A HUSBAND ACCIDENTALLY KILLS
HIS WIFE-One of the most horrible af-
fairs occurring recently was the death of
Andrew Kraues's wife in Cleveland,
few evenings ago. He was using beuzine
to destroy vermin in a bedstesd, when
some Of the liquid he had just poured on
took ere from candle in his hand, and
blazed up gently. A little daughter in
the room was scared into screaming, and
the mother, who was out doors, FASTENED
in turning around 10 quiet the child,
dropped a spark from the candle wick In
to the fluid, which he held in a small open
dish, when it broke out in fearful blaze.
He rushed to the door and threw the
burning liquid out just as his wife was
entering, the whole of it falling upon her
clothing. The awful realization of this
act breaking suddenly upon his mind, he
was 80 confused that he did not know
what it was wisest to do, and began with
his hands endeavoring to scrspe down
the flames from the body. Two men hear
ing the cries from the street and seeing
the flames, ran to her assistance, but be-
fore they could render any aid every par
ticle of clothing was burned from Der
body, except a small band passing around
her waist She was taken into the house,
her clothes and hair burned off, and her
whole body in perfect crisp-a CHASTITY
spectacle indeed. Medical remedies were
applied, but nothing seemed adequate to
relieve her suffering. She was tortured
by the most distressing agony. to which
she gave expression in wild screams, dur
ing five hours, when death relieved her.
Her husband was frightfully burned
about the arms in his desperate endeavors
to save the life of the woman, but seems
unmindfnl of it, while he mourns the
death Of his wife, declaring continually
that he, himself, has killed her.

WHY Mr.. DICKINSON WAS ASSASSIN.
ATED.-The Florida Union published at
Jacksonville says under the head Of 1.-THE
Vote in Jackson County" that the Mari
anna Courier, in speaking of the vote in
Jackson county, on the constitutional
amendments, says that the total vote cast
was 435, all white and all for the amend
ments, and adds that "the thorough dis
regard of the election by the colored ele-
ment was very marked and showed train
ing"
This inference is utterly without found
alton as the facts will show. A few weeks
before the election, Captain ]. @. Dickin-
son, who had charge of republican party
matters in that county, wrote to the
Secretary of the Republican State Execu-
tive Committee, stating that he under
stood certain parties were advising that
the amendment should be defeated, and
expressed his own views in favor of rati-
flying them and asked for instructions
from the Committee. In reply to this
letter, the Secretary of the Committee APP
proved of Captain Dickinson's views, and
advised him to throw the colored vote for
the amendments. Printed ballots, in
favor of the amendments, were also sent
| to him.
The reason why the oolored people did
not vote is plain. On the night before
the election Captain Dickinson was assas
sinated. On the morning of the election
his dead body lay in the street in Marian
ma, and the colored people, who looked tC
him for advice and leadership, filled with
sorrow and CONSERVATION, fed to their
own homes and let the election go.

Letter to Zero.

We are gratified for the implied COM
pliment that eur style of writing has been
considerably modified, but do not think
the improvement il altogether on one
side. Your articles referring to us are
improved in several ways. First, you
don't write as much. Second, you don't
write as often, Third, you don't stick to
your subject, but change, and may get
around where you belong in time.
Our young lady friends have been
keeping strict guard over us ever since
we commenced correspondence with you,
they are as anxious as ever to know your
age, and whether you are rich or poor
(if you do not recollect the exact figures,
you can guess as you did about Mrs. Slo.
Gums friend and the handicapped table,
We begin to think you either aged or at
fieted with bad memory, or you would
recollect, in the same essay in which you
informed us you were bachelor, you
said, "Linnie Lee can send us private
letter if she likes" And previous to that
you requested your friends to COMMUNE
cate with you by mail, without stating
such letters were to be items of general
interest for publication. I would like to
inquire if when bachelor assures a lady
he is a bachelor, and intends remaining
such, he intends it as an offer of marriage,
and further, if "swooning" is the usual
accompaniment; if so, does it mean yes or
no? make these inquiries as you seem
to understand such matters, (you must
have had experience,) and want to know
which role to play when the proper time
comes, as I have always observed the
more weak minded man ridicules a
woman before the public, the more atten-
tive and complimentary he is in private.
l have no idea of trying the coup of cold
pisen" at present, not even as an antidote
for your essays, but would like to inquire
If the ladies are in the habit of taking
"pisen" on your account lit would seem
altogether unnecessary if they have an
opportunity of reading your beautiful
essays) As for doing something desper.
ate, have done the most desperate thing
I could do, have written you letter.
