the grandmother, Catherine Soute, were sit
ting around a table in the kitchen, about
O'Clock in the evening. The father was asleep
in the front room. The light was burning low,
and the mother arose to fill 1t without extin-
gushing il, and commenced filling from a
quart can. The flame from the lamp commu-
nicated with the fiuid in the can, and In an i'm
slant il exploded, covering the table with the
blazing liquid, setting FIRE TO the curtains and
windows, and enyel0piug all Of them in flames.
Their screams awoke the husband, who, with
the help Of his neighbors, succeeded in extin-
gushing il, but not until all were burned -
The youngest child, Bernard, was horribly
burned about the face, and died the next morn
ing. The second child was badly burned In
the eyes, and was in convulsioneo on Friday
The mother is very seriously burned in the
face and upon the arms. but II is Thought that

terday no tickets were sold for points within
twenty miles of Harper's Ferry and Charles

plicants, among them many of the "rongh''

all of them. Some indignation and threats
were expressed. A few who determined to
risk something rather than miss passage got
aboard the Western train yesterday, but they
were elected by direction of Mr.. Garrett, the
President OF the road. One gentleman, the
editor of paper published in West Chester,
Pa, upon being refused . ticket for Harper's
Ferry, took one for Washington, intending 10
reach the former place by way Of the Orange

"bound to be in Harper's Ferry or hi by

ANOTIlEN DIsGHACE,

It was hoped by all men intrusted in The
maintenance Of justice in Cook county, that tl,e
finale Of the Busch trial had produced sucl,
disgust in the public mind that a repetition ot
that scene would not soou kc again attempted,
Wc now regret to hear that dye Of the jury-
men in the Jumperz case-J. r. Ingraham
Of orlaud, Geo. Z. Hinman Of Worth, 4. C..
Fassest Of Thornton, B. G. Wilder Of Orland,
and Lawrence Riley Of Lyons-had the i'll taste
to accept an invitation Of some or all Of the
counsel for tho prisoner for junkesins and
drinking bout at public saloon last evening,
aud that during the progress Of the mcrriment
frequent bumpers were tossed of to the health
aud prosperity Of him upon whom an incdace-
able brand is affixed. It is wonder that the
ghost ofthe murdered Sophie Werner did not
come aud sit an unbidden and unwelcomc
guest At their festive board and it will to q
greater wonder if public opinion does not deal
with these jarymcn with perhaps greater
severity than their act deserves Is it not
time that reform in our criminal jurisoru.

DEAR S1R: Allow me to say a few words in
reply to the *mussca1 suggestions" which ap-
peared in yesterdays pape-:
As concerns our concert, think We were fullT
justified in selecting Just such 4 programme.
For the Italian school his been represented
during last week At Metropolitan Hall, By the
PaEodi troupe, while the Eseott troupe 1t
McFickers confined themselves principally to
English operas. Therefore it scanned to Us no
inpropnety to select 4 programme which in
deed might be called 'sGefmau," but which
contained, q We think, enough Of "Uniyersal
music TO g1Fe every listener something to hiS
liking: ~ to american Music, ;" the range for
selecaton Is but narrow, 1t least As to orchestral
mune. live were giving series OF concerts,
the ''auEgestlons" would be perfectly applicable
but ~ We had gwen no CONCERT for more than 4
year, We yentuTed to select our programme
from well known masters only, without giving
place to Lighter compositions, which MAY b
heard It every concert, The Wedding March
would indeed hKJe elected more opplduse than
Noctu1na, but u tho former is we'll known, we
thought II desirable to select something that
bad been less often performed On tic xhole
l beg to assure you, that although it was our
Benefit Concert it WAS not 50 much our intention
to reap great pecuniasy profits, as to give !
concert, which might compare fosoflble ii 1eaAt
II to the selecton1, with The best concerts rot-
ten up in thelarger and older cities Of the Union:
and from tbs reception wa harn met with from
the andienee, we feel fully repaid for tho pains
