DEED IS SHROUDED IN MYSTERY Victim Was an Orphan and Was Thought to Have Run Away From Adopted Home.—Re mains Found in Branch. The dead body of Berta Jackson, an orphan and adopted daughter of R. S. Flowers, a dairyman, was found Mon day morning in a small stream of wa ter about a quarter of a mile from Flower's home, between Decatur and Poplar Spring, Ga.. and about six miles from Atlanta. The child had been as saulted and murdered. Berta Jackson, who was eleven years of age, had been missing since last Wednesday, and Flowers had been searching for her. Monday morning at 5 o’clock Judas H. Parker, a gatherer of ferns and wa ter cress, discovered the body. It lay itua shallow pool of water, a portion of a creek that empties into East I.ukc. Parker, having heard of the disap pearance of Berta Jackson, hurried to Flower’s place and told what he had seen. Flowers and a crowd of neigh bors went to the creea and drew the child's body fro mthe water. The au thorities at Decatur were notified and an inquest was ordered by Ordinary Ragsdale. A double crime had been committed. The child had been assaulted and mur dered. There were evidences of the girl having been beaten and choked. On one side of her throat was a cut made by a knife, hut whether before or after her death is not known. According to the evidence that came out before the coroner's jury, the girl was last seen alive at her adopted fath er's home Wednesday afternoon about 4 o’clock. She was seen by a negro field hand, a negro who was employed on the adjoining place, and by Flow ers. The negro on the adjoining lot saw her walking away from the fielu where she had been talking with the negro. The negro employed by Flowers saw her walking from tlie earn to the house. Flowers saw her go into the house. And that was the last time she was ever seen alive. The terrible crimes were committed not far from where Edward Flanagan slew his victims, and that memorable crime was recalled by many Monday when the murder of Berta Jackson was being investigated. Robert Flowers, the man w.io adopt ed the child, is a young man who at one time taught school in DeKalb county-. He later moved to Griffin and while there went to Jackson to take the child. Flowers is a man of deli cate build and seemingly of a nervous temperament. He held his lower lip between the first finger and the thumb of the right hand while talking to the coroner’s jury. The inquest was held under the su pervision of Ordinary W. M. Rags- ! dale. Dr. J. H. Green was the first wltness anre of examined. Dr. W. J. Houston, With the he assist- had j the made body a post after mortem it examination of j was carried from the branch to the house. He stated that ! it was his opinion that the girl's death was caused by several heavy blows; upon the head and by suffocation by choking. The knife wound in the right ot the neck severed the carotid artery and there had been some hemorrhage. ! Flowers on Witness Stand. R. F. Flowers, the foster father of the deceased, was called, and his story in part was as follows: “Roberta Jackson is the name we gave her upon adoption—we called her Berta. We never knew her exaet age or her parentage. She seemed to he about nine years old when we adopt ed her and we set apart as her birth day November 26th, the day of her adoption. We adopted the girl about two and a half years ago. My wife and I were living in Griffin at the time. We had a liaby boy less than six months old, tie girl but who my wife could wanted look after to adopt the baby a lit- j and be a companion to it. Judge Car michael knew oi this and through his influence the child was placed in our rare by the ordinary of Butts county. I was made her guardian. The child was at that time in the care of an old negro woman to whom she had been turned over by the county au thorities temporarily. “All that was Vnown of the child's previous history was that she was brought to Jackson from Chattanooga by a woman named Bailie Smith. Tlie latter was Bhortly afterward arrested and Jailed and when she was released the child was refused her because of her bad reputation.” SUNDAY LAW OBSOLETE.

Thirty Men In Jaws of Death Deep Down In Depths of Mother Earth. The Pittsburg Coal and Coke Com pany's plant No. 2 at Port Royal. Pa is again on fire after steady running for seven years, and over thirty men are in the mines, many of whom, it is feared, will never be heard from again. About 6 o'clock Monday morning smoke was seen to be issuing from Shaft NO. 2, which Is on the line of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad. It is thought the fire started from an explosionand thst six men were in the mine a* the time l pop the arrival of a rescue party two of these were quickly brought to the surface after being nearly overcome by after damp They could give no Information as to what had caused the fire, and told the rescue party that four other men were entombed. About 7 o'clock Superintendent Wil liam McCune, of West Nowton, gen eral superintendent of the district; Dennis Wortley, pit boss of the mine; Michael Roy, foreman of the Euclid mines, and several other bosses and with about twenty men went down Shaft No. 1. which is just opposite on the Baltimore and Ohio side of the river, and failed to return. About three ho’;rs after the rescue party had been in the mine two more explosions were heard. Meantime the crowd around the opening of the shaft had increased, the crowd including many mothers, wiws and sisters of the men en tombed. All sorts of plans were then suggest ed tor the rescue of the men. Some suggested turning the river into the mines, blit many were opposed to this idea for fear of drowning the miners. All that would be necessary to let the deluge of water loose in the mines would he t«> pull a plug, which was placed in the mines after the explosion of seven years ago, and the water would rush in the mines at a rapid rate. At 11 o’clock Monday night four men volunteered to go down shaft No. 2 and No. 3, and one man down No. 1. Gas and smoke were issuing from the mines at midnight and over two hun dred men. women and children were waiting for some news oi relatives. Doctors were called and assistance was being offered on every side. HONEYMOON ENDED IN DEATH. Newly Married Couple Commit Suicide In a Chicago Hotel. Ride by side, each with a bullet wound in the temple, the dead bodies of L. Hartman and his wife were found in their bed at the Great, Northern ho tel in Chicago Monday evening. Tlie room showed no evidence of a strug gle. but tile revolver clutched In the right hand of the husband told the story of the double tragedy. Of the pair that courted death so successfully nothing is known by the managers of the hotel, beyond the report that the man has wealthy eon nections in New York, and that the wo man, apparently, was once an actress under tlie stage name of Rose Violet. From information given by a woman who inquired for them, it is supposed that the ease is one of a runaway mar riage, with deatli as the result of de spendency over the obduracy of an tinfoigiving father. - MUCH WANTED FORGER CAUGHT, - Young Chester, With Notorious Rec ..ord, Gives Detectives Hard Fight, Melville Chester, Jr., is under arrest at Chicago on a charge of forgery.

