Bonacker had passed away last night, the end coming at about 11 o’clock. She had long been a sufferer; indeed, for several years she had been an invalid, but there had not been any marked change in her condition re- cently. Up uatil last Friday she had been in about her usual state, able to be up and around tho house, aad even to go out for a drive. At that time, however, she was stricken with her last illness and sank grad- ually until the end. Mrs. Bonacker was reared in this community, growing up from child- hood to lovely womanhood among our people, and the older residents especially remember her with most affectionate regard. She was mar- ried about seven years ago to Mr. John H. Bonacker, and since that time has resided in Tampa. The union was a most happy ome, the two young people having grown up together and having been sweet- hearts from early youth; and the only cloud in their wedded life was the delicate health of the fair young wife. The funeral will take place from the Episcopal church in this city tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, the exercises being conducted by Rev. J. H. Wedell. The funeral party will arrive on the 7:25 train from Tampa tomorrow morning. Besides ‘members of the bereaved family the following prominent gentlemen of Tampa will come out to act as pall- bearers: Messrs. F. E. Bryan, E. R. Gunby, 8. T. Woodward, W. W. Jones, D. E. Freeman, and J. T. Mahoney. Besides her husband, the only im- mediate remaining member of Mrs. Bonacker’s family is a sister, Mrs. C. M. White, formerly Miss Flor- ence Scott, whose home is in' Ari- zona, but who has been with her sister for several months. Her fa- ther, Captailn A. A. Scott, died some years ago, and her mother fol- lowed him to the grave a year or two later. CHASE IS O0UT FOR CONGRESS Jacksonville, Aug. 13—Frank E.

NEW ¥ Mrs. Sulzer Unsiccessfully Seeks to (By Amociated Prems) Albany, Aug. 13.—Governor Willlam Sulzer was impeached by the Democratic majority in the as- scmbly of the Legislature early this morning. The vote stood 79 to 45. An all-night session preceded the roll call, the Democrats marking time while waiting the arrival of a sufficient number of absentees to se- cure victory. A sensational devel. opment preceding the vote was the effort of Mrs. Sulzer to save her husband by confessing that she took the campaign funds for speculation without the governor's knowledge. After the impeachment vote, the assembly adonted long articles of im- peachment, embracing charges of diverting campaign funds for per- sonal use, and making false state- ments regarding campaign receipts. These go to the Senate today. His enemies claim that Sulzer will then cease to be governor, but his friends say he can retain his office during the trial. Many members remained in their disqualify from the right to hold a | seats awaiting the roll call on the CONGRESS CONSIDER ING TAKNG A RECESS UNTIL NOVENBER (By Assoclated Press.)

There is some talk here that Sulzer may order out troops | to prevent his foreible removal be- { fore trial, but the rumors are given !little credence, Lieut. Gov. Martin H. Glynn, who will become governor if Sulzer is removed, refused to comment on the action of the Legislature today. Governor Sulzer went to the cap- itol this morning, but refused to talk on the matter. This is the first impeachment of a governor in the history of the State. The Senate and court of appeals sit Jointly for the trial.
