THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 189S8. 5 BOTND T0 A TREE AND MIRDERED Little Percy Lockyar the Victim of a Boy Fiend. Body of the Child Found Bottom of a Creek. at the Pierced by Knife Wounds and the Skull Crushed in by Heavy Blows. THE GUILTY LAD IN JAIL. Hsad Sought to Emulate the “Heroes” of Trashy Literature of the Day. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. body of fi who is 16. — The ear-old Percy Lockyar, w believed to have been mur- dered on Friday night by 15-year-old Samuel Henderson, was to-day found in the bottom of “Reddie" Creek, at th and Catharine streets, and there s little doubt in the minds of the police that young Henderson is guilty of the crime. He s now locked in a cell at police headquarters. The body of the child, when found, was weighted by two heavy stones, one about his neck and the other around his ankles. His skull was crushed in and there was a knife thrust just above the heart and similar woun on his breast, side and forehead, while on one side of his face was a long cut extending from below the eye to the chin. Trom what the police have been able to learn, the crime seeins to have been one of the mc horrible character, and, if all details are true, it stamps young Henderson as u degenerate of the worst type. Yesterday after his arrest, he admitted a knowtedge of the knife thrust, but said that it was due to the child accidentally running against an open knife. Henderson be- came alarmed at this, he said, and the body Into the creek. To- °r, when shown the muti- Jated body of the child, he admitted that he w ible for the other still persisted that it was an accident. The believe 1t was a planned which the gullty one pur- ng e life of another small on, aged seven years. claini=d, has been Hender s reading trashy novels of the wild west son, stamp, and has shown a desire to emulate the “heroes” of those tales. The police assert that Henderson ac- companied Lockyar and Addison to the woods, as he told yesterday, but | instead of any accident happening to either, Henderson tied both children to a tree. Addison broke away and ran home. Tt was then, it is sald, that young Lockyar’s murder was accom- | plished. Dr. Morton, the Coroner's physiclan, who explained the thrust above the heart, said that it caused the death of the little fellow. The police searched for the body dur- ing all of last night, and it was not until after daylight this morning that it was found. Henderson will be glven a hearing to-morrow morning. A fact that has come out in connection with Henderson's alleged crime is that his father, John D. Henderson, was on trial before Judge Reed in October, charged with killing a man named topher Nelson. The killing was the outcome of a quarrel. Henderson when arraigned pleaded guilty to man- slaughter. He was remanded for sen- tence, but some time later it was shown that the death was largely ac- cidental and there was no murderous intent He was admitted to bail and is now a free man.

Neafie, Head of the Ship Making Concern Bearing His Name. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.—Jacob O. Neafie, president of the Neafie & Levy Ship and Engine Building Company, died of beart faflure at his home in this city this afternoon. The concern operates a large plant on the Delaware River front in this city, having established the busi- ness in 1%44 under the name of the Penn- sylvania Iron Works. During the Mexi- can war the firm built 2 number of ves- sels for the Government, and while the war of the rebellion lasted it constructed engines for 120 Government ships, some of them the largest in the service.

