A disp
Coroner J. W. Hollinan received no
tice Wednesday at 2 o’clock to go to
Seneca to investigate a double trag
edy. which occurred at Seneca, eight
miles front there, shirtiy before 2
o’clock.
The tragedy was one if the most
harrowing Oconee has witnessed In
yearn. J. P. Htnckle shot and mortal
ly wounded Mm. Emma L. Anderson,
proprietress of the Anderson board
ing house while they were in a con
versation In the dining room of Mrs
Anderson’s home, and as soon as he
had commuted the awful deed, Hinck-
le turned the weapon upon himself,
firing polat blank under his chin, the
hall rangiag upward and Into the
brain. Within a few minutes he had
expired before having spoken to any
one.
Mrs. Anderson lingered until

Aeronaut Palls Five Hundred Feet
to His Death.
At Watervllle, Maine, in full view
of 25,000 horrified spectators, assem
bled on the Central Fair ground late
Tuesday, Charles Oliver Jones ’ of
Hammondports. N. Y., aeronaut, fell
a distance of 500 feet to his death.
Among the witnesses of the fright
ful plunge were Mrs. Jones and they
were almost the first to reach the side
of the dying man. Jones died an
hour and a half after the accidet.
Jones had been at the fair grounds
with his dirigible balloon. "Boomer
ang. known as a Strobe! airship,
since Monday. He arranged a flight
between 3 and 4 o’clock but such a
high wind prevailed that a delay was
necessary. At 4:30 conditions had
modified and he gave the word to
have the machine released.
When the aeronaut reached a
height of more than 500 feet the
spectators were amazed to see small
tongues of flame issuing from under
the gas bag in front of the motor.
At this time the balloon had passed
out of the fair grounds. Many per
sons in the great crowd endeavored
to apprise Joes of his danger, but
several minutes elapsed before he no
ticed the fire. Then he grasped the
rip cord and by letting out gas en
deavored to reach the earth. The
nftchlne had descended but a short
distance when a sudden hurst of
flame enveloped the gas bag and the
frame work immediately separating
from the hag.
Joues fell with the frame of his mo
tor and when the spectators reached
him hfe was lying under It: the gas
bag was completely destroyed. The
physicians who were in the crowd
found that Jones had no chance to
survive as he was injured internally
and his spine was broken.
Jones had trouble with his balloon
the day before on account of the
cold weather which caused a number
of leaks, through the contraction of
*he gas bag. It Is thought that the
bag leaked again and that a spark
from the motor caused the disaster,

Not Seen Since Last Wednesday and
on Thursday Nothing Bnt Top of
Cabin Could be Seen.
With the subsiding of the" floods
come continued-stories of destruc
tion of property and loss of Hfe. Mr.
William Lyk4s of Lykeslaud Monday
afternoon telephoned The State of
a pitiful case.
It appears that a negro, Addison
Fuller, and his family occupied a
cabin which since has bfeen covered
to the eves in the flood. The family
consisted of a wife and five children,
one Just four days old. They had »
boat with which to make their es
cape, but neither l>oat nor negroes
have been seen. It is feared that he
and his entire family were drowned.
Coroner Walker has been notified and
will make investigation at once.
Thursday afternoon the house was
approached in a boat_by Lawrence
Erwin, and even then the water cov
ered the body of the cabin. The cur
rent there being so swift the boat
man did not go very close, as he at
hat time thought the negroes had
abandoned the house. But as noth
ing has been heard from'them, it is
feared that the whole family has per
ished.
It would have been almost suicidal
to have attempted to cross the river
to the Lexington side and there were
fearfully swift currents on the Rich
land side. Even had Addison Fuller
attempted to come back on the Rich
land aide it is more than likely that
he would have been swamped- and
had he stayed. It is sure that they per
ished. for there was no signs of Hfe
shout the house. The boatman who
approached did not go near enough
to see whether the l>oat had been
taken from the house. The house is
yet surrounded by water and a party
will go there in boats to Inspect the
nr^mlses. Mr Lykes states that the
place Is about 12 miles from him and
he would have reported It sooner but
'y hurt and three seriously injured

when an electric car on the Illinois

The serloubTyNnjured are: Mr

The crash occurred at a point wher
the road crosses the electric line
vtKHit six miles from Ottawa. The
-oad was not well lighted and near
'he crossing there is a sharp curve
whieb prevented Mr. Snell, who was
driving from seeing the approach of a
lar. The carriage was directly in

