DEADLY LA GRIPPE
ASSUMING) ALARMING ASPECTS
IN BASTEKN CITIES.
It
Keaensblee the Fatal Knsslaa
Influenza Many Cities Are Af
flicted. Nkw York. Dec. 15. -There is
a good deal of talk here just now
about the prevalence of influenza
in neighboring cities, particularly
in Connecticut, where some alarm
exists. In Norwich, for example,
nearly one-fourth of the people
are suffering from it, and there
are reports almost as woful from
Minden, Groten, I'lainfield and
Bridgeport. In some places the
malady is hardly less dangerous
than is the Russian influenza in
the countries to which it has been
carried this yea. At the port of
New York there is the utmost
vigilance in' guarding against the
introduction of the epidemic now
prevalent in eome of the countries
of Europe and in Mexico and Bra
zil. A new and dangerous kind o'
la grippe that has recently ap
peared in Baltimore is declared by
physicians to resemble the Rus
sian influenza that has spread
from Russia to Australia and Ger
many with direful results, and
which at this tiuie has hosts of
victims in those countries.
St. Louis, Dec. 15. La grippe is
spreading rapidly in St. Louis.
The physicians of the city lind
themselves crowded with busi
ness, many having more than they
can attend to, However, but few
cases ere as violent this year as
last, although a few days of cold
weather would doubtless make
many cases serious. Postmaster
Harlow is suffering from a light
attack: of the disease. Many large
factories and wholesale establish
ments are feeling the effects of la
grippe. Employes are becoming
ill by dozenb.
Philadelphia, Dec. 15. La
grippe is spreading in this city to
an alarming extent. Almost in a
day whole families have been
seized. In homes, in charitable
institutions and everywhere where
masses meet and mingle, the con
tagion ia spreading like a wind
fanned flame.
Colvmbi'h, O., Dec. 15. At no
time since la grippe first mado its
appearance here has it claimed
more victims than just now. The
mild weather, with considerable
precipitation, seems to have fur
nished just the conditions the epi
demic requires to flourish in, and
all the physicians say the amount
of sickness in Columbus now is al
most unprecedented.
TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. !".
Detals of the quadruple murder
which was discovered Saturday
near New Smyrna show the crime
to have teen a most revolting one.
and indicates that the perpetrator
was a henu in human torni. Kane
it has been learned,, and not roh
bery, was the object of the crime,
as not a cent nor an article of
value - .was taken. The scene of
this brutal crime is a beautiful
spot, half way between Smyrna
and Oak i Hill. There are two
houses on a mound, both o.ie-story
and of two rooms each. Ore of
the-e buildices was uned as a
dining-room and kitchen, and the
other, where the crime was com-
initteu and which is twenty steps
away, was used as a dwelling, b.
I. Pack wood, his little son and
sister-in-law, Miss Bruce, were the
occupants of these houses. Fri
day Mr. Pack wood went to Alait
land on business, leaving the child
and Miss Bruce at home alone.
Miss Bruce sent up a mile or two
for Mrs. Hatch, a friend, who
came over with her little son to
spend the night. On Saturday,
Irwin Jenkins, a colored man, liv
ing about a mile away, wuouid
the marketing for the residents of
the mound, called about ! in the
morning to see if anything was
wanted at Maitland. He knocked
several times at the door, but re
ceived no answer, lie walked
around the house and found that
the front window bad bem
smashed in. A heavy piece of
scantling lay close by, Aith which
the window had evidently been
broken, surmising that some
thing dreadful had occurred,
he Hastened to the house of the
nearest neighbors and told th?m
that something was wrocg at Hie
Pack wood house. These persons
immediately set out for the place,
which they entered through a
window. A most appalling spec
tacle presented itself to their gaze.
Mrs. Hatch lay by the window in
a pool of blood, with a pistol wound
on tbe inside corner ol ber leu eye,
Her face was blackened with pow
der. The other bodies lav near
her. Her little son lay on a lounge,
He was shot over the left eye anu
his throat was cut in three places.
The head was almost severed from
the body. While the murderer
was opening the window, Miss
Bruce had apparently secured a
pistol and fired at him, as a bullet
was found in the window frame.
