A WOMAN COMMITS MURDER

This paper gave an account Thurs
day morning of a quarrel between
Ruby Perry and Mandy Green, color
ed, and the stabbing of the former by
the latter. The quarrel occurred in
the enclosure back of the Ocala
House Wnie Rooms. The wounded
woman ran across the street and fell
on the sidewalk in front of the Kreg-
er corner. 1t was at first thought that
her injuries were not serious, and
that she fell because she was drunk.
But after she was taken away an ex-
animation of her wounds disclosed
the fact they were mortal, and she
lived only short time after being
taken to her home.
Both women were drunk and jeal-
ousy was at the bottom of the feud
between them.
The Green woman seems to have
used the weapon with which she
stabbed her antagonist with great
dexterity, as she inflicted nearly a
dozen wounds upon her body, more
than one of which would have prov
ed fatal.
Her assailant fed as soon as she
heard that her victim was dead, but
she was found Friday morning, and
was placed in Jail, awaiting the ac-
ton of the coronors jury.
The jury was summoned by Justice
of the Peace J. w. Lyles, and was
composed of the following named
gentlemen: L. M. Raysor, e. G. Nc
Leod, Sam Christian, A. w. Wing, r.
A. Sandifer and George McGahagin.
After viewing the body, examining
the wounds and questioning several
witnesses the jury returned verdict
that the woman, Ruby Perry, died of
wounds inflicted upon her body by a
knife in the hands of Mandy Green.
The case goes before the grand jury
which meets next month.

ocALA REPRESENTATIVES,. IN
THE GLlDDEN TOUR

The following telegram was receiv-
ed by the Ocala Banner Friday morn.
ing:
Jacksonville, Sept. 15-The bridal
| chamber on the giant steamship Mo.
howk has been engaged for R. S.
Hall, the Ocala capitalist, and Uncle
Frank Harris, editor of the Ocala
Banner and the dean of the Florida
press, for the sailing of October 7th,
when the Glidden tourists will be
carried to New York.
The Mohawk is the queen of the
Clyde feet, and it goes without say
ing that the bridal chamber is some
thing of beauty. 1t is all done in
white and gold, with cute little Gu
pids and other poetic flights that are
supposed to appeal to brides and
young lovers. 1t has handsome
brass beds, luxurious couches and
other furniture gew-gaws, as we'll as
lace curtains and lace coverlets, IT,
dies, etc.
When Captain Hall heard that some
of his friends had bought machines
and were going to enter the tour, he
got to thinking. When he thinks, he
acts quickly, and it wasn't long be-
fore he had hunted up Claude Nolan,
state dealer for the Cadillac, and
bought the handsome 1912 touring
machine turned out by the Cadillac
factory. He is to have it delivered at
New York.
Then As Ocalan began to think
about a companion. He selected
Uncle Frank as sufficiently distin-
guished, and good looking to do cred
it to Qcala and extended an invita-
ton. ,seing a newspaper man, "Un-
Gle Frank" never let's a good thing
go over him-and he accepted. Mr..
Hall notified the Clyde people that
he wanted the best accommodations
the boat could provide, without re-
gard to cost. Col. F. M. Ironmonger
scratched his head minute, and then
wrote the Ocalans down for the bri-
dal chamber. That settled it.
Mr. Hall declares that the best is
hardly good enough for Ocala, and
that the town is going to make some
noise in the Glidden tour.

FERRY NOW RUNNING
TO OLD ALEXANDRIA
River Traffic Resumed This
Morning After Lapse of
Over Two Years.

Service on the ferry route between this
city and Alexandria. which has been re-
established by the Washington and Alex
andria Ferry Company. was resumed this
morning by the sidewheel ferryboat
Alexandria, brought here from New York
about ten days ago. and travel over the
route has been quite lively all day. The
steamer will make nine round trips each
week day under the following schedule:
From Alexandria, GAS. s, 9:15, and II As
am; 1915, las, 3. 4:15 and $40 pm,
and from this city. 40, $40. 10 and
II 80 am: l, c:20. $40. : and S:13 pm.
The Sunday schedule is different from
that operated on week days and is as
follows:
Leave Alexandria, s. $50 and II am. {;
1890, =, $50, ) and 80 pm.
Leave this city, S:45 1915 and 1l:45
am: LIS. PAS. 4:15, 5:45 and 1:15 pm.
The resumption of the ferry service is
said to be largely due to the chamber or
commerce of Alexandria. which engi-
neered the taking of $4,000 in bonds, is
sued by the new company, by the people
Of Alexandria.
Suspended Over Two Years.
It has been about two and half
years since the ferry service was
abandoned. when the ferryboat Lacka
wanna had one side cut off in a col
lision with one of the steamers of the
Norfolk and Washington line. Since
that time the merchants OF this city
and Alexandria have been forced to
send their teams over the road, and
the passenger traffic depended upon the
trolley line to carry 1T between the
two cities.
The resumption of the service will
be appreciated by the Alexandria peo-
pie. particularly by the merchants. who
will use the boat to transport their
teams. The rate of fare has been
placed at cents each way. and teams
are handled at proportionately low
rate.
The officers of the Washington and
Alexandria Ferry Company are ID. j.
Callahan. president; A. .. Brockett
vice president: John G. Williams, sec
rotary and treasurer, and Clarence
Norment and Levi Woodbury., directors
All the officers, except Mr.. Brockett
who is president of the Alexandra
Chamber of Commerce, are officers OF
the Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company, which has controlled
the ferry lines on the river for the
last five years
