VOV. IV.
MISS FANCHER RELEASED
She Must Appear at 1 lie Fall Term of
the Court, llotveyor.
She la Duly lGYoa. * oil! dkiI 1V»h ot Ex¬
cellent Character atul Reputation Until
She Met Junei- The Kx a in l nation Was
Held at Her Cell In Jail.
Orlando, Fla., August ft. — Miss Myra
Fancher had a preliminary heariug to¬
day for the killing of A. Cl. Jones.
Bhe slept better last night than for
two weeks past, but this morning she
was not able to have a trial in the court
house. It was held in her cell. About
fifteen persons, mostly officers and rep¬
resentatives of the press, were allowed
to be present. Dost night she made a
statement to Dr. Hicks, the county
physician, that the tlrs't time that. Joues
became unduly familiar with her he took
advantage of his superior strength, lie
afterwards said that he would kill her if
she told.
At the examination to-day the prose¬
cution introduced Dr. M. G. McDonald,
who testified that, one hall struck Jones
at the base of the skull; the brain matter
oozed out. One hit. him in the hack of
the neck; two body wounds were also
found, both necessarily fatal.
R. T. Kennedy. H. W. Weaver, (col.),
H. Jones, Isaac Morton, (col), all section
hands work ing under Jones, yesterday
testified to seeing Miss Fancher demand
an interyiow with Jones, who refused
to talk till after the train had passed
(The train had already passed.) He
called her a fool; told her to go away; he
would lot her know when he was ready
to talk. Jones then turned his back
to her. She immediately fired four
shots in rapid succession. No one saw
the first shot fired: only H. Jones saw
the man fall. All saw the last t wo shots
fired. Jones was then down. The shots
were fired at a distance of from six to
eight feet. She went aw>-y, saying:
“Now fool another young girl.” She
told the telegraph operator to telegraph
for an officer.
Hiss Fancher was then sworn. She
said; “I met Jones at Zell wood. He
made love and proposed; I accepted.
Soon after this he took advantage, fool¬
ed me. He still told mo that he inten¬
ded to marry me. I believed him. I went
to Astatula. He came to see me there.
I told him that he had ruined me ana
must marry me, or 1 would have to tell
my sister. He said he would go to Fer-
nandina and get a new section where Me
would not be know n, then come hack in
three days and we would get married.
He was gone over a week. When he
came back 1 heard that he had been
married at Lake City. A week from
the date of his marriage he came to my
brother-in-law’s house and wanted to see
me. 1 went out to talk. He only used
profane languge. My condition fright¬
ened me. 1 could not sleep. I wrote to
him that if he did’nt give me satisfac¬
tion, I would come to Z 41 wood to see
him Friday. He wrote; ‘Miss Myry, I
will give you the satisfaction.’ I stole my
brother’s pistol to defend myself, for 1
was afraid of Jones. When I got to
Zellwood, Jones met me at the car door
and asked me where I was going. I
told him I wanted to talk to him. Be
said he had nothing to say and refused
to talk; he said he was going away, I
followed him to where his men were at
work, and asked him to talk. He said
he wouldn’t. He cursed me. He told
me I was the biggest fool woman he
ever saw; saying that l had come there
to let everybody know about it. He told
me to go back and attend to my busi¬
ness and let him alone. These oaths
were the last words that he spoke that I
remember. That is all that took place
except what the others have told. I was
15 years old when he fooled me. I am
16 now. I am an orphan. My parents
died several years ago.”
Counsel argued the case this after-
noon. Judge Bryan then released the
prisoner on her own recognizance till the
fall term of court. J. D. Boggs ap¬
peared for tho state and J. M. Cheney
for the defense.
Miss Fancher left ibis evening for
Leesburg where her sister lives. She is
small, quite pretty and seems intelligent,
educated and refined. She was horn in
Wisconsin. She had previously borne
an excellent reputation.
Jones was a little wild, but most peo¬
ple speak well of him. The section
hands liked him. His age is variously
estimated at from 25 to 30 years.
Public opinion is unanimous for the
girl. On the stand Rhe was collected
and tolrl her story in a straightforward
manner. She seems to have no remorse.
The Right* ot Debtor*.
Debtors are the most abused set of un¬

