Hut they have their use, as some say, to blow out the bad air accumulated after Winter storms and Spring thaws, There is far more important accumulation of badness in the veins and ar teries of humanity, which needs Hood's Sarsaparilla, This great Spring Medicine clarifies the b!ood as nothing else can. It cures scrofun, kidney disease, liver troubles, rbeurna.ism and kindred ailments. Thus it gives perfect health, strength and ap petite for months to come. Kidneys - “ My kidneys troubled me, and on advice took flood s Sarsaparilla which gave prompt relief, better appetite. My sleep is refreshing. It cured my wife also.” Michael Boyle, 347;$ Denny Street, Pittsburg. Pa. Dyspepsia - “Complicated with liver and kidney trouble, I suffered for years with dyspepsia, with severe pains. Hood’s Sarsaparilla made me strong and hearty.” J. B. Kmkkton, Main Street, Auburn, Me. Hip Disease-” Five running sores on my hip caused me to use crutches. Was confined to bed every winter.

He also claimed to set tire to the house* when the murder i was committed, but changed his mind. ! and went for assistance, and subsequent ly confessed to all the details es the shocking crime. The scene of the murder is about two and a half miles south of Bowie, and a more lonesome spot could t. i well be imagined. The Misses Clark lived alone j on a farm on the road from Bowie to | W nite Marsh Church. Berry was seem j ed by Miss Amanda Clark alsmt two years ago from Cheltenham Reformatory School for Colored Boys and was eiu* | ployed to assist the two ladies about I their housework. No one can tell just at what hour the young negro commenc ed tiie assault, but circumstances and events place the hour at about 7 o’clock on Saturday evening. In the kitchen, where the murder took place, was found a little table, on which liad been placed the evening meal, show ing that tin* murderer made ids assault as the two ladies were at their supper. lie struck Miss Annie on tiie head with it billet of wood two and a half f<*ct long which had been cut for the stove. The blow knocked her from her chair to the floor. ! Berry then attempted to strike Miss Amanda, but she for a time warded off his blows, standing between him ami her fallen sister. Finally, however, he succeeded in heating her. to the floor when he struck her a blow that scat tered her brains and blood over the floor and walls of the kitchen. Hastening from the room, he made hurried preparations for flight, return ing though to the kitchen at a cry front Miss Annie, who had in the meanwhile revived, and striking her in the face with a billet of wood. He then attempted to outrage her: ttijd her strength being exhausted, she prmti ised to give him a hundred dollars aitd never mention his name if he would spa re her. lie made her swear ties upon ‘a crucifix, and then left the house, .going for a doctor. | To the doctor and others whom lie met tne negro stated that some one had got ten into the house and almost killed th** ladies. Then returning to the house, lie heard Miss Annie ask for a priest, t id i was instantly off again to fetch him. ! ('apt. George IV. Smith. Martini Keougli and Ilarry Keough, of Bowie, I arrived at the house about midnight, i They at once set to work to get at tile {bottom of the crime and began ;> pty Berry with questions. They soon hud j him tangled up, and Constable Norman Porter placed him tinder arrest. They took him to the bedside of Miss A'lew Clark and asked her if she identified him. She waved her hand and said. "1 certainly do. Take him away.’ 1 Sheriff Roby took the prisoner (o Bowie. Just as they were leaving the house, a pair of bright. handcuffs were slipped over his wrists. ! ,\t the sound <>i the click of the cuff locks and the touch of the cold steri Berry cringed, and lie then wanted to talk. He said he was not at the house, but had gone to a store for some quinine and found the women on his return. Tie added: "When 1 saw them all bloody 1 fainted and took a dose of quinine to brace me up.” He denied having changed bis clothing, but Marlin Keougli made a search for the cast-off suit and found the blood-soaked garments in a wooden client in a summer kitchen. W hen shown the clothes Berry shut up like a clam. I Later, however, the negro made a full confession, stating that the ladies scold ed him for coming into the house with muddy feet, and that they did not treat him right otherwise, and that. In* had been intending to do the deed for several days. | Berry was taken to Upper -Marlboro on a special train frogf Bowie about " o'clock in the custody of Sheriff Iloboy.
