BEDFORD, Ind, Feb. 1S.-This fact was
established and admitted to-day by detec-
tives working on the murder mystery: That
Sarah Catherine Schafer was killed with an
ordinary monkey-wrench and not a piece
of firebrick, as has been contended.
That James Mcdonald, now confined il
the Bloomington Jail. charged with the muir

that crushed out the young teachers life
the officers are also ready to admit. Who
the guilty man is the officers to-day appear
al a loss TO say, but seem to be Withholding
Mcdonald of any completely In the crime
Detective Reed Is authority for the state
ment that the citizens of Bedford will be
not only satisfied but astonished when the
real culprit IS apprehended: Just how soon
the man now under suspicion will be taken
into custody Detective Reed will not haz-
ard even guess.
The citizens of Bedford, while realizing
that the mystery is difficult of solution. are
nevertheless showing evidence OF discomfort
at the delay Of the officers in making prog
ress and many declare that this procrasti-
nation Is due largely to the inability OF the
official TO grasp the case, but conservative
citizens do not share this opinion. The city
officials and detectives have shown an un-
relenting spirit in their efforts TO ferret out
death. but from present indications they are
completely in the dark
Detective Reed tonight is quoted as say
ing the grand jury would not take UP the

When asked for a statement confirming Mr..
Reeds views he replied briefly that he did
not know what the grand jury would do.

PASSENGERS TERRORlED
BY GALES AND A FIRE
Hamburg Liner Pallanza Saved
from Destruction by the Herioc
Work of the Crew.
LONG AND HARD VOYAGE.

HALIFAX, ". s. Feb. 1S.-After nearly
laundering on one side of the Atlantic the
Hamburg-American liner Pallanza, which
arrived to-day from Hamburg, was serious
ly threatened by fire. which broke out
when the steamer was within i've hundred
miles of the American coast. For five
hours the crew worked with unabated en-
ergy to subdue the flames, which ragged in
the cargo. and finally conquered them by
the injection of steam into the hold. AL
though there was intense excitement
among the los passengers, there was no
panic.
The fire was discovered the morning of
the 18th while the Pallanza was laboring in
a heavy gale. Within few moments great
volumes of smoke from the burning cargo
was pouring out of the hatchway. Several
lines of hose were sent down, and great
quantities OF water was pumped into the
hold. The water apparently made but little
impression on the flames Then steam
pipes were led over TO the hatchway and
sent down, and three hours later the flames
began TO subside. When it was announced.
an hour later. that the fire was under con-
troll the passengers broke into prolonged
cheers.
Starting from Hamburg on Jan. 10, the
Pallanza's troubles began before she was
well clear of the European coast. On Jan.
70 she encountered westerly gale that
tore the guys from the snokestack and
broke the funnel at its base. So furious
was the gale that il was impossible for the
steamer to lie TO, and her head was kept
into the STERN, while the crew by hard
work, secured the funnel with tackles.
Two days later another gale was encOun-
tered. 1t ripped off the deck ladders, car
ried away several boats, and smashed a
portion of the bridge.
Captain Schaarmbon decided to put into
the Azores. and arrived at St. Michaels on
Feb 2. After making repairs and coaling
the Pallanza proceeded.
Nearly all the passengers landed here,
but few will remain and go with the ship
to Baltimore for which port she will leave
in a few days provided her hull has not
been damaged by fire.
