Another COlOred Infant Unearfhed
and Partially DevOured by Dogs.

Another COlOred Infant Unearfhed
and Partially DevOured by Dogs.
A few weeks ago, we published the
shocking details Of the discovery of the re.
mains Of a negro infant which had been
dug up and partially devoured by dogs, in
the corner of lot on west Cedar street.
An almost precisely similar case occurred
on Sunday, in the rear of No. 1919 Line
street, house occupied by negroes. Frag-
ments Of an infants skull, that had been
been broken in the ravenous jaws OF hungry
dogs which had unearthed it from a grave
only three inches deep, were found scattered
about at the side ola privy and near back
fence, aud Coroner Norvell was at once
summoned to investigate the circumstances
leading to so remarkable a burial. Two
fiat stones were the only protection to the
little grave, and the filaments clinging TO
pieces of broken skull indicated that the
child was a colored infant.
An investigation disclosed that on the
Goth of February last, Susan Morgan,
colored woman, had been delivered of a
child, little more than two months from
the day of her marriage with a negro
named James Baker, who, upon the birth
Of the child, Immediately deserted his wife
as unworthy the honest affection he had
bestowed. In less than an hour after its
birth, the infant died, and nothing was
again heard of il until the discovery of
Sunday.
Gina Morgan, the mother OF Susan, swore
that the child died in three minutes after
its birth, the mother swore it was born
dead, and DIR. Rogers, the attending ply
stefan, swore that it lived nearly an hour.
The grandmother, Gina, swore also, that
she herself had buried the child about
dark of the day of its birth, while the
mother swOre it had been buried at six
o'clock next morning. Upon the strength
of this testimony, Coroner Norvell ordered
the grandmother under arrest, and on being
taken before Justice Pearcy she was COM
mitted to jsii to await trial before the
Criminal Court, being unable to give
bond of $1,000.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury was
to the effect that the child had died a
natural death in less than an hour subse-
quent to its birth.

A SEA OF FIRE AT FRANKLIN.
Total Destruction of Thirteen Build
ings-TOss $4,000.

Total Destruction of Thirteen Build
ings-IOss $4,000.
A terrible conaagration swept over a
portion of Franklin onSaturday night, lay
ing in ashes thirteen buildings, and destroy
ing not less than $4,000 worth Of proper
~, on the whole Of which there was not
more than 5000 insurance. The fire broke
out about ii o'clock in a block Of frame
buildings on the northeast side of the
Public Square, and the same fierce wind
which 30 nearly wrapped in flames the
whole Of Deaderick street in this city on
Sunday morning, carried the fearful ele-
ment TO Main street, burning TO the ground
all the buildings on one side as far as the
residence of DIR. ID. b. Clifie, and consum-
ing a number of structures in other local
titles.
The large grocery house of J. D. Ben
net d Sons, Michael COdy's chair factory,
T.. j. Fleming's saloon, T. Sheehan's
grocery and residence, and a stable owned
BY Mrs. JHo. Marshall, ara Emoas the
buildings destroyed. Insurance policies
on nearly all the property burned had
only just expired.
j. ID. Bennett q Son are the heaviest
losers, though portion of their stock was
saved. Their loss reaches about $4,000.
Michael Codys loss on binding was
$1,000, and on machinery $500. A con-
siderable amount of stock belonging to
Geo. Patton, COL, is not estimated. Elem
ing's loss on saloon stock is $1,000, and
that of G. T. Swanson on the building,
$4,000. Three hundred barrels of corn
were destroyed with Mrs. MarshalPs stable,
and her loss is set down at $500. The
building partly occupied by T. Sheehan,
was destroyed, entailing a loss of some
$4,000 A number OF small buildings, of
the value Of which we have no definite
estimate, we're destroyed.
The residences Of Judge Campbell and
Mr.. Bliss, Naughn's stable, and many other
buildings took fire during the conhagra-
ton, but were saved by active exertion.
Heavy showers Of cinders were constantly
falling, and il was with difficulty that
many fine buildings were saved.
Buckets and a hand.engine were all the
means at hand TO stay the progress of the
flames, aud though much hard work was
done little could be accomplished against
the fury Of the combined elements Of wind
and fire.
The fire is said to have originated acct
dentally.

pERrIs OF cHEAP OIL.
A Negro woman Nearly Barned 80
Death.

