Body Returned in Coffin.

Shellman, April 13.-Particularly
gruesome are the details connected
with the return of the body of Ross
Manor to his father, J. B. Manor,
last night. Manior was killed last
Friday night, it is stated, in an en-
counter with the negro Alfred Iver-
son, whom Manor and his compan-
ions had attempted to whip. The
members Of the mob carried away
the lifeless. body of their comrade
after he and the negro had been
killed. It was discovered that
Manior was missing.
His father was told to place cof-
fin in a certain spot. He complied
and the decomposed body of young
Manor, half clad, was found in the
coffin when the father returned. The
members of the mob are unknown.

PREFERRED DEATH TO CELL.
Noted DIR. Rosa Monnish Kills Her.
self in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, April 19.-Prefer-
ring the chill of the grave to the
chill of a prison cell, and the shroud
to the garb of a convict, DR.. Rosa S.
Monnish drank prussic acid and died
to-day an hour after she had been
sentenced to serve two years in the
Federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth, Kansas. Deputy United
States marshals, in whose charge
she had been placed, found her after
they had broken open the. door to
her room.
Mrs. Monnish has been more or
less in the public eye in the South
for several years. She built a sani-
tarium in the most aristocratic part
of Atlanta a few years ago, despite
the efforts of neighbors to prevent
the opening of the place. Later her
methods came under the scrutiny of
the postoff1ce inspectors, but it was
not until she had trouble with her
husband that the officers could get
evidence against her. They charged
her with sending improper and
threatening letters to a young wo-
man and secured her conviction. Her
attorneys applied for a new trial,
and it was overruled this morning
by Federal Judge Newman, who at
once sentenced DR.. Monnish to serve
one year and one day In prison; and
to pay a fine OF $1,000 on each Of
two counts.
DR.. Monnish tainted when the SEN
tence was imposed, but recovered
and asked to go to her home. The
officers consented, simply stipulating
that they lock her in her room and
remain on guard outside. While her
attorneys were preparing an appeal
bond she accompanied the officers in
cab to her home, and went to her
room. About 2 p. m. the guards call
ed to her to come to luncheon. Re-
ceiving no reply, they, forced the
door and found their aged prisoner
dead on her bed.
DR.. Monnish was sixty years of
age, and besides her husband, also a
physician, she leaves a daughter,
Jeanette, aged 13.

INDIANS LIKE LUxUR1Es.
Furnish Homes with Opera Chairs
and Travel in q Hearse.

Nowhere is the Indians simple
mindedness more apparent than In
the homes. They are either devoid
of furniture or crowded with encum-
brances. The occupants possess
iron and brass bedsteads or display
as their chief treasure highly pol
ished, elaborately carved folding-bed, !,
never used. Rolling themselves in
blankets, they seek repose on the
floor.
One home boasts as its principal
furniture four opera chairs of uphol-
stored leather, with movable seats,
such as are to be found in any the
atre.
"A Spokane Indian was the proud
possessor of a shining black hearse,
bearing four huge ornamental sable
plumes. Riding his cayuse into town
one day he encountered a funeral.
The hearse caught his fancy; he fol-
lowed the procession, awestruck, to
the cemetery. Nothing would do but
that he must have the grand chariot
for his own. Disposing Of some
land, he purchased the hearse and
was wont to take his wife and numer-
Gus children out for drive sitting
on the floor of the hearse, bouncing
from glass side to glass side as the
road became rough, trying to appear
dignifled and noncha@ant, but grin
ming literally from ear to ear, the
brave on the box outside the proudest
man in America.-The Delineator for

Tragedy in Folding Bed.

New York, April 19.-The folding
bed accident which used to be COM
mon some years ago before the
patent beds were as well construct
ed as now, has caused the death of
James F. Maher, a feather curler in
Williamsburg.
During the night the bed began to
rise as if pushed by an unseen
hand, pinning both Maher and his
wife, despite their struggles and ef-
forts to release themselves.
A son, who was sleeping on the
floor above heard his parents cries
and ran to their assistance, but be-
fore he could extricate them, Maher
expired. Mrs. Maher was taken out
unconscious. She is little the worse
for the experience.

