A HORRIBLE HOUSE BURNING
Two Children Burned to Death in
Iowa County-The Mother Fatal
~ Burned in Trying to Rescue
Them.
iowa City Press, Oct. 2s.)


Yesterday morning abont ten O'Clock
a terrible calamity fell upon tho house
Of Sylvester Starkweatller, of North
English Hinkletown, English township,
Iowa county. He was at work in the
fields a mile and u hall from the house,
and Mrs. Starkweather was at work in
the yard n short distance from the house.
when she saw flames breaking forth
from the upper windows. Realizing
that her children, two little girls, three
and five years old, were in the upper
rooms, she rushed to the house, and
made her way up the narrow stairs,
through the sitting smoke and flame: at
the head of the stairs she was overcome
by the fire and forced back from the
children, then in the agony of a horri-
bic death. Her clothing was burned
from her person, even TO the shoes on
her feet, and she was left an almost
unacceptable crisp. OF the bodies OF
the children, tie only distinct remains
left were the charred fragments Of the
back tone about eighteen inches In
length.
Tho origin of the fire is not known.
but it is supposed TO have been caused
by the children playing with matches.
The unfortunate father and husband
bereft Of children, wife, property and
almost reason, commands the deepest
sympathy and aid of every one. lie is a
poor, hard working man, who by labor
and economy had gathered about him
the comforts of a little home, now swept
away at one hard blow.
With the house was burned the barn,
out-buildings, hay, corn bins, granary
in q woodworking he possessed.
The loss in money is not learned nor as
to insurance, yet these though severe,
are nothing to the poor man, in COM
parison with the dreadful taking away
Of all that made labor easy and life deai
to him,

A Terrible Ravage,

We are informed by DR.. 10. l.. Cart
wright, N of the largest aud best
farmers in Hcaths Creek township,
that he has lost since the first of last
May, eleven hundred hogs! His hogs
were all blooded, of the Berkshire
breed, and he estimates his loss at
eight thousand dollars. lie is now
losing hogs at the rate of six daily.
There is nothing that seems to stay
the ravages OF this disease. The Doc
tor has changed pasturage, diet and
treatment all to nc effect. Other far
mers in the neighborhood have suf-
feed severely from this disease, but
strange to say it has never reached
the southera part o. the country

The yellow fever has not yet wholly
disappeared at Savannah. The total
number of internients on Sunday last
was nine, of which five were yellow
fever cases. Two OF the deceased were
refugees who returned to this city last
week. Absentees are urged not to re-
turn until frost sets in. The physicians
at Brunswick, Ga, that the
epidemic is over at that place, for want
of material. There are now about four
hundred sick and convalcscing. and bnt
very few whites who have not had the
disease. Residents who are away, and
all strangers, are warned that while the
fever. as an epidemic, is over, it would
not be safe for them to return until after
q good heavy frost. The whole number
Of deaths is Ill, 92 whites and 40 blacks.

Tho election was tho all absorbing
svsht Of the week. Toward II all
attention was directed, and uni
vsrsal interest felt in the result. A

bis 10 give fnli reports Of the nation
81 election. Tho oficial tabular state
mcnt Of the vote In Andrew will DO
found on our first page. Every Re-
publican candidate was elected. with
the exception Of Mr.. Sanders, candi-
date for Prosecuting Attorney,
though. tho contest between several
was exceedingly close, that for Sher-
IN especially.
The election Ia this place passed
on with remarkable quiet and good
order. The people seemed to be I'M
pressed with the Importance aud SOL
emnity Of The occasion, and met the
duties OF the hour in a becoming
manner. The fact. also. that the
Mayor, upon numerous solicitations,
requested the saloons to be closed,-
which request, we believe. was COM
Piled with,-doubtless contributed
largely to this result.
As regards the national election,
dispatches published yesterday morn
ing's papers, Indicate the election Of
Tilden. Complete returns may
change this result. and 9 few days
moro will be required to determine
Il with certainty.

decidedly more favorable for Hayes,
than that of yesterday. Tho vote
will DO very close.
Tho latest reports late this evening
say New York has gone Republican
