Observatory.

Telegraphic time signals will be flashed
from the United States naval observatory
to all points of the civilized world tonight
announcing the exact instant of the begin
ming of the new year. These signals will be
given under the supervision of Lieut.. Com
mander +. E. Hayden. u. S. N. in charge
of the department of chronometers and
time service at the observatory He has
arranged with foreign and domestic cable
telegraph and telephone lines for as wide
distribution of the signals as possible, but
1t is feared that the great pressure of bust
ness on the part of the cables in the far
east due to the Russo-Japanese war, may
possibly interfere with the prompt trans

Brutal and Revolving Crime.
The crime, which occurred Thursday
night. the details of which were published
in The Star yesterday. was one of the most
brutal and revolving which has ever stirred
the people of this section of Virginia. The
horrible treatment the young ladies, espe-
cially Miss Peveriil, received caused the
greatest indignation in this city when the
circumstances were learned. The fruitless
search which was conducted yesterday was
discouraging to those who fairly burned
with desire for sure and speedy execu-
ton Of justice against the man who was
guilty, and a movement was started which
resulted in the SUI rmoning of the Suffolk
detective and his bloodhound.
The youth and attractiveness Of the two
young women gave particular accent to the
baseness of the attempt and heightened
the indignation in the city and county
against the perpetrator. Both girls are
about eighteen years Of age. pretty and
vivacious They enjoyed popularity in a
large circle of young people in the cOmmu-
nifty in which they lived. Miss PeverilPs
condition Is still not reassuring, but her
ultimate recovery Is expected. She Is yet
in a distressing state of nervousness. Miss
Ebaugh. who managed to make her escape
after receiving only a slight injury, is
much better, but is also suffering from
great distress of mind.
