FrightfuIIy Burned.

a cOlOred woman named Lucy Wright
living in house at the rear of Gennet':
store on Market street, was early last night,
while preparing supper for her family, ter.
ribly burned by her clothes taking fire. II
was at first supposed that small oil lamp
she had on the table had exploded, butthis
is ascertained not to be the case. 1t is
thought she spilled gasoline from the lamp
on her dress, which caught in flames from
the fire place. Her clothing was almost en-
tirely burned from her person. At L
O'Clock last night, the unfortunate woman
was suffering the most excruciating pain,
and the physicians present had no hope
that she would survive until day. The Oe-
curreEce, it is supposed, gave rise to the
alarm fire about I O'Clock

LEASE OF THE PENIrENrIARY.

We learn that the lease of the Peniten-
tiary which has been under negotiation for
several days past, was signed last evening
by the Inspectors Of the Penitentisry and
the parties leasing. The lessees are Maj.
Thomas O'Connor, Of Knoxville, and Col.
Robert f. Looney, of Memphis. The con-
tract was drawn by Col. J. B. HeiskeIl,
Attorney General for the State, aud its
terms are approved by the Governor.
The lease is for five years from
the lst of December next, at which time
the lessees are to take possession. They
are 70 get the labor of the convicts, the
Penitentiary buildings, shops, machinery,
Potteries and all permanent structures and
fixtures, and they obligate themselves to
keep and return them in good repair. The
State is not to be liable for loss by fire or
other casualty, nor liable to replace any
part destroyed by fire or other casualty.
For this lease the lessees are to pay the
State in United States currency thirty
thousand dollars per annum, $500 quar-
terly.
The lessees are to purchase the stock,
vehicles, material and supplies at cash
valuation, $751; 900 to be paid down, $4,000
with interest On the lst of March 1872, and
the balance on the lst Of January 1878.
These payments to be secured by endorsed
paper of undoubted Solyency and credit
negotiable in bank, and to be approved by
the inspectors. The lessees are to furnish
all supplies and pay all prison expenses ex-
cept the salaries OF the Warden,
the Assistant Warden, Surgeon
and Chaplain, and to carry out all
contracts heretofore made by the Inspec-
tors. The convicts are to be controlled by
the Warden and guards appointed by him,
the lessees to have full control and manage
ment Of the labor Of the convicts subject TO
the provisions Of the law. The work on
the Capitol grounds is to be continued at
the present rates charged by the Inspectors,
unless discontinued by the Legislature.
The leSsees are to give bonds in the sum Of
Sl30,000, with sufficient security, to be re-
newed annually, for the faithful perform
ance of their obligations.
This is a highly important lease,and judg-
ing from the past history Of the Penitentia-
", most profitable one to the State. In
addition to the actual pecuniary profit to
the State, it is matter Of great advantage
70 have such an institution taken from the
field of politics, and placed under the man
agement Of gentlemen of business capacity
and strict integrity.
Maj. O'Connor and Col. Looney are both
extensively and favorably known in the
State. Maj. O'Comor viii, we learn, have
charge Of the business management of
the concern, and from his energy and sue
cess in life, united with the prudence and
segacity of Col. Looney, they will doubtless
make their enterprise one of great profit to
themselves as well as to the State.
