Oakland, Cal-Police Judge Smith
awarded into the care and custody of
Col. J. Lynch of the Waldorf hotel an
overcoat belonging to George e. Law
renee, capitalist, clubman and bon
vivant, and thereby hangs a tale.
Lawrence, whose domestic troubles
at his beautiful home in Piedmont
have been aired in the press for some
time, was arrested some weeks ago at
the instance of his wife, Mrs. Laura
Lawrence, who charged he came home
overburdened with liquor and attacked
her with a knife. She even claimed
he had cut her on the neck, but the
husband denied this. and asserted his
wife had sustained her injury by fall
ing against telephone. ri
When Lawrence had spent several
days in Jail, and the wife, who is also
suing him for a divorce for the third
time, had failed to swear to a formal
charge against her spouse, the pris-
oner was released. According to Law
renee, the colonel invited him to the
Waldorf as his special guest. Law
renee remained at the hotel almost q
week, and then went back to the Tou-
raine. When he went back to the
Waldorf after his overcoat, Col. Lynch

Lawrence swore out bench war

was called Lawrence failed to ma.
terialize, and the court dismissed the
proceedings and ordered Lawrence's
overcoat turned over to Col. Lynch. Y

BOY CONVERTS 10000.
HALF-BREED AROUSEs WORLI
BY WORK IN ENGLAND.
In Tour of Great Britain He Preached
to 100000 Persons - Writes
Autobiography Remembers
from Ninth Month Of Birth.

New York.-Lonnie Lawrence Dennis.
me 1l-year-old boy evangelist who for
three months has been touring England,
Scotland and Wales, where he held sue
cessful revivals, has returned to this
city.
The boy is. fne his years, a prodigy as
q preacher, and all who have attended
his meetings are amazed at his wonder
>ful flow of language.
During the lads tour Of Great Britain
he preached to probably 4,O00,OOO per-
sons. His converts numbered 10000.
His daily audiences in London, the boy
said, averaged 1000.
In personal appearance the boy shows
his parentage--his mother is negress
with q strain of Indian blood, while his
father is half white and half Indian.
When he speaks it is with the deliber-
ateness of age, and he at times empha-
sizes his words with vigorous shakes OF
his head. With the lad was his mother.
Speaking of the English revivals, he
said:
1.-THE reason the Welsh revival is
looked up as so remarkable is due to the
fact that q revival in Wales is very
rare occurrence. To an American evan
xelist it would not seen unusual, for l
have seen many REVEALS in this coun-
try which had a wider sweep and were
more effective in their results"
Young Dennis has written book, an
autobiography. In the book he says that
his memory dates from the ninth month
after his birth, and that he can recall
many things that happened to him when
he was but babe in arms. OF his fam
fly he says:
my fathers ancestors were French
and Indian; my mothers African and
Indian. l was born in Atlanta, Ga. Al
though my hair has gradually become
very dark, as baby I was red-headed.
Unlike most babies, did not care to be
rocked to sleep. always tried to chew
my food instead of swallowing it down
like other babies. l walked and talked
fairly well when I was nine months old.
II did .:3t care much for the company
of other Juveniles. When I was two
years o,d had definite impression that
the Lord had a great work for me to do,
and that He would soon call me out to
preach to the people. While still baby
/ would arrange my dolls on chairs and
preach to them"

Discharged After Three Years. serv-
i, ice, She Sues Spouse for
- Nonsupport.

