Nine PEOPLE Drained
AND BODIES CREMATED
Appalling Crime Is Committed
: Near Pensacola, Florida.
BROKEN SKULLS WERE FOUND
Alderman Was an Itlnerant Preacher
and Was Not Known to Have an En-
emy-Motive of Crime Is a Mystery.
Rewards Offered by State.

Pensacola, Fla, May 15.2One of the
most horrible crimes in the history of
the state, if not in the history Of the
south, was committed in Santa Rosa
county, 10 miles north of Milton, Sun
day night, when man by the name of
Ackerman, an itinerant preacher, his
wife and seven children, the oldest be-
tween Is and IA years of age. were
murdered and their bodies cremated in
the home which was fired by the as
sassins.
A fund of over $1,000 has been
raised by the citizens of Milton, which
will be offered as a reward for the ap-
prehension of the murderers, and the
governor has been appealed to to of
fer reward on behalf of the state.
The crime was discovered Monday
morning by parties with whom Acker-
man had an appointment, who found
the house a mass of ruins, and the
charred bodies of Alderman, his wife
and seven small children among the
wreckage.
Examination of the bodies by DR.. H.
G. Etherldge, disclosed the fact that
Ackerman and his wife had been hit
on the head with some blunt instru-
ment, their skulls being crushed in.
The bodies were scattered about in
different parts of the ruins.
Details indicate that the father,
mother and each of the seven children
were murdered before the building was
fired, as the skull of each was crushed.
The body of Alderman was found near
the location of the door leading from
the bedroom in which he slept, and
by his side was revolver. The body
of Mrs. Alderman, who gave birth to
child on Friday last, was found with
that of her infant child outside of the
sill at the front Of the house. The
eldest child was found near the door
leading out to the front porch. All
of the bodies were badly burned, prac-
tically only the trunks remaining. The
bodies of three boys were found prac-
tically where the bed upon which they
slept stood previous to the confagra-
ton.
When a party from Milton reached
the scene about II o'clock, the sills of
the building were still burning, which
seemed to indicate that the fire had
been started several hours after mid
night. The country near by Is sparse
ly settled, the nearest neighbor living
about one-quarter Of mile away. This
neighbor says he knew nothing of the
fire until early Monday morning, when
he saw that the building had been de-
stroyed and notified other neighbors
before trying to ascertain the damage.
The feeling throughout Santa Rosa
county Is high over the dastardly deed
and every effort is being made to ap-
prehend the guilty parties.
Alderman moved to the settlement
which was known as Allentown, from
Opp, Ala, about three years ago, and
has always been considered a good and
peaceful citizen. While he had no
regular charge, it was his custom to
preach occasionally throughout that
section of Santa Rosa county. He was
not known to have had any enemies,
and the motive for the crime is a mys1
terry. A coroner's jury is now inves-
tigating the matter.

Delay Caused by Fire.

Havana, May 15.-The Ward Liner
Vigilancia, which was reported from
Cape Lookout May IL to be on fire
reached this port from New York
Tuesday one day late. The delay in
her arrival was caused by the precau-
ton in keeping her near the shore dur

on Saturday and which, it appears, was
chiefly confined to the ships stores
in the forward part of the vessel, all
Of which was practically consumed

Reports Say SO Men Are Imprisoned.
Shenandoah, Pa, May 15.-An explo-
sion occurred at the Shenandoah col
liery of the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company, Tuesday.
Sixteen men were in the mine at the
time of the explosion. 1t is not known
If any of them were killed.
Fire Boss Samuel Powell was the
first person to be taken out of the
mine. He is SO terribly burned that
he will probably die.
Several ambulances are at the
mouth Of the shaft waiting for the
miners to be brought to the surface.
The mine is surrounded by several
hundred men and women and children.
1t is believed that between 80 and
40 men are imprisoned in the first
lift in Shenandoah city colliery.
The black damp following the explo-
sion prevents prompt rescue.
Two men are dead at the bottom of
the slope. Superintendents Boys and
Tasker and Mine Inspector Lamb are
diercting the work Of rescue.