debts, which lie would undoubtedly do
under favorable conditions; and it bene¬
fits no one to drive him to the wall,spoil
his reputation, and thus deprive him of
both the ability and the disposition to

people who collect or try to collect bad
debts, seem to think they have the right
to say what they please of a man be¬
cause they happen to have a hill against
him. Irresponsible in what they say
themselves, they do their best to make
appear irresponsible.
Dead-beat and debtor are not by any

Italian Murderers.
Louisvillk, Kt., August 7.— A
Courier-Journal special from Uat.letts-
tmrg, Ky., says that in Wayne county,
W. Va.. on Friday night, Mr. Brom-
field, liia wife and five children were
by a party of Italian rail¬
laborers. The Italians were em¬
on the Norfolk and Western
On Friday night about fifty of them
drunk. Going to the home of
who was reported to have
mnch money, they demanded admit¬
tance, and with rails and clubs they
began the attack. Bromfleld and his
half-grandsons made a brave defense,
but seem to have liad no arms. Their
assailants broke in the doors and win¬
dows and heat Bromtield and the boys
to death with the clubs. They then
cut their throats and stabbed them re¬
peatedly.
They then seized the wife and two
younger children and put them to
death. After searching the place for
valuables they burned the house to
the ground. It is said that enemies
of Bromfleld incited the Italians to the
murder.
LATER.
A Catlettsburg (Ky.) special says; The
rumor is current upon the streets this
morning that the sheriff's posse, in at¬
tempting to capture the Italians who
murdered the Brumfield family Friday
night, were forced to fire on the Italians,
eight of the Italians being instantly
killed.
The London Globe publishes dis¬
patches detailing the murder of Mr. and
Mrs. Brumfield and their five children
in Wayne county, West Virginia, Fri¬
day last, by a crowd of drunken Italian
laborers employed on the Norfolk and
Western railroad, and in an editorial
commenting on the crimes, says:
“This horrible outrage will assuredly
have its full effects upon the future rela¬
tions between Americans and undesira¬
ble immigrants. The swarms of Ital¬
ians who cross the Atlantic are by far
most objectionable of all immigrants
who go to America. They appear to
have lost their only visihlo merit, that of
sobriety. Self-defense, in some states
where state protection is exceedingly
elementary, becomes not.only right,
but a duty. The murderers in this case
will undoubtedly receive their deserts
from the people and it will then bo seen
if Italy will then demand a federal in¬
quiry with a view to procuring compen¬
sation. If Italy should do so, the an¬
swer that will be made to her demand
will perhaps be spoken shorter and
sharper than the one previously made
by the United States government in re¬
ply to Italy’s demand for compensation
for the families of Italians lynched at
New Orleans. That country which
cannot deal efficiently with its murder¬
ers, must not object to any sort of law
that does the work for it.”

Ogden, U., August ft.—The first elec¬
tion in Utah on national party lines
cime off to-day. There wore three tick¬
ets in the field,however, the remnant of
the liberal party, made up mostly of re¬
publicans, nominating a full ticket.
Thl Mormon vote was about equally
vi led between the democrats and tho
republicans. The former won by a
small plurality over the liberals, who
were slightly ahead of the republicans.
The liberals carried Salt Lake City hy
900 majority, electing a full legislative

