Used Dolls to Set Fashions.

Long before women's newspapers
were started, and fashion plates in
their modern form were thought of,
women derived their knowledge of the
fashions from dolls dressed in modern
costumes, which were sent from one
country to another, more especially
from Paris, which then, as now, was
the leading center of the mode.

Dirk Knife and Hatchet Blade Found on Scene Of

ROBBERY WAS NOT MOTIVE AS

MURDERER IS UNKNOWN
Church Furniture Spattered With
Blood, Showing Hard Struggle

Tragedy in Michigan.

Detroit Mich, Jan. 6.--The dismem,
bered body of j. II. Carmichael, a
Methodist minister, was found today
partly consumed by fire in heating
stove of one Of his three churches
near Columbus, in the southwestern
part of st. Clair county.
Identification of the dead clergy
man was made by Orvile Lindsay,
who was sent to the church by Mrs.
Carmichael, who had heard that some
one had been murdered there. Clues
of the murderer and his motive were
difficult to obtain. There was ru.
NOR that strange man had left the
train at Hickey late yesterday after
noon and had been directed to the
Columbus church, and there were
other rumors indicating that Two men
were implicated In the crime.
Robbery not the Motive.
The fact that several coins were
found in the clothing of the dead man
and in the stove precluded the theory
of robbery, and at the time of his
death 1t was not known that the muir
dered minister had any enemies in the
world
Carmichael had been In Michigan
ten years, and of two years was pas
tnrof the three churches at Columbus,
Adair and China. With his wife aul
three children, he resided at Adalr.
TaaviDfy homa voctarloy manning bo
told Mrs. Carmichael he was going to
Columbus to arrange for series OF
revival meetings there
When last seen he waved his hand
affectionately to a group of children
as he drove out of the village of
Adair. and from that moment all trace
of him is lost.
Myron Brown, who lives near tho
scene of the tragedy was first to dis
cover the crime today. He sought
shelter in the church doorway from
the cold wind. He was surprised to
find the doors unlocked, and upon en-
teriDg was terrified to see the church
floor, pews and even the communion
table daubed with blood and frag.
ments of bloody clothing scattered
all around.
Fought for his Life.
Evidently the clergyman, who was
of athletic build, had made a terrific
struggle for his life. Brown returned
to his home whore he had key TO the
church He returned, locked the
doors and from the village of Hickey
notified the sheriff's office at Port
Huron
The authorities on their arrival at
the church found parts of the dismem.
bered body In the two stoves located
respectively at the front and rear,
and discovered in one of the stoves
the head Of which was apparently
new hatchet, the handle of which had
been burned off.
Dirk Found in Church.
A dirk was also found i'm the church
and it is believed the dirk served for
the murder, while the hatchet was
used to cut the body to pieces.
The minister's horse was found to-
day tied to tree in the village of
Pine River, the dead preachers over
coat being discovered in the buggy. |
Pine River is a village near Thorn
ton on the main line of the Grand |
Trunk, fully twenty miles from ths
scene of the muredr.
