Death of Master Rutherford Mell
Yesterday Morning.
SICK ONLY ONE WEEK.
A Bright. Talented and Promising Young Life
Comes to a Close—The Funeral Will be
Meld This Morning at the First
Baptist Church.
This has been a gloomy week for
Athens, as the shadow of the death an
gel has been cast over three happy
homes in as many days.
Yesterday morning about one o’clock,
Rutherford Mell, the 11-year-old sou of
Mr. George A. Mell, passed away at the
home of his father on Milledge avenue,
after a brief illness.
Less than a week since he was in good
health, the pride and happiness of his
fond father. Suddenly came the stroke
of that fatal disease, meningitis, and
despite the most careful and skillful at
tention the bright yonng boy sneenmbed
yesterday morning
The death of his only boy, following
so close upon other losses in his family,
is a severe shock to Mr Moll, a misfor
tune ami a grief in which he has the
heartfelt sympathies of hosts of friends.
Kntherford was a bright, talented,
promising boy. The days of young boy
hood were passing rapidly and the age
of young manhood was almost before
him. "His snn has gone down while it
is yet day," but surely it must he that
the gentle Master has His own good
reason in calling him so early to his
celestial home.
The funeral services will be held this
morning at eleven o’clock at the First
Baptist church, and the remains will
be interred in Oconee cemetery.
SIXTH IMMUNES
Muttered Out In Savannah and Celebrated
Event.
Savannah, G'a , March 16.—The Sixth
United States volunteer infantry (im-
mnnes) was mustered out here today.
It was a white regiment. The men
were from North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky. In consequence of the
regiment seen service in Porto Rico, the
men received two months pay extra.
They were paid this morning. Each
private received an average of $125.
Discharge papers were given the men at
the time they got their wages. Five
special trains, over four roads, left the
city tonight for the accommodation of
the ex-soldiers.
During the day the men behaved ex
cellently. As one train was polling ont
tonight there was a liberal discharge of
firearms. It was reported that there
had been a riot, and that the regulars
had been ordered out. But that was in
correct. It seems that some of the men,
in exuberance of gladness at having es
caped military discipline, celebrated by
firing pistols into the air and shooting.
About 100 shots were fired. No damage
age was done, aud no arrests made.
Fonr of the trains left with utter absence
of boisterous demonstration. There was
a minimum of drunkenness, and no dis
orderly conduct of any sort in the city.
Not one child dies where ten formerly

the value of One Minute Cough Cure

St. Louis, March 16 —The best men
j on the force of Chief of Detectives Des
mond are engaged today in looking for
an unknown woman who called at the
residence of Mrs. M. F. McVean, a
widow, and threw vitriol in the latter’s
face, blinding her and causing barns
that may result fatally.
Several weeks ago Mrs. McVean
caused a sensation by appearing at po
lice headquarters with a box of candy
which she httd received through the
mails.
She charged a prominent young wo-
j man of this city with having sent it to
j her because she was jealous of the at
tentions paid Mrs. McVean by a well-
1 known West End physician.
I Mrs. McVean is unconscious and
1
blind. Her family and physicians will
not permit her to be seen.
Before becoming unconscious, Mrs.
McVean told her sister, Miss McGraw,
that a strange woman, whom she des
cribed, called her to the door by ringing
the bell and threw the contents of a
bottle into her face
No person other than Mrs. McVeau
saw the acid thrown; no one saw the
strange woman about the place.

Palmetto, Ga., March 16 —A mob of
more than 100 desperate men, armed
with Winchesters and shotgnns and
pistols and wearing masks, rode into
Palmetto at 1 o’clock this morniug aud
shot to death fonr negro prisoners, des
perately wonnded another and with de
liberate aim fired at four others, wound
ing two, believing'the entire nine had
been killed.
The boldness of the mob and the des-
perateness with which the murders was
contemplated and executed, has torn
the little town with excitement and
anxiety.
All business has been suspended, and
the town is under military patrol, and
every male inhabitant in armed to the
teeth, in anticipation of an outbreak
which is exjiected tonight.
L ist night nine negroes were arrested
and placed in the warehouse near thri
depot. The negroes were charged with
the burning of the two business blocks
here in February.
At 1 o’clock this morning the mob
dashed down iuto town while the people
slept.
They rushed to the warehouse in
which the nine negroes were guarded by
six white men.
The door was bursted open and the
guards were ordered to hold up their
hands.
Then the mob fired two volleys iuto
the line of trembling, wretched aud
oieading prisoners, and to make sure of
their work, placed pistols in the dying
men’s faces and emptied the chambers.
Citizens who were aroused by the
shooting aud ran oat to investigate,
were driven to their homes at the point
of gnus and pistols and then the mob
mouuted their horses and dashed out
of town, back into the woods and home
agaiu.
None of the mob was recognized,
their faces were completely concealed by
masks. Tfce men did their work orderly
aud cooly aud exhibited a determination
seldom equalled under similar circuit
stauces.
Negroes Were Helpless Victims.
The nine negroes were tied with ropes
and were helpless.
The guard was held at the muzzl j of
guns aud threatened with death if
man moved.
Then the firing was deliberately done,
volley by volley.
The negroes now dead are:

