Murder and Suicide.

There was to have been merry time
Yesterday in the home of Francesca
Montforto, in New York. Beside the
festivities attending the Easter celebrs-
ton, his two sisters and tEo brothers,
whom he hsd not seen since hs left
Sicily years ago, we're at Ellis Island and
we're to join him.
His pretty wife, Felice, twenty years
old a week ago, made elaborate prepara-
tiors for the homecoming, and all Sat-
urday night she was busy decorating the
rooms with flowers and palms and COOK
ing for the morrow. Bright and early
Yesterday, francesca kissed Felice and
their three year-old son and started for
Ellis Island. His cousin, Joseph 0ra-
vagina, entered the home Immediately
after francesca left, walked over to the
side of Frsncesco's wife, threw his arms
around her snd told her she must love
him. She replied she loved him only as
a cousin. Then Joseph drew revolver
and fred three shots at Felice, killing
her. She fell dead in neighbOr's
apartments just scrOss the hall. Joseph
then turned ihe revolver on himself and
fired a shot into his right ear. He died
later in Roosevelt Hospital.
Two hours later, when the excitement
attending the shooting had somewhat
subsidsd, along came francesca with his
brothers and sis'ers. When he entered
his home he saw a figure lying on the
floor covered withs blanket. A police
man broke the news. He took the mat
ter philosOphically, saying, cas- he is
dead, too, there's nothing | can do now"

Minister SUSPENDED.

Because it is alleged he succumbed to
the charm OF Miss Ellen Newly, pretty
young milIiner, whom be says he Is pre-
pairing for foreign missionary work, Rev.
Solon II. Bryan, pastor of the Metbo-
dist Church at Millen, Ga, and one Of
the most prominent ministers In Georgis,
has been suspended and reported to
conference for trial on a charge of i'm
morality.
Mrs. Bryan suspected that q warmer
bond than foreign missions bound Miss
Newly and her husband, and she re-
proved the latter. Mr.. Bryan stOrmed
at his wife so loudly that neighbors over
heard. Presiding Elder Lovett went to
Millen yesterday and held preliminary
trial, and Bryan vas suspended. An
gered by the outcome of the trial, Mr.
Bryan went homo and whipped bis wife,
so neighbOrs say. These neighbOrs had
Bryan arrested for wife-beating and he
was placed in jail.
About 10 O'Clock Saturday night Mn
Bryan went 10 Jail, gave bond for her
husband, and took him home. She
says she did not want the father OF her
baby In jill. Mrs. Bryan has a small
fortune and is very pretty.

We were out on Kennesaw Avenue as
lar as the Wilder place last Thursday
and were greatly surprised at the
amount of good substantial work done
Dy the city on that street. The hill in
front of Milam's aad the one in front Of
Mr' Squires, have both been cut down
to level grade to the corporate line,
and there the county has taken up the
work and extended it on beyond the
Wilder place. The work is substantial,
with q good layer of gravel surface.
The citizens on that street are very
much pleased and gratified at having
their street placed in such fine condi-
ton. 1t enhances the value of the pro-
perty and makes it easy for travel. The
cutting down of the hill at the turn of
the road going to Wilder's is great
improvement. The people are loud in
their praise of Mayor Dobbs and Coun-
ell for what they have done.