New Bedford, Mass.-Suit for non
support has been brought by Mrs. Hen.
rietta H. Poitras, who.@ after being
legally separated from her husband
returned to the house as his servant
and after three years service was
discharged by him. .A&s#Ss.E
Poitras says he had perfect right
to. discharge his servant, and will
claim that the first adjustment BY the
court of his troubles gave his wife
no more rights than any servant hired
through the agency of an employment
bureau. Ga.$
Mr.. and Mrs. Poitras formerly re-
sided in Canada, and when he left his
fourishing hotel and came to this city
and opened a grocery, his wife trailed
him here and instituted separate main
tenance proceedings. In lieu Of ali
mony, Mrs. Poitras accepted $500, She
went to live in Middleboro, and he re-
NAMED in this city. ':s8 i#}8
After a few months the husband
discovered that he needed house
Keeper and inserted an advertisement
for one. His wife applied for the posi-
ton, and out Of several applicants was
accepted because of her experience In
that line Of work. Under these un-
usual circumstances the two lived TO-
gether.
"A written contract was drawn up
by the husbands attorney, whereby
Mrs. Poitras was to live on the prem
Uses a stranger to her husband, and In
this agreement she consented to be his
servant and housekeeper in payment
for her board. ". E{
Some days ago Mrs. Poitras
claimed that her husband recently dis

into the street. She also said: There
is another woman whose name viii

She was the cause Of our first trouble,

PRODUCES A new FLOWER.
The Head Gardener at Chicago Park
Crosses Cinerarias-Experim
Results in Larger Blooms.


Chicago.-By crossing the stellata
and hybrida varieties of cineraria,
Alois Frey, head gardener at Lincoln
park, has succeeded in producing an
entirely new variety of the beautiful
flower which combines the large plant
of the one with the large bloom Of the
other.
Scores Of the new flowers are now on
exhibition in the Lincoln park con-
servatory and more will be placed
there soon.
The remarkable feature Of the pro-
duction of the new flowers is that they
were produced within year after the
varieties were crossed. So encour-
aged is Mr.. Frey by the success of his
experiment with the cineraria that he
will continue the crossing Of flowers,
hoping next year to produce varieties
that far surpass in beauty and grace
the wonderful results of his first ex-
pertinent.
The cineraria stellata is a large
plant which bears a small flower, less
than an inch in diameter. The cine
Taria hybrida, on the other hand, is
q small plant which bears a large
flower about an inch and a half in d.
ameter.
A year ago MIR. Frey, who does great
deal Of work similar to that Of Luther
Burbank, the celebrated florist Of
California, who has produced hun
dreds of new varieties, concluded that
by crossing the two varieties he might
succeed in producing q new flower
combining the strong qualities of both
and surprising either OF them in
beauty.

Temperance is the word usually en-

this subject; but that term does not
express the idea we mean to convey.
Our contention is not thar intoxica-
ting liqours should be: or may be-,
manufactured, sold or used temper
ately or in moderation; but that they
should not be made, sold or used at
all except for scientific, medicinal OF
sacred purposes. Ii will be borne in
mind that this is a report to a re-

those which are believed to be de-

Honea Path, September Io.-Solic-
itor Cooper is here, acting under Or
ders from Governor Hayward. He is
investigating the case against the
murderers of Allen Pendleton.
He has sworn out warrants against
John Marion Ashley, J. R. Moore,
Josh Moore, Will Moore, Sam Big
by and Hugh Bowen. Sheriff Lyon
is here and will make the arrests
tomorrow morning.
Solicitor Cooper says that he is 60
ing to investigate the case to the bot
tom and prosecute it TO the full ex-
tent of his ability. He did not un-
derstand the message sent him yes
terday morning and sent reply which
was not received here.
Constable Shannon had the negro,
Allen Pendleton, buried yesterday, Or
rather he had the negro dragged on
a slide to a hole, about 200 yards
away, and dumped into it. There was
no coffin nor box, dirt was thrown in,
the hole was partly filled and this
was the burial he received.

GOVERNOR TO MR.. COOPER.
Telegram Advising the Solicitor That
His Presence is Needed at Honea
Path-Substitute at Court.

