Atltnta, Ga, May 25. As the
congregation of Wesley Chapel, a
sma'l church eight miles from At
lanta, was standing singing the dox
ology a ncl awaiting the benedict
ion at" noon today r. mulard Lee, 2o
years of age, pulled a pi toi and
fired twic. at Miss Lilla Suttles,
killing her instantly.
Young Lre had ben sitting in
the pew immediately behind that
occupied by the Suules family, and
only a moment before tthe tragedy
had leaned over and asked Miss Lil
la Suttles if she would a?compauy
him to the night services.
The young woman Eaid she had a
previous engagement. Lee, who
was desperately in love with her,
remarked in the hearing of a large
part of the congregation that if he
could not go with her be would kill
her.
Less than five minutes later he
pulled a pistol from his pocket and
fired. The first . bullet took effect
in the girl's back, and as she turn
ed he fired the second time, the se
cond bullet taking . effect in her
breast. - Lilla Suttles fell in the
arms of her father and expired
without a word.
Lee escaped from the church. A
posse made up of three hundred
farmers is on his trail and his cap
ture is expected. If caught he
will be swung up to the first tree ia
sight.

Chicago, May 31. Two colored
men fought a duel to the death
with knives last night, at Twenty
second and Dearborn streets. As
they slashed and plunged the weap
ons into each other's bodies, a crowd
of more than fifty persons formed
around them and cheered the com
batant3 when one of the other drove
the knife to the hilt. After ten
minutes of hard fighting, Alexan
der Shii ley staggered and felUwith
his adversary's weapon sticking in
his body. The longblade had pier
ced his heart. He was dead when
the police arrived. His slayer,
Charles Thomas, ; was bleeding
from several wounds ' The police
huriied him to a hospital and, af
ter his' wounds were dressed, lock-
ed him up. He will be charged
with murder.
Shirley came to Chicago from
Mississippi. He met Thomas last
Monday, and having known him in
the South, tried to borrow (money
from him. Thomas refused to give
him assistance, and they quarreled.
Before parting, Shirley, it is said,
made the threat that when they
met again one or the other would
die. '

THE WELLK NO WN Ex- GOYERN 0RS
DEATH IN PORTLAND.
Sketch,' of His Career He was
Twice Elected Governor of
-Oregon- Won Over Thomp
I son and Cornelius.
Sylvester ; Pennoyer, for eight
years governor of Oregon, Mayor of
Portland from 1896 to 1898, and a
man of "national prominence, died
very suddenly of heart disease at
his home on West Park and Mor
rison Streets, about 4 o'clock yester
day afternoon. He wa-3 alone in
his room on the second story of his
residence at the time of his death,
and was not discovered until five
o'clock, when his wife, returning
from jt street-car ride with her
8on-iniw and daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. Gecrge F. Uu3sel, found him
lying prone on the floor near a soa,
from which he had apparently fal
len. His glasees lay broken on the
floor beside him, and across his face
was spread an Oregonian wuch he
had been reading and which bad 1
evidently b ea loosened from his
grip in the fall..
Mrs. Pennoyer immediately sum
moned the servant and sent for
physicians, and Drs. White and
Brown, whose offices are near by,
and Dr. Dickson was called. An
examination convinced them that
Governor Pennoyer had been dead
about hn hour, and it was there o
pioion tbat either heart disease or
apoplexy had taken him off. There
were every indicatihn of a peaceful,
painless death.
Governor Pennoyer had of late
been in fair health, although his
strength was sapped by an attack of
illneas nearly a year ago, and he
had, never recovered his wonted ro
bustness. Of late he bad made dai
ly v isits to his ranch in Woodstock,
and spent several hours in the op
en air superintending numerous im
provements he was making. Yes
terday morning he went to his ranch
as usual and re'turned about noon.
Iu the afternoon he took a walk,
and the servant, who was left alone
in the house, said he entered the
hone at three o'clock, and, as was
his habit, went immediately to his
room. She heard no sound of a
fall, and was aetonished beyond
measure when Mrs. Pennoper in
formed ber that something had hap
pened to the governor, and sent her
out to summon help.
" The news of tbe governor'd death
v as a surprise and a shock to his
thousands of friends throughout the
city, among whom it soon spread.