Chester Kennedy Granted Bail.

At Aiken last Monday morning
Chester Kennedy, white, of Barn
well, who is charged with promot-
ing the murder of Perry, Ussery,
also white, applied to Judge r. c.
Watts for release on bail. He has
been confined since his arrest in the
Barnwell jail. =:
It will be recalled that Ussery was
killed in Barnwell during the time q
carnival was in the town. No mo-
tive could be ascribed for the crime,
as Ussery was not known to- have
had any enemies. Suspicion was
directed toward Quitman Johnson,
negro, as circumstantial evidence
against him was strong, and he was
arrested on the streets in Aiken. He
was subsequently conveyed to Co.
lumbia for safe keeping and later
carried to Barnwell for trial.
Being convicted he made con-
fession and said he murdered Ussery
by mistake, having intended to kill
Marvin Holland. He said in his
confession that Chester Kennedy
hired him to kill Holland and he
was the man he intended to shoot.
He was to have been paid, he said,
by Kennedy and also by woman in
Augusta, whose name was not an
nounced, but whose name is said to
be known.
Another negro; Grubbs, was also
convicted with Johnson, but was
recommended to mercy. He main
tains his innocence.
The Judge granted bail to Ken
nedy in the sum of $4,000.

MECKLENBURG HOTEL BURNED.
Beautiful Frame Structure at Chase
City Completely Destroyed.

Danville, Va, April 16.-The
beautiful Mecklenburg hotel at
Chase City, 70 miles east of this city,
on the Keysville and Durham
branch of the Southern railway,
was totally destroyed by fire this aft
ernoon. The hotel was an expen-
sive frame structure built 10 years
ago by the Mecklenburg Springs
corporation at a cost, including fur
nishings, of 100000. At the time
of the fire it was owned by the estate
of NJ. L. T. Davis, of Norfolk, and
was leased and managed by w. T.
Hughes, who had conducted it for
several years. The owners carried
only $4,000 insurance on the hotel
and equipment. Only about thirty
guests were registered at the hostel
ry at the time of the fire. The struc-
ture, situated on an eminence just
outside of town, had 200 guest
chambers, all we'll furnished.
The flames were discovered by
guests on the lawn who saw smoke
issuing from the slate roof and the
alarm was given Immediately, but
the fire-fghting facilities were
wholly inadequate to cope with the
fire. All of the guests escaped and
most Of them saved all their per-
sonal belongings.

FOUR CATTLEMEN LYNCHED.
Mob Formed in Commercial Club
Without Attempt at Concealment
or Disguise.

Ada, Okla, April 19.-Four
prominent cattlemen were to-day
taken from the city jail here and
lynched by mob of 100 citizens.
The victims are: J. B. Miller, Fort
Worth, Texas; B. B. Burrell, Dun
can, Okla; Jesse West, and Joe AL
len, Canadian, Texas.
The mob is said to have organized
in the Commercial Club rooms and
marched to the Jail at 8 o'clock a. m.
to-day. One man stood guard at the
prison and he was quickly overpow-
cred and the four prisoners seized,
taken to a nearby barn and hung
from the rafters. The bodies were
cut down about 9 o'clock this morn
ing. There was little excitement
during the lynching.
The men were held on the charge
of completely in the murder Of For
mer United States Marshall Bobbitt,
near Ada, last February. Bobbitt
was shot from ambush on his way
home. The examining trial was held
Thursday, but no indictment was
ever returned. Miller has killed six
men in his time and was "chum"
of the late Pat Garrett, the famous
man-hunter, and was with Garrett
when he was killed at Las Cruces.
The mob was composed Of many
prominent citizens Of the city and
only few were masked. -,
The authorities were powerless to
prevent the lynching, as the early
hour placed them at disadvantage.
The entire formation OF the mob and
the lynching which followed were
performed in a most methodical
manner.

