Burnt to Death

We have received the painful intelli-
gence of Il horrid accident TO little two
years old girl, daughter of our esteemed
fellow-citizen, DIR. l.. II. Tucker, who
resides near Embreeville, on Nola Chucky
river in this county, which occurred on
Thursday morning, the I'd instant.
II appears that whilst Mrs T. was away
from her house for few minutes, attend
ing to some outdoor matters, she left her
little girl, just beginning TO walk, in charge
of another little daughter but few years
her senior. The little one, from some
cause, accidentally fell into a hot bed of
live Goals, roasting her feet and part of her
stomach in most horrid manner land
thus lay helpless, until her screams brought
TO her assistance her distressed mother
The little sister became so much frightened
that she could not give the alarm in time
10 save the unfortunate little sufferer.
We learn form our informant that not
withstanding the severity of the injuries
received by the little girl, she lived over
twelve hours before death relieved her ter
.Tible agonies.
Or. Tucker and family have the deep
sympathy of our community in his sad be-
reavement.- JOnesborO Flag

FARM AND HOME
Cure for Horse Distemner,

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man relieved a valuable mare by treating
her according to the following plan:
The following is the course taken. with
my mare, successfully, at the instance of a
mao who had been employed during the
war in the government hospital for horses,
and who had, he said, never seen it fail
when thoroughly tried. The mare was
placed in warm but well ventilated stable;
was fed with warm well meshes of grain,
and was daily flmigated for three days.
She began to be better, to gain strength, to
eat, and was able towork with moderation.
For some two months she was under the
effects of the disease, but seldom notice
able still when any signs of it appeared
she was given a bran mash fed hot and
was fumigated.
In order to fumigate her large spoon
full Of tar Tablespoonful of flower of sui
'phur and three or four small feathers were
placed in an.iron pan and held under her
nose; then alive'coal was dropped into the
mess, and a smoke arose horrible TO smell,
but very effecacious. As general thing
she would expel from her nostrils in a few
mmQtes after the smoking, a viscid mass,
and seem much relieved
am so well convinced of the propriety
of this treatment, that | am prepared to
recommend bran mashes hot as feed and

partook of refreshEnehts prepared for them,
and then were dismissed to their homes,
wearied after their long march, and happy
still in the thought of the pleasure which
the forty-frst anniversary of the Sunday

Judiciary Commute of House FayOring
SettIement of Sonthern II. u. Claims.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Butler,s in his
report from the Judiciary Committee, on
the Indebtedness of certain Southern rail-
roads, says most of them, and especially
those which made moderate purchases,
have settled. Several roads most largely
indebted have set up counter claims, which
are in litigation.
Suits are pending against the following
roads, for the following amounts:
East Tennessee and Virginia, S25S,S29
East Tennessee and Georgia, 1866, 1881.
Nashville and Chattanooga, 1910, S39.
Nashville and Northwestern, S47, 104.
These roads, the report says, came before
the Committee, and while protesting
against legislation designed to affect the
proceedings in court, expressed desire for
an equitable settlement without litigation
and ask that the Secretary of War, or
some competent tribunal, be authorized to
compromise differences. The Committee
consent TO this and propose to abandon
the suits.
The bill reported is in accordance with
this recommendation.

MANAGEMENT OF FARM WORK. There
is one fault among farmers which should
be reproved in strong terms. 1t is laying
out more work than can be done by the
force on the farm timely and properly. If
work cannot be done as it should be- much
better not NEEDLE with it at all. This fault
is the most observable in putting in thu
crops of the season. for some cultivated
plants will not mature unless the seeds are
sown or planted in the ground at partic-
ular time, and some farmers, in excuse for
their negligence, make an assumed trust in
Providence for their hardness in being
weeks behind the proper time in getting in
the seed. Indian corn may serve as an eX-
ample of a crop not being put in at the
proper season, as well as oats, wheat and
other crops, If the sowing of them is de-
layed beyond the proper time, the grain
will prove light, and the danger from
blight or rust greatly increased. Farm
work cannot 20 on successfully, unless the
farmer gives it his personal supervision,
and as rule in country parLaRce, will say
TO his workmen, " come bOyS,' instead of
go boyer or follow sage Benny's maxim
of poor Richard that He tCho By the plo,U
1O0UId thrive, must either hold or driue.n
Workmen may be good and faithful, but
they seldom enter into all the plans of the
farmer, and he must be the directing head
himself or much effort will be misspent
there should be no hap-h azard work on
farm. Every moment should be the re-
suit of rejecting and well matured arrange
ment; directed to a certain and definite
end. If this were so, there would be fewer
failures in farming, which are generally
the result of bad calculation and poor man
apement

A practical plumber of Boston who was
recently called to make some repairs in an
old building, the water works of which
had been damaged by rats, took with him
as helper newly engaged Hiberian. Pat

denunciatiOns of the vermin by the owner
of the building, until his employer turned
to him with

THE HATCH CASE.