Between His Sea-Sick Spells He Makes a Couple Man and Wife. Mary Campbell and M. S. Seibert Evade the Divorce Laws of the State. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAUSALITO, Jan. 16.—There was a romantic marriage on the high seas to- day, and Justice Bellrude of Sausalito, who has grown gray In service on the bench, officiated and a stranger scene was never witnessed. The Justice long since passed the half-century mark, and though he once could withstand the rolling of old ocean, the peculiar sensations of the sea now affect him. To-day the Justice suddenly gave way to his feelings as he was performing the ceremony that made a love-sick | couple man and wife. Mary Campbell had been the wife (\f' a man named Burns and had procured | | a divorce from him last December. | Then Mary Campbell, who preferred her maiden name for reasons best known to herself, fell in love with M. S. Seibert, whose residence is on Sec- ond street in the metropolis, and the love grew apace as the days went by. Both resolved that the law which the Legislature had framed to the effect that people who had been dl\"’“’q. could not marry within a year was bit of foolishness. To circumvent it they decided to brave the ocean's wrath and the law’s also, and so they came to Sausalito and hired the swift tug Gazelle from Charles Forrest and | | put to sea. | It was 12:30 o'clock to-day when the | tug, with the party on board, set out. In the party were Mary Campbell, the bride-to-be; M. Seibert, the happy | groom; Justice J. S. Bellrude of Sausa- lito, and H. Nelson, the engineer and captain of the little tug. Over the bounding waves, through the Golden Gate and to a point far beyond the three-mile limit, the little tug swept. To the surprise of all the Justice grew sick at heart and the lunch he partook of before he left the peaceful port took occasion to distress him mightily. When the captain believed he had | reached the limit of the United States’ jurisdiction he informed the little party | and the ceremony of joining Campbell and Seibert in holy wedlock was per- | formed. Justice Bellrude opened his | mouth and commenced to utter the ste- | reotyped words and the couple stood up in the rocking boat to hear , when sud- denly in the middle of the service the Justice experienced an attack that left | him speechiess. He tried hard to resist the ocean’s tempest but failed, and in fits and starts performed the ceremony. | When it was at last over, and Sausa- lito was again reached, the Justice thanked heaven and pocketed his fat fee, while the happy couple lost lhenl-‘ | | | selves in the crowd. | STRAINED RELATIONS OF CHILE AND ARGENTINA. | Recent Diplomatic Disclesures That Tend to Increase the Possibilities of War. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald says: Little surprise is expressed in diplomatic eir- | cles at the announcement that Argen- | tina and Chile are on the verge of war. The friction between the two govern- ments has been recently very great. It is known here that the hostile attitude of Argentina toward Chiie in 1892, in offering the United States permission to use its territory for warlike purposes agalnst Chile, became known to the Chilean Government only very recently, and the latter, it is said, has excellent information concerning the whole af- fair.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—A special to the | Herald from Valley View, Ky., says: | Dora Clay was unable to walk to the | home of her husband, General Cassius M. Clay, vesterday, and, after going a short distance, returned to the home of her sister, Mrs. Mary Kelly, where she | remained all night under guard of her | brothers, John and Tom.

Th subject of the sermon was “The Hu- man Reaction.” Dr. Jordan prefaced his remarks by saying: “Lincoln once said that he would walk one thousand miles to Join a church which believed in God and hu- As a humble member, it may be, of some such church I would speak to you.” He first showed how the tendencies to worship humanity arose in the rev- elations of power that made for right- eousness and come to us from the lives and acts of other men, who were the sons of God incarnate in the human flesh and a part of our common hu- manity. The reason that men had never been content to worship human- ity as God was ascribed to the fact that they recognized a larger responsi- bility than t! of man. “Man,” he said, “the last of the ani- | mal creation on earth, is not the first cause of his own creation. He can claim no credit for his own develop- ment. Man, therefore, cannot worship himself. He knows that whatever he does of goodness or of wisdom was good or wise before he did it; that good or wise actlon on his part is but fol- lowing in line with the great tendencles and purposes in the universe which ex- isted before man, and by virtue of which man came to exist. It is not the work of humanity but of God in hu- ity, and this only can man wor- After speaking of how slow people were to recognize that nature had her own laws and purposes and that she was not the executor of human justice, he added: “We smile at the zealous clergyman who predicts the destruction of San Francisco by material earthquakes, be- cause of her moral and political delin- | quencies. We stand aghast at the blas- vhemy of the clergyman in Pittsburg who found in the death of a fireman, in a burning storehous: in Chicago, a | punishment for the opening of the ex- position on Sunday. God’s penalties are self-inflicted, for the forces that | punish sin are innate in the heart of man. Every man carries in his own breast the key to his own heaven or his own hell. ‘Much of human misery,” he contin- “‘comes from the belief that nature owes us a living; that somehow other she ought to make an exception in our favor. Most rascals consider themselves privileged characters. The laws of right were intended for some one else.” The spirit, he believed, that made each nation think itself the favored of God and each little sect of Christians advance its claims of one sort or an- other to the true apostolic succession, was a phase of human seifishness. “Man,” he said, “projected his little egoism out on the face of nature.” Prayer, he thought, was the expres- sion of what might be called “human reaction’—the force which caused man to resist gravitation, which pulled man toward the ground. In conclu- sion, he said, “Right and wrong exist in human conduct. All else in the uni- verse Is merely truth. Thus it may be in the universe.

