WOMAN RRUTALLY MURDERED.
Found with Head Almost Severed NeaI
jacksonville, Fla.


Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. S.--With he:
head almost severed from the neck
her skull crushed In at the back her
right arm broken, and other marks
of injury, the body Of Annie Sohuman
a white woman, was found yesterday
morning partially submerged in the
water In Three-Mile brarhh at the
place where it crosses what is known
as the Plank road, near Jacksonville
brick yard, in the western part Of the
city.
Indications about the spot whore the
body was found showed that the foul
est kind of a murder had been com
mitted, and upon investigation being
made by the authorities details were
brought out which point to one Of the
most horrible crimes that has ever Oc
Cured In this county. That the wo
mans death was the result of a bru
tai assault was plainly demonstrated
There was evidence found showing
that the woman had been pursued
felled with a brlckbat, and afterward
had her throat cut. A terrible strug
gle must have taken place, as blood
was found on the ground in several
different places. and In spite Of the
rain which has fallen since Saturday
night a week ago, when the murder
is supposed to have occurred. there
were marks in the sand near the bank
of the stream and on the sward, whlol
showed that the victim made a vigor
Gus resistance.
The deceased had been living IN
Jacksonville most of her life, though
she was a native of Bryan county, Ga
She was 20 years old. There is no
clew to the murderer

DEADLY ARSENIC SPRINGS.

over Four Hundred Poisoned by
Drinking the Water.
San Antonio, Tex, Sept 8.-Relia
BILE information has reached here OF
trouble and destruction of life at Ma
pini, Mexico, by the breaking forth oi
arsenic springs in the mountains neat
the city. The waters of the springs
have united with those of the springs
which supply the city with drinking
water and the distributing reservoir
is thoroughly impregnated with arsen
ic.
AS a result, 30 are dead and over
400 are seriously i'll. Those nearest
the reservoir seemed to get the full
benefit of the deadly poison and lived
only a short time. This is the first
information officially received of the
matter, and it was some time before
the correct source of the poison was
ascertained. By that time, hundreds
were i'll all over the city, as If th5
place was stricken by plague, and
physicians wers wired for from all thl
surrounding mining camps and towns.
Even when the source Of poisoning
was discovered, some time was requr'
ed to ascertain the exact cause, such
thing as natural spring srs.Iic was
never dreamed Of before. The citi
zens are now suffering for want Of
water.

Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated float
ing saw mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences ! employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic and I determined to give the
medicine trial. procured IT. and those who
were sick were put on this treatment, and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty and from that time
on l used nothing else but Johnsons Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,

LIVE STOCK MARKET

MARCEL 5 CENTS HIGHER
Sellers and Buyers Not of the
Same Opinion.

There was fair run Of hogs yesterday
The market was a good strong ) cents
higher. but trading was slow and num-
Der OF carloads were held over. The com
mission men claimed that the buyers were
81 cents under Kansas City. and the buy
ers claimed that while the market had
declined considerably at Kansas iCty, the
prices here were maintained at very near
" the highest point. one carload Of
good heavy hogs were not sold Cu6a-
hys buyer bought under protest, while
Armour's held or entirely. claiming that
sellers were asking within five cents Of
Kansas City prices. The dispatches as
posted quoted the top price for heavy
hogs at $40. and the same for mixed
packers This the buyers claimed was
erroneous on its face. II viii be seen that
the Eagles dispatches quote mixed ten
cents lower. There is nearly always trou-
Die on the market when Il goes down but
everything is lovely when il goes up. The
commission men Of course cannot be
blamed for trying to get every cent their
customers hogs are worth. and the buy
ers want 70 pay what they are worth,
but yesterday there was no umpire to
decide this point; and hence trade
dragged. The top price yesterday was
SO-sS for a carload OF good mixed packers.
