mitted suicide, because the girl hac
been gossipping about Woodhu'
and d young woman TO whom he
was formerly engaged.
Miss Williamson and her brother
went driving TO Southold Yesterday
evening and did not return until
about midnight. On arriving home
the brother helped his sister to
alisht and then drove around 10 the
barn. The Williamson home is d.

concealment and fired at her with
a revolver. The brother heard the
noise ofthe shooting and ran from
the barn 10 the front of the house.
only tofind his sister lying dad on
the ground.
AS soon as he had fired the fatal
shot Woodruff ran across the road
to his own home, went to his bed.
room and sent a bullet into his
brain.
Woodruff was y years old.
Woodruff often asserted that Miss
Williamson had been circulating
stories about him and his tinancee.
He hid been heard only a day or
two ago 10 denounce her in violent
terms and to utter threats against
her lie. On several occasions he
said he would shoot the woman if
she did not stop talking about him.
Williamson, when he found that
his sister was beyond help hurried
to the house OF Justice Pike and got
warrant of arrest for the murder
er, and a party proceeded to Wood
hull's house.
LAY DEAD on HIS BED.
The father knew nothing of the
tragedy, and had not heard the re
port oil the shot thatended his son s
life. lie admitted the men to the
house and all went to the son $
room, where young Woodruff was
found dead on the bed with a revol-
YER clutched IN his right hand,
In legard to the story that Miss
Williamson talked about Woodhull
and the young woman, Mr.. Atwood
station agent OF the Long Island
Railroad at Laurel. said that, so
far as he knew, the woman had not
talked more than anyone else about
the young man ; affairs, lie had
heard, however, that there had been
some bad feeling between the young
man and Miss Williamson. Miss
Williamson, he said, stood we'll in
the community,
Miss Delsle Newton, who was
engaged to Woodruff, was not sur
prlsed at the tragedy. She SAID
that the reason she had broken her
eng agement 10 marry Woodruff
was that he acted in such a pccul-
lar way at times that she became
afraid of him. Since she dismissed
him he had written strange letters
to her, which seemed TO be the cma-
nations Of 4 disordercd mind.
Miss Newton and her family say
that Woodruff blamed Miss Will
Hanson for the breaking Of the en-
raremept. Miss Newton and her
brother were great friends OF the
woman, ard it was al
Miss Williamson $ house that Wood
hui first met Miss Newton.

THE SPRAY
ARRIVES.
SIoop That Sailed Around
the World at the
Exposition.

Captain Joshua Slocum and his IA
nous sloop Spray" in which the
daring Yankee sailor cruised around
the world, are at the Pan American
Exposition. The noble sloup rides
the watersof Park Lake, and is an
object of great curiosity to all Expo
sition visitors.
The "Spray" was brought from
Brooklyn to Buffalo through the
rivers and the Erie Canal. At every
bridge and landing along the route
the skipper and his soop were given
an ovation.
Captain Slocum and the "Spray"
will be at the Exposition during the
entire season.
From boyhood Joshua Socum has
followed the sea. In his time he has
commanded some of the largest sail
ing crafts, and in them traversed all
the marine routes. He came to know
the sea like Il well thumbed book, and
to regard it as more naturally his
home than the land. Through mis-.
fortune he lost his all, but was still
as fond as ever Of ocean life. The
idea of sailing around the world came
to him, and he began at once the con.
struction of Il boat for the purpose
with his own hands. using for model
an old sloop which had apparently
passed its days Of usefulness. The
SloOp was 36 feet inches over all. 1t
feet inches wide, 1 feet > inches
deep in the hold, her burden being 0
tons net and Il! tons gross. He nam
ed this craft the Spray" Captain
Slocum sailed from Boston on April
oath, 1895, and his voyage around
the world consumed three Iyears and
two months.
