MINISTER WANTED FOR
 MURDER COMMITS SUICIDE
Rev. Mir. Carmichael Leaves Letter Confess
 ing That He Killed Browning.
Alleged That His Victim, Whose Body Was Found Dismembered in Church Stove Held Him Under Hypnotic Influence Clergyman Undoubtedly In 

chael at Carthage, H., where the lat est news is that he tried to commit sui- eide at 9:30 this morning. Barely alive after cutting his throat the alleg- ed murderer of Gideon Browning, the Adair carpenter, could at the time make no statement but in his pockets the sheriff found a letter addressed td the sheriff of St. Clair, County Michi- gan, which declared his identity and asked the recipient to come and get the body.
 There is little doubt that the Meth odist minister was insane and the be- lief is that he was seeking his old home in Nebraska. The suicide took place at the house of Mrs. Miranda Hughes where he took lodging after his arrival Sunday.
 The belief of his insanity is also confirmed by the letter. In it he influence over him. The proposition is ridiculous in view of Carmichaeps 8 well known mental superiority over the carpenter. The letter further de- scribes how. he cut up the body with a hatchet and put 1t in the stove.
 The Carthage story says nothing about the suit case which Carmichael is known to have carried with him. The theory of the local police is that the bag contained the Legs of Brown ing. Search of the ashes in the Bat tie Run church stove failed to uncoveS this part of Browning's body.

ARM MUST 60
 TO SAVE LIFE
Runaway Accident Proves
 Unfortunate for Mott F. ;' Merrill.

A consultation of Physicians this morning decided that it would be nec- essary, in order to save the life of Mott E. Merrill, to amputate his left arm at the shoulder. The operation will take place at four o'clock this after noon at the Bridgeport hospital where MT. Merrill has been treated since last Thursday, when he was thrown from a carriage by runaway horse. MT. Merrill has been resident of this city about a year. He came here from Utica New York, to enter the employ of The Schwartzchild & Sulsberger Go. He was a salesman. On Thursday morning he started out on his route as usual While driving out Fairfield avenue the loss of a bolt allowed the shafts to fall on the horses heels. The horse ran and MT. Merrill was thrown out, striking with great force on his left side. His left arm was broken in several places and he received oth- CT severe injuries. The shattering of the bones in the arm cut off the circu- lation and the consultation of physi- clans decided that the life of the pa tient depended upon the removal of the injured member.
 MT. Merrill lives with his family at 296 Main street.

Keeoka, Ia., Jan. 11.-A man sup posed to be Rev. John H. Carmichael the missing Michigan preacher, at- tempted suicide by cutting his throat at the house of Mrs. Margaret Murphy at Carthage this morning. At noon four doctors were working over him. He died 45 minutes later.
 The sheriff found a letter in one of CarmichaePs pockets addressed to the sheriff at Port Huron, Mich, saying that he was Carmichael and asking the sheriff to come and get the body. There is no doubt in the minds of the authorities that this is really the miss ing preacher.
 In the letter found in Carmicha ell S pocket and signed "J. H. Carmichael, the minister stated that he killed Cid con Browning in the church at Battle Run with a hatchet and cutting up the body placed it in a stove one piece at a time. The letter states that Browning had a hypnotic influence over Carmichael.
 The latter states that Carmichael then changed his clothes and went to Chicago, where he again changed clothes and then hurried to Toledo. Chicago, Jan. 11.-Remorse for his horrible deed in the little church at Battle Run overlook John H. Carmi-

Survivors Taken From Ruins in Messina After 14 Days-Will Recover.
Especial from United Press.)

 Rome, Jan 11.-It was reported here from Messina to-day that the Ameri- can flagship Connecticut had sailed for Naples. The remainder of the fleet that went to the scene of the disaster, the Minnesota, Kansas and Vermont, have sailed for Villefranche, France. The departure of the American war ships was due to the disinclination of the Italian authorities to enter obliga- tion by allowing the American sailors and marines to land and participate further in the work of rescue and re- lief that had progressed so far as to render their services unnecessary.
 A butcher named Bensaja was rescu- ed to-day from the ruins at Messina after having been buried fourteen days without food or water. He is report ed as recovering rapidly. His rescue has determined the rescuing parties to continue their labors for several days before evacuating the city.
 A message from Catania says that the American ships to-day began dis tributing supplies on both sides of the Strait of Messina.
 The body of Mrs. OgstDn, who was the wife of the British consul at Mes

The body was taken across the strait in a launch with the intention of send ing it back to England but it was found to be in such a condition that immediate burial was necessary At tache Radcliffe read burial service. American officers and sailors and a few English mourners were the only ones at the grave.