BIG CROPS IN THl- NOHTrtWESf.
An Ami »t llapi.iwilrai.il Yield from the
Two Dakot-e .nd Mtnneantn.
Duluth, Minn, Augu it 7.—Reports
from the West continue to bring most
favorable reports ns to ti e hard wheat
crop. The Duluth hoard’s daily report
said there were light rains around Fargo
last night but clear and warm weather
to-day. The Van Dusi-n Harrington
company says : “All our correspondents
send us most encouraging reports. At
Lisbon, N. D., where they had a drought
last year, there is plenty of moisture, thi 1
wheat is filling out well, amt the largest
crop in years ia piouiised. Fiom all parts
of the Red river valley wo hear the same
story, as well as from the region between
the Red river valley and Devil’s Lake.”
Spencer. Moore & Co. siy : “We have
the best of reports from all over the
Northwest. We hear of the promise of
nothing hut enormous cro,>s. The grain
is late and harvesting will not. lx- general
throughout North Dakota until the 15th
or 20th of next month. The only things
that need be feared are too much rain
an early frost. Think Minnesota
and Dakota will have 110,000,000 to
115,000,000 bushels.” W. 8. Birch,
who has just returned from a trip
through the Red river valley, says al
most everywhere he went, he found
grain as high as the horses’ hacks, and
in some instances counted forty-one t.o
forty live kernels in the head. At
Grafton, on the Great Northern, and
Dawson, on the Northern Pacific, he
found the prospects wort hy of special
mention. From Crookston north there
are six inches of water in the low lands,
but in the high lands the ground was
in perfect condition. At Oavillier, a
little west of Grafton, there was a
slight frost last week, attended by
small damage, also a little rust, but no
damage can result from the rust where
the wheat is well headed out. Nearly
every other report received here is of
a similar nature, whether tiny come
from elevator companies, agents of
grain firms, farmers or crop experts.
In the extreme northern part of North
Dakota there are many fields which
will not be cut until September. It is
expected that Duluth will receive
from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 bushels
more wheat this year than ever before.
From the present outlook the difficulty
will he in getting ears to move the crop
fast enough. Prices here for Septem¬
ber and other futures are 21 cents above
Minneapolis, and that will turn the
bulk of the early movement this way.
Other things will also conspire in favor
of Duluth and against Minneapolis
this year from present indications.
Last year Minneapolis took a great
deal of wheat away from Duluth to
supply her trade with interior winter
wheat mills. This trade will be mostly
lost to her on account of the gi eat
winter wheat crop. The combination
of the Minneapolis mills will make
competition among their buyers much
less and it will have a tendency to re
luce Minneapolis prices. The crops of
Southern Minnesota and South Da¬
kota, nearer to Minneapolis than Du¬
luth, will doubtless be sufficient to
supply the mills there, and Duluth
will have nearly full control of the
market for the Red river valley region.
Duluth mills this next yeAr will need
about 6,000,000 bushels.
Topeka, Kan., August 3 —Although
cars have been generally distributed
by the railroads, but very little wheat
is flowing eastward from this State.
Alliance leaders attribute this to the
circular sent out from Washington ad¬
vising farmers to bold their grain.
Grain dealers declare this is not so,
but insist that the reason is that the
wheat is yet in stock drying, ana that,
the little that has come in is damp anil
musty and unlit for flour. In the
southern part of the State where the
yield was the greatest wheat has been
threshed, and just enough has been
sold to pay pressing debts, while the
bulk of it has been put in storehouses
to await higher prices. It appears
probable that the Washington circula
has had its effect, and farmers are
holding back their crop. They have
been told that hy doing so they will
meet the flour from the Dakotas and
then lower prices instead of raising
them, hut they declare they will take
their chances.
A MICHI GAN .SEN SATION.
Fourteen Men Mixed Up in an Old-Time
AaMMlnatton.
Alpena, Mich., August 7.—Sixteen
years ago Albert Molitor, known as the
king of Preeque Isle, this county, and
his clerk, Edward Sullivan, were myste¬
riously assassinated in Molitor’s office.
The trouble was supposed to have arisen
from the arbitrary manner in which
Molitor conducted his office as county
treasurer. At the time of the murder
Wm. Repke, a well-to-do farmer of Rog¬
ers City, was suspected of the crime, but
the evidence to convict was lacking and
he was never arrested,
On Thursday night when the story of
the shooting had almost died troiu the

