BURNED HIS Son IN HIS HoUsl

BURNED HIS Son IN HIS HOUSE,
Haywood Lenaire, a negro "yoodoo
physician" set fire to his house on
Muscovite street, Norfolk, Va, yester-
day and unheeding the appeals OF his
ten-year- son, sprang through a
window and left his child to perish IN
the flames. Lenaire was later arrest
ed and committed to Jail to await ex-
animation. The negro made no state
ment whatever concerning his crime
or motive. Lenaire has lived for many
years in the house that he destroyed,
1t being his property. He claimed to
be a "voodoo DOCTOR" with power to
conjure and put evil spirits on those
who offended him. His house contain
ed many firearms, and one Of his prac-
tices was to fire his rifle down In the
we'll at midnight and early In the
morning by which means he either
called up or quieted evil spirits. The
neighbors, aroused by the bright glare
of the fire this morning, reached the
scene in time to see Lenaire spring
through a window and vault three
fences and make his escape to the
road, down which he ran with the
cries of Papa, let me out" coming
from his son imprisoned In the burn
ing building. The fire had gained such
headway that 1t could not be checked
and in a short while the building was
mass of ashes. AS soon as possible
search was made for the remains or
the child and the blackened BODY
burned to a crisp was found In one
corner.

OBSERVE THE LAW.

With the approach Of autumn, says
the Greenville News, the sportsman
begins to think Of hunting, and 1t Is
not at all infrequent that the game
laws of the state are violated at this
season of the year by the too ambi-
tious hunter. AS matter Of fact, no
one has a right to shoot partridges,
turkey, deer or any other game until
November l, and the fine prohibiting
1t Is severe. The law goes into effect
ON April / and from then until 1t goes
out at the end of this month hunting
is a crime and the sportsman who in
dulges Is apt to be punished.
There was a time when the forests

were very affecting.
No attempt was made to unload the men
here. arrangements having previously
been made to send them to the Kansas
state line over the Santa Fe railroad.
Another party of exiled men will be sent
out of the district, tomorrow.
Sixty men confined in the Cripple Creek

by political preferment.
The matter came up in the House OF
Commons. today. A letter from Lord

Mr.. Fisher replied that when he did

Sir Wilfred Laurer, the premier, con-

MISS LENA MORTON.
Death of Former Vice President s
Daughter at Paris.

Paris, June 10-Miss Lena Morton,
daughter of Levi L. Morton of New York.
died, Friday morning. from blood poison
ing which followed an operation for ap-
pendicitis. Miss Morton's family were at
the bedside when she died.
The operation in itself did not arouse
serious apprehensions but the appearance.
Thursday, of blood poisoning gave the
case Il grave turn. Miss Morton rallied
slightly in the afternoon but later her case
became hopeless and she sank gradually
until her death, which occurred, early
Friday.
No funeral arrangements have yet been
made. but it is probable that the body
will be embalmed and taken to New York
for interment.
The deceased was q years of age and
was the elder of the two unmarried
daughters of former Vice President Nor
ton. She was educated here while her
father was amha ssador to France. She
was Il linGuist. highly cultured and was a
general favorite. Her father and mother
and her sister, the duchess of Valenciay.
remained at the private sanitorium in
which the operation was performed until
death occurred. Friends of the family
fear the blow will seriously affect Mrs.
Morton, who has been slightly indisposed.

Those people who had business which
took them out in the early hours Of Fri
day morning. can vouch for the fact
that the present month is one of the
coldest for years, or at least that Fri
day morning was a very cold one for
June. Milkmen and farmers coming
into the city during the day reported
a severe frost, and certainly the air
felt frosty enough. These cold nights
are discouraging for verandah parties