The Investigation in the Senate-Report of the
Minority Committee.
The TELEGRAPH on Saturday published the
majority report of the committee on the
Hatch case, completely generating General
Babcock. The following portions of the re-
port of the minority will also be read with
interest,"
MINORITY REPORT.
Senator Schurz, from the minority of the
committee, submitted a report in which they
express regret at being obliged to dissent
from the majority in every important point
of fact.
They submit from the testimony that Mr..
Hatch is a gentleman of the highest charac
ter. The diplomatic representative of the
Dominican Government, Mr., Fabens. admits
that Hatchs private character is without re-
proach. Hatch was in Barajona while it was
in possession of the Cabral party, and when
Baezs troops took possession he was arrested
and taken to San Domingo, then to Azua, a
province then under martial law, where he
was tried before military court, a proceed
ing exceedingly barbarous in the circum-
stances attending it. The testimony shows
that Hatch had in former years incurred the
displeasure of two powerful individuals on
the island He had written articles for Ame-
rican papers rejecting on Baez, who was at
that time, 1868, in exile
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COMMITTEE.
First. Hatch, an American citizen of ire
proachable character, was arrested by the
Dominican authorities on a charge of having
aided party of revolutionists He was tried
by military commission and sentenced to
be shot, but the record of the trial shows the
whole proceeding was bsrbarous farce.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-06-27

Second. Hatch was pardoned on considera-
ton that he would leave the country, by
decree of the Dominican Senate, officially
published October 4, 1869.
Third Hatch was, in spite Of that decree.
kept in prison until the middle of March.
1870.
Fourth. President Baez, and his Secretary
of State, Gautier, in an official note addressed
to the representatives of the United States.
stated, as the reason for Hatch's continued in
carceration, after decree of pardon, that it
was feared he would injure the annexation
scheme if set free.
Fifth. Commercial Agents of the United
States, Smith and Perry, used every means
IN their power to procure the release of
Hatch.
Sixth. Babcock. sent to st. Domingo as
special agent of this Government, and having
authority to give directions to war vessels of
the United States in Dominican waters for
the protection of Baez's Government against
foreign interference, not only declined to
speak single word in favor of the release of
Hatch, but also discouraged others from
doing So
The minority believe that, aside from
Hatchs pecuniary losses, he is, in consdera-
tion of the treatment he received at the hands
of the Dominican Government, entitled to
liberal reparation. They cannot close their
report without declaring their most emphatic
dissent from the position taken by the
majority, that the imprisonment of an Ameri-
can citizen abroad, on the ground that he
might exercise an injurious influence this or
that way with regard to question of public
interest, can be justified or excused under
any circumstances.
They reject it as a doctrine utterly repug
nant to free institutions, and unprecedented
in the history of this Republic. They de-
sire also to designate the insinuation con-
tanned il the majority report that this inves-
tigation is instituted for the purpose of assail-
ing the Executive branch of the Government
as uncalled for and frivolous They would
be sorry to think that the Executive
could construe as an attack fair investigation
into the conduct of its agents
This report is signed by Senators Schurz
and Ferry.

THE CONNELLSViLLE RAILROAD.

The Construction of Branch Rsads-Contracts
Already Awarded-tSreat Activity.
Great activity is now displayed in the region
of country to be developed by the Pittsburg
and Connellsville Railroad. surprising
number of branch lines are not only pro-
jected, but surveyed and contracted for, and
some of them will be finished almost as soon
as the main line is opened for travel
Branches to Somerset, Salisbury, Bed
ford, the Uniontown Extension, and
Mount Pleasant Branch are the most notable.
The Somerset branch, from Mineral Point.
distance about ten miles, was surveyed last
springs the cost will be about $40, 900, and
the contracts for builling the same are
already made. The Mount Pleasant branch
leaves the line of the road short distance
west of Connelsville, at Bradford, and in
light grades and easy curves it passes for
ten miles through one of the richest and
most beautiful regions in Pennsylvania
Coal of the best quality, iron ore and lime
stone abound everywhere. Talk about
the West. There are better opportunities for
profitable investment of money on the line of
the railroad between Connellsville, Confluence
and above than ever were offered by Duluth,
II the positive certainties of this region of
our State are taken into consideration The
town OF Confluence, thirty miles above Con-
nellsvllle, has taken fine start this spring,
and the railroad company has appropriated
fifty thousand dollars for the erection of
workshops at this place. An-eight foot vein
of gas coal has been opened between Indian
creek and the Falls.