CABINET DISCUSSES MATTER Until Our Terms Are Fully Complied With, Soldiers Will Stand Guard—A Breach of Confidence. A Washington special sa.-s: The cabinet was in session over two hourR Friday discussing the Cuban and Phil ippine situations. A communication has been received from Governor Gen eral Wood regarding the prospect for the unconditional acceptance of the Platt amendment, but its contents are not made public, it can ho stated, however, that there is a hopeful feel ing in administration circles that af ter tlie first soreness wears off the convention will see the wisdom of adopting the terms of the amendment. 3 he answer to General Wood is to lie sent and the language ol that commun ication was under discussion at the meeting. Meantime, the existing stat us in Cuba is to lie maintained. No ac tion looking to the calling of another convention is in contemplation, if the present convention should decline to accede to our terms. While no new propositions have yet been submitted, it is probable that the convention will not accept the Platt amendment outright until another proposition lias been made to this gov ernment. The administration is fully determined tbat. the Cubans must ac cept the Platt amendment, without qualification before there can lie nny change in the status of Cuba. Confidence Betrayed. During the conference between Sec retary Root and tlie Cuban commis sion some weeks ago, the secretary wrote a letter to Senator i'latt, of Connecticut, who introduced the I’latt amendment, asking for his views rela tive to intervention as mentioned in the third clause of the amendment. Senator Platt replied and his letter was furnished the commission confi dentially by the secretary of war, and it was incorporated into and made a part of the acceptance of the Platt amendment by the constitutional con vention. The letter, however, to the surprise of Washington officials, ap peared in a Havana paper and Friday was made public by the war depart ment. Cuban Naval Station Selected. The naval surveys whicli have been in progress for some time along the coast of Cuiia have disclosed the most available harbors for coaling and na val stations, in case these are estab lished in accordance with the Platt amendment. Probabzly the most im portsint points are Cape San Antonio, at the extreme western extremity of Cuba, and Cape Mays!, at the extreme eastern end. Force Radicals to Accept. A special from Havana says: The Cuban constitutional convention will hold a meeting next Monday to discuss the instructions received Thursday from Washington regarding the I’latt amendment. The fifteen delegates who voted In favor of the amendment have held several meetings, and are unani mous In thinking that the amendment must he accepted in a manner satisfac tory to the United States government; and they are determined to force the radical element to accept the amend ment under a threat of dissolving the convention ONLY ONE LEFT.

W Fitzhugh, Jr., Flret Lieutenant. Th,, P rP ’ !l ' 1(int Thursday made a 0 ™ ™ CLESA * ™ L S1QN United States Will Guarantee Bonds Of China to the Limit of Our Liability. The ambassadors from most of the European countries were in conference with Secretary Hay at Washington Thursday, mainly because it was diplo matic day, which afforded an opportun ity for discussing the state of the Chi nese negotiations. It is understood that the middle ground, or modus viv endl, as it is being referred to, con cerning the form ot paying the indem nity, Is likely to be settled by a joint and several guaranty. This will be in compliance with the American view that there should be no joint guaran ty in the sense of binding each gov ernment to securing the payment of the entire $1137,000,000. It wut be Joint, however, in the formal aspect of being executed by nil oi the powers Jointly, at the same time and with probably the same instrument. This instru ment. doubtless, will include ft pro vision by which each government is to assume no liability beyond the amount of Its own share of the Indemnity, which, in the case of the United States, is limited to $25,000,000. In answer to his inquiry, Special Commissioner Rockhlll, at Pekin, has been informed that the United States government has not. taken any steps recently looking oward the abatement of its claims for indemnity against China by one-lmlf. regardless of the action of the otner powers. WERE MEAL FOR CANNIBALS. Horribls Fate of German Exploring Party In the South Seas. The Tageblalt (Berlin) prints spe cial correspondence from New Guinea containing a full account of the massa cre of the members of the first German South Sea expedition on the cannibal island of St. Mathias. They were all kiled and eaten save Dr. Heinrotli. The Colonial Zeitung, tho official organ of the German Colonial Society, furnishes details of the massacre. It seems that the vessel which carried tlie expedition to the Island of St. Ma thias left after a few days for Herbert shoh, New Britain, to get. coal and fresh supplies. During its absence tho savages, who had hitherto appeared friendly, although known to he rabid eannllials, planned to kill and rob the diminished party. The plot was carried out. one morn ing while the members of the expedi tion, who had a body guard of forty drilled paupans, were cleaning their ri fles, which they had taken apart. Dr. Heinrotli, the only survivor, emp tied his revolver into his assailants, while the body guard ill the meantime, retired to the boats with the wounded and Dr. lleinroth, leaving twelve dead. The boat put off to an Island not far distant, where the expeditionary ves sel rescued them. Subsequently tlie survivors returned to the Island of St.. Mathias, where they found that the bodies had been devoured ami tho camp absolutely looted. GOV. SAMFORD SERIOUSLY ILL. Once More Alabama's Chief Executive Battles With Grim Reaper.
