as one servant, a Japanese, were at
tended by a physician and soon recov¬
ered. The admiral was not seriously
affected.
Some time after the family had re¬
tired the furnace in the basement
began exuding gas. Almost every
room in the house soon filled with the
fumes. The admiral was awakened
by a choking sensation. Hastily
flinging open the windows, he carried
nig wife and son out of their rooms
to the fresh air.

in killings on both sides. The gov¬
ernor of Astrabad, with a large body
of troops, intervened and refused an
indemnity offered by the Turcoman

feated and retired to Astrabad.

WHO SHE WAS.
Identity of Murdered Girl Found at
Lithonia Known.
Conyers, Ua., Dec. 15.—Investiga¬
tions by the coroner's Jury here have
disclosed the fact that the young wo¬
man whose nude and partially decom¬
posed corpse was found near Lithonia
was Ada Cay, who has recently lived
at Porterdale factory near Covington.
The girl was from South Carolina,
where several brothers and sisters are
said to be living now, her parents
being dead. She came to Porterdale
about three weeks before she disap¬
peared.
When last seen she was leaving Por¬
terdale for AJmon, where, it is said, in
company with a man, she boarded a
westbound Georgia train.
The identity of the man supposed to
b? her murderer is known to the offi¬
cers and they are now on his trail.
CRIME LAiD TO HARPER.
Factory Operative Charged with Mur¬
der of Ada Cay.
Covington, Ga., Dec. 17.—Charged
with the murder of Ada Cay, the young
woman whose half-decomposed body
was found in a creek near Lithonia
last Sunday, Bob Harper was arrest¬
ed at his home at Porterdale Monday
evening by Sheriff Sam Hay and im¬
mediately carried to Conyers to be
held for further investigation.
Harper is a middle-aged man and has
a wife and eight children. For the
past several years he has been a la¬
borer in the cotton factory at Porter¬
dale.
The description of the dead woman
tallies precisely with the .description
of a woman with whom he has been
seen several times, and it is strongly
believed that he is the perpetrator of
the crime.
Thousands Thrown Out of Work.
New York, Dec. 17.—Nearly 4,000
persons will be idle in the Haledon
district of Paterson, N. J., for several
days as a re::ult of the bursting of a
small dam which let loose the waters
of Hoppers pond and flooded an area
of 30 acres occupied by several facto
ries. The loss will amount to sever¬
al thousand dollars.
To improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion, try a few doses
of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver
Tablets. Mr. J. H. Seitz, of Detroit,
Mich., says, “They restored my appe¬
tite when impaired, relieved me of a
bloated feeling and caused a pleasant
and satisfactory movement of the
bowels.” There are people in this com¬
munity who need jnst such a medicine.
