Rome, July 27. The Vatican re sembles an ant hill, |0 feverish is the work of preparing a partol' that build ing for the meeting of the conclave. The section destined for the conclave comprises, on the ground floor of the Vatican, three suites of rooms, which surround the famous court of San Da masco, tlie rooms under the late Pope’s apartment, and the tower with tiie rooms about the sala ducale. On the second floor rooms about the Log gia Raphael and the pontifleiai office, comprising all the apartments form erly occupied by Cardinal Rani po)la. who has left the Vatican altogether, will be used.

Some of them insisted on the necessity of not allowing the occasion to pass without a protest against the occu pancy of pontifleiai territory by Italy, thereby showing that the papacy is determined to maintain its claims un abated.

BRUNSWICK, GA., TUESDAY MORNIN. JULY 28, 1903. POISONED HUSBAND •••■* ‘ **j i' l • .f 1 ••* • Negroes Think Geo. Mack was Poisoned By His Wife CARRIED HIM ICE CRBAM Negro and His Wife Had Been Separ ated—He Became lli, She Called With Cream and He Died y • Few Hours Later. \ \ * Geo. Mack, a well known negro, died very suddenly Sunday night and many negroes of the city are under the im pression that his death was due to poisoning lit the hands of his wife, from whom he had been separated for somife time, It seems that Mack became slightly ill Saturday and sent for Buggs, the colored doctor, who was attending him.. The wife of Mack learned that lie was ill and went to the house on Albany street where her husband rented a room. Sunday afetrnoon the man was up and about and the colored physician announced that ho was adiout well. However, the wife came to see him Sunday afternoon and hrougiht along some ice cream and soup. Late in the afternoon Mack ate the ice cream. The wclman stated that she would remain there during the night, aud some time before yesterday she awoke others in the house and announced that her husband was dead, and it seems to he the opinion of those best acquainted with Mack and the woman, who he had not seen for some time, put som poiisonous drug in the cream. The colored physician was notitted hut he refused at first to issue a death certificate and Corornor Jennings was notified. The law says that where there is an attending physician no inquest is necessary, unless someone makes tile charge that the dead person came lo liis deah from poison. As this charge was not made by any one, Cororner Jennigs, of course, did not hold an -inquest, and the negro was buried yes terday afternoon. Another strange occurence about the death is that when the cororner went to the house yesterday afternoon anil asked where the wite of Mack was, ~e was informed that she had secured a dray and removed all of her dead husband’s belongings to the home ol her father, where she had been living since they separated, and she has not since been around her dead husband.