Governor Hayward last night re-
ceived telegram from Solicitor R.
\. Cooper stating that he had arrived
at Honea Path and had had war
rants issued for the arrest OF the men
who murdered the negro in Abbeville
county, near Honea Path, Saturday
night. Mr. Cooper stated in his tele-
gram that he had expected Sheriff
Lyon OF Abbeville county to meet
him at Horea Path.
Mr.. Cooper went to Honea Path in
response to an urgent telegram from
Governor Hayward stating:
Il am informed that murder has
taken place at Honea Path. Circum-
stances are such that information can
be secured if you go there. | wish
you TO proceed to Honea Path at
once
Have judge appoint some one to
take your place for Laurens court
and if necessary I will defray ex-
penses. Call on me at any time and |
will assist you in any way in my pow
er."
Solicitor Cooper has had many un-
pleasant duties forced upon him in
the six months in which he has been
in Office. First he was called upon the
day he received his commission to
prosecute former school mate who
was charged with having been one
of party which had shot and killed
an old negro who lost his life defend
ing his children from the lash which
the white men came to apply
Then came the finding of the dead
body of a negro floating in Enoree
river The circumstances in this case
were similar to the celebrated Eu-
tawville affair. The third remark
able homicide in the circuit was the
killing of Joe Ben Coleman by Sena-
tor E. S. Rlease.
The last of these crimes, one which
will tax all of the ingenuity, skill
and courage OF the solicitor is the
case at Honea Path. Governor
Hayward stated last night that he is
sure that Solicitor Cooper will do
his full duty and that much good will
be done.

were present; they begged the mob
TO let the law take its course. Mag
istrate Ashley came and joined them
III pleading Tor the negro, and beg
ging the crowd to desert from its pur-
pose. They got promise from the
slain boys father that he would wait
till the people OF the entire community
gathered and leave it with IL influ-
eutial men to say what should be
done with the negro.
They phoned to Donalds and Honea
Path for help to save the negro; but
few mot heads led by John Marion
Ashley, Hugh Bowen and Sam Big
by would listen to no longer de-
lay. and when the men from Donalds
and Honea Path were almost in sight
they carried the negro off and riddled
his body with bullets. The negro's
body was left by the roadside where
it lay till Monday morning without
any one watching over it.
1t is said that the negro's brother
will not come near and it is supposed
that the county will have to bury
him.
The Names Given.
At the inquest over the negro's
body c. E. Harper, John F. Monroe,
Magistrate Melvin Ashley and P. W.
Sullivan testified that they were
present when the crowd carried the
negro off to lynch him: that they
heard them say that they were going
to lynch him: that they saw and recog-
nized John Marion Ashley, Sam Big
by, Hugh Bowen. Bob Moore, Jim
Moore's father. and Josh, John and
Will Moore, his brothers; THAT they
heard them say that they' were going
to lynch him, that they saw them
carry him off, and that in few min
utes they heard several shots fired
in the direction in which the mob
went. They didn't go to the
scene of the killing and didn't see the
negro last night after he was killed.
D. NJ. Humphreys of Donalds was
foreman of the coroner's jury. The
Jury brought in verdict that Allen
Pendleten came to his death by gun
shot and pistol shot wounds inflicted
by parties unknown to the jury.
Solicitor Cooper was phoned to this
morning but replied that he couldn't
come on account of court OPEN
ing in Laurens. 1t is now up to
Governor Hayward, Solicitor Cooper
and the courts to say whether this
murder shall go unavenged.
The boy, who was killed, was about
Fl years old and was drunk when he
was killed. .Coo Moore. his father,
and his brothers are rowdies, and have
been in numerous drunken brawls.
Jim Moore, the boy, who was killed,
ran over J. B. Kay and bruised him
up while Kay was acting police few
months ago. Kay was trying to ar
rest drunken crowd.
The negro, Alien Pendleton, was
very humble negro and it is incon-
ceivable that he should have sought
row with white men. The gener-
al opinion here is that the negro
killed Moore in self-defense, and that
the mob last night murdered the
negro
The people here believe strongly
that the coroner's jury should have
found a bill against those who were
known to be engaged in the murder;
they, further, believe that Solicitor
Cooper and Governor Hayward should
al once take the matter up and that
those guilty should be made to
answer for it.
Governor Heyward's attention has
been called to the matter and it is
believed that he will act at once.

When they arrived at the scene of
