bic TO me how you can favor Improvements and
at the same time seek TO destroy the Off GERS
charged by law with carrying them on. You
mistake me very much when you suppose will
co operate with you to tie the hands of the
board. am not their advocate On the con-
trafv, some OF them are as obnoxious to me as
tn you; but the man who would place personal
feeling against the highest interests OF the pee.
pie cannot receive nv support. Washington

the nation. An effort is now being made to lift
the capital OF the country into the front rank of
the great capitals of the world; and rejoice

A FLORIDA TRAGEDY,

n L00y S0VuraueS ktcr ClOtnlmG WITH
Kerosene OIL and Sets Fire to IL.
One OF the most distressing affairs we have ever
been called upon to notice took place In Tallahas-
see, Fla, few days ago. Mrs. A. wSPace, wife Of
popular and successful Jacksonville merchant,
and daughter Of Mr.. George Damon, prominens
merchant in Tallahassee, seemed to be suffering
from some mental arrangement, and thinking 8
change OF scene and surroundings might cure her
incipient malady her husband tcck her to her pa
rents and friends in Tallahassee. That night, soon
alter her arrival at her fathers house. she called
the family around her and prayed and exh0rte0
them to prepare for q great and sad calamity.
None had any idea that she was c0ntem-
plating anything like sclfdeatructlon. The next
morning early her father went out to procure Q
bottle OF wine for her. and after his departure
she took a Kerosene lamp or can, and saturatinQ
her garments from head to foot, put match to it.
and in moment was envelOped In the names. Her
husband and Others hearing her shrieks, ran to her
rescue, and throwing q bucket OF water over her.
endeavored to extingulsh the flames. This proved
unavailing, and her husband, seizing a blanket.
threw 1t around her, and finally succeeded in nut.
ting out the names, but not until the poor victim
was burned to such an extent that she died IN =,
few hours after the most intense suffering Mrn
Pace was quite young and had been married
about three or four years. Two years ago she wsa
the happy wife OF devoted husband whose suc-
cess in business had placed him In comfortable cr.
cumstances. At that time the writer saw the bappv
pair at their own luxurious home in Jacksonville.
