Frightened Mrs. Annie Saunders.
They Also Hnve Information About
tho NorthBromley Avenue Prowler. (
Funeral of the Late Michael Burke.
Thomas McHalo the Winner In tho
Pigeon Shooting Match Some,
Social Events.
The strange mystery of who fright
ened Mrs. Annie Saunders, manager of
J. D. Williams & liro.'t branch con
fectionery store on South Main nvenuo,
has been cleared up. The Incident
which nearly resulted in the serious Ill
ness ot Mrs. Saunders occurred last
Thursday night about 9.P.0 o'clock as
she wan on her way to her home on
Price street, after closing the store.
Her own account of the happening
was subsequently printed in these col
umns. She was walking up Lincoln
avenue toward Price street nnd had
reached an alleyway which runs In tho
rear of V. II. Davis property, corner
of Jackson F'treot and Lincoln avenue.
Suddenly a man stepped out, there was
a Hash of fire and she turned and fled.
She fainted and neighbors nsslsted her
to her home, wher" Dr. Carroll cared
for her.
The man who startled her resides al
most In the Immediate vicinity nnd had
come through the alley to get out onto
Lincoln avenue. He arrived at the In
tersection at the mine Instant Mrs.
Saunders did. Re was smoking it pipe
and had Just blown through the stem.
The tobacco Hashed up In sparks. Mrs.
Saunders was frightened, so was the
man. Roth ran away from each other.
Yefterday explanations were made
both to Mrs. Saunders and to the police,
who were investigating. Now the "Jack
the Hugger" business Is all off.
'Concerning the man who was sup
posed to be prowllns on North Uroni
ley avenue, between Lafayette and
Jackson streets, and frightening per
sona, pome discoveries have also been
made by the police. The man himself
was spotted by Lieutenant Williams
and explanations followed. If anyone
sees him there again, no alarm need he
felt. It Is because the fair, buxom
widow has not yet relented and he Is
simply doing a Komeo act without a
Juliet.
The cause of the 'Jack the Hugger"
Mtorles was made known last week In
these columns. The great mysteries
have now been explained herewith and
the great fears which have excited a
portion of our usually quiet community
should now he laid aside.

WHEN INDIANA WAS Si'RUCK.
An Episode of the Sea Flpht as
Told by an Olllcer.
From tho New York Poet.
The battleship Indiana disclosed a
very Interesting relic of her exper
ience In helping demolish Admiral Cer
vera's ileet off Santiago when her hull
was esposed in view In dry dock In
the Brooklyn navy ynrd the other day
This was a groat dent In her forwnrd
staiboard bow, almost beneath the
bridge. Its history Is this:
In tho thick of the light, when shot
and shell were churning up the water
and whlsrzlng through the air all ubout
the ship, nnd sho was replying with
repeated broadsides from every gun
that could bo brought to bear, there
suddenly came through the roar and
hurtling a swiftly-Increasing, super
eminent who-o-o-o-lsh nnd harsh
Br ream that seemed headed straight
for tho commander and his aides on tho
bridge for no ono esconced himself
In the conning tower during the spec
tuculnr sea fi-jht.
"It made us all flinch," remarked
an olllcer who was there, dropping his
shoulder nnd cocking bin knees nnd
phrlnklng Into ns small a space as his
bulk allowed. In illustration of what
heincant. "Everybody did It Instinc
tively, irresistibly turned their li. atp
away, and lifted their right elbow ns
If to ward off a blow with a club;
und thero was a second or two of aw
ful waiting .while tho roar und soream
seemed to still all the reet of the bat

ear.
"Then followed nn Immeasurable
roar a shojklntr, benumbing, blind

70V West Lackuwamia Avenue-
tain of water burst up beside tho bow
and deluged the forwnrd deck, while
the pondi rou ship, tearing Its way
throuBh the water with ilEontlc
weight nnd momentum, seemd to stop
HUddenly and was Jarred from stem
to stern as If she had run against a
Htoni! wall.
"Captain Taylor Instantly ordered
men Into the forward hold, feellns
sure that a blsuer projectile than tho
navy had ever dreamed of had pierced
perhaps crushed in the side of tho
masnlllcent vessel. They hurried be
low with lanterns, slid down tho steep
Iron ladders, dropped through round
hatchways, crept about and beneath
the machinery, explored the gloomy
recesses of the depths of the structure,
but could find nothln.T wronff. Tho
Kreat enKlnts throbbed on, tho fur
naces llamed and roared, no water
j;urRled ominouMy or burst up to flood
them out, everything was tljjht and
dry, and the ship kept rushlnrt on,
nnd the suns maintained their torrl
lllc cannonade."
"What had happened?"
"We were never quite sure until wo
could exnmluo her nottom here in tho
dry dock. Then we found an elonKat
ed, tiouirh like dent, perhaps two In
ches deep, In the plates of the starboard
how, and about four feet below tho
wuter line, and we became sure of
what wo had previously suspected,
namely, that a 3rc.1t shell, falling
at tho end of a curved trajectory, had
(truck, glanced nnd burst. The Im
pact was tremendous, the caicare sim
ply marvelous."
"Supposing your ship had been a,
hundred feet to the right of her act
usual position at that moment what
then?"
"God knows! Some sub-lleutrnant
would hnve broutjht the Indiana back
to Now York It he had anything left
to brlntr bach!"
