ROOM FILLED VITA SKELETONS.
erewsome Discovery Made In an An.
cient Monattery at carlentlnl.


For nearly 3S years the monastery
at Carlentini, Italy, has been aban-
doned, although the chapel connected
with II has remained open for public
worship. Behind the sacristy 10 q
door which has always been shut and
was believed to lead into one of the
rooms Of the monastery. The other
day the syndic decided to make use
Of this room, SO he had some workmen
open the door. A terrifying spectacle
met their gaze for the room was piled
full Of human skeletons, reaching al
most to the ceiling. The syndic or
dered the skeletons, some of which
were more or less mummified bodies,
to be taken out and buried in the
Campo Santo. They numbered few
over 1000
Naturally, a tremendous sensation
was caused by these discoveries, and
the Widest conjectures given voice
to. According, however, to the oldest
inhabitant of Carlentini, the facts are
as follows: When monks inhabited
the monastery, certain sum was paid
them for the privilege Of sepulture in
the church. The church, however, was
small, and when there was no room
for any more corpses, the monks, rath-
er than lose an important source OF
income, continued to receive bodies
for burial, but instead of depositing
them beneath the floor of the church,
cast them into the rooms behind the
sacristy, or into the pavilions close by,
where they have just been discovered.

THROATs OF THE WARDENS
WE'RE sLAsHED BY THE pEsPER.
ATE LIFE coNvIcTs
Before One Of the Officers Could Shoot
Down His Assailants--Escape
Was Planned.

Deer Lodge, Mont, March 9.--War-
den Frank Conley of the Montana
state penitentiary, was dangerously
wounded and Assistant Warden John
Robinson was killed, when three life
convicts. George Rock, w. II. Hayes
and another whose name is not given,
made a dash for liberty. Robinson's
throat was cut from ear to ear, and
the jugular vein was severed Conley's
throat was gashed, and he was stab
bed several times in the shoulder and
groin before he was able to draw his
revolver and shoot two of his assail-
ants down. Convicts Hayes and Rock
were both shot down by Conley after
the latter had been wounded. II is
believed that the warden will re-
cover.
The attack and attempted escape,
according to the prison authorities,
had been long planned by Rock and
Hayes, who were cellmates. Both we're
armed with penknives, the blades of
which were sharpened like razors.
The three convicts were brought to
the office Of the prison in the court
yard by Deputy Warden Robinson to
be tried for some trivial infraction of
the rules and, Conley was waiting to
sit in judgment. Hayes had for sew
eral months been a "trusty," and had
been given the position as turnkey. He
had been placed in the same cell with
Rock because the authorities believed
he would watch the latter, who had
been regarded as a most desperate
convict.
The moment the men entered the
office door Rock turned swiftly upon
Robinson, who was closing the door,
and, quickly drawing a knife, he be-
gan slashing at the warden's throat
The deputy sank to the floor dying. At
the same moment that Rock attacked
Robinson, Hayes drew a knife and
started for Conley. The latter re-
treated to the rear of the office, but
before he could draw his revolver
Hayes had slashed his throat. The
convict seeing his intended victim ger.
ting away. grappled with him and STAB.

and the groin. Although bleeding ter.
fibly, Conley managed to draw his gun
from his pocket and fired four times,
with the weapon pressed against
Hayes abdomen. AS Hayes sank to
the floor Rock rushed at Conley, who
emptied the remaining cartridges |
into Rock, and the latter also went
down.
The third convict who had been call |
cd to the Office took to his heels at the |
first Of the battle, but was quickly cap |
tured The authorities refused to give
out his name until they have investi. |
gated whether he was concerned in |
the plot or had merely been called &c
the Office at the same time as the
other two.
How the convicts, Hayes and Rock
secured possession Of the knives is a |
mystery. II is believed that the infrac-
lion OF the rules had been planned in
order to reach the warden's Office, |
where they would have more chance ~
making a dash for liberty.
Rock was shot through the lungs |
twice and Hayes three times through
the abdomen. Both are badly wound
ed, but It is believed they will recover
