Prison When Beneficiary I/eft.
Mr. Daniel Zimmerman, who has
served sixteen months or u threeyear
sentence for embezzling State
l>onds while bond clerk in the ofllce
of the State treasury, was granted
a full and unconditional pardon by
Governor Ansel Friday, who merely
adopted the recommendation of the
pardon board, which contained an interesting
couple of paragraphs on the
Zimmerman case, written by Col. \V.
A. Clark, the board's secretary.
The pardon has been expected, as
powerful pressure has been brought
to bear on both the governor and
the members of the pardon board,
who were appealed to by Influential
people from all parts of the State.
In fact the pardon was expected tit
I the last meeting of the board, but
tho discovery of additional shortage
caused postponement of tho caso.
Tho first n?'W8 was telephoned to
tho penitentiary Immediately after
tho governor had acted, by Clerk
Rrooks of tho supreme court, a fellow
Confederate Veteran of Mr. Zimmerman's,
who sympathizes with everybody
in trouble, ('apt Roberts of
the penitentiary guard made Mr. Zimmerman's
heart glad with the first
news. Shortly afterward Mrs. Zimmerman
arrived and there was a
tearful meeting. She waited until
the papers were brought down and
her husband formally released. As
clothes the aged pair drove away in
clothes tho aged pair doe away in
a carriage to their home.
It is thought that the pardoning of
Mr. Zimmerman will make a pardon
for his accomplice, Mr. T. J. Gibson,
easier to secure. Up to this time
there have been Indications of much
bitterness against Mr Gibson on the
art of Mr. Zimmerman's frionds.
Mr. Gibson has not yet begun service
of his sentence, being out. on
bond pending appeal to the supreme
court from the circuit court's order
refusing him a new trial on alleged
after-discovered evidence. *
IMMUNE TO POISON.
Now Kcligious ('ult Sooks Kites
From Deadly Reptiles.
Twenty-three persons in the vicinity
of Hutchinson, Kan., have joined
in snake worship and hold regular
services. In which deadly reptiles
play an important part. The report
of the cult comes from H. M. Grubb,
assessor of Government township,
who is seeking to have the worshipers
arrested.
According to his story the snake
worshipers make a regular hunt for
reptllles, imprison them and when
services are held the snakes are allowed
to sink their fangs In the
arms of believers, who think themselves
immune to poison. The assessor
reports there are several shriveled
arms among the worshipers and
a number of children have had narrow
escapes from death duo to the
bites.

For tulles around the little hamlet
of l'elit, wu'ii miles east of l^?tfayotto,
lad., tho residents uro in a
stale of great excitement over tho
strange happenings at the home of
Kosanuo Hltenour.
An alleged haunted house, dreary
and desolate, Infested by evil spirits,
who hurl bricks and stones through
solid walls without leaving a hob.',
throw chunks of dried clay about the
rooms from Invisible sources and
pour wator through ceilings upon
tho heads of unsuspecting persons
beneath?those are the conditions
that are attracting hundreds of people
to tho farm every day.
And while several persons have
made rigid Inquiries they offer no
other explanation than to accuse tho
old woman and her little granddaughter,
who live alone in tho
house, of concocting the scheme to
keep the old home from being sold
by relatives who seek to remove Mrs.
j Ritcnour from her dreary, dilapidated
surroundings and dispose of the
I property.
It is only since a recent evening
that tin* Kitenonr house has come
into the limelight as the abode of
! ghosts. The house and its surround|
lugs from an i leal setting for a ghost
story and to lie superstitious mind
they appeal w ith great force as a fitting
rendezvous of spirit forms.
Tao house is a mile north of Pottit.
Ind, and stands hack from the
road in a clump of trees and shrubbery.
It Is an old log house, built
in 1832, with weather-hoards on
two sides. Between the logs is a
clay plastering that furnishes the
"ghost" with ammunition.
For forty-nine years Mrs. Rltenotir
has lived in the house. She is
7 5 years old ami since the death of
her husband, a civil war veteran,
in May. lbOX, she has lived alone
with little Itosle Julian, aged 11
years. Itosio Is the daughter of Mrs.
Rltenour's daughter, who has been
missing for several years, leaving
home and never returning. Five other
daughters, all married, are living
within a few miles of the socalled
haunted house.
Since the memorable Friday night,
ou which the manifestation of material
activity of unearthly power
was first, noted in the house, many
remarkable things have come to pass.
Mrs. Rltenour declares that largo
stones and bricks have been hurled
at her and her grand-daughter by unseen
hands, coming through walls
without leaving a mark.
She says the pelting with Mpncs
begins each evening ut 5 o'clock and
continues at intervals until mid
night, whou all is quiet. Both she
and her grand-daughter, nho flays,
have been Btruck repeatedly with
Btonos and pieces of dried clay, water
hft? been poured on thein from the
kitehon celling, bricks have been
hurled with great force from above
the house, crashing into a Htove and
tearing it to plecoe.
In the yard, she nays, she and the
j girl havo boon pelted with corncobs
; without a person being visible except
themselves. One brick, covered ylth
mess, she says, came into the house
the other night and landed on the
j bed of her grand-daughter, striking
ion the pillow a fow inches from the
I trl r! 't/' liopil
I f>* ' *
I Every flay since Mrs. Ritonour first
reported that the house was haunted
hundreds of curious people have visited
the farm and remained through
i tho evening. Many report that, they
jsaw the stones como crashing Into
the rooms and heard the water
splash.
Mrs. Emma Ranch, a neighbor,
says she was with Mrs. Ritonour and
j the little girl the other night and a
j large piece of day hit her on the head
| and bruised her severely. She says
j at the time the aged woman and the