He had been on the street every
day this spring, had taken adeep
interest in p litical affairs, although
not participating in them, and his
counsel was much sought by demo
cratic leaders, of whom he wa3 re
cognized as one of the ablest up to
the date of his death. To those who
spoke to him and inquired for his
health he invariably replied that he
was feeling better than he had for
years, tbat his work on his ranch
was making a new man of him and
that no one could bear more lightly
the burden of three-score and ten
years than he. The strike in the
Pennoyer mill, in whieh he still re
tained a large interest, had given
him some uneasiness, but he ex
pressed himeelf as entirely satisfied
with the manner in which it was
settled. In fact, with a fortune,
with no political cares, and with a
congenial occupation, that of farm
ing, his only trouble the last few
years was the improvement of Al
der street, on which he owns a
block in the heart of town, and
gave him. much annoyance because
of his apprehension tbat it would
be paved in some manner objectiou
able to him.
Pennoyer was easily the moot
picturesque figure in the political
life of Oregon. His famous tele
gram to Grover Cleveland, through
Secretary of State (Sresham, when
Cleveland, as president, advinedthe
governors of the various states to
guard, against Chinese troubles, was
but one of the many unexpected
things which he seemed to delight
to do. He was a man of elegance
and force either on, the slump or
with his pen, and his communica
tions to the newspapers were no
less interesting than his speeches..
Both contributed largely to the at
tention he attracted, throughout tbe
state and the nation. ; Per-onaliy
he was exceedingly genial, fond of
quoting from Scripture or from-Ae
sop's Fables to illustrate a point, a
fine story-teller, and a .charming
companion. He was alike-approachable
to every one, and peopls who
year after year have seen him walk
ing back and ' forth from his resi
dence to the business part of town,
remember how often he was stopped
by prominent citizens or laboring
men, and how he loved to chat
with any and all of them. Proba
bly no one in the city has such a
wide circle of acquaintances as he
enjoyed, and certainly no one is
bet'er known by eight.
Mrs. Pennoyer and Mrs. George
F. Russel survive him. His son,
Horace, died about 8 years ago at
Williams College, and was buried
from Trinity church, and the gov
er never fully recovered from the
shock the boy's death caused Lim.
So sudden was the governor's death
and se prostrated are his family by
the shock, that no arrangements
have yet been made for the funeral.
Sylvester Pennoyer was bern in
Groton, N. Y., July 6, 1831. Both
his father, Justus Powers Pennoyer,
and his mother were born in the
same state, and there the future
governor of Oregon lived until 1853,
when he went to Harvard College
Law school, his expenses being part
ly defrayad by an annuity of 40
left by William rennoyer, wno re
moved in colonial days from France
to New Haven colony, and died
there in 1760. This sum was to be
sent every year to Harv rd College
to b? applied to the education ot
the descendant of William Pdn
noyer's brother Robert. Since that
time, for mnre than two centuries,
has that 40 per annum been sent
to the college, without a single fail
ure. - - -
In 1855 young Pennoyer came to
Oregon, having journeyed to San
Francisco by way of Nicaragua,
thence to Puget Sjuod by the bark
Leonesa, and from there to Port
land, paddling down the Cowlitz
River in an Indian canoe, and tak
ing a Columbia steamer at its
mouth.
He was admitted to the bar by
the supi eme court, consisting of
Judges Williams, Olney and Deady,
but never practiced here. lie
taught school for a time, and in
1862 he engaged in the lumber bus
iness. He was long successful,
founding a large corcern, which
was so prosperous up to 1890 that a
fine new mill was built, then the
largest in the city.
The governor was married the
year following his arrival to Mrs.
Mary A. Allen, and ot tbe bve chil
dren that were born to him Mrs.
Russel is the sole survivor.
Although he became in 1881 as
sociated with Dr. Weatherford in
the Oregon Herald, and afterward
purchased snd edited the paper for
two years, he did not -enter politics
to any extent until 1885, when he
was nominated for mayor against
JohnW. Gates, on the issue of mu
nicipal ownership of the water
plant, then in-the hands of John
Green and H. C. Leonard. Gates
easily defeated him.
But during tbe winter of 1885
and 1886 a strong feeling against
the Chinese sprang up in Portland.
