A WOMAN,s TERRIBLE FATE.

Confined In Burning Wagon by n RUM
way Horse, She j. Slowly Roasted 20
Death.
A Wilmington (Del.,) paper says:
About the middle OF the afternoon, per-
sons living near Cathedral cemetery
we're startled by screams coming from
market wagon that was rolling on at a
brisk pace toward the Pennsylvania line.
1t was seen that the wagon was on fire
within, and when the person driving
finally succeeded in bringing the horse
TO stand, negro rushed out to find
the wagon mass OF fire, and its sole
occupant, woman beyond the middle
age, completely enveloped in flames.
She was helped out, her clothing now
being nearly burnt off, and the man who
came to her assistance tore of the burn
ing shreds that still clung to her, leav-
ing her entirely nude upon the roadside.
She was able 10 give her name as Mrs.
John Lacy, Of New Garden, Chester
county, Pa.
Further help coming, the unfortunate
woman was conveyed a few hundred
yards back to saloon and DIR. Dunning
was Immediately sent for. The doctor
found her terribly burned from the chin
to the soles of her feet. The balls of
her fingers were burnt off and even
the bones charred. She was at once
wrapped in cotton and liniment of lin
seed oil and lime water was applied. AS
soon as this was accomplished, she was
at her own request laid on feather
bed and driven to the house of her sister,
there she fingered until a few minutes
before one o'clock the next morning,
when she breathed her last. Strange as
it may seem to persons unacquainted
with the science of medicine, Mrs. Lacy
suffered no pain after the flames were
extinguished, fact accounted for on the
ground of the surface nerves being par.
alyzed by the communication with the
nerve. centers thus cut off. She was able
to give an intelligent account of the ac-
cident and its origin. She was driving
home from market with q quantity Of
cotton batting in her wagon, which she
expected to use in quilting. When a
little beyond the cemetery she discover
ed that a quantity of matches in the
wagon had by some means become ignit-
cd, firing the cotton and her clothing.
The full horror of thesituation at once
burst upon her, and to make matters
worse she found it impossible to stop
her horse, as the animal, anxious to get
home, was hurrying obstinately forward
at pace that every moment famed the
flames to flercer heat. Thus she rode
along Cor full quarter Of mile, literal
ly roasting alive. She finally succeeded
in stopping the horse, when the negro
came to her assistance, and found her in
the horrible condition already described.
DR.. Dunning says that the road was
strewn with ashes and debris from the
wagon, showing how the flames must
bave ragged round the poor woman as
she sat powerless while the self-willed
horse hurried her onward through the
bitterest stages OF a horrible death.

What He Wanted.

He dropped into Jones blrber shop
at time when the place was empty.
Mr.. Jones said good morning with pro-
fessional gravity, and his visitor
stretched himself out in the chair.
Fine weather, eh p queried the tonso.
rial artist.
oh, you bet it is fine weather; you
bet it is fine weather; it is just simply
the finest kind of weather; you can't find
finer weather than this in the poetic
portions of a dime novel,.
1T is pretty fine, sir went on Mr..
Jones.
That's just what I've been telling
you; there's no doubt at all about the
fneness Of this weather.
Shave, sir =
Not this morning. Well, sir, TO re,
turn to the weather, this reminds me of
summer long ago when L wandered in
the woodland and plucked the violet
from the brookside in boyish glee.
would you like to have your mus
tache trimmed?'
Not much; it doesn't need it this
weather.
Don't you want your hair cutP p
Il don't fancy that do, my dear sir,
replied the stranger, with broad grin.
DO you want a shampooP'
Mary shampoo
ANY soap, pomade, combs and
brushes or hair greaseP 1 have daz-
zling assortment.
Il don't want to purchase anything
to-day
And then Mr.. Jones, in blank aston
ishment, asked
We'll, what do you wantP'
Don't want anything
Then why did you come in here?'
why did 1 come in here2 Well, I'll
tell you. I saw that your chairs were
nice and easy, and that you seemed to be
deserted and lonely, &c thought I'd
just drop in, rest myself little and
have sociable talk with you
And then he ambled out, leaving the
barber SO petrifed with amazement that
he shaved six men before he remarked:
Hairs getting little thin on top,
sir. Better try bottle Of my Capillary
Coaxer.'

A Murderer's Suicide.

