Death of a Man Eater
From the Malay Mail.

From the Malay Mail
 On the morning of Thursday three Chi
 nese woodcutters left their kongsi home situated at the ninth mile. Aver Hitam road, thirteen and a half miles from Kajang. and went into the jungle to work.
 At a. m at a point about one and a half miles from the road, a tiger sprang out behind them. and one of them hit him on the head with a backward stroke of parang, laying bare the bone of the skull, as afterward appeared. The tiger did not at that time seize any of the men, who went on to their usual working places. About Il 80 a. m. one of them was saving alone in small clearing. a mile further in, was killed by the tiger and his body carried away. The tracks showed that the tiger had systematically hunted up his man along the jungle path.
 The next day search party from Ka- jang went out, the body was found and Mr. Hay set a spring gun, the report of which was heard at the kongsi house soon after midnight In the morning the spot was visited again, blood was seen and the signs of a tremendous leap made by the tiger. A few yards away he was found dead with wound in his flank. He was brought to Kajang the same night and on being measured was found to be feet inches in length. In the process of skinning two cuts were found on one of the hind legs, and 1t seems possible that they were the cuts which woodcutter stated he had inflicted on tiger with an axe a month or two ago.

Montgomery, February 12.-(Special)- The capitol is closed today out of re- spect to the memory of Chief Justice Thomas N. Mcclellan. who died last Sat urday, and was buried this afternoon at his home in Athens. The big doors at the front are barred and streamers of black are entwined about all three of the veran- das The governor is out of the city. hav- ing left for New York last night, and several of the heads of departments are at Athens for the funeral. Some of the employees are at work catching up with the rush of three days correspondence, but many are not at their desks at all
 There are, however, two subjects Of conversation that find many following them up in the state house and about the city today namely the lynching at Gads- den Saturday night and the possible sue cessor to the late Chief Justice McClel- Ian on the bench Both are gossiped about generally and while there can be no definiteness about either one of the out comes. there may be gatherd much that is interesting in what has been and is be- ing said. Especially Is this so of the lynching. It is safe to say that few men see anything in the world to excuse the wanton act of the mob in this instance. They point out that the negro who was hanged was not even under indictment much less conviction, and that the chances are an innocent man has been sent to his death.
 Look for Justice.
 There is a well defined approval of the assertion of the governor that every force and power of the state will be called into play to bring the lynchers to justice. Off, icials agree that it ought not to be hard to get evidence enough to indict those who took part in the work of the mob, especially as it is understood here that the best people fin the county feel out ragged over the lawless act. It is also known that Sheriff Chandler Is a very active and vigorous officer, and that he will leave no stone unturned to bring about punishment of the guilty. He was not able to discover any of the men who aakere in the party, but it is thought here that the disposition of the general run of people to talk 1t will not take long to se- cure good working clues.
 Though no such thing has been dis cussed in this case, 1t is not at all in- probable that detectives will be sent into the county to secure evidence. This was projected some time ago, but the plan has never been put into execution here tofore. However the governor Is very much in earnest and it Is safe guessing that he will do everything possible to bring about the punishment of the guilty

Cheers Are Given. Almost immediately Midshipman Arthur
 Frank, cadet commander of the brigade, called for three cheers for those about to
 leave us, and the youths who have more years at the institution before them gave the cheers with will. This was replied
 to by the graduates, who gave three cheers for those we leave behind us." Commander T. G. Dewey of the depart

 manded the brigade, then called for three cheers for the Secretary of the Navy. The official party then left the armory and went at once to the home of Superin- | tendent Sands, where a luncheon was served. Secretary Bonaparte returned to Baltimore in the afternoon.

SPECULATION REGARDING
 SUPREME COURT PLACE

Talk of the succession to the supreme court bench runs largely to Associate Justice John R. Tyson for the chief jus ticeship to succeed the late Chief Justice
 Mcclellan. with some intimation that the governor will quite likely go out of the
 county for man to take his place. It
 is thought now that if Tyson is named,
 A. II. Merrill of Eufaua. will be the
 associate. There is also much talk of s.
 D. weakley of Birmingham, getting the
 chief justiceship Many believe that if
 Tyson is appointed A. D. Sayre, now
 judge of the city court of Montgomery,
 will succeed him. though others seem
 to think that if one Montgomery man is
 chosen there will be no more. An impress
 sion also prevails that If Sayre should
 be named, w. II. Thomas, now judge of the criminal branch would be given his place and Solicitor S. H. Dent made criminal judge.
 And so the story goes along Objec- tons are offered pro and con to all the
 applicants save possibly Judge Tyson, who seems to play favorite In the spec ula ton. Merrill is resident of the home town of the governor, Weal1ley is a law partner of the brother-in-law of the gov ernor. the promotion of Tyson would arouse objection to taking another man from Montgomery county, and many con- tend that to commence showing up along the judicial line in Montgomery would be
 too much like trying to produce multi | tude of vacancies.
 Haralson Talks.
 Others think that possibly the ques- tion will be settled by the appointment
 of Justice Haralson to the post, as he is the oldest man on the bench and not a few think that in any shuffle of the ju- dicial cards II. s. D. Mallory of Selma, chairman of the state democratic commit tee. would be seriously considered for honors.
 With all the talk. however, nothing will be done for a couple of weeks yet. The governor will not get back before Sat
 urday and then he will have to go into the case fully before making up his mind
 what to do. There will be so many good men urged that 1t is not going to be an
 easy task to make a selection. While
 those who are appointed will have to run again this fall, it Is regarded that even so short a time in the position will
 be a great advantage. Without any kind
 of prejudice to any man or following 1t is
 nothing but the truth to say that in Mont
 gomery more people think that Tyson
 will be promoted and Sayre given his
 place than expect any other outcome of
 the situation. Sayre was given large
 vote at the last election for one of the associates.

and since the adoption OF recent
constitutional amendment special laws
oan not be passed, nor can they be
amended. Unfortunately for Duluth
all three of the cities Of the state over
$4,000 in population are working under
separate special laws.
You can readily see how difficult
it would be to pass a general law
that would be satisfactory to the men,
bers of the Legislature from the three
cities.
The situation In the three cities is
about as follows: In Minneapolis the
members of the Board of Education
st. Paul they are appointed by the
Mayor. and in Duluth they are elected
at a regular school election.
Il believe that a bill could be in
troduced and passed which would
provide for school elections in cities
of over $4,000 Inhabitants, so that the
hours Of election would be between
a. m. and p. m. This would no,
interfere with Minneapolis, because
these are the regular election hours ir
that city. 1t would not interfere with
St. Paul, because there Is no election
| there. 1t would only pertain to Du
luth, and hence ought to receive un.
animous support of the Legislatures
If I am reelected to the Senate
shall do my utmost to secure the
passage of such a law"