Th workingmen, whose opportun
ities to secure employment had
been restricted by th9 influx of the
Orientals, projected a meeting whose
object was to devise waysand means
to expel them. Mayor Gates called
a counter meeting, but the working-
men captured it and Pennoyer was
made chairman, and the meetng fi
nally adiourned. having passed res
olutions favoring law and order.
This made Pennoyer's popularity
In 1886 ha was elected governor as
a democrat by a plurality of 3702,
although the state went republican
on the general issue. In his first
inaugu-al address he took the posi
tion that the courts have no right
to nullify a law passed by the legis
lature, a position from which he
never denarted, and on which he
asked the last sUte democratic con
vention to make him its nominee
for supreme judge. .
The first and perrfaps the most
noteworthy of his actions as gover
nor was taken iu 1888, wben the
contractors on theCorvallis & East
ern Railroad failed to pay the la
borers. A telegram was received
by the governor from an officer of
the road announcing that the la
borers were marching on the town,
and asking that the troops be ord
ered out. Pennoyer went to -Gorvaliis
and told the officers that un
less they paid the men -he would
take no action; but if, after pay
ment, a riot should occur, he would

THE ONLY ONE
THAT LIVED . THROUGH THE
AWFUL DISASTER AT MT PELEE
He was a Prisioner in a Dungeon
When the Shower of Volcanic
Dust Came The Thick Jail
Walls Alone Saved Him.
Fort DeFrance, May 19 There
was one man who was not in the
streets of St Piejre on the morning:
of the eruption. He was Roul
Sartout, a coarse, jet black native,
who bad been arrested for some
trivial offense the week before. He
is actually the only creature in all
the city of St Pierre to live through
the fiery deluge. -
Sartout, who is now in the hos
pital at Fott de France, had become
ostreperous in his prison and was
tiansferred to the dungeon below
the level of the sidewalk facing the
Rue Dieppe, which slants down
ward to the roadstead..
He heard the faint echo of the
rumbling of Pelee. He felt the.
earth as he had felt it many tim.33
before, and was not afraid.
But he quickly realized that
something extraordinary was going
on. He could not see anything bat
the thick stone walls of his prison
could not prevent him from hear
ing the deep rumble and cyclonic
tearing 01 ine nan 01 aeam inrougn
tbe city in which he had lived all
his life. He was panic-stricken
with fear and beat with his handB
agains'. the walls so he said.
He succeeded in getting open a
Hrmr 1 marline into a. cell a littla
larger than hie, over which there
was an iron grating looking up
through the sidewalk. He stumbl
ed into this apartment to find it
full with a sifting mass of hot
ashes and dust. It burned him se
verely aad he was not elow to re
tree t to the inner celt from which
he had just escaped.
Then came the awful' silence
that seemed to paralyze him with
fear more than the first roar tbat
had awakened the keenest sense of
danger in his simple, untaught
soul. Hi has sinte said that he
lay on the floor of the dark cell for
hours, scarcely daring to breathe.
oppressed by the terrifying silence.
He does not know how many hours
be lay there.
F.nally he summoned upcourage
enough to open the cell door and
look into the other apartments. He
was met by a wave of dust that
choked his mouth and nostrils and
half blinded him. It had cooled,
and he ventured' to wade through
the soft flaky like mass toward the
iron gratings, through' which de
scended a Bhower of soft and al
most invisible dust. He hallooed,
aloud again and again, and at ev
ery echo his voice seemed to in
crease the shower through the grat
ing. He went to the door shutting
off his escape to tbe stairs leading
to the floor above and pounded at
it un!il bis fists were bruised " and,
torn. He waited for a response
but none came. He struggled
through the masses of aches 10
the grating again again to shriek
and cry for help.
Hunger and thirst overcame him
and he crept back into the dungeon
to sleep but he could net. He says
he did not close his eyes from the
moment he heard the terrifying
roar of the volcanic ball until Mon
day morning, four days later, when
his shrieks were heard by the first
party of searchers to invade the
stricken city. His cries were feeble
by this time, ts he had aloaost de
spaired of liberation.
Finally a marine irom the French
cruiser Suchet heard Sartout's
wail and tracing it rescued the one
living creature in tbe city. . The
bars of the grating had to be pried
open and Saitout was dragged out
more dead than alive. He was
found to be not only on the verge
of death from starvation and thirst,
but suffering from terrible burns
about his legs and the lower part
of his body. "
