MURDERED AND ROBBED.
' Everything Seems to Indicate That That
Was Hugh l‘vIcGuire' s Fate.
PEEKSKILL, Dec. 23.—«People here are hor-
‘rified at the discovery of what isbelieved to
be evidences of a dastardly murder. The
body of Hugh McGuire, an aged resident of
Verplanck’s Point, was found in the bushes
beside a lonely road leading from Oldfield’s
brickyar (1, about a mile from the village.
The dead man’s face was badlv scratched
and battered. There was a deep cut 1n the
back of the head as if made by a blow with
some blunt instrument or a stone, and his
clothing was torn and showed evidences of
a severe struggle.
Mr. McGuire was last seen alive Saturday
afternoon, when he visited Peekskill and
started to walk to his home, about th1ee
miles, shortly afte1'5 oclock. His road lay
through a lonely country. On his way out
of Peekskill he stopped at Benner 85 Cole’s
bricky'ard, where his son James had worked,
and got an overcoat which he had left there.
It is known that when Mr. McGuire left
Peekskill he had considerable money with
him, which he carried in an old pocketbook.
Nothing was seen of him after he started
on his journey afoot. He did not come home
the following day and his family began to
get anxious. Sunday night a search party
was organized and the ~whole of the rough
and unfrequented region between Peekskill
and Verplanck’s Point was explored. Early
yesterday morning they found his body in
the condition described. The overcoat
which he had carried with him was missing,
as was the pocketbook containing his
money.
The spot where the body was found 15
sev '1'le hundred yards from the main road,
and it is believed that the murderer came
up behind the old man in the dark and
struck him the stunning blow in the back of
the head which killed him. He was then
robbed, and the murderer, after dragging
his body some distance, pitched ~ it into the
bushes and made his escape with the booty.
There is a small colony of Italian laborers
about half a mile to the east of the spot
where McGuire’s body was found, and it is
suspected that some of these people may
know about the crime. As yet, however,
no evidence against any of them has been
discovered.
Swept Overboard.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.—As the steamer
Corona, from southern California, was com-
ing in through the Golden Gate 3. big wave
swept her deck, carrying overboard J. C.
Bailey, a business man of Los Angeles, and
a waiter, name unknown. Several-passen-
gers were knocked over and washed along
the deck.
Celebrities Dressed the Dolls.
BOSTON, Dec. 23.—For the benefit of the
Kindergarten for the Blind certain dolls
‘ were sold here. ' Those dressed by Mrs. Har-
rison, Mrs. Cleveland, Georgie Cayvan and
other celebrities were bought by a New
York furrier. The highest price paid the
auctioneer was twenty-five dollars.
Diana IVill Stay in New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 523.—Inxestigation at
Madison Square garden dispT-‘Oves the dis-
patch published from Chicago that the statue
of Diana was to be removed from the gar-
den and taken to the ‘Vindy City to adorn
the dome of the World’s fair agricultural
building.

A STEAM R IN FLAMES.
The Abyssinia, of the Guion Line,
Burned in lliclocean.
ALL ON BOARD WERE SAVED
She Carried a Crew of Eighty 'Men and
Bad Eighteen Saloon and Thirty-eight
Steerage Passengers—The Spree
Brought the News to London.
LONDON, Dec. 23.—The steamship Abys-
Iinia, of the Guion line, which sailed from
New York on the 13th of December for Liv-
erpool, has been burned at sea. All hands
were saved. The news was brought by the
North German Lloyd steamer Spree, Cap~
tain Willigerod, which left New York Dec.
15 for Bremen. When she passed the Scilly
islands she signaled that the Abyssinia had .
been burned in latitude 49 degs. north, lon-
gitude 29 degs. west. She also signaled that
all on board were saved, but the date of the
burning of the steamship was not given.
Although the Spi ee did not report that
the Abyssinia’s passengers and crew were
on board of her, it is supposed that such was
the case.
The Buined Vessel.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23. —The Abyssinia car-
ried a Crew of eighty men, eighteen saloon
passengers and thirty-eight steerage. Her
cargo was an unusually valuable one, con-
sisting largely of grain and cotton, but it 15
said that there was nothing that would
have generated spontaneous combustion.
She was passed when about four days out
by the City of Chester, bound for New
York. The ships spoke one another, and
Captain Murray, of the Abyssinia, reported
“all well.”
The Abyssinia is a slow boat, making
only thirteen knots an hour. He1 engine
capacity was 000 horse power, but she could
be relied upon to arrive on time whatever
weather she met.
Although the Abyssinia was considered
the poorest of the Guion company’s fleet she
was a first class steamer, being of iron, with
nine watertight compaitments. She was
built in 1870 for the Cunard company by
George Thompson & Co., of Glasgow. She
was 363 feet long, 142 feet 7 inches beam and
thirty—four-feet depth of hold. Her net reg-
istered tonnage was 2,346 tons. and 3,650
tons gross. She was re-engined in 1883.
For the past five years she has been char-
tered by the Canadian Pacific company and
carried mails and passengers between Van-
couver and Hong Kong. During the past
summer she carried between China and
Canada the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught, of the English royal family.
She was a handsomely fitted boat, and as
her term of service with the Canadian Pa.-
cific Company had expired it was thought
best by the company to place her in com-
mission for the North Atlantic service. She
arrived in Liverpool from Hong Kong in
September. She was repaired and put on
the Atlantic fleet, vice the Alaska, which
was taken out of commission for the winter. .
The Ill Fated “Thirteen.”
She was commanded by Captain George
S. Murray and manned by the crew, num-
bering eighty, of the Alaska, this being her
first trip from New York to Liverpool.
General Passenger Agent Gibson said to a
reporter:
“If the report proves true, it will be an-
other case of that ill fated number 13. The
ship left her dock on Sunday evening, Dec.
13, with a valuable cargo and but few pas-
Sengers. ”
It' 1s said that Mrs. Pilling, of Troy, who
sailed for England with her two children,
had a premonition of impending evil, and
urged her friends to alter the date of her
sailing and select some other ship for her.
Her parents and other relatives laughed at
her fears, and she more from pride than
conviction, in order not to be considered a
coward, said she would sail. Even on the
dock before the vessel started, though she
‘said she was convinced against her will
that all would be well, she felt danger in
the air.
It is said that there were others on board
who shared Mrs. Pilling’s feelings.
The saloon passengers were: Miss Mary
Wohfender,‘Fall River, Mass. ; Mrs. E.Wood-
freen, of Springfield, Mass; James Harney,
of Toronto; James Cook, of England; Robert
Cartwright and Miss Helen Cartwright, of
New York; James Johnson, Miss Nellie
Tighe, Frank Putty, Patrick Hannery, Jo-
seph M. Kerr, Ira Williams, J. H. Richards,
of Salt Lake City; Charles Moore, John
Dragel, Mrs. James Pilling, of Troy, and
children. Mr. Cartwright? was a reporter
for the Associated Press.
The steerage passengers were thirty-seven
in number, being Hungarians from the far
West who were on their way home.
Cotton Merchants Go Under.
MEMPHIS; Dec. 23.—Thomas H. Allen 85
00., cotton factors, who have been in busi— ,
ness here for twenty—five years, have failed.
The liabilities are $544,000; assets about
two-thirds of that amount.