No Lynchers Arrested.

So intense was the feeling during
the preliminary hearing of the men
that Judge Brown prohibited the
publication of the evidence. Burrell
was a nephew of Miller and turned
States evidence against Miller and
told of the complete plans of West
and Allen to murder Bobbitt, long
time enemy of both. No arrests of
lynchers have been made yet.

The Way the Money Goes.

An Atlanta man just back from
Panama gave these figures and facts
to the Spartanburg Herald on satur-
day: ,..
There are now Ill steam shovels
at work, digging out five cubic yards
each, every II seconds. There is a
great contest going on on the 18TH
mus between steam shovel men as to
who can show the best report at each
weeks end in the canal record so
old man Yardeye' is boss on the
isthmuS.
The big dam at Gatun is a Won
der. It is really a mountain being
thrown across the Chrages river val"
ley. It is to be 5000 feet long, 49,
900 thick and 1875 feet high. This
great dam is necessary to hold back
the sudden rise in the Chrages river,
which has been known to rise Is feet
in six hours. This is not surprising,
though, considering the fact that the
rainfall recorded on the canal has
been known to reach seven inches in
four hours. This great dam will
make a great inland sea, which ma
terially aids the furnishing of wa
terway across the isthmus, reducing
materially the amount Of digging
necessary. 1t will also furnish the
base of the great electric power
which will be used for running the
Panama railroad trains and moving
the great gates of the locks as well
as to furnish motive power for many
manufacturing plants destined to
spring up on the isthmus. ~.
For many Of the Americans have
found pleasant place to live down
there where it's summer all the time
and with a death rate less than that
of Georgia they are satisfied to cast
their lot there for life.
The figures shown of the work are
large. Every two minutes ton OF
coal is burned up at Panama, every
minute twelve carloads of rock and
gravel are torn from the earth,
every hour 1866 pounds of dyna-
mite are exploded in mountain and
jungle, every minute s124 is spent
for labor.
The American mechanic on the
steam shovels and in the shops gets
about 65 cents per hour and his
room, lights, bath and service are
furnished him. If he is married,
quarters are furnished, meals are
served at 30c each. The fare is
good. ....
The visitor to the isthmus in 1915
will have many pleasant scenes to
meet his eye. He will doubtless dis
embark at Colon and take the electric
car line across the isthmus. He will
see his ship glide through the locks
at Gatun. He will then pass on
through the magnificent tropical
foliage skirting the way; pass En-
pire on to Culebra, where he will
take dinner at the great tourist hotel,
which will be built there on the
mountains. He will then enjoy a
magnificent view, catching a glimpse
here of both the Atlantic and Pa
cific. In the afternoon the visitor
will go on past Nura Floris (look at
the flowers,) on past the locks at
Bosopisbo and as the westering sun
is throwing great bars of light across
Panama. Bay-making gold the tops
of the big Arem hospital, and en-
bark again in his ship as she weighs
anchor in Panama harbor.

The Lion and the ..Man-Eater. J"

There is distinction in Africa between
ordinary lions and man-eaters." The ordi-
nary lion does not wilfully attack man.
The presence Of lions roaming at night on
the veldt is not disturbing to any native
nor to whites who have come to under
stand the beast. Persons returning to their
camps after nightfall do not notice the
roaring Of lions or the cries of leopards
and hyenas.
1t is seldom that people bent upon
domestic errands carry weapons in
the darkness, although at night the
veldt OF British East Africa is alive with
roaming beasts, which may be heard from
the verandas of the houses. Lions give
the passing man q wide berth, day or
night, when it is apparent that he means
no mischief. An ordinary lion, even
when wounded, will try flight before fight.
When its escape is disputed, it will, es-
pecially il wounded, try to maui its enemy
with teeth and claws. A lion hunt is usu-
ally Q chase into combat.
Once Q lion has tasted human blood.
however, it is no more afraid Of man, but
larns that he is the weakest of animals
and choicest of meat. Such q lion is
known as Q man-eater because he hunts
man.