She seems then to have taken a
shotgun from the closet, out un
fortunately it was not loaded and
was ouicklv wrenched lrom her
by the murderer. He then over
powered her, threw her upon the
led and accomplished his devilish
purpose, probably after killing her
little nephew. Miss Bruce was
found lying on her back in the
bed with her form bare down to .
juBt above the knees. After this
the murderer probably shot his
victim through the right cheek,
but failing to kill her, be picked
up the shotgun and brought down
the butt end of it with all his brute
force on the head of his defense
leHa victim. The blow struck her
between the forehead and the
noee, and caved in the skull like

Packwood, a nine goiuen-oeau.-u
tot of five years, was found on the
rluor with his thioat cut lrom ear
to ear. His features, which in
li:e bad bem beautiful, were badly
marred by the ciuel knife of the
murderer. The fl ors of both
rooms were completely cover d
Willi blood, as was the bedding on
which Miss Bruce Say, and also
that on which the boy Hatch was
found. The curtiins anil walls
were also bespattered with blood.
Mies Bruce was a comely young
woman about SO years old, and of
a verv lovable disposition. Alter
the horrible discovery the author
ities were notified, and an investi
gation begun. The sheriff, with a
posse ol nearly wi citizens.
ccoured the country tor many
miles, but without result. 1 here
are many ineones aa uj me ii"i
able murderer ; one is that
th horrible crime was the revenge
of a rejected suitor for Miss Bruce's
hand, hnds many believers, num
mary justice will be dealt out to
him, it captured. The negro Jen
kins, who discovered the crime,
has been arrested and placed in
jail. But few believe that he bad
any share in the crime, and he ia,
therefore, unmolested uy me angry
citizens. The victims were mineu
from the Hatch residence jester-
day. Nearly 500 persons were in
attendance.

THE DAY IN CONGRESS
THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
APPROVES THE REPORT.
Proceeding In the Senate A Few
Bills Introduced and Refer
red to Ceasanlttees.
Washington, Dec. 15. The re
publican senatorial caucus this
morning approved the report of
the committee charged with tbe
arrangement of the committee
membership, and the democratic
managers were furnished with tbe
list as adopted. Some assign
ments yet remain to be made, but
tbe caucas committee was author
ized to arrange them after a per
sonal consultation with tbe sena
tors concerned.
In the senate the vice-president
announced the appointment of
Morrill as regent of the Smithso
nian Institution to fill a vacancy.
Among the bills introduced aad
referred were the following : For
the purchase of a site for a build
ing for the supreme court of tbe
United States; fer a bronze statue
of Christopher Columbus in Wash
ington ; to promote and encourage
a display of tbe flg of tbe United
states.
The Whaisfcaefcs.
The ship building industry in
the United States seems likely to
receive a new impetus from the
success of the new patera vessels,
ailed the wbaiebacaa. flrst built
on Lake bupenor, an 3 making
voyages from there to Linkville,
Kngland, with grain cargoes whh
;reat euctess. One of these vessels
the Wetmore was loaded with
material for the construction of
like vessels and started for Puget
Sound on this coast. The voyage
was safely made until tbe ship
struck the gale off tbe mouth of
the Columbia, last week and was
disabled by the loss of her rudder.
Lven in this condition, she proved
exceptionally seaworthy, riding
out the btorm until she was towed
in to Astoria by tbe Zambezi,
which was cn her way in. Tbe
Astorian speaking of the situation
says that this gale is said to be
the heaviest experienced on uie
north Pacific coast since 1880, and
the Wetmore, living through such
a eea in a partially disabled con
dition justifies tbe expectations of
her designers and owners, caps.
Griffiths came over from Port
Townscnd, and at once saw that it
would be useless to try to have her
towed to her destination in ber
present condition. He accord
antly made arrangements with
upt. John f ox. oi tne -i-ioria
Irou Works, to have a new rudder
made here. There is a good deal
oi comment on the action of tbe
captain of the Wetmore in not
troinir into San t rancisco. Had ne
done so which was possible at the
time he would, certiniy nave
saved himself aod owners con
siderable trouby-tatnd expense.
Th libel unit of Zm.. ' zi for 1250.-
000, is also the sVj. of consider
able criticism V V the general
opinion is th -vhile it was
natural tor the er,ti and owners
to set it as high as possible, there
is not the remotest chance for
them to get anything like the
amount they ask for. As a matter
of fact there is no rule of legal pro
cedure. When the matter is
brought into court, as was tbe case
when Capt. Cieo. Flavel libeled thw
steamer Queen of the Pacific im
18&, the question ol award is
ourelv a matter of discretion in
the judgment of the court. What
ever the court thinks proper, tak- -
inz tne cticumsiancea into con aa u-
eration, is awarded. Many think
that one-tenth of the amount
asked for is all that tbe Zambezi
will ever get. Bat even $25,000 is
a snug little sum, just like finding
it. as tbe Zambezi was bound tn.
and was only detained a few lours.
