Hrartsvitte, December 12, 1891. Officers Lloyd, Reardon and Hudson of the Baltimore and Ohio detective force made an important capture atthe junction here last night. A gang of thieves have been operating along the road for some time past, plundering freight cars, stores and dwellings at night and hiding in the backwoods inthe daytime. A few nights ago they robbed Lowencamp’sstore at Jessup’s and the store at Charlton Heights. The .fficers have been on their track for some time. Having reason to believe that they intended working on the Hyatteville stores last night the officers laid their plans and bagged ten out of a gang of eleven. When the down freight reached the Shepherd junction three officers sprang aboard the car on which the gang were and commanded them to throw up their ands.

Evidence That the Young Bostonian Threw the Bomb at’ Russell Sage. George 0. Sheldon of Boston, who is con- nected with the Merchants and Miners’ Trans- portation Company, visited the morgue in New York yesterday and looked at the head of the dead bomb thrower. He identified it positively as that of Henry L. Norcross, who was formerly his partner in business in Boston. Inspector Byrnes has seen the wrong persons identified so often that he is naturally still skeptical. Sirs. Norcross, the young man’s mother, was told the dreadful suspicions for the first time on Saturday morning She was informed by Mrs. Adams, who lives in the same house. “Have you any more news from Henry?” the mother asked Mrs. Adams. All night the had believed her son was killed ina railroad accident, and had had no idea of how terrible his death really was. Mrs. Adams felt that deceit could no longer be practiced. With motherly kind- ness Mrs. Adams related the whole awful story. “I cannot believe it,” was the weeping mother's cry, but soon she was calm enough to realize the dreadful importance of the identifi- cation in which she had assisted. ‘The bits of clothing and the button and the photograph were again examined by her. She said afterward that the watch chain her son wore was not made of links, but was a sort of twisted chain. This describes the piece of chain found in Sage’s wrecked office. Mra. Nor- cross said her son carried a dark leather pocket book—not a very big one—which closed with a flap. This fairly describes the pocket bvok found in Sage’s office, in which was « $10 Dill. When he left his home on the morning prior to his disappearance he was apparently in good spirits. He went to his office. He wore a derby hat when he left home, but he left it at his oftice, having bought a silk hat, end this he wore when he ieft Boston. By some of his friends it is believed that he allowed his beard to grow to disguise himself. He had stopped shaving four weeks before his disappearance. A QUIET YOUNG MAX. Concerning young Norcross all who knew hm at all say he was a quict young man, who appeared to have plenty of time on his hands. ‘They never noticed that he was at all crazy. He wae odd, reserved and did not attempt to make acquaintances, especially in the building where his ofice was. The son lived with his parents in Somerville a suburb of Boston, and had an office at No 12 Pearl street, Boston. As soon as his paronts have suthciently recovered from the shock of their son's terrible death they will go to New Electric Railroad Company will construct in that neighborhood, At the last session of Con- grees the company was given the right to cross the Potomac at or near the present aqueduct, und the work they have accomplished since the granting of the privilege proves satisfactorily that the road will not be long in course of con- struction.

The left center of the church was occupied by a delegation from Ana- costia Tent, 135, ludependent Order of Reeh- abites, marshaled by Chief Ruler James H. Goddard and Past Chief Ruler James T.

Sherwood, president of the union, presided and read a selection from St. Jobn and Rev. W. McCullough, pastor of the church, prayed. Letters of regret were re- received trom Grand Chief Ruler J. C. Lee and Mr. H.B. Moulton. In the absence of these gentlemen Dr. Hensley acted as spokesman of thel. 0. R. The doctor defended the Kecha- bites against the charge of being ex-drunkards, complimented their morals aud appearance, outhned the history and aims of the order and made a strong ples against alcoholism. Miss Mubel Powell of the Band of Hope recited ‘Our Temperance Banner,” Miss Flora May Etzler read “The Drunkard’s Dream,” Dr. Hensley sang “Salvation” and Pastor MeCul- Jough made an eloquent raid on the saloon. President Sherwood argued that public opinion must be so molded that the bar room would die, Mr. Barnabas Bryan of the Rechabites spoke briefly and the meeting was dissolved with benediction by the pastor.

Four Persons Murdered and Apparently No Clue Left of the Criminals. A horrible tragedy was committed Friday last at the house of Frank J. Packwood, stand- ing in the center of an orange grove on the banks of Hillsborough river, eight miles south of New Smyrna, Fla. Packwood is a native of Louisiana, but has lived near New Smyrna for over fifteen years. The names of the mur- dered are: Miss A. H. Bruce of New York city; Frank Bruce Packwood, four years old, sor of F. J. Packwood; Mrs. L. D. Hatch and her boy, six years old. The house was entered Friday night through a window, the intruder smashing the sash and glass in order to gain entrance. A ghastly sight met the eyes of the first visitors to the premises Saturday morning. In one corner of the mam room, on the floor, lay the body of Mrs. Hatch, shot through the left oye. In the same room, lying on the bed, was the body of her son, shot under the left ~ and with his throat cut from ear to ear. In an adjoining room, lying on the floor, was the body of Frank Packwood, shot through the head, and with bie throat cut also. In the same room, lying apon the bed, was the body of Miss Brace. Her person had been outraged and her skull and face had been crushed with some heavy weapon. Her face had also been shot through, and her throat had been cut. At the entrance of the broken win- dow a large revolver was found, two chambers ot it having been emptied. On ‘the bed by the side of the body of Miss Bruce lay a double- barreled shotgun with the stock broken into splinters. On the bed near the body of the Hatch boy lay a long-bladed butcher knife. Some of the occupants of the Packwood house had been there only a few days, and’ the amount of money and valuables which they had in their sssion is merely a matter of conjecture. So far in the dispatches from New Smyrna no mention is made of F. J. Packwood as having been in the house at the time of the tragedy or as appearing on the scene then. ‘There isa rumor that he was killed also and his body concealed so as_to throw suspicion on him as the murderer of the others. He has a nephow in Jacksonville who gives the following information: “Mr Frank J. Packwood, my uncle, owns a large orange grove eight miles south of New Smyrna, on the banks of the Hillsborough river and only abouta mile from the ocean. He has lived on the Hillsborough river for at least fifteen years, 1 should say. He ix an all- the-year-round resident and not a tourist.

Hatch is Ihave nofidea. I never heard the name before. Probably relations or friends of Mies Bruce and visitors in the Packwood home. ‘The brother ot Mise Bruce was at one time a promincut broker in Wall street, New York, and it is said that not long before the marriage of Mr. Pack- wood with his other sister he failed, the prop- erty of his sisters being all lost in the sm: up.

King Carlos, attended by all the members of his court, his ministers of state and many prominent Brazilians, waited at the railroad station yesterday in Lisbon for the arrival of the body of Dom ’edro.

A long procession of carriages followed the hearse through the strects, and a number of bands played funeral marches as the cortege moved along. ‘The remains of Dom Pedro were taken to St. Vincent's Cathedrai, where Cardinal Neto performed a low mass for the repose of his soul. When tho services in the church were finished the cofin was again din the hearse and the funeral procession reformed, King Carlos escorting the ‘Eu, and the latter's husband, Count & Queen Marie. d@ Ea, escor' All the members of the royal fami iy and all the officials of the foreign diplomatic corps, with the exception of the Brazilian embassy, accompanied the remains to the pantieon. where Dom Pedro's body was deposited in the family vault, the coftin being placed next to that containing the body of his wife.