Denver, Col., August 7.— A special I
from Durango to-day says; At Ball, in
tho Blue mountain*, on July 24, a terri
hie tragedy occurred, which is seldom
equalled in the history of crime. While
dancing was going on merrily, a tough I
character named Tom Roach insisted on I
dancing, lie was drunk and armed
with a six-shooter and a knife. He was
told that the sets were all filled, and
was requested not to interfere with I
sons already on the floor, hut lie declared gen-1
he would dance and took hold of a
tleman and attempted to remove him
from the floor. This was resented and I I
the parties became engaged in a scuffle. I
When Frank H. Hyde attempted to
end the disturbance, Roach turned in-1 on
him and stabbed him with the knife,
flicting dangerous wounds in several
places. Roach then left the room, but
continued to act in a disorderly manner. be-1
A cowboy named Billy McCord,
longing to the “I O.” outfit, tried to
pacify Roach hy going out and talking I
to him. This seemed vO enrage him I
more than ever, and drawing his gun, |
he killed McCord on the spot.
By this time the excitement had be-1
coroe intense, and as no one was armed, I
the people wore almost panic-stricken. I
A boy slipped away to a house near by I
and securing a Winchester, returned to I
the school-house. He t< ok aim and I
fired, but miss' d Roach and killed Mrs. I
Charles E. Walton, an estimable woman I
living in the community. By this time I
consternation had seized all and terror |
reigned supreme. I
In the excitement Roach left the place,
since which time he has not been seen. I
The entire community is searching for I
him.
HORRIBLE HYDROPHOBIA.
a o.ig- Bitten nojr stums Every Symptom
ot Rubles, I
Saginaw. Mich., August 7.—Morris
Godfrey, 17 years old, is suffering from I
hornble attacks of hydrophobia, with no
chance of recovery.
On July 4 last, while returning home
from a picnic, he was attacked by a I
strange dog, which knocked him down I
and hit him m several places, inflicting I
severe and painful wounds. I
The hoy’s wounds were dressed hy a
local physician on the following day,
he then went about his work. Several
days ago he complained of feeling un¬
well and remained at homo from his
work.
Yesterday, at the sight of a glass of
water, he was taken with spasms, and
since then lie lias gone from ono convul¬
sion to another. He snarls like a dog,
and tries to grab his attendants with his
teeth. Three or four men are required
to hold him during his frenzied exer¬
tions, and ho pitifully begs his attend¬
ants to kill him.
The physician says it is a well devel¬
oped case of hydrophobia, and there is
not one chance in a hundred of saying
his life. He is a remarkably strong boy
for his age and extreme difficulty is had
in keeping him quiet.
Hadn't Kitten In Seventeen Years.
Dr. Oergara of Villacienzo, Province
of Burgos, lias published to the world
the details of a strange case of sustenta-
tion of life without food. A married
woman, aged 48 years, residing near the
doctor, has not taken nourishment of
any kind for seventeen years, except a
little water every throe or four days.
During all that time she has not left her
bed, but lies in a state of lethargy. Her
condition is easily mistaken for
death, as she rarely moves, except when
disturbed, as by light falling on her face.
There is no question of money-making
involved, as the woman’s husband free¬
ly admits people who wish to see the
strangely afflicted woman, and the local
physicians and officials are satisfied that
there is no fraud connected with the
ase.

with the decline and some of the houses

good and their controversies appear less
serious in effect, but the companies are
poor and many of them forced to econo¬

SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
Money is close at Buffalo and Cleve¬
land ; in active demand at Chicago, Cin¬
cinnati and Dotroit; firmer at 7 to 8 per
at St. Louis; in gootl supply for le¬
business at Milwaukee; close at
Nashville and Atlanta, tight at
but easier at Savannah,
and in fair supply at Now Orleans. Bus¬
iness is reported good in the east, west
and north as a rule, hut at southern
points it is dull or only fair, though cu¬
riously improved at one or two localities
because of the injury to cotton by the
heavy rains.
The great industries show no impor¬
tant change for the week, though it
must tie said that the disiieartonment in
the woolen goods trade seems to in¬
crease, and it is admitted that the rates
are not equal to last year’s, though the
trade was dragging then. Much of the
trouble is attributed to the excessive
credits in the clothing trftdo.
Philadelphia describes the iron mar¬
ket as frightfully dull and sales to real¬
ize are made at prices considerably be¬

well supplied for the present and bar
iron is steady, though the poverty of
railroads makes the demand scanty, but
plates are irregular; buyers refrain from
taking tho rails and the lower grades of
pig iron are offered hero below quota¬
tions.

