A SMOKING TREE
Excites the Citizens of Norcross.
Hereto a strange story from Nor
cross.
It sounds more Ukc one of Baron
Munchatnen’8 tales than a real occur
reuce, but is vouched for by tbe best
neople of Gwinnett county, among
them Colonel George H. Jones, princi
pal keeper of the penitentiary.
Among the good peopl.e living in the
tittle town of Norcr >ss, upon tbe Air
Line road, is Dr. McDaniel.
In hi$ front yard and quite .near to
the veranda grows an ordinary, every
day mulberry tree.
There is apparently nothing unusual
about this tree, or at least there was
not until yesterday afternoon, when it
created a sensation in Norcrhss. ,
Mrs. McDaniel;, who waa sitting on
the front veranda enjoying the beauti
ful evening; bippened to look up into
the mulbeny tree. What waa her as
tonishment to see.-a puff of smoke
emerge from one of tbb limbs and go
floating through tbe budding leives.
She rubbed her eye to see if it was
not an optical delusion, but when she
looked again she saw another miff Of
smoke spring from another lipib and
go floating »a the other bad dohe.
She called to her husband the tree
was on fire. The doctor came out and
waa no leas astonished than hia wife
for the whole .tree wa$ puffiing smoke
It came out in jets from the limbs like
a boy smoking a cigarette.
Tbe doctor climbed into the tree, but
could see nothing unusual abodt it, not
a place in tbe bark being broken.
Tbe smoke was oozing from the bark
and could be plainly seen as it floated
off on the breeze. There was no odor
to it whatever, but it was white in oolor
and looked like tobacco smoke.
Dr. McDaniel called in his neighbors
representatives of tbe Episcopal dele
gates from all over Georgia.
The death of Bishop John W. Beck

New Yore, May 14.-Advices from
near Currientex, Argentine republic,
give details of the murder of a family of
tour by order of the Mafia.
They were Ricardo Monari. hia wife
and two sons. They had incurred the
enmity of Duigi Zoluzzi because they
did not encourage his attentions to Leo
nora Spacci, a niece of Monari'a wife,
who lived with them.
Monari and Zoluzzi hnd several quar
rels, and in February Monari received a
note signed " Roberto Fronconi, Presi
dent of the Mafia," conftnanding him to
give Leonora to Z.fln«ri under penalty
of death.
Again he refused Zoluzzfs demand for
the girl.
While the family slept, six masked
men, with knives, entered the house,
and the elder Monari was stabbed and
killed.
The noise aroused the others, and in
the fight that ensued Zoluzzi, Mrs. Mo
nari and two more were killed.
Leonora escaped by hiding.
The Mafia then put the bodies in sacks
and threw them into the river, but they
afterwards floated and were found.
Documents on Zuluzzi's body showed
that he and his companions were mem
bers of the Mafia.