Edward Parr had been on trial in
Philadelphia for the murder of his
daughter, whom he stabbed to death be-
cause she would not yield to his incest
uous designs. The jury brought in q
verdict of murder in the first degree,
and the prisoner was brought up for
sentence. He admitted having done
the deed, but palliated that his rash act
was the sudden outburst Of passion
brought on by harsh words from his
daughter. Judge Elcock pronounced
sentence, earnestly beseeching the pris-
oner to beg pardon Of the Almighty for
his depraved life, adding that his sad
end was but the natural termination OF
his checquered career. When the sem
tence was passed, Parr sat down, put
his handkerchief to his mouth, and i'm
mediately fell over, frothed at the mouth
and trembled in his every limb. The
cry arose that he had taken strychnine
and was dying. Medical assistance was
instantaneously summoned, but the IN
fortunate man rigidly kept his teeth
closed against the use of emetiCs. For
fully three hours did he lay in coma.
tose condition. Previous to his removal
from prison he told one Of the wardens
that he would never see him alive again,
and to a daughter he remarked couple
of days ago that he had some strychnine
hidden away in corner Of his coat with
which to balk the scaffold. The man
died after few hours suffering.
The prisoners life has been one OF the
most depraved, and cannot be equaled
in fact or fiction. And this depravity
seems to be hereditary, as it sways almost
every member of his family, several
members Of which have seen tho wrong
side of many prisons for various thefts
and frauds, and the daughter whom he
murdered left child five years Of age
by her slayer.

A Sketch from Life.

A plumbing establishment few days
ago took on a new hand Just arrived
from Wales. On the day after his arri-
val water.pipe in downtown estab-
lishment burst. He was told to go and
attend to it. Seeing the owner of the
house in the shop, he went up to him
and got the particulars of the accident,
and then he made ready his tools and
started. Just as he was going out Of
the door the proprietor saw him.
where are you going? he screamed.
The new man told him.
'Do you mean to tell me that you are
going down there to tx that pipe with
out examining it ? he gasped.
why, am going to look at it when 1
get there" said the man.
'Merciful Heaven I calculated his en-
ployer, catching hold of the desk to
support himself, 'can it be possible that
you would do a job at one visit? Don't
you know your trade better than that2
Have you no pride in your business
Why, you'd Iuin the entire community
in less than a year 7
And the speaker burst into tears. AS
soon as he grew calmer he explained to
the new man that he should first visit
the house and make thorough exam
ination Of the building, get the lay of
the streets, find the location Of the near
est hydrant, go upon the roof Of the
house, and then return thoughtfully to
the shop for his tools, keeping On accu-
rate record OF the time.

New Orleans Complaint.

The Louisiana State auditors report
for last year shows that the total amount
Of taxes paid in that State was 1915, 4S5
by New Orleans and $69, 1856 by the
parishes. The portion paid by the
parishes producing crops Of 400 900
bales of cotton and 10, 900 hogsheads Of
molasses did not contribute taxes sufli.
cient to pay the salaries Of their Judges
and district attorneys. The city OF New
Orleans, in fact, has to provide for all
the expenses Of the State government, the
public schools, the charitable institu-
tions and tho levees throughout the
State. In the matter Of licenses the
city paid $155, Ala and the parishes
$l07,349. The whole amount paid by
the parishes for taxes and licenses was
$685. ,261, which is not one-half Of one
per cent. on their receipts for the cotton
and sugar crops. The parishes complain
of high taxes, though paying 80 little,
and by their delegates in the constitu.
tional convention override the voice Of
the city members representing the sec~
tion Of the State that pays seven times
the amount OF taxes paid by the par.
ishes.

Do AS YOU'RE BID.

