ChristmaC ExerCiSeC.

q The Sunday school of st. James
M. e. church had it's Christmas Gel
ebration on Tuesday evening at the
church, and the attendance of child
rem and parents was very good con-
sidering the inclement weather.
Just large enough to make the oc-
casion really happy one.
The program of recitation and
music was eXcellently rendered and
displayed great talent among those
taking part.
The recitations of Misses Mervin
Ray, Emma Creekman, Evelyn Cart
mel and Mildred Pearce, and violin
solo by Master Warner Hamm, were
all well rendered, as was also the
motion song by class of little child
rem. The church choir assisted in
the exercises.

also lent valuable aid in the decora-

fully around the chancel and altar.

Woman Acted STRANGELY.

When the train from Miami arriv-

tor notified Sheriff Howell that
lady ticketed for Palatka was at the
depot and acting strangely. The was
well-dressed lady, carrying two
satchels and hat box. The conduc-
tor informed the sheriff that she
boarded his train at point below
Titusville and that she had ticket
to Palatka, but that every time the
train stopped she started to get off;
that once or twice she started to
leave the train while it was in mo-
ton, and that be ordered her watch
ed and brought her here because she
was ticketed for this place. The wo-
man is apparently 30 or 35 years of
age. She would not tell her name,
nor what she intended doing. To all
queries she simply replied, II know
what I'm doing" Sheriff Howell
took her before Judge Coke, but that
official could get no satisfaction. The
lady was evidently demented but
there was no evidence of dementia
other than her refusal to answer
questions. The hat box she carried
bore the name of Mrs. ]. G. Holley,

Cant. Mitchell Murdered.

Capt. ]. J. Mitchell a former citi-
zen Of Palatka and for several years
popular conductor on the Atlantic
Coast Line, was stabbed to death by
a negro whom he was trying to ar
rest at st. Petersburg Christmas
night.
Capt. Mitchell had been impressed
into the service of special policeman
for the day. AT night drunken ne,
gro was making disturbance and
defying arrest. Capt. Mitchell at
tempted it and the negro drew a
knife and cut the officers throat,
severing the wind pipe.
The negro was seized by indignant
citizens and carried to Jail, but a
crowd surrounded the prison shortly
afterwards, and some one fired a
shot through the bars and killed the
negro. ;,
The tragic death of Capt. Mitchell
is greatly deplored here where he
was long and favorably known.
