And the Bodie* Burned With the Raftere of Their Home. WAS A MOST HO&RIBLR CRIME The IluwbatKl W?u Murdeied at the tiate and HIh Wife, Who ltan to Ills ItcHOue, Shared the Haino Fate. A dispatch from Statesboro, Ga., to The Augusta Chronicle says that Statesboro and liullook county were horrilied Thursday over a diabolical crime which was perpetrated at the home of Mr. It. Henry Hodges, seven and one-half miles west of Statesboro. Mr. Hodges and his family, consisting of his wife and three children, were murdered and their bodies burned in their home Mr. Hodges, who was a prosperous farmer and good citizen, was last seen alive Thursday evening about 8 o'clock at the home of Mr. Isaac Aklns, with whom he stopped a few minutes on his way home from the school house. He had gone to the school for his little daughter, who was delayed by a heavy rain from coming home. Mr. Hardy Moore, who lives a mile and a half from Mr. Hodges' place, first saw the lire about 10 o'clock Thursday night and went to the place as soon as he could. He found the house nearly destroyed and could lind no trace of Mr. Hodges and family, but found his mule and buggy in the lot and supposed he must have been . at home and his body in the burning building. KOI J L I'LAY 8UHK. Further investigation proved that there had been foul play. There were signs of a struggle and blood at the front gate and also on tlie walk from the gates to the house. As soon as the heat had subsided the bodies of all the family were found burned beyond recognition and the skulls of all were crushed. It is t hought that the members of the family were murdered, the house looted and burned. There was a lamp found burning at the front gate after the neighbors had gathered. It Is supposed It was left by the murderers In their haste to get away after searching the house. The signs of a struggle at the gat<t are supposed to have been made by Mr. Hodges and the person or persons who committed the crime. He likely heard a noise and went out to Investigate and was seized, fought for his life and was murdered by having his head crushed with some heavy instrument. Ills body was carried in the house and his wife and children were brained and the home fired to cover the crime. Business has been suspended at Stat* shorn and the citizens nf the town and county are exerting every effort to apprehend the guilty parties. If overtaken it Is very likely that there will be a lynching lice in Hul lock county, as the people are much wrought up. Mr. Hodges was industrious and frugal and was thought to have considerable cash in his house. Dispatches have been sent out to hold all suspicious characters. Sheriff Kendrlck has wired to Savannah for the Chatham county bloodhounds to assist in tracking the criminals. KILLKD AT TIIK GATK. Further investigation proves that Mr. Hodges was seized some distance from ills dwelling and struggled for his life until lie reached his gate, when he was knocked down and killed, as there was blood 011 the fence and gate posts. His hat was found in the lane near hiscowpenand it is thought he was penning up his cows when hej was attacked. The robbers likely did not expect to tlnd him out of the house at that time of night, but as they did they decided to get rid of him and proceeded to take ids life. His wife's tracks were found coming from the house to the gate, and it is thought that she heard the noise and came out with the lamp to see what was the matter, and she was killed at the gate also, and both bodies carried In the house and the house searched for money, the children killed and the torch applied. The bodies were all found in one room, the man, woman and oldest child occupying positions opposite to where the beds were, which shows they were left lying 011 the lloor. One of the smaller children was in the remains of the bed and the other in a cradle. Mr. iiooges was shuck oniy on ine back or the head, while his wife was struck on the forehead and the back part, the top of her skull being nearly severed. Mr. Hodges' ax was found near the * bodies. The bloody work was done with this instrument. There had l>een a rain Just before the crime was committed, which will be an aid In overtaking the criminals. IXHJS TAKK TIIK TRAIL. Track were found in the rear of the house across a corn patch of a person wearing a small dress shoe and one barefooted, but having small feet. Sheriff Kendrick put his dogs on the track and run It off from the house apiece and found they book the run of a branch a hundred yards or so, but the dogs had no trouble in finding the scene anew and were running it when the Chronicle man left, and it is .thought the criminals will he caught. / Y? ' People are present, from all over the county and a large posse Is following the dogs. Two of the children were very small, which only makes the deed more horrible. MUUDK1UCH8 ARRKSTKD. Several negroes have been arrested for the murder and the burning of the ^ \ house. Paul Reed and Will Cato are the most deeply implicated. Paul .?I#A 4/n U.