TO SEW ALDERMEN
 IN PARTY BAG
Railroad Harbor Line to Be-
 come Republican Line if Mayor Can Have His Way.
Caucus Tomorrow Night to Force Aldermen Favora- ble to City Line Out of Their Independent Posi- tion.

An effort is to be made tomorrow night to sew up those Republican al- dermen who have independent views upon the harbor line question. A cau- GUS of the Republicans of the council has been called for 8 o'clock in order tc make the harbor line matter a party issue.
 Although the nature of the business to be discussed at the caucus is known by many an effort is being made to lg,ep things quiet and Mayor Lee " ould have nothing to say about the matter this morning.
 The mayor is bound to move the city harbor line out to the Federal line al the railroad desires and this last move on the part of the administration is taken by many to warrant the in- ference that Alderman Tague is the only Democrat whom the mayor can rely upon to aid him in giving away valuable section of the harbor. Orig inally the mayor planned to enlist enough votes from both sides of the council to have the matter appear to be nCn-partiSan. There are several of the Republican aldermen who re- ceived many votes in the last cam paign and practically owe their cleo tion to their avowed intention to sup port fthe city harbor line.
 There are some other Republicans wpo believe in a compromise line and who disapprove of both lines. But by the vote of the caucus tomorrow night to favor a discontinuance of the city line there is little doubt that AL derman Tague will carry out his an- nounced intentions to vote against the lirie, and furnish the thirteenth vote so there will be no tie for the mayor tp break in deciding the matter. A caucus of the Democratic mem lbers of the council will be held Thurs day evening for the purpose of nom mating a successor to Alderman w. E. Seelinger of the Tenth district who re- signed at the last meeting of the coun- eff. Former Alderman Brock is slat ed for the place. Nothing has been said ar1ong the Democratic aldermen about a party measure of the haroor line question as yet.
 1t is evident that the mayor wants to know where the Republicans stand be- fore the harbor committee reports up- OF the question of disseminating the line and it is expected that the report win be forthcoming at the next meet ing of the council.
 At the last meeting of the harbor it was voted to have the mayor and city attorney, acting as wait upon the officials of the railroad for the purpose of learn ing if the city agreed to change its line tc suit the railroad would the railroad give the city ample wharfage facilities at the foot of Wall street: withdraw it's s25O, 900 suit against the city; remove the Naugatuck wharf; and dredge out the mudflats which TOW lay beneath the wharf.
 Mayor Lee said this morning that although he had not been to New Ha- ven the committee was prepared to re- rort to the harbor committee as the city attorney had talked the matter over with the officials of the railroad Iii fo axxrE a

SUICIDE OR MURDER?
Coroner Doten Hears of Sus- picious Case in Greenwich that Demands Investiga- tion.

Medical Examiner Clark of Green wich phoned Coroner Doten to-day to the effect that the dead body of Joseph Razandoz of that place was found dead in bed at his boarding house with a bullet wound in his body.

No one in Greenwich claimed relationship to the dead man and it might turn out that he was the victim of foul play. The coroner notified the medical ex- amir,er that he would visit Greenwich and look into the case

TURKEY REJECTS
 AUSTRIA'S OFFER
And Makes New Demands Which Austria Cannot Agree to-War Likely to Follow.
(special from United Press }

Constantinople, Jan. 1.-The council of ministers today decided to reject Austria's offer of $1O,S0O, 900 as inden- nifty for the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Accompanying the re- jectfon was the formulation of the fol- lowing demands by Turkey: An in demfiity Of s17, 7,2SO,0O0, a voice in the future treatment of the Mohammedan residents of the ennexed provinces and the assumption by Austria of share of the Ottoman debt.
 This action by Turkey puts an end to the hope of a peaceful settlement of the differences between the Porte and Austria. The new demands by Turkey are impossible, from the Aus trian standpoint, and unless other pow CTS intervene it is expected that a dec- laration of war will be forthcoming before long. Both the Porte and the Austrian officials today are in seri- OuS mood.
