Two Children Burned to Death by = Dis
Isx5i charged Domestic.
From the Paducah Kentuckian. October 4th
s Some weeks ago a woman calling
herself Bridget Malhony applied to
DR.. Jackson, of Columbus, KY, for
the place of cook. Employment was
given her, and for short while she
gave satisfaction. A few days ago
the doctor noticed some irregularities
in her life, and notified her that she
must look out for another home. This
appeared to infuriate her beyond con-
troll the pent-up devil in her nature
burst forth in fury of passion that
sent the doctor scamperiDg for the
police and the family for an asylum of
safety. When he returned Bridget
had departed, leaving his mirrors and
furniture awreek! 1t appears that,
from mistaken kindness, she was
not prosecuteds but allowed. 10 depart
From his residence she
went to thelhotei or boarding house
kept by an estimable German Catholic
named SWitzher, near the M. and o.
Railroad. She easily imposed herself
upon the good nature of this lady, and
was permitted to stop with her, pay
ing her board in work. She behaved
badly again, and Mrs. s. discharged
her. Instead of going off, however,
she went up into Mrs. SIS room Git
was Immediately after breakTast) and
sent forsthis lady from the dining
room. m w hen she got into her pres
-ence she commenced to abuse her in a
most shameful manner. Mrs. Switz-
her tried to quiet her; aud expressed
sympathy for her. bridget told her
that she had better sympathize with
herself, and made at her. Mrs, s.
rushed down stairs, leaving her three
children, consisting of a little boy four
years old, two daughters aged respec-
lively sikI and ten, in the room, The
oldest says that the two children were
in the bed, with the musquito bar
fastened down around it, and that
Bridget deliberately took the lamp
and saturated the bed and children
with coal oil and fired it. Before as
sistance could reach them the passage
was solid. sheet of fame, and the
two children were burned with the
house and most of the furniture. The
fiend is in prison, and the poor moth
er nearly distracted with grief at her
terrible loss. i-s'' I.

TEE recent loss Of life from chloro-

THE recent loss of life from chloro-
form, at Boston, Is a. fresh warning
against its use for dental operations.
There are surgical cases where its use
is deemed necessary by experienced
physicians, but in such trifing affairs
as tooth-drawing the risk is ont of all
proportion to the advantage. A dem
tist who employs it should be held re-
spoDsible for its use, and if the result
is fatal should be tried for manslaugh
ter. There is no excuse for tampering
with human life when comparatively
harmless an8sthetlcs would serve
every purpose, if, indeed, any is really
needed.-N. Y. Tribune. si q p ssss

The fee to a member of Congress,
or any other officer who uses his influ-
ence improperly under the pretense
of acting as counsel, is really q bribe.
No sophistry can change the character
of the transaction. The abuse is con-
stantly growing, and until laws are
made prohibiting the members of Con-
gress, of Legislatures and municipal
tiles, from acting as counsel in any
matter which is probable to come be-
fore them, or by which the public in-
terests which they are chosen to guard
will be affected, the abuse and injury
will increase.-E httadelp lpbid Inquirer

A Glorious Victory

The returns are very meagre, but
quite sufficient to warrant the DemOc-
racy in shouting over most substan-
tial victory. It is quite impossible to
state the majority on the State ticket,
but it is estimated at from 1900 to
30O00i 1t is pretty certain that the
Democrats have carried eleven of the
twenty members of Congress, and
perhaps more. The Districts claimed
as certain for the Democrats are !:
First. Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth,
Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Four
teenth and Twentieth, and probably
the Seventeenth. This is glory enough
for one day. lut

The election for members of the

passed off quietly. Scarcely any op-
