J Christmas morning, between ri auJA 3
o'clock, residents in the neighborhood d

awakened by leud screams, eminating
from the backyard Of So4 thirteenth

girl. named Florence Washington, resid>

as We can learn, from an eyewitness to
the burning; the victim herself being ton
drunk to give any account OF. it, are a.
follows: It appears that the girl was in>
toxicated, and that she was carried by
James Parker and Dennis johnson from
Burly's restaurant on D street, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth, to the house Of
James Parker. No. 304 1hirteeath street

shrouded in mystery but from the fact
that she was shortly afterwards found in
back yard envelopsd in flames, and her
clothing being soaked with coal oil, the
supposition is that some fiends set fire to
her clothing after having soaked them in
coal oil and carried her out into the back
yard. The victim of this brutal act is
burned dreadfully, no part Of her person
having escaped except her head and face

SHE FOUND HER MAN.

The Eureka Leader of Wednesday relates
thc following:
This incident was related to lis in strict
confidence, but we will vouch for its correct
ness, 1t happened not more than a mile from
the Presbyterian church, and caused consider
able excitement for the time being A young
lady of the family, charming damsel of some
eighteen summers, bid the family aud gentle
man roemer gond night, and proceeded to her
caa,aher. After disr"bng, she, with tradition
al curiosity to feminines, looked under the
bed-and found horrid man. Generally,
people are well satisfied when they find what
1aey are looking after; but it seemed to have
startling effect on her, Judging by a series
- screams emitted, that in intensity and vol
ume would have shamed the Consolidated
whistle. She wildly fed from the sleeping
room and sought safety i'll the parlor, where
she burst upon the gaze of the occupants a
white robed and badly scared angel. As soon
Al her fright had subsidized sufficiently to give
hysteriCal explanation of her conduct, the
family resolved themselves into an investi-
eating committee, and started out to explore
tae premises. The fact that window open
nag the porch was wide open, gave some
cpor to the young ladys alarm; but the bird
had flown. and made good his escape. What
the intrnders object could have been, is
aeyend solving; but there is no doubt that the
girl will be confirmed in her habit of explor-
ing underneath her couch.

THANKSGIVING IN EUREKA.

There is not much fashion in the reproduc-
ton of that which comes latter the fair "
We are mainly too selfish to care for the past
They who mourn ofttimes marry; and they
who bury forget to place gravestones to mark
the earth wherein lie their beloved. The
literature of day perishes (too often) with
the day which called it into life. But there
are some things designed to be ephemeral
which merit the survival of 1.-The fttest." OF
such is the following which We find in the
Eureka Leader of Wednesday: owe of Eu-
reka have been particularly favored during
the past year, and have especial cause to give
thanks for the many blessings that have been
rouchsafed US. An era of prosperity is upon
rs, and no community upon the face of the
broad earth ENJOYS larger share of mercies
than does our town to-day. There is no suf
fsring, no want, and but few of the ills that
life is burdened with to tinge with regrets
the holiday. Here, among the barren wastes
and desolate hills, the pursuit of wealth and
happiness is within the reach of all Generous
nature, forbidding in her eternal robes, has
scanned the mountains with riches, and our
veins of silver and gold yield abundantly and
furnish all with permanent and profitable EN-
yloymeut Peace and plenty reigns, and the
future is bright with promise.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

The following story is told by the Eureka
Leader of Wednesday:
Mr.. Tognini last evening received the news
of NEST horrible accident the victim OF
which being Giovana Angelo Margorali. He
was employed at coal-pit, seven miles from
Joe Winzelps ranch, west of Mineral Station.
The pit had been burnt and the deceased was
engaged in watching it. On the night of the
25th it is supposed that fire broke out in
the coal, and that in endeavoring to extin-
guish the flames he became exhausted and
fell into the burning mass. John Eseere, a
workman at the same place, on visiting the
pit on the morning of the 26th, discovered
Margoralis body in the live Goals. He
grasped the unfortunate mans legs and at
tempted to pull him out, but the roasted
flesh peeled away from the bones. Assistance
was procured and the poor victims remains
we're removed from the pit, but he was literally
baked and burned beyond all recognition. A
coffin was sent down this morning, and the
body will be brought to Schwamb's undertak-
ing rooms for burial. Margorali had been
employed at the pit for the last three months,
was industrious and had the esteem of his
countrymen. He has no relatives here, but
leaves family of four children in Italy. He
was man of fine physique, aged about a
years, and was steady, faithful workmen.

MIGHTY, RUSHING WIND.
Houses Lcyeled to the Ground, Fences Swept Away ana Timber Strewn Broad
 cast before the wind.

Last Friday the sky had been over cast with threatening clouds through out the day. About dusk the heavens gave forth strong premonitions of the storm which soon burst forth in wild fury. Peal after peal of thunder re- Veroerated across the canopied space above and the forked lightnings played across the skies in one almost uninter- rupted glare. Large drops of rain came dashing earthward and the storm was at hand. The flood-gates of heaven seemed to be opened up and in perfect torrents the waters were poured forth. Driven by the tornado of wind which swept from the southeast the water penetrated over doors, under windows, through roofs and wherever creYice could be found. Here in town the damage was confined to fences blown down, goods damaged by leaky roofs and cabin unroofed in the western part of town. In the nelghborhood of shiloh Church the damage was more severe. Mir. Crandall, who lives near the church, reports his,stable unroofed and blown some 20 step from where it stood.

Ni4inDl-GRAS NOTES.

Which one of the boys had to bor- row money to get hone on.
 ---Iiow was it that George was. tired and sleepy too when lie got back from Mardi-Gras.
 Think Frank J. and some of the other boys had to pay sleeping-car fare up the road from Mardi-Gras.
 Wonder if our Sheriff and his Dep- uty have returned from Mardi-Gras yet; they seemed to be enjoying them selves hugely when we left.
 some of the boys must take less lager, or get spectacles at next Mardi- Gras, as we hear that some of them could not tell black from white. We'll, one of them was an old man anyway.
 The Scottville boys could not change their clothes quick enough to make connection with the train for Mardi- Gras and got left. Boys don't listen to the Jews next time.