'wming at top speed, crashed into it.

the seventh and eighth ribs and com
tng out at the backwashing through
her body close to the heart. Mrs.
Anderson ran from the room and was
caught by some one as she fell mor
tally wounded.
It Is stated that the first shot fired
was aimed at Mrs. Anderson’s daugh
ter, two of her children being in the
room with her when she and Hinckle
entered the room. Hinckle engaged
Mrs. Anderson in a conversation
under the pretext of wiahing to pay
his board bill. It Is understood That
he had been a persistent suitor foi
Mrs. Anderson's affections for some
time and that day’s tragedy was the
culmination of her refusal to marry
him. Several notes were left by him
and are in the possession of Coronei
Holiman. but their cintents have not
been made public.
For a number of years Hinckle was
piliceman at‘ Seneck and was well
thought of. For some time he and
Mrs. Anderson had been quite inti
mate. She was a wiman of beauty It
face and figure ‘»nd had many ad
mire^. Jealousy and Mra. Ander
son's persistent refusal of him are
generally thought to be the two prime
factors that led to the murder and
suicide.

At Yemassee Moody was identlfi
ed by several Yemassee negroes who
had recognized the pair at work.
When Mr. Godbold saw the negro,
he recogized him and advised hi nr
to tell the truth. This brought
forth a full confession, and also In
structions as to how to capture the
other negro.
A description of the two negroes
was received by the officers from Ye

Mr. Godbold does not think
Moody will be lynched at Yemassee,

from the citizens of Yemassee that
they would not lynch Moody in view
of his confession.

MURDER MYSTERY.

scarcely begun his Investigation into
the death of a young mail whose
body was found two miles from ther*
Tuesday afternoon, when the mystery
was deepened by tfie discovery of an
other body lying fifteen feet from the
first in a dense underbrush.
The first—body was found in a
thicket close to the tracks of the
Monongahela and Washington rail
road. It was partially decomposed.
Marks of s struggle, were easily dis-
cernable.while the trousers pocketsof
the dead man turned Inside out point
ed to murder atld robbery.
At 6 o’clock Tuesday evening men
searching about the thicket for clews
the man’s identity*stumbled upon
another partly decomposed t>ody. A
search revealed three hats and a re
volver, indicating that three men
were involved, in the strange tragedy.
No residents of the region who view
ed the bodies were able to identify
them and It is said not one in that
neighborhood is missing.
Some think it probable that the
two men fought a duel, which was
watched by a companion, and that
each, mortally wounded, crawled into
the thicket to die.

day night by the discovery of the ~
torso of Mrs. Honorah Jordan, an ac

on Beacon Hill, Boston. Later the

hair and other gruesome remains
were taken from the kitchen range of
the house.
Chester Jordan, aged 25 years, an
actor, of Somerville, is held by the
police charged with the murder, and
according to the officers, he made a
complete confession of the crime.
According to Jordan’s confesiiou,
he accidentally killed hla wife Tues
day’ night in a quarrel at their home,
and because becoming desperate oter
what he did he bought a butcher’s
knife, razor and shears, cut up the
body and placed the torso in a trunk.
He then planend to take the steamer
Harvard for &ew York and throw the
parts of the i>ody overboard. The
fact that the Harvard was laid off.
owing to an accident, disarranged his
plans, and he was obliged to hire a
hackman to take the trunk to a Bre

opportunity. *
