XO CLUE TO TAMPA KILLER.
Murders and Assaults Spread Terror
in Florida City.
Tampa, Fla., Oct. 5.?The red light
district of this city is terrorized by
the operations of "the killer." a negro,
who in the past ten days has
killed three persons?two women and
a man?and in a period of eight
weeks wounded five others, all women.
"The killer" started his operations
as an incendiary. Daily for several
weeks the police and fire chiefs received
letters telling them that unless
the red light district was cut out
the town would be burned. These
letters were iuuuweu vy uuuua^iations,
almost always in the red light
district, sometimes as many as four
in one night. Finally "the killer"
announced he had decided to w*ipe
out the people rather than the buildings,
and the shootings commenced.
Each Saturday night for several
weeks a woman was shot. At first
only negro women were the victims.
Two weeks ago "the killer" entered
the home of Mrs. Luisa Rodriguez,
on 5th avenue, and shot her dead
in the presence of her little son. Mrs.
Rodriguez was not a member of the
red light fraternity but had moved
into that section. She was his first
white victim. Wednesday night of
this week Patrolman Godwin was
shot at by "the killer," and he returned
the fire, but the negro got ]
away. Thursday night "the killer" <
shot through an open window and fa- 1
tally wounded Viola Danford, a white <
woman inmate of a house of ill-fame. 1
She died last night and one hour af- ]
ter her death "the killer" got another
victim, Vincenzo Canroa, manager cf \
a small grocery in the red light dis- ]
trict. Canroa was instantly killed. <
The police have made arrests right <
along, but after each arrest got a ]
letter from "the killer" telling them i
that they had the wrong party. Some {
believe that there is an organization
here similar to the "before day"
gangs that have at times terrorized
other SouthernIcities. j
Blessed Be Men Says Minister.
Worcester, Mass., Oct. 5.?Rev. C. k
F. Hill Cra.thern, pastor of the Par.v c
Congregational church, has perpared 1
a set of Biblical beatitudes brought 1
up to date. Here are some of his s
amendments:
"Blessed are the men who accom- *
pany their wives to church, for they 1
shall save them from the suspicion of -1
being widows.
"Blessed are the singers in the J
sanctuary who can sing and will sing, 1
for they shall never be sent to Sing ^
Sing. *
"Blessed are the people who are (
not forgetful to entertain strangers, 1
for they shall entertain angels un- ,
a wares.
"Blessed is he who walketh not in
the counsel of the gossip, nor sitteth ,
in the seat of the fault finder, but ,
whose delight is in the peace and {
prosperity of the church. His name (
shall be a continual praise in the 3
sanctuary, and liis friends shall be
called legion. (
"Blessed are the church members
who give the Lord and the minister 1
as little trouble as possible; who are ,
loyal to the church, regular in their ,
attendance, generous in their gifts, ,
gracious in their sympathies and hon- ,
orable in all their ways. Rejoice and
be exceedingly glad, for great is your (
reward on earth and in heaven."
Bought Razor to Cut Own Throat.
Atlanta, Oct. 5.?Neighbors on
Whitehall street thought young Ern- 1
est Clark was beating his wife to
death a night or two ago when they 1
heard blood-curdling shrieks emanating
from the residence.
They rushed in only to find that
Clark was merely trying to prevent
his bride from cutting her throat
with a brand new razor which she
?
had purchased for that purpose.
She had also bought clothes in
which she wanted to be buried, and
had made elaborate preparations for
her own funeral. She was not seriously
hurt, and will recover, according
to her husband.
Pockets Picked for $179.
Schenectady, Oct. 5.?Hiram Johnson,
governor California and can
* didate for vice-president on tne jbuu
Moose ticket, spoke in the Centre
Street Opera House here last night in
aid of the Progressive ticket. Max
Novak attended. To-day he is saying
very unpleasant things about the
crowd with which he identified himself.
Novak was one of those desirous of
shaking Gov. Johnson's hand. He
did so, and after he had recovered
from that pleasure he was minus
$179. He is positive he lost it then.
Just before he put out his hand the
money was in his pocket.
Novak is treasurer of a bottling*
works company and until to-day was
a Roosevelt man. Now he's for Chafin.
$15.00 suits now $11.25, all wool,
fit guaranteed. Write F. G. MERTINS,

TROLLEY CREW ROUGHLY USED. G
Four Augusta Strike-breakers Beat- Cul
en?Three in Hospital.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 6.?A trolley j
car, manned by four strike-breakers, yai
was attacked just beyond North Au- wh(
gusta, about 5 o'clock this afternoon, 0id
all of the men severely flogged and nen
one of them shot in the hip. fr0]
When the crowd had taken the n00
strike-breakers off the car one of brie
them was rushed over to a clay pit, tho
where excavation had been made and wjt]
water was standing. The man was g
made to get down into the pit and atta
"dance" while a number of pistol 0f ^
shots were fired over his head. An- ran
other of the men was taken to the un(j
edge of the woods and flogged until by
his clothing was torn to shreds. jaji
Three of the strike-breakers are at p-ati
the city hospital suffering from se- ier
vere bruises and cuts. stor
Superintendent Spofford went to ou^
the spot where the car stopped and an
attempted to have it brought back to COn
Augusta. At the point of pistols he a
was driven back to his automobile,
and told to "high-ball," which he did.
The car is still standing on the line one]
and the people of that community declare
it is going to remain there until ]
the strike Is settled.