Death.
Mary Gordon, an old and faithful colored
servant, in the family Of X. ]. Morris, ESQ
who resides at No &c, South Cherry street,
was so badly burned by can of blazing
oil, about FIVE o'clock yesterday, that it
was thought she could not live through the
night. The accident occurred in her sleep
ing room, in the basement Of the house, as
she was filling little brass hand lamp from
an oyster can which had been fashioned into
an oil-can. Neglecting TO extinguish the
burning wick, the oil in the can quickly
ignited, and the flame catching her cloth
ing soon wrapped her in a sheet of fire.
In great CONSERVATION the poor woman
ran through the bath room into the
hall and out Of the front door into
the yard, shrieking and screaming in
terror. Mr.. G. L. Fuller, who was
passing at the time, in company with sew
eral other gentlemen, on seeing the wo-
man, Immediately drew off his coat, and
throwing it about her, smolhered the
flames. Medical aid was at once sum-
moned, but the unfortunate creature was
beyond help.
The woman rushing out Of the house,
gave the impression that the building was
on fire, and an alarm was sounded from
the Hook and Ladder House on Summer
street, sending the fire department in he'll
ter SHELTER search for the cause Of il.
The oil which led to the dreadful occur
renee, was a cheap compound of benzine
and other inhammable ingredients which
the unfortunate woman had purchased at
an establishment on Union street. 1t was
neither Aurora oil nor coal oil, but bo-
gus composition resembling neither, which
she had bought on account Of its low price.

An Ex-COnvict Buries His Knife in
the Heart of "a Fellow EmplOye-
Escape 0f fhe Murderer

the Heart Of 81 FeIlOw-EmplOye-
Escape Of the Murderer.
A shocking murder was committed al
Laitenberger's brewery, on the Chicken
pike, FIVE miles from town, between five
and six o'clock Sunday evening The day $
work had just closed, and Gottfried Sehich-
ler Frank Lambertine, and several other
employees were seated in the basement of
the brewery, when Lambertine, who had
been drinking pretty freely, opened a quar-
rel with negro, who had the good sense
to make tracks at once. A young man
present demonstrated with Lambertine, but
the latter replied by Aourishing & knife
drawn to cut some tobacco, saving, as he
poked the blade at the meddler, that the
weapon was intended for his benefit if he
did not keep still.
Schichler at this point also put in a
word, and said to Lambertine, "You ought
to be ashamed of yourself" To the aston
ishment of all, LambeTtine sprang up at
this, and rushing toward Schichler with the
knife drawn, plunged it into his heart, in
flicting a wound of which he died almost
instantly.
At once realizing what had occurred,
the drunken murderer darted toward the
door, and succeeded in gaining the yard
before the foreman. who started after, could
lay hands upon him. Catching him there,
a struggle ensued, and a frightened negro
reporting to the foreman's wife that her
husband was killed, the frantic woman, as
soon as she saw the two men graphing with
each other, rushed between them. This
threw off both parties, and Lambertine
took to his heels and was soon out of sight.
An inquest was held yesterday by Cor
oner Norvell, and verdict rendered that
the murdered man came to his death "from
a stab with a knife in the hands of Frank
Lambertine, having been cut in or about
the heart, producing instant death; and
that Frank Lambertine was not Unsuitable
in the act"
Schichler was a relative of Louis Pleiffer,
of the well known firm of Sieifel d Pfeif-
fer, and was an employe at the brewery.
Lambertine was the driver of beer wagon,
and about year and half since was par
doned from the penitentiary, where he had
served out a portion of term for horse
stealing. Both were single men.
IL is believed that the murderer has
made good his escape, az nothing has been
seen of him since Sunday. The police
were not notified of the murder until
late hour Sunday night.