Rescued by a Longshoreman ‘While Being Carried Out to Sea. Handsome Bessie Anderson’s Adven- ture Due to an Attack of Fever. Special Dispatch to The Call TACOMA, Jan. 16.—Miss Bessie An- derson, the belle of Tacoma, escaped from her home last evening while de- lrious, went to the old Tacoma wharf, two miles distant, and jumped off into the bay. John Burns, a longshoreman, heard the splash when she struck the water. He called for help, got a rope and plunged in after hers She had been | in the water nearly fifteen minutes when he succeeded in getting a rope about her and rescuing her. A strong ebb tide was running, and Miss Anderson, who is an expert swim- mer, was paddling with her hands out toward the sea when he caught her. Her clothing, together with her pad- dling buoyed her up until help arrived; otherwise she would not now be resting easily at the Fannle Paddock Hospital, with indications pointing to her speedy recovery. Miss Anderson was taken 11l with fever two weeks ago. Being of a strong constitution, the fever made but slight inroads, except to create in her an un- controllable desire to get out of the house. This feature of her illness caused a strict watch to be placed on her by her mother and brother. On Friday night the latter kept vigil over his sister, and more than onc¢e had hard work to keep her in the house. Early last evening he was in the draw- ing-room with her, when, upon the pre- text that she wished to speak to her | mother, she left the room. She had no soonmer closed the door than Mr. Anderson surmised her pur- pose, and, hurrying to the door, learned that she had gone cut. Search was instituted, but proved unsuccessful until, just after he had notified the po- lice, a telephone message announced Miss Anderson's rescue at Old Tacoma. | She was hurried to the hospital in a hack. It is thought she had previously determined to go to the sound and plunge in, probably belleving, in her delirium, that that was the best way to shake off the fever. Miss Anderson is a daughter of Gen- | eral Adna Anderson, deceased, a promi- nent officer of the Engineering Depart- ment of the army during the Civil War. She is a beautiful blonde of athletic build, a leader at tennis, golf and cy- cling, and has attracted attention in New York society during her visits there. BOYS APPLY A MATCH T0 A COAL OIL SPRAY.

Sir Henry Irving, with all the world open to him, has chosen a play on Peter the Great written by his son. With this drama the Lyceum season will open in January. Professor Oscar Browning is about to publish a life of the ‘inevitable Peter; and Mr. J. M. Graham’s historical novel, “The Son of the Czar,” published by Harpers, has already attracted considerable at- tention, and will certainly be widely read, as it gives a powerful presenta- tion of Russian life at the most crit- ical epoch of Muscovite history. There is something significant in this renals- sance of Peter the Great. The smaller States of Europe are vanishing, one by one, and everything points to eventual collision between the Teuton and the Slav. In the meantime everything that Holy Russia and the anointed person of the Kaiser can do to magnify thelr respective missions will certainly be accomplished.—Harper's Weekly.

Defeats Forget-Me-Not in the Coursing Final at Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.—At the cours- ing meet to-day things got pretty well mixed before the final tfe was run. It looked at first as though it was a day | for the long-enders, but before long the | knowing ones sustained their judgment in giving big odds and taking in the small contributions of those who simply bought because it was cheap. The winners in the run down were: Electricity, Skylight, Reception, Gover- nor Markham, Promise Me, Forget-Me- Not, Gilt Edge and Flying Dutchman. Af- ter thefirst ties Electricity, Gilt Edge, For- get-Me-Not and Flylng Dutchman were still headed toward first money, but when the second tles were finished Electricity had retired Gilt Edge, and Forget-Me- Not destroyed the hopes of the Flying Dutchman.

No finer lot of hares was ever turned loose, and, while the weather was a bit crisp and ‘the sod a little sticky, some grand courses were run, and the large crowd went home satisfied. e | COURSING AT LOS ANGELES.
