Mormon Church Burned.

A conference of Mormons, led by
elders, was held in their church in Fair
field county, 5. c., the other day, the
only Mormon church IN the state, built
at cost of much self-denial. A feature
of the occasion was the presence Of IS
Cotawha Indians, who had been con-
verted. There was much feeling
against the Mormons, and at midnight
a party of men applied the torch to the
church in several places, burning it to
the ground. The Mormons held their
meeting the next day in bush arbor.
Christians who condemn such warfare
have subscribed for the erection of a
larger and handsomer church.

SOUTHERN GLEANlNGS.
Couldn.t stand suspicion.

w. r. Harris prominent South Car
Gilman, died by his own hand in his
home in Union, of which town he had
been postmaster for nearly four years.
Harris attained notoriety at the Chi
cago conv ntion in 1892. He was elect
ed delegate along with Tillman and
Others and pledged against Cleveland.
but when the roll was called Cleveland
received his vote, and he was appoint
ed postmaster at Union, despite Till
mantle opposition. Lately he turned
republican, and had strong backing for
reappointment. lie was prosperous
and the Office well conducted.
Some time ago Harris purchased the
Union hotel and three acres of land
for $500. 1t was too large for the
town and difficult to lease. Harris in
sured the building for Sl0,0 900. Not
long ago, at daylight fire was discov-
cred in the attic. Two young men in
the telephone exchange barely escaped.
Harris evinced no interest in the fire
and urged people not to enter the
when it was found that the room had
been soaked in kerosene. The city
council offered $500 reward, the citi
zens supplemented this with $1,000,
Harris putting in $3.50 for the appre.
hension of the incendiary. Then Har.
ris absented himself from the post of.
flee. Finally statements Of the public
suspicion reached his ears, and he took
20 grains of morphine and died.
Mother and Daughter Dead.
Mrs. Pauline Widemer and her
daughter, Miss Pauline Widener, COM
mitted suicide at Owensboro, KY, by
taking carbolic acid. They were found
at 10 a. m, when neighbors, suspecting
something was wrong, investigated.
| Mrs. Widemer lay on the front of a
single bed, clothed in a neat black
dress. The daughter was on the same
bed, and her posture was as if she
had started to get in the bed
after her mother. and had fallen
on her side, with one arm partly un-
der her. before she had reached the
position in which she desired to lie.
She, too, was fully dressed, with a
handsome black skirt and pink waist.
Everything about the house was in
perfect order. All the evidence point
ed to suicide. Two glasses containing
diluted carbolic acid were found near
the bed. In the same room two bot
ties containing the acid We're found. A
note was found, written on sealed en-
velope, evidently by the young lady,
but bearing neither date nor signature.
1t was as follows:
''Oh, If had not been so cross with my poor
mother this would never have happened. Isee
now that | stayed at home too much, worried
about nothing. My poor mother was too good
for me. God blessed and prospered u.s."