A special from Greenville to the State says: Kirly Thursday morning Constables AI torn, Cooley and Charles : arrested and delivered to the county jail Roman white, colored, under the charge of killiug Harney Houseton, colored, at the letter's house near the city limits on Augusta street. The body of Houston was found near the house, his death having been caused by a shot through the breast. Coioner black was notitled aud em- { paueled a Jury who returned a verdict ' that the death of Houston was caused by a gunshot wound in the hands of Roman White. The shooting is sup poseded to have been the result of a family row. The oilloers had been out all night on a raid and Thursday morning when they wore near the city limits shots were heard, two mutlled, as II tired inside a house. The three were .'100 yards from the scene of the shooting, and ran toward the house. Altoin went to the rear of the house, a thr eroorn shanty, Charles to the rear and Cooley ran around the end of the house. Altom seeing a negro boy in the yard, asked where was the party who ( did the shooting and was told that he { was in the house. Hushing open the ( front door the constable stood face to face with White, the negro who had shot Houston. Recogulzlng the otllcer. White wheeled around and | reached after his pistol which lay on , the bureau. j The ofllcer was too quick for White and when ihe latter found out that Altom had the drop on him, he faced [ his captuier.

The T2-callbre pistol which White grabbed when resisting is the one used in kill- . lng Houston and was tired four times, two bullets being found In the chain- k bers.

We clip the following from The State, which says: Fred Brown, a life term negro convict, sent up for murder, cut tils throat after uiaklug a murderous assault Thursday afternoon iipon Will Lewis, also a life term negro couvict in the penitentiary. Brown was head coik of the guards' rod offioers's mess and Lewis is a waiter. The tight began in the kitchen and the officers were aroused from dinner by Lewis rushing iuto the room, a stream of blood gushing from Ids neek, and Brown Dashing after lilm with a long kitchen carving knife. After a hard cha-e Brown was overpowered and taken to the whipping room beneath the hospital. While j waiting there for instructions the guard paid little attention to the man until lie heard an exclamation, and looklrg up saw lite murderer slashing Ills own tliroat. lie lived for several itours, dying at 8.30 Thursday night Messrs. W. Q. Black, bonkkeper, T. II. Lesene, commissariat; Dr. S. K. Harmon, Capt. J. M. Graham and First Seargemt C. (J. Huberts were at jinn<*r in the mess when Brown att.ac ed Le vis in the kitchen, which is ill) 10 or 12 feet from the me s hall. No quartcting was heard. Not a single discordant word in the routine iervlcc was noticeable, not even an ludible suggestion from the c< ok to j lis assistant. Suddenly tlicy heard :t tCream and immediately the lleeing : iervant was rushing into the room ! ihouting: ' Stop lilm! lie's killing lie!" Then everything was turned .opsy turvy as the officers saw the orrn of Brown with a long 10-Inch arving knife in liis hand making d"Sicrate lunges at tlie lleeing man tryng to stab liim In the hack. in and out the officers'quarters and iround the building the infuriated ionvlot pursued his victim with the! Ulcers in liot chase after the would i ie murder. As Brown was about to j >e caugnt 11c made a desperate cast of ;he 20-ounce knifo at the head of Ids escaping foe, the knife sinking deep to a half closed door through which die pursued man had just passed. Serjeant Roberts was the first to lei/.e Hrown and when the other otli;ere arrived he was turned over to a juard with orders to take him to tl e whipping room and wait instructions, is the superintendent must always lear the cause before corporal punishment is administered. While waith g n tlds room Brown took a small pockjt knife, about two inches long, from lis clothing and, in full view of the man who had just arrived to lay on Lhe lash, he hacked and raked at his Ihroat until the windpipe was completely served. I)r. S. E. Harmon at this time was In the hospital with Will Lewis, whose head and neck were badly cut and he lid not know of the sequel until some Lime later. He summoned Dr. L. A. [>ritilth and they did everything in their power to save Brown's life. The wound was sewed up and treated. The man talked for a short while. He stated that he intended t> kill Lewis but would not tell why or what brought on the assault. Lewis, who is still in the hospital, but is not considered dangerously wounded, stated to a reporter Thursday that lie and Brown had been friends for years and had never had any trouble of the slightest nature He said that there was no quarrel between them Wednesday, that the only worls spoken by Brown were in a whisper, that he said, "Lewis get your dinner now quickly as 1 am awfully worried today," Lewis got a pan ind was stooping over a pi t when without another word lie was struck in me uiicK or me neau witn me i?i^ kitchen knife. Fred Brown had been in the penitentiary for l.'i years. lie was convicted of murdering Lem Jackson, colored, at Belleville, Lexington county, in June, 18i?0, and was sentenced by Judge 1. I). Wltherspoon to be hanged Marcli 20, lyOl, in the Lexington jail. During this interval Brown escaped Jail but was recaptured and on the night before he was to expiate his crime Gov. B. R. Tillman 3ommuted the sentence to life Imprisonment in the State penitentiary. During Gov. McSwecney's adinlnis Lratlon several petitions for the man's pardon were submitted to that official hut he refused executive clemency and since then the olllclals say Brown had become morose and dejected, freluently saying there was no hope for him and he would have to spend his entire life in prison, which he would iay was worse than death. Superintendent Griffith says Brown has been one of the best oonviets in the prison and has for years been cook for the officers' mess but that recently, since he was refused pardon, has acted iiucerly. It is his belief that the man was crazy when he attempted the life of his life-term companion. Tlio WcHtern States. Conditions in several of the western States, Senator Dubois said in a recent interview with Judge Parker, give the Democrats a good chance of success. He mentioned particularly Idaho, Colorado, Montana and Nevada. In Washington it has been set tied that Poimer Senator George Turner will be nominated for the governorship.

