Distressing Occurrence--Death by Burn
Ing.

On Sunday morning terrible accident Oc-
Cured on M street, between Fourth and Fifth
streets. by which Mrs. Avis Hill was burned to
death by her dress taking fire from candle.
From what we can learn, 1t appears that Mrs.
Hill attended n party on Saturday night, and
came home, about halfpast three o'clock In the
morning, with two friends, who left her at her
door, and that when her husband, Mr.. Joseph
Hill, Il watchman at the Assembly Rooms, came
home about six O'Clock yesterday morning, he
found her lying on the floor literally cooked,
her flesh being burned to a crisp. A candle
was In the room up stairs, where It Is probable
she had set It. From the fact that IA curtain AT
window in the second story was partially
burned, and from other evidences of the fire, II
is probable that her dress took fire up stairs,
and that she endeavored to escape to the street
but was unable to get further than the room in
which she was found.
From the statements of some Of the neigh
bors, 1t was thought that she might have been
set on fire by her husband, and officer Beall ar
rested him. but he was discharged after the
coroners inquest, it being proved that he was
on duty at the Assembly Rooms when the aGci-
dent happened.
Ol the inquest, which was held yesterday
afternoon by Coroner Woodward the above
facts were eicted, and a verdict rendered In
accordance herewith.
Mrs. Hill was formerly a Miss Conner, and
was only about twenty eight years of age. She
Is represented as having been hard.workint
woman, who contributed not Il little TO the sup,
port of herself and husband.

In strolling through the Hall Of the House Of

at which time preparations we're being made
for the delivery of Professor McCoys oration,
which came off on Thursday, we were struck
with surprise at witnessing, in the form of
drapery around the stage temporarily erected
for the occasion, the colOrs of the rebel flag; II
large American flag being prostituted for that
purpose. The flag was 30 arranged along the
front of the stage as to display but eight stars
and three stripes-.red nrst, white next, and
red notwithstanding AN almost perfect secession
flag. We observed however, that on Thursday
the arrangement of the flag was so changed as
to display the glorious national flag In all its
beauty and splendor. Was the first arrlnge
ment accidental, or was II Intentional?