Mind a man 7
The words were uttered in tone Of
splendid scorn; but an unseen auditor
round the corner Of the piazza only
smiled: and yet he was man.
But, Doll, you will have to mind your
husband, responded a gentle, drawing,
exasperating voice.
Shall p returned the clear and spirit
ed note of the first speaker. He has
not appeared on the stage yet, Grace.
When he does, it seems to me, will be
time enough to contemplate submission.
The gentleman on the piazza smiled
again, but he rose quickly, and walked
away; he did not like to be listener,
however involuntarily, for he was a
gentleman. He did not altogether es-
cape that presence, however, by his own
absence. He carried with him vivid
picture of the tall, Blight figure, grace
full as deer; the dark, tender eyes, that
could be full of lightning; the proud,
delicate, sensitive face; the abundant
brown hair, shot with red rays, like o
ripe chestnut skin. He had studied this
portrait many days, for he had known
Dorothea Schenck as o child; and though
for years they had not met, this sum-
mer they were together at quiet little
tavern in the hills OF Vermont, Mr..
Horton for restafter year of hard work
in city parish, Dora to be with her in
valid mother, who could not bear her
usual round of Newport and Saratoga.
Dorothea Schenok was spoiled child.
The idea of obedience was as distasteful
to her rs bit and bride to q wild horse.
Her outbreak this morning was excited
by some careless gossip of Grace Ham
ilton's-a girl Of her own age who had
come with them to Adds, partly because
Dora had coaxed her, partly because it
was cheap; and Grace was not too rich.
The subject OF their discourse had
been the suffering, publicly pOraded, Of
certain little lady known to this party,
who bad been very-Nnd, indeed, ab.
surdly--extravagant, and brought her
husband TO the brink OF failure: 80 near
that she had been compelled to accept O
sudden and severe retrenohment. Grace's
aunt, who was also staying at the Saltash
house, had blamed Mrs. Blake severely,
and Dora had not objected till Grace
affirmed that she did not at all sympa--
thize with Mrs. Blake, as her husband
had been very open with her in regard
to his business affairs, and had long
since told her she must give up certain
habits Of lavish expense, or expect him
to fail--a fact which the natural levity
and folly of the woman's nature led her
to treat as threat; and so the end came.
And I'm not sorry for her she ought
to have minded him I Grace said. "A
woman's nature is obedience; she ought
to have known that il ia our destiny to
yield to our superiors,' whined Miss
Hamilton; and this, which seemed to
Dora superlative cant, had brought out
her sharp exclamation. She herself
was utterly undisciplined: blind indul-
gence had set her adrift in life without
an idea of duty, and che had yet to learn
any law but her own will, or any re-
straint but her own caprices. Mr.. Horton
was bewitched with Dora against his
Judgment; her fresh, piqusnt grace, her
beatty, her very insurgent way Of action
and speech, captiyated him; he knew
with painful cleNrness that she was as

Singular Fatal Accidents.

Strange mischances with fatal results
are daily happening here and there. A
Boston butcher ran against knife that
lay on o block, severed an artery, and
bled to death. A Denver woman caught
her foot in a railroad frog, and could not
get loose before a train ran over her. A
Vermont farmer sneezed with straw in
his mouth, drew it into his lungs, and
died choking. A horse kicked Michi-
gan boy into deep well, where he was
drowned. The shoe few off the foot OF
kicking mule, in Nashville, and frac-
tured the skull Of baby. An Oregon
girl swallowed her engagementring, and
lived only q week afterward. While
standing on his head, on the top OF q
high fence post, an Iowa boy lost his
balance, fell into q tub Of hot water,
and was fatally scalded. A stone
thrown by playfellow, broke o glass
from which ST. Louis boy was drink

his throat, and he died few days after

The Sun Never Sets on the United

The Sun Never Sets on the United
States.
Few people are aware that the proud
boast Of Englishmen that the sun never
sets on the British empire is equally ap-
plicable to the United States. Instead
OF being the western limit OF the Union,
San FraLc cisco is only about midway be-
tween the furthest Aleutian Isle, &C.
quired by our purchase of Alaska, and
Eastport, Me. Oar territory extends
through 1877 degrees Of longitude, or
II degrees more than half way round the
globe. The Rooky Mountain Presby-
terian, in commenting on this sfOct, says:
when the sun is giving its goodnight
kiss TO our wcsternmost isle, on the con-
fines Of Behring's sea, it is already food
ing the fields and forests Of Maine with
its morning light, and in the eastern
part Of that State is more than an hour
high. AT the very moment when the
Altutian fisherman, warned by the ap-
preaching shades OF night, is pulling his
canoo toward the shore, the wood-ohop-
per Of Maine is beginning TO make the
forest echo with the stirring music Of

Character in the Olden Time.

In a.recent letter referring to the early
history Of some towns in New York, OK
Governor Seymour says: All things
were rude and new sixty years ago; but
men were men in those days. The
stern, rough duties Of life developed
character. Common interests, free as
sociation and the duties OF organizing
society made men wise, aud filed the
minds Of those who lived in log cabins
with sense Of seIf-respect and manhood
which we do not always see now in
great cities, in grand homes and amid
the displays Of wealth and luxury. I
have seen much OF men, Of social life, Of
dignity in these days Of our couutry's
greatness; but my mind turns back with
reverence and respect fer the strong,
wise men Who laid tho foundation Of our
prosperity
