Lancaster, January 21:-Mrs Rob-

call by about 11:30 o'clock to see
Mrs Threath was startled upon
opening the door, when there had
been no response to her repeated
knocking, to find the house full of
smoke and to detect a peculiar odor
as of burnt flesh. Calling a man
nearby the two entered the house
together, and going into the kitchen
found Mrs Threath lying dead upon
the floor about a foot from the
stove. Her whole body, except her
feet, was so badly burned as to

burned.

A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.
Sidney Landon, Character Artist,
ImpersOnator. Delights Audience

Those who missed seeing the ex-
hibition given at the school audi
torium Monday evening by Mr. Sid
ney Landon, impersonator and char
acter delineator, under the auspices
of the local branch of the Alkahest
Lyceum, were deprived of genuine
literary and artistic treat.
Mr. Landon is more than a mere
impersonator-he will make you
think the real, live noted men ne
poartrys are standing, IN propr'a
persona, before you.
Mark Twain and Bill Nye, the
worlds two greatest humorists, to
our mind, were presented in real,
living form, speaking from their
own writings, with characteristic
pose and gesture.
Uncle Silas from Green Corners,
Posey county, Indiana, was :here,
the living, breathing image Of a
rural Westerner transplanted to the
great metropolis. His quaint, droll
philosophy and wholesome, mirth-
provoking humor brought forth
continued laughter and applause.
Then came a re-incarnation of
that erratic genius, the melancholy
Edgar Allan Poe, who recited his
daintily beautiful lines, "Annabel
Lee" "just as students of this strange
brilliant man might imagine him to
have appeared and acted.
But the piscs-de-resistancs of the
whole entertainment was the char
acterization of Robert E Lee, which
was singularly appropriate on the
evening of the gallant VirgiLian's
107th natal anniversary. General
Lees speech on Duty" was more
than impressive, it was almost
sublime, falling from the lips of the
South's great Chieftain, the worlds
incompatible military genius and
natures noblest gentleman. Duty. F"
said General Lee, is the sublimest
word in the English language" a
sentiment that will live as truly as
will the fame of him who uttered
it. Then, again, said he: Never
do a wrong to gain a friend or to
retain one." How different from
the oft-expressed sentiment Of q
certain gentleman, which has been
widely quoted: II stand by my
friends, be they right or wrong"

We were glad to have as a caller
at our office yesterday, our old
friend, Mr. ] L Nesmith, of Fowler.
and to learn from him that his eye
sight, which had at one time be-
came so impaired that he could not
read, and discontinued his subscrip-
ton to The Record, is now much
improved that he has again joined our
army of readers. Mr. Nesmith is
now in his seventy-fourth year,
though he does not look it. He was
one of South Cardinals first sons to
take up arms in the Civil war,
through which he served faithfully,
being twice wounded.
Next Sabbath the Presbyterians
will hold the formal opening service
in their new church. Rev Henry AL
exander White. D D, of the Theo-
logical Seminary at Columbia, will
make the principal address, which
will be a historical survey of the
settlement of this section of the
State. The other churches of the
town will close their doors that day
and worship with the Presbyterians.
It is believed that there will be a
large attendance. Representatives
are expected from all the Presbyte-
rian churches of the Black river Sec
ton, as those churches have all gone
out from Williamsburg, the mother
church.

Coal Mining Activity in
Southern States.

The coal production of 1913
in Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, and the southern APP
palacbian field showed II nor
NAL increase over 1912, accord
ing To advance estimates by
Edward w. Parker, of t Ii e
United States Geological Sur
vey.
Tho production in Maryland
was not materially different
from that of the preceding year
opproXimating 100000 short
tons, and as the "big Vein OF
Maryland is approaching ex-
haustion in many of the larger
operations, any material IN
crease in the output of the
State is not to be expected, al
though there still remain i'm
portant resources OF coal in the
lower and thinner beds.
In Virginia and in West Nir-
ginia the output of coal in 1918
was from TO 40 per cent in eX-
cess OF that in 1912. Labor
troubles in the Cabin Creek and
Paint Creek districts of the
l(anawha field were settled
during the early pnrt of the
year and resulted in the secur-
ing of n foothold by the labor,or-
CARNATIONS in some of the coal
mining districts of the south
ern part Of the State. During
the spring, in addition to the
labor difficulties, shipments to
the West were cut off to some
extent by disastrous floods in
the Ohio Valley region. The
supply o! labor in West Virgin
ia, as in Pennsylvania, was not
equal to the demand, condi-
tion which tended to restict the
production SO that at times the
the railroads in a position to
handle considerably rger
tonnages than the mines were
able to furnish. During the
first half of the year the de-
mand for coke was insistent
and spot prices were good, but
the output was also somewhat
restricted by the shortage in
labor.

ST. Paul Officer Quickly
Freed.

Governor Mann yesterday
granted a conditional pardon
To James Hail, town sergeant
of St. Paul, before he entered
the State pcnitcntiary to begin
serving his two-year term for
the killing of Aledine Kekk, a
hungarian. Hall was convict
ed of mnnslaughter AT the DC
tober term of the circuit court
of Wise county, and was re-
leased on bail when . stay of
sentence was granted. His re-
spite was due to expire tonight,
and had the governor not acted
Hall would have entered the
penitcntiary this morning.
Representations made TO the
governor by prominent citizens
OF st. Paul and officials of Wise
county led him To believe that
Hall shot the Hungarian IN
self defense.
One day last fall Kekk and a
party of seventy drunken min
ers got oil the train at ST. Paul
and began to shoot up the town
aud tcrrify the citizens. Hall,
in his capacity of town sergeant
attempted TO curb the outbreak
aud arrested Kekk as the ring
leader. When tn e sergeant
started off To Jail with his pris.
oner he was followed and sur
rounded by the other miners.
They demanded the surrender
of kekk, and when Hall re-
fused to obey, set upon him
and used him roughly.
In the fight Hall was thrown
TO the ground underneath six
or seven Of the miners. The
officer had drawn his revolver
and this became the object of Il
fierce struggle. 1t is asserted
by Hall that the first shot from
the revolver was fired by kekk
who bent the sergeant's hand
around in the effort to train the
revolver on Halls body. Hal
then succeeded in placing the
pistol against the body of Kekk
who was on top of him, and
pulled the trigger. Kekk was
instantly killed Richmond
