PASTOR MURDERED
 IN CHURCH
Body Cnt up and Pat into Stoves For
 Cremation.

Port Huron, Mich., Jan. I'm the lonely little Methodist church in the southwestern part of this county, where for three years he had preached the Gospel to his flock of fifty worshippers, the Rev. John J. Carmichael of Adair met death Tuesday night after a furious battle with his as yet uniden- tified assailant.
 Not contented with murder. the slay- CT of the minister diSmembered the body and put the pieces into the two stoves Of the church to be consumed.
 Under cover of darkness the murder CT Is supposed to have driven the min aister's horse 10 Pine River, where 1t was found ehitched to a tree. In the carriage was MT. CarmichaePs over coat and some of his other belongings
 The first information that murder had been committed in the church came yesterday when Myron Brown stepped into the building to escape the cold wind. Blood covered the floor, the pews and even the altar. One window was broken and chair was smashed Red stained under-garrnents which ed to the Rev. MT. Carmichael. were torn and scattered about the structure
 When the county authorities reached the church at noon they found the door locked and all things in the cond1- tica in which Brown had left them. It was then that the partially cremdted body of the Rev. MT. Carmichael was found The stoves were bloodstained and their doors closed. Inside of each the officers discovered parts of the body. Tn one of the stoves also was found what appeared to have been new hatchet. The handle had been burned away. In the church was also found a large knife. In the opinion of the officers the minister had been stab bed to death following a battle in the church. His body, the authorities be- liave. was cut to pieces with the hatchet.
 AS far as could be learned the min ister was without an enemy. That robbery was not the cause was proved by the finding of coins in the pockets of the .charred garments and among the ashes in the stove.

RELIGIOUS WAR
 SEEMS IMMINENT
INDIAN GOVERNMENT POWER LESS TO CONTROL sITUA-
 TON NEAR TITAGHUR.
Special from United Press

Special from United Press.)
 Calcutta. Jan. T.-The situation at Titaghur which to-day is surrounded by hordes of furious Mohammedans bent on averaging the insults heaped upon them by the Hindus. has reached an acute stage and the Indian govern mant seems powerless to cope with the situation. The Mussulmen are momen- tarily pacified by official promises of justice being done the despoilers of their temple but are evidently plannin $ a great demonstration during the com ing feast of Mohuron when the ad- herents of the faith throughout India will sacrifice more cows than usual for the purpose of insulting the Hindus.
 The government main difficulty lies in it's unwillingness to antagonize the Mohamnedans. who are it's most loyal subjects. and yet unless it takes strong measures to prevent more outbreaks between the warning factions there is every possibility of a widespread relig- iOuS war.
 The police and military still guard the town against attacks of the Mo- hammedan mObS which are being rein forced every hour The authorit es are acting strictly on the defensive and trying not to incur the wrath of either side but small conflicts are of frequent occurrence.

HILL YS. BRANDEGEE
Former Still Gaining, While
 Latter is Losing Strength.

