WOMAN PERISHES.
Mrs. Mollie Sloan, of Pacolet, Meets
Fearful Death.

Spartanburg, Feb. 5.-Mrs. Mollle
White Sloan, aged so years, wife OF
A. F. Sloan, a well-to-do merchant
and farmer of Pacolet, committed
suicide this morning by locking her
self in an outbuilding and setting fire
to the building. The building was
burned completely. and when her re-
mains were extricated from the
charred timbers. the body was burned
beyond recognition. Strong cords
we're found about the limbs. and it
is believed that, after setting fire to
the building, Mrs. Sloan hung her
self. III health, which impaired the
mind, was the cause of her suicide.
It was carefully planned, deliberate
taking Of life.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Sloan came
to Spartanburg. Mrs. Sloan, who
was seldom left alone. was feeling so
well that her son said that he believed
that he would step down to the store.
This left Mrs. Sloan alone with only
the colored woman who did the house
work. When the colored woman
went upstairs to sweep and make up
the beds, Mrs. Sloan locked all the
doors of the house so that the ne
gress could not interfere in any way
with her plans. Mr.. Sloan had new
rope at the house which was lying on
the back piazza. Mrs. Sloan took
this rope and the kerosene can and
went to the outbuilding.
Directly the negro woman upstairs
saw a blaze in the direction of the
barn, and thinking the stables were
afire and the horses might get burn
ed, she ran down stairs to tell Mrs.
Sloan. She found the door to Mrs.
Sloan's room locked. She then
rushed to the back door, but it was
locked. Finding all the doors locked,
the negro woman jumped out Of a
back window and gave the alarm.
Neighbors rushed to the scene and
began to fight fire to keep the barn
and stables from catching. The build
ing was totally destroyed. AS they
fought the flames one Of the men no.
ticed a human foot. The body Of
Mrs. Sloan, charred beyond recogni-
ton, was pulled from the smoking
embers.
Coroner Turner was notified of the
suicide, and he left on the morning
train. When he arrived on the scene
he found there were no suspicious of
foul play, and he considered it un-
necessary to hold an inquest. The
body of Mrs. Sloan was almost COM
pletely cremated.
Mrs. Sloan had been in bad health
for the past two or three years, and
for the last several months her con-
dition was such that it was not
deemed advisable for her to be alone.
Some members of the family always
kept close and watched over her.
1t is said that some two years ago
she attempted to set fire to her cloth
