Lost Accident Near Eng
elhard. This ; eatastrophre it one of the
most appalling to occur in the water
of eastern North Carolina in yean.
Mr. Murray who it one of the owners
of Te Olde Colony Inn at Beaufort,
: had gone to ; Norfolk early ' in the
week, accompanied by his wifo and
Mrs. Porch, wife of the manager of
the inn, to purchase the yacht Julia
from R. H. Dodson of that eity.
The, purchase was made and the
party, accompanied by Mr. Dodson
and, of the orew, started back
to Beaufort on board of the vestal.
The start was made, it is said, on
Wednesday afternoon. - 80 far as is
known the trip' was uneventful until
early yesterday morning when the ex
plosion of the gasoline tanks occurred.
One Survivor,
Mrs; Murray, the only survivor,
was blown out of the boat by the force
of the explosion but was not injured
enough to prevent-ier swimming
and she was picked up by a pass
. ing fisherman. Engelhard is lo
cated at such a point that to get
in communication with it is a hard
matter and for that reason the exaot
particulars could not be learned last
, night.' The first message telling of
- the tragedy was .received here from
" Belhaven by Solicitor Charles L
. Abernethy? the former owner of the
inn, and her at once got jn commun
ication with Mr., Porch and informed
, him of the affair.' '; ' 4 t
' The yacht Julia was forty-two fopt
in length and was handsomely , fitted
in quartered oak. C It had sleeping
accommodation fes-eight i persons

Prominent Parties.
r Three of the yiolims-nf tho accident
are well known in 'North Carolina,
Mr. Murray was one of the leaders
in the 'business life ' of Burlington
and numbers his Mentis by the score
W. E. Porch, the husband of one of the
victims, was before he went to Beau
. fort, connected with the Hotel Louise
rj at Washington and previous totha$
time watt with a hotel at Raleis-h)
Mr. Dodson was a brothor of one of
Norfolk's most prominent attor
neys. v . '-.:.' . - j
A message received last night from
... Beaufort was to the effect that'Mri
, Porch was prostrated over the' affair
. and was in such a condition- that he
could give out no information,
, ,Th Cause.
When the news of the fearful ao-
, cidont reached New Bern yesterday
. afternoon, it naturally caused oon
1 siderablo eomment and there is a great
' deal of speculation as to what caused
' the gasoline tank to explode. ' While
it is not known here in just-what
- . manner the Julia was constructed
: -it if more thin probable that the tank
or tanks, whichever- the case .might
be, were built in the boat, in such
mannor that an explosion would have
,.- literally demolished the craft.
While' the cause of the explosion
lk not known, ii Is believed that the
tank sprung a leak and that theliquid
. . vaporized and that someone on board
: probably one of the crew, who was
.. navigating the boat, struck a match
and this caused the explosion.
j . ' , A .vessel of the dimensions of the
r Julia is not very large and if the ex
plosion was terrific in force, it pro-
; bably tore the boat into pieces with
in less than ton seconds. If such was
the case, as it probably was, and the
occupants had been soundly, sleeping
- in theu-berths a few moments before,
it can easily be seen that they had
. . but little opportunity of saving them
. .selves,
' : Telephone mossages received here
last night from Belhaven stated that
Mrs. Murray In some way managed
to got hold of a piece of plank and hold
, on to this until rescued by a fish
erman. . : . .. c -,'C- -;
i4 Amnc meHKage reeoived last night
Irwm Norfolk stated that Mr. Pod
son had taken two men on board of
the Julia to act as holpert and as
no one was rescued, so far as is known
exrept Mrs., Murray, It Is very like
ly that tli ww two men alto lost their
Ives and the death list increased to
. ve persons instead of throe.

Raleigh, Jan'. 16 With a bullet
hole in his 'head, Mr. M. T. Norris
was found lifeless in the back yard
of his home, 421 North Blount treet,
early today. How the tragedy occur
red is a mystery. Coroner Charles
A. Separk was notified and went to
the scene. He had reached no official
decision as to how the shooting oc
curred when seen following his visit
to the Norris home.
From relatives the following ac
count was secured: About 4 o'clock
Saturday morning Mr, and Mrs. Nor
ris heard a noise downstairs. Mr.
Norris went to investigate. He re
turned, informing his wife that he
had looked in every room in the
house and had found nothing ex plan
ing the fuss. Mrs. Norris then went
back to sleep. She was awakened
about 7 o'clock by the old colored
man employed at her home and in
formed that Mr. Norris was in the
back yard deal. He was found lying
near the back steps. The bullet hole
was in the right side of his head, just
over the ear. His hair was powderi
burned. The flesh around the wound
was blackened. A pistol was lying-
near him. .He wore his bathrobe and
slippers. ..
Mrs. James A. Higgs, who resides
next door to the Norris home on the
north, heard a pistol shot between 4
and 6 o'clock Saturday morning.
Upon investigation it was found that
the back window of the kitchen was.
raised. Several articles inside the
room were disarranged. On the floor
and on the table in the room several
blo&d-drops appeajedaytn a dish-pan

heath the winp wfcs' a box, but that
is said to have been kept there. On
Mr. Norris' forehead there was a
small wound, as if he had been struck
or had struck his head against some
sharp substance.
Mr. Norris was 65 years old. He
was a native of Chatham county, ad
joining Wake on the west. He had
lived in this city for about io years
and had been prominent in business
circles here. He was for a long time
identified with the firm of M. T. Nor
ris & Bro., and was until recently
following the cessation of that firm,
in the brokerage business in this cityv
