MURDER STILL
DEEP MYSTERY

BEcAUCUs. May IA. Mrs. Min
ME Mack, the wife of Frederick Mack,
was brutally murdered yesterday as she
slept.
The motive for the crime is unknown.
Detectives admitted that they were
working in circles.
The husband of the woman, according
to the story he told the authorities,
saw his wife alive for the last time
when he babe her good night as he left
the farm about l o'clock in the morn
ing to lake a wagon load of garden
truck to market in New York. She
was in bed. he said. when he went
away.
In an adjoining bedroom the farmer
left his v~.fe's cousin, Miss Minnie
Kiefns. III young woman had been
visiting the Macks since last Friday
evening. Her home is at Bengal, Dutch
ess County, N. Y.
About 3 o'clock Miss Kierns awoke
with a splitting headache as she ex-
planned 1t later. She was surprised that
Mrs. Mack was not up and called her
cousin several times In vain. Getting
out of bed, Miss Kierns stumbled over
her suitcase, which was lying opened at
the foot of the bed. At the head of the
bed, on the floor, stood a heavy. old
fashioned lamp. Several drawers in the
bureau In the room were open and cloth
ing was ,strewn on the floor.
She ran to Mrs. Mack's bedroom in
alarm. She found it In disorder. On the
bed, as though she were sleeping, the
girl found her cousin. Around her neck,
tied with four knots. was a corset cover.
Across her face was placed a towel. Her
mouth and nose were bleeding.
The terrified girl ran to the home OF
Ferdinand Luhrmann. Mrs. Mack's uncle,
and told him of her discovery. Luhr-
mann ran to the home of George Lau-
seeker, about a hundred feet distant
from the Mack house. From there the
countryside was notified by telephone.
The Kierns girl, after an examination
Of her effects, discovered that her gold
watch and 81 were missing. When the
husband of the dead woman arrived home
in response to a telephone message he
discovered that the murderers had taken
his wife's gold watch and chain, two
bracelets and two white willow plumes
she had recently purchased for a hat.

MAN KILLS HIMSELF.
A. !. Clark's Body Discovered Beside
WRe's GraVe-NO Cause known
For Act.

Lancaster, December 5.-A. J. Clark,
one of Lancasters most prominent
and influential citienzs, who recently
resigned the position of manager OF
the Lancaster News, committed s'li-
eide early this morning, between 6
and 7 o'clock, in the Presbyterian GEM
etery, at this place, using as an in
strument of death, a 32-calibre pistol,
with which he shot himself through
the neck, the ball entering from the
left side and lodging in the base Of the
brain. From the nature of the wound
inflicted, the physicians, who examin-
ed the body, say that death must nee
essarily have been instantaneous.
Motive Unknown.
No probable motive is yet assigned
for Mr.. Clark's rash act, which has
caused universal sorrow and regret in
this community, where the deceased
has lived and worked the best of his
life, enjoying the confidence and es-
TEEN of all with whom he came in coll
tact.
The body was found at o'clock to-
day, by parties walking through the
cemetery, under large oak tree, near
the grave of his wife. who died here
some eighteen years ago. The discov-
cry was at once reported to the mem
bers of the family and the searching
party, which, on account of his con-
tinued absence from home since dawn
this morning, had been looking every
where for him. His body was found
in reclining posture He was par
tally dressed, and held in his right
hand the pistol with which he put an
end to his life.
