Committed Suicide in Coffin.

Modena, Italy.—Angelo Milani, a wealthy manufacturer, bought a coffin, took it home and, setting fire to a mineral composition, took his place in the casket and awaited death. On the following day his maid went to call him and found a note on the door requesting the undertaker to call. When officers broke open the door they found the coffin closed and Milani dead inside.
