MccANN's MURDERoUs MANIA
Set Fire to His House in Which Lay
His Helpless Wife

Bridgeport, Conn. Dec. 20-This
city was the scene yesterday of one
II the most dastardly crimes that has
ever been committed in the vicinity
and the actions of the principal char
acter in the affair are of such a ma
ture as to lead To the superstition that
his mind must be seriously unbalanc-
ed.
At an early hour Thomas Mccain
deliberately set fire to his residence
knowing at the time that his unfortu
nate wife lay bedridden with sickness
in the house and the lady at the pres
ent time owes her life TO the presence
of mind and bravery of their daughter.
who rushed through the fire and smoke
to the rescue of her mother, and finally
succeeded in carrying her to a place
of safety. Both women were slightly
burned and nearly suffocated with the
smoke.
Later in the day Mccain gave him.
self up to the police authorities and
in answer to questions as to what in
duced him to commit such crime.
stated that the house was his and that
he had right to burn il If he wanted
to. He further added that his family
had refused to leave the house. so he
had struck upon the plan of burning
them out.

APOLOGY FROM THE ELEVATOR
But Said Apology Seems to Have a
String Tied to IL

The Ocala Evening Star, in its Fri
day last edition takes the Elevator TO
task for making the statement that
the banks Of that city charged 3 per
cent on money Withdrawn by deposit
tors during the late panic. Our infor-
nation was derived from one who is
reliable. but owing TO the fact that
our informant is not TO be reached
Immediately. We will. on the state
ment Of the Star, retract that para
graph. promising. however. 10 see our
man and discover from what source
his story originated. This matter be-
ing settled for the time being, we rise
TO remark that il is strange that the
Star should have confined itself to the
one paragraph and not given Alachua
county and Gainesville the credit for
the wonderful reduction Of its school
Indebtedness during the period of pro-
hibition. Evidently the rest of the
hot stuff" prohibition copy" as to
the absolutely false statement pub
lished" by parties interested in anti
prohibition calculated TO do Gaines
vile a great deal of harm" could not
be refuted and therefore with the ex-
ception Of the 3 per cent matter,
stands. For this, as we said, we apol-
ogiZe for the time and will investigate
Gainesville Elevator.
1t would probably be interesting to
an insanity expert TO discover by what
process of reasoning, or unreasoning,
the Elevator has come to the conclu-
sion that the Star should praise Alach-
VA county because the Elevator has
published an untrue story about the
Ocala banks. The Star has not denied
the prosperity Of Alachua county nor
made any disparaging remarks about
the status of its school fund as com
pared with that of Marion. The Ele-
vator man had in future best make his
Investigations before making his
statements; then he will not need to
make half-hearted apologies.

PERIL FROM A PANTHER
Two Unarmed Boys Beat Of an Attack
from a Ravsnous Wild Beast

Lebanon. Ohio. Dec.20.-A wild
panther attacked Lewis and Morrow
whiteacre on a lonely road near Roch-
erter last night. The horse they were
driving was killed, and the boys mar

brothers were mapping in the buggy at
the time, giving the horse the reins.
A hideous howl and the sudden stop
ping of the conveyance brought the
young men 10 their feet, and they saw
the animal attacking the horse.
Armed only with a buggy whip and
rain curtain they beat what proved TO
be a panther from the horse. but risk
ed their own lives in doing so. The
animal was not killed but badly in
jured. and went bowling into the woods
nearby. The horse lived only a few
moments. its throat being torn open

HUGHES ISN'T HUNGRY
For Office, and Will Not Turn His
Hand Over TO influence Delegates

Albany, Dec. 20.-Gov Hughes makes
public his correspondence with Sena-
tor Martin SAKE, regarding possible
action by the New York republican
committee in endorsing the governor
for the presidential nomination. II
follows:
Dear GOV. Hughes: 1T is my pur-
pose. at the next meeting of the re-
publican county committee. 20 offer a
resolution TO the effect that il is the
belief Of the committee that the repub-
lican voters generally throughout the
county OF New York desire your name
presented for president at the national
convention. In doing so l am only at
tempting TO give formal expression
10 the sentiment thar exists here. 50
that the republican party throughout
the state may have official notice Of
it. However, as | do not wish to pur-
sue any course which may be distaste-
full to you personally or embarras-
sing to the plans of those who are in
your confidence. l will appreciate some
expression from you which will guide
me in the circums stances.
Cordially yours, Martin SAKE"
Under date Of Dec Is, the governor
answered:
My Dear Senator: Your letter of
the 18th has been received. | do not
think il proper for me TO make any
suggestion as 10 what the county COM
mittee should do or should not do l
stated my attitude in my speech be-
fore the Republican Club. and by that
| stand. 1t is of the highest impOr-
tance that the work of the administra-
ton should be disinterested and |
shall do nothing to influence the selec-
ton or vote of delegates. l assume
that the party representatives will
take such action. whatever it may be,
as they believe TO be best They have
their duty and I have mine. I think
my position is clearly understood.
Very truly yours,

leader Of the minority. and David A.
DeArmond, of Missouri, leader of the
minority opposition, eliminated in a
fist fight yesterday evening on the floor
of the House of Representatives
The blows of Representative Dear
mOnd caused blood 10 flow down the
face Of Representative Williams. and
only the fOrcible Intervention of friends
cut the combat short. Mr.. DeArmond
bore away bruised nose
The immediate cause of the fight
was the passing Of the lie by Mr.. De-
Almond to Mr.. Williams. as a result
Of a complaint by the former that the
minority leader had broken faith in
"burying' Representative Bother. OF
Missouri. by recommending his assign
ment by Speaker Cannon TO the COM
mittee on coinage, weights and meas
ures.
Mr. Williams defended his action by
declaring that he had been told by Mr..
Boother's colleague, Representative
Lloyd, of Missouri, that the committee
assignments would be satisfactory to
Boother. Mr.. DeArmond bluntly ques-
toned the truth of the statements and
after the failure OF an effort on his
part to transfer the scene of immed-
late battle Mr. Williams struck Mr..
DeArmond in the face with closed
fist. DeArmond came back and the
friends separated the cOmbatants.