The total atondance was about .100 and in addli on the educational conference and he State Teachers' association atracted a large number of leading edu iiiAjis <inu uiyuicu. The ureat body of teachers in atendadce were diligent and won from 'resident Johnson an exprissed opini>n that the session just closed was narked by great r energy, more dill:ence and a more enthusiastic profesionalism than any previous summer cbool. In ids closing remarks lie expressed Vintbrop's pleasure at having the cbool, and the teachers were made to eel that all Lhatcould be done was for heir pleasure and protit. The splenlid equipment of lire college with very modern convenience, a strong acuity, a full and well-chosen course f lectures, and also the attraction urnish.d by Superintendent Hughes ,nd bis cornet band all contributed to , mouth of pleasure and prolit to the lred and worn teacher. One of the last attractions was a ecture, full of force and instruction, ly Dr. J. A. 11. Scherer, president of dewberry oollego. An address for he closing evening was announced to >e given by President Poteat of Kuril in, but the school was disappointed ipon Dr. Potcit's failu e to arrive.

Additions to He >lnde Which Will Greatly Increase It Fitcilit lew. For some time those in charge of tlie Columbia Hospital have contemplated an addition to the present structure, which is inadequate to the demand almost daily made upon it. After consultation it has been decided to make an addition which will increase the facility for accomodation lifty per cent. Also an operating building will be erecti d. The plans were inspected and Shand and La Fa} e were chosen as the architects. The present main building now med for private patients will be the nurses' quarters. This building is very com fortahle and is titled with hot water heating apparatus, electricity and sim ilar conveniences. The two wards, wooden structures, which ran south from the main building and 'are c mneeted by corridors, will be moved to the west of the blook on whieli the hospital is located, in the expectation that in the future tiny will he replactd by more modern buildings of brick. The plans now decided upon are almost ready for the contractors to bid upon and it Is hoped that advertisement for these bids will be made in about three weeks. Connected with the''main building (which as sai l will be used for the nurses' home) by a stone corridor, running to the cast, will be the operating building. Th's building, which will have the same frontage as the present main building on I'.ain street, will be in by .'{8 feet in s'/.e and in addition lo a large operating room will have an anaesthetizing room, a steiili/.ing ro< m, a stock room, a surgeon's r< om, etc. Another coriidor will cmr.ect the operating building with the new wards to lie erected, and which will lie located with a frontage of 81 feet on i'laln street and 121 feet on the Harden stieet side of the hospital. On either side of the entrance will tie an olll e and a reception room. Running south a corridor extends the length of this building with room on either side. There will he twenty-live rooms, each of wnich will ire provided with a full lengtli window lo the tloor. These windows may he opened and patients re ' moved to the terraces just ouslde of the rooms will be connected with private baths. At the rear of this building will bo a semi circular solarium or sun parlor constructed almost, entirely of glass and for the use of convalescents in the winter months. The C( st of the operating building will he about $4,000 to $">,000. The plans were furnished by C. C. Wilson, architect, and the contract lias i>eeii let to Geo. W. Waiing. Ground for tills building will be broken in a few , weeks. Its beginning lias been delayed by the fact that the location of the other new structure had not been delinitely decided upon. This latter ? DuiiuiiiK win cosl auouo vio.uuu ana as already said Is hoped to let the con- 1 tract In about three weeks. It Is probable that the additions will be completed and ready for occupancy by ^ January Hrst of 1905. TheOo'umbla Hospital is an institution which lias struggled through many viccissltudes yet is daily more J appreciated. The testimony of its pa- 1 tients is its best advertisement.
