Four Children Burned to Death.

From the sew Albany, Und.) CominerrlA
we have already published the
fact that four OF the children OF hr.
James Wiimot, who resides near
Valley City, Harrison county, We're
burned to death on Saturday night,
June 18th, and given some detaiis OF
the horrible affair. But we nre fur-
nisiied further particulars by a cor
respondent residing near the scene
of the awful disaster.
The parents had gone TO church, 1,
lea wing their little ones, aged from
four to nine wears, at home. They
left coal-oil lamp burning III the
house, and when they left locked the
door. so as to make the house secure
against any one attempting To enter
it.
The children had gone to bed and
were all fast asleep, and while sleep
ing it is supposed the coal-oil lamp
exploded, setting fire to the house
The children, awakened by the nre,
or two of them at least, attempted 10
escape, but in vain. They then COM
menced screaming and shrieklnS IN
the most heart-rendlng manner iot
help. Their cries were heard, puI
too late, alas. for the fiery names
were then curling about the WIN
dows, and no human aid could sue
cor the poor little innocents. Two
of them fell dead by the door, where
their remains were found The oth-
er Two, the youngest, perished III the
bed, being burnt to ashes.
II WAS heart-rending when the pa
rents arrived at the scene 10 witness
their agony. There in plain sight OF
them, but beyond their reach, lay
their darlings, with the fearful hre
wrapping them in its torturing folds,
and no human arm could rescue
them or save them from consuming
ia the intense heat. 1t nearly drove
the now broken-hearted parents
mad.
ON Sunday the charred remains
were gathered from the ruins and IN
