns Herself in
Hodge Cave Sunday Night.

Monday morning when Mr. Col
lin Hodge went to the famous
spring known as Hodge Spring on
his farm to get water horrible
sight met his eyes. In the water
of the spriug was the body of a
young lady. On investigation the
remains we're found to be those OF
Miss Minnie Bennett, who resided
with her mother on the Cox farm
near Mr.. Hodges, and was sister
of Mr., Judson Bennett, a promi-
nent farmer of this county. The
young lady beyond doubt drowned
herself Sunday night
On Sunday night Mrs. Bennett,
the mother of the dead girl, went
to spend the night with brother
near her place and left Miss Min
ME and brother, Lee Bennett, at
home. About 8 o'clock in the eve
ming the young lady said it was
bedtime and her brother retired,
thinking she would also retired.
He slept soundly and it was late
next morning when he arose. He
saw nothing of his sister and on
going to her room found the bed
unused. Surprising her to be
somewhere about the place, he
thought nothing of the matter,
but presently found a note written
by Miss Bennett stating that she
had gone for good and they need
make no search as they would ne
YER find her. A search was made
and soon the news came of Mr..
Hodges awful discovery of the
body in the dark waters of the un-
derground creek, the news shock
ed the entire community, for Miss
Bennett was a most popular young
lady and no reason is known as to
why she committed suicide. In
her note she gave no reason for
the deed and it will doubtless ever
remain a mystery. The tragedy
cast a gloom over the entire coun-
ty and the bereaved- mother and
brother have the sympathy of all
The scene of the tragedy is
about two miles from Salem, on
the Dycusburg road. The Hodge
cave is a most interesting and pc
culiar wonder. 1t is a large, sub
terranean cavern, through which
an underground creek, deep and
dangerous, makes its way. If the
current had been strong, as it fire.
quently is after hard rain, the
body of the unfortunate lady
would have been swept under the
ground and her fate would never
have been known, but the slug
gish current was not able to carry
away the body and so it remained
in the cave and was discovered the
next morning.
A rock weighing twenty-five
pounds was securely bound in an
apron and tied around the waist
of the young lady. A vail was
tied over her head and face so that
water was prucluded from the
mouth.
The coroner's jury returned a
verdict that the unfortunate wo-
man came to her death by her own
hands.

MACRUM MAKES A STATEMENT
British Interests Looked After and
American Neglected.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE following
signed statement was given ont tonight
by Charles +. Macrum, former United
States Consul to Pretoria:
THE situation in Pretoria was such
that first as an official. l could not
remain there while my Government at
home was apparently i'll the dark as to
the exact conditions in South Africa.
Secondly, as a man and citizen of the
United States. | could not remain in Pre-
toria. sacrificing my own self-respect
and shat of the people of Pretoria, while
The Government at home continued TO
leave me in the position of a British
consul and not an American consul |
want TO say right here that there was
not one single request made of me
through the Department, Of State looking
10 the care Of British interests in Pre-
toria which ] did not fulfill and report
upon according 10 my orders. On the
other hand, American interests in South
Africa were in that condition which de-
manded that the Department of State
should be cognizant of them.
Il issued the statement received from
the State Department that Americans
must remain neutral. In the face Of this.
Americans were continually going to the
front and taking up arms in the cause
OF the Beers. | could not help but know
that many of these were citizens of the
United States. ] also knew that many
of them in utter despair at the apparent
attitude of our own Government We're
taking the oath of allegiance TO the
TranSyaal Republic When affairs had
reached that state that my Vice Consul,
Mr.. Ameringen closed up his business.

lie. and went to the front rs a burgher,