Secretary Long Orders Cruiser Chicago to Meet
the Paris and Take Sherman Aboard.
Washington, March 16.—A telegram
was received at the White House today
from Col. Gate Hoyt, who is a traveling
companion of ex-Secretary Sherman,
dated at Port de France, Island of Mar
tinique, announcing that Mr. Sherman
is suffering from an attack of pneumo
nia, and requesting that he be brought
to the United States on a government
vessel
The message was sent to the navy de
partment and Secretary Long immedi
ately gave the orders necessary to
oomply with the wish. It was
found that the Chicago was jost
about due at Havana, and a cable
gram will be sent to that point to have
the ship proceed at once to Kingston,
Jamaica, to meet the Paris and take Mr.
Sherman off. Unless this is done Mr.
Sherman must remain on the ship two
weeks, or the excursion the ship carries
mast be abandoned.
The Chicago is provided with a medi
cal officer, so that the patient will have
the best of attention on the homeward
journey. He will probably be taken on
board the warship Sunday or Monday
and should arrive at Hampton Roads
about a week from today. There he
can be taken aboard one of the Potomac
river steamers and brought to Wash

MR-GLENN’S FUNERAL-
Services Over the Remains of Distinguished
Atlanta Lawyer.
Atlanta, Ga., March 16.—The late
John Thomas Glenn was laid to rest
the Grant vault at Oakland yesterday
afternoon.
The funeral was one of the largest
that has occurred in Atlanta for many
years, and was conducted from the
First Presbyterian church, of which
congregation Mr. Glenn was an old and
active member.
The auditorium of the church was
densely crowded with the relatives aud
friends of the deceased, who had gatlr
ered to pay a last sad tribute to the well
known citizen.
The services were condncted by Rev.
Henry MacDonald,, of the Second Bap
tist church, and Rev. Orme Flynn, of
the Ninth Presbyterian church, and
were beantifnl in their simplicity. No
sermon was preached, bat the remarks
of both ministers were words of promise
for the spirit of the man who had passed
away, and condolence to those who sur
vive him.
The altar was a mass of beautiful
floral offerings from friends, and the
casket itself was covered with a pro
fusion of flowers. Lovely flowers of all
kinds were woven into beautiful designs
and heaped upou the casket until it was
almost hidden from sight.
A broken wheel of roses, the offering
from the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraterni
ty of the University of Georgia, of
which Garrard Glenn is a member, rested
at the head of the casket. At the foot
was a bouquet of hyacinths and roses
sent by the high school classmates of
Miss Helen Glenn, and the design from
the Atlanta Bar Association was very
large and handsome.
There is no medicine that has yet
been discovered that has virtues deserv

Department Determined to Get Them as Far
North as Savannah Before Quarantine
Laws Are Effective.
Washington, March 16.—Savannah
has notified the war department that it
will probably enforce the quarantine
laws after April first. As the war de
partment is especially anxions to master
oat troops in the sonth, it will rash as
many regiments to Savannah as possible
between now and the first of April.
General Corbin said this morning that
the department had secured two extra
transports from the Ward line and that
they hoped to get all the volunteers out
of Cuba by the 10th of April at least.
General Corbin says the department is
anxions to prevent any transportation
of disease into the sonth as the south’s
quarantine officers, brft that it will be
very dangerous to bo forced to carry
troops from the tropics to Camp Meade
either during this month or the month
of April.
Besides, if _ mustered out at Camp
Meade blaukets and overcoats will be
required, and these will all have to
come out of the soldiers’ pay. For this
reason the department has put forth
strenuous efforts to have all volunteers
brought back by April first.
For quick aud positive relief from a
cold or cough Dr. Sawyer’s Wild Cherry
and Tar has no equal. Try it aud you
will recommend it. Warren J. Smith &

Havana, March 16 —General Gomez
has decided to proceed with the plans
agreed upon for distributing the $3,000,-
000 to the Cuban troops, on disbanding,
as tbongb the military assembly did not
exist. Ho conferred for two hours to
day with Governor General Brooke re
garding the details.
General Brooke asked Washington
several days ago whether in case he dis
solved the assembly his action would be
approved. The cable reply authorized
him to dissolve that body, if, in his
judgment, such an act was necessary.
He hopes the assembly will soon cease
of its own accord to hold its sessions,
but should sessions disquieting to the
public mind continue, he will intervene.