Hartford. Jan. 1.-The senatorial situation was the subject of universal discussion in political circles yesterday. The same conditions were noticeable as before-that the Brandegee men, while claiming victory, were ready to admit that Hill had made rapid pro- gross and was still getting votes, while their candidate was losing what Hill got Their claims involve a steadily shrinking majority for their candidate.
 As for the speakership, there were two opinions on that question. The current belief is that most of the Bran degee element went for MT. Banks, who came out the winner. but 1t is admitted that some of MT. Hill s strong friends stood with those and were as much satisfied with Banks as were the Brandegee people. and some Brandegee men were for Malone. A story was circulated yesterde-- and seemed to have confirmation. that 1t was agreed in advance betwoAn the Hill and the Brandegee packers of Banks that the senatorship question should be kept out of the way. Neither Banks nor Malone is known to have openly committed himself on this ques- tion during the canvass.
 Meanwhile. the work for both Hill and Brandegee continues unabated, and will continue until o'clock Tues day next. when the caucus will '" "old. The Hill men grow more confident each day and the Brandegee men, while protesting that they have votes enough have to admit that their mar gin is less each day and that they are up against a most trying situation. They are confessedly very much wor- ried and their minor echoes around the hotel Hobbies are asking how Hill comes to get such strength. There were rumors of even betting in the hotel Hobbies last night.
 (Hartford Courant.)
 We find Mr. Brandegee with record of seven years at Washington, three in the House and four in the Senate and practically nothing to show for all this except an alliance with the reactionary element with which the people of Con- necticut have no sympathy at all; and MT Hill with record of fourteen years; in the House. where he has for years been one of the influential and trust worthy members. the man from this state to whom our people gave gone when they wanted things done. and the member on especially friendly and cordial relations with the administra- ton. He is a personal friend If Mir. Taft.
 The argument for Brandegee is that he hasn't done anything in the Senate but should stay there until he does; i; and then the same people turn about and say that Hill has done so much in the House that he should stay where he is. The two theories do not travel we'll together. Mr. Brandgee has no mortgage on the Senatorship. Platt and Hawley had to fight for their re- elections every time, and won by reason of what they had done-not on any plea that they had not had time to do anything.

KING EDWARD
 VEXED AT KAISER
WOULD ABANDON VISIT TO HIS NEPHEW IF CABINET
 WOULD LET HIM.
Especial from United press1

Special from United Press)
 London, Jan. 7.-The pressure of the British cabinet is the only thing to- day that keeps King Edward from abandoning the proposed trip of him. self and the Queen to Berlin to visit his nephew, the Kaiser.
 The Kaiser's New Years speech in which the King thinks he took another fling at England. has greatly annoyed the King. In this speech the Kaiser referred favorably to an article writ ten by General Won Schlieffen in the Deutsche Revue which warned Ger many to beware of England.
 The German Foreign Office says that this article has no political significance. The kaiser's apparent approval of the article. however has so incensed the King that were it not for the fact that the abandonment of the trip would be considered by Germany as proof of the latter's charge that England is trying, to insult Germany. the forthcoming, visit would be cancelled. The visit will likely be as short and formal as possible.

Faithful Women Wait for His
Death, Standing Watch
Day and Night.
ONE Is AN ENGLISH WOMAN
BOTH ARE INTENT ON TAKING
CHARGE OF THE BODY WHEN
THE END coMEs-cAsE is A
PECULIAR ONE.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 13.-John
William Boeyse, Chestnut street
photographer, is dying in the Penn
sylvania hospital. while two women
each claiming to be his lawful wife,
stand close by keeping death watch.
The two women, one English and the
other an American, have remained
constantly at Boeyse's bedside since
his admission to the hospital last
Tuesday, suffering from a stroke OF
apoplexy. Neither had seen the 9th
er before and both are intent on TAX
ing charge of the body for burial.
Both women arrived at the hospital
within an hour after Boeyse had been
brought in by an ambulance.
The Women's Story.
This is the story the hospital auth
critics have learned from the two
women: Thirty years ago Boeyse
married the English girl in London.
She was trained nurse and he met
her at a hospital. She ownes con-
siderable property and they had a
home in London. After eight years of
married life Boeyse came to America.
He left his wife and four children
behind. He came to Philadelphia and
opened a photographers studio. Then
the second woman came into his life
and 1t is alleged he married her here.
Five children were born from the
union. Two years after he had taken
his second wife. wife number one
heard of her husbands infidelity and
obtained divorce.
He Went to London.
Four years later Boeyse left his
Philadelphia home and went to Lon
don. He obtained a reconciliation
with his first wife and they were re-
married, he remained only a few
months and then returned to Phila-
delphia. Last July when wife No. l
threatened to begin action in court,
wife No. 2, it is said, left her husband
and went to Wilmington to- reside,
taking her children with her.
When the second wife heard of
Boeyses serious illness she hurried to
Philadelphia where she found = e
English wife with whom Boeyse |
been living. Both women claim to be
able to show marriage licenses, one
for a wedding to Boeyse in London
and the other a license of marriage to
the man here in Philadelphia.