ELECT IONS IN KEN TUCKY.
Thojr Go Off Very Quietly—Democrat* po
Top All Through.
Louisville, Ky., August ft —The vot¬
ing is proceeding quietly all over Ken¬
tucky, with indications that the pro¬
posed constitution, against which a
strong fight has been made, will be rati¬
fied hy a very large majority, and that
the plurality for Brown anil other Dem¬
ocratic nominees will lie between 30,000
and 50,000. There are four tickets in the
field, and it is estimated that the third
party will poll about 20,000 votes. The
next Legislature will, of courso, be Dem¬
ocratic, with a big representation of the
farmer element.
With a quiet election Kentucky has
to-day elected a full Statu ticket, adopt¬
ed the constitution and chosen a Legis¬
lature to enforce it. The State officers
elected were; Governor, John Young
Brown, of Henderson ; Lieutenant Gov¬
ernor, M. (J. Alford, of L ixlngton ; At¬
torney-General, W, J. Hendrick, of
Flcmingshurg ; an Auditor, Treasurer,
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
register of the L ind Office and clerk of
the Court of Appeals,
All ure Democrats, and go in hy ma¬
jorities ranging from 20,000 to 40,000.
The returns are now in, however, from
only 50 out of lift counties, and tho re¬
turns are not full from these.
The new constitution has lieen carried
with a sweep and the majority for it is
placed at an estimate from 50,000 to 100,
000. It lias not lost in a single county.
The people’s party lias polled only
about 20,000 votes. These have come
mostly from tne Republican party and
from the cities. While the Alliance was
supposed to be back of the People’s par¬
ty it has d3ne very little for it on ac
count of the dissensions w hich arose laht
January.
The Alliance has devoted itself to the
Legislature and probably has practical
control of that body and so will control
the revision of the laws under the new
constitution. In only a few instances
has the Alliance put out candidates in
opposition to Democratic nominees, but
it has taken care to control the Demo¬
cratic nominations. So, while the Leg¬
islature will he nominally Democratic, it
will have strong Alliance affiliations and
tendencies. This may make its inter¬
pretation of tho anti-trust, anti-corpora¬
tion and the Railroad Commission feat¬
ures of the new constitution very nearly
wiiat the Alliance leaders desire. In
several instances where the Alliance has
made Legislative nominations it has
won. The Prohibition party had a full
ticket in the field, hut polled a very light
vote.
Drowned While liathlug.
Savannah, Ga., August ft.—L. Stoval
Henry, a young business man of Au¬

afternoon. He went in bathing at 3
o’clock with a party from Augusta who
came down with him, consisting of Win.
Goodo, Frank Robbe, Charles Blouut,
W. Southall and Thomas Sharkey. The
others came out at 4 o’clock and said
they didn’t know where Henry was, as
he could not lie found among the bathers
and had not come out, as was proved by
the fact that his clothes remained in the
dressing room.
His companions betiayoil considerable
alarm as to his disappearance, but said
they had to take tho 4:55 train for Au¬
gusta, and left at that time. Henry’s
body washed ashore at 4 o’clock this
morning on the northern end of the
beach, two miles from whe r e he was
bathing. of foul play, but
There were rumors
Coroner Dixon, after viewing the body,
decided the rumors wer%without foun¬
dation in fact, and considered no in¬
quest necessary. He considered the
drowning accidental. bathing
Two hundred people were in
at tho time of Henry’s disappearance,
and no ono saw him sink.