Hoy l?>t of (luirU'stun, With Whom

I
In an effort to save the life of |
Miss Mosaic Movie, of Charleston,
Mr. Fulton Kelsey, of Augusta, Ga.,
lost his life In the surf at Sullivan's
Island Friday. The tragedy occurred
at about T? o'clock in the afternoon,
and a most unusual circuiu- ,
stance was that no one was aware
of the fact that Mr. Kelsey had been
drowned until Miss Moyle regaining
consciousness after her rescue,
asked where Mr. Kelsey was.
Miss Moyle, who was Iti the surf
with Mr. Kelsey, narrowly escaped
drowning herself, and when rescued
was practically unconscious. ller
account of the tragedy was therefore
very disconnected. It appears that
Mr. Kelsey and Miss Moyle were in
bathing together, and sonic little distance
from any other bathers. It
was an unusually strong ebb tide and
a high east wind was blowing. The
first intimation that any one had
that t ho bat iters were in distress was
the sight of Miss Movie's outstretched
arms projecting from the water.
Mr. David liugucniti of Charleston,
happened to be fishing in the surf i
nearby, and seeing Miss Moyle's arms
in the position they were, realized
the gravity of the situation an iniIniediatelv
went t * > P??r
The water was only waist <1???-p
whore Miss Boyle wan found, and
.Mr. llugnenln had little dillleulty
In reaching her and bringing her to
the shore. Miss Hovle's condition
was <|uite serious when Mr. llugnenln
reached her, her face being already
discolored and there wue other Indications
of strangulation.
After reaching the shore Miss
Boyle regained consciousness. and
although In a state of collapse, cried,
"Where Is Mr. Kelsey? Where Is
Mr. Kelsey?"
It was not known until then that I
Mr, Kelsev was in the surf, and
efforts were immediately made to
locate him, but the body had already
gone down and tio trace of It
was discovered.
^ As soon as Mr. Tlnguenln was
seen hearing Miss Boyle to the beach,
Mr. Clarence Rowland and young Mr.
Cudworth, of Charleston, Immediately
went to his assistance and helped
take Miss Boyle to tho cottage of
Mrs. Joseph Bignon, where she was
staying. While Miss Boyle If getting
along very well, she is still In a nervous
state, suffering from shock.
Miss Boyle was able to state, however
that when she and Mr. Kelsey
discovered their danger, Mr. Kelsey
placed her on his hack and told her
to call for help.
Miss Boylo Raid that she made
several cries, hut that thoy were not
heard. The theory in connection
with the drowning is that Mr. Kelsey
was seized with cramps and was unable
to cope with the strong undert

and that Mr. Kelsoy went to her
assistance; that Mr. Relsoy succeoded
in rescuing her and carried her
some littl#> distance to the shore,

said that she remembered the break- J

that the water in which they wore

MRS. THOMAS (ROTS IHVOKCIO.
Atlanta Girl Who Married Her Chauffeur
Free Again.
In spite of attempts to keep it
serret, it was learned that Mrs.
Silvey Spoor Thomas was granted a
verdict of divorce in the Superior
Court in Atlanta Monday.
It was last September that Miss
Spoor, daughter of W. A. Spoor, and
prominent in local first, family clrclos,
eloped with her chauffeur, Russol
J. Thomas. I lor parents pursued
the couple, had them detained and
carried off tho bride of a few hours.
She was spirited to New York and
thence to Europe, to escape the
search of her youthful husband. The
latter has brought suit against h'.s
father-in-law for alienating his wife's
affections. In a statement signed
by Mrs. Thomas she said that young
Thomas made love to her, but she
repented it. Next he told her that
unless she married him ho would
k'll her father. She averred that i
upon tho day of their elopment, Sep- j
tember 28, Thomas' father telephou- I
ed her that unless she came to Marietta
and rnarrRsl his son. her fathI
er would bo killed. She went to the
place agreed upon and was very nervous.
Tho elder Thomas, she asserts,
gave her a tablet, and af ?r
swallowing it she claims she did not
remember what happened, except in
a dazed way. She believes now that
she was drugged, and that while in
this Htato she went through a marriage
ceremony.

at Grover Cleveland Fritz, on Cotton
Mill Hill, and afterwards defending
himself in tho Circuit Court and n??
curing an acquittal. broke Into the

Sunday, by .shooting a lady friend
of bin and then committing suicide.
It seems that for some time, Patterson
had been paying attention to
a widow by the name of Mrs. Mag
Pender. Sunday he called on her
and somo dispute nrose between
them. Patterson drew his pistol und
fired at the woman an she fled, inflicting
two flesh wounds, one in the

Ho then placed the point of the revolver
in his right ear and flrod.
the bullet passing out of the top of
the head. Ho died immediately.
t*jK?n removing the body, he was
found to be armed not only with the
pistol, but with a large dirk and
other weapons.
Patterson had been a Holiness
preacher In that place for pome time.
Lately he had turned painter and
had boon painting houses about town.
It is believed that his mind was not.
well balanced. Ho was seen wandering
about the Seaboard depot about

ac'ionu recently led people who have

his sanity.
