A WOMAN Fatally BURNED. Las1
Saturday evening a terrible accident
occurred at the rectoryaof the Catholic
Church in this town. A colored wo-
man named Ann, employed as o SER
want at the rectory, was standing with
her back to the fireplace, ironing clothes
when her dress caught fire and in o
Aery few moments she was enveleped
! in flames. Father Cunpens was quick
ly at hand, and tearing off his cassock
lie threw it around the woman, extin-.
gushing the,ehames AS promptly "a il
possible to do, but not in season to save
her life, her injuries being SO severe
that she died in a few hours after the
accident. Father Guppens suffered
for his bravery and presence of mind
by having his arm seriously burned.
causing him 30 much pain that he was
unable to 0fliciate at the services of the
church for several days afterwards.
We are glad to learn, however, that
the injnren. member is. rapidly improv-
ing and that the reverend gentleman
Is again able to perform his ministerial
duties. The unfortunate, woman whose
life was sacrificed by this lamentable
accident was buried in the Catholic GEM
etery tile day following her death.

the evening, Coles furnishing the lemonade.
A sawdust pile on the opposite side Of the

fire yesterday afternoon and created quite q

things lively but that the wind was blowing
in the opposite direction. The mill force
quickly extinguished the fire.

TIE DUELM.

The recent arrest of Measrs. Guild and
George in Virginia on the charge of intend
ing to fight duel is an indication of the
fact that q new civilization is dawning upon
the Old Dominion. It is within the recol-
lection of every person of adult age that
even the slightest insults offered by one per-
son to another were deemed sufficient to
warrant the fighting of a duel and as palia-
ton for the shedding of blood. The State
courts, in case arrests were made, condoned
the ofenses by the infection of merely NOM
inal penalties, while society lionized the hero
of the affair and nerved him to deeds of a
similar nature.
There are offenses against the person or
character of an individual that can only be
atoned for by the life of the offender. It is
better that the penalty should be enforced
by the law whenever possible, but the crimi-
nal laxity of those charged with the enforce
ment of the law furnishes good excuse fol-
persons aggrieved to take the law into their
own hands in extreme cases. But there is
no excuse whatever for the practice of duel
ing. When a mortal offense is committed
the criminal is entitled to no more considera.
ton than dog. If the offense is of less
magnitude he is entitled to a hearing and
should be punished as the law directs. A
resort to the code is cowardly in one sense
and breeds injustice in another, and should
not be tolerated in any civilized community.
We are glad to chronicle the fact that the
first persons to feel the strong arm of the
law are men of prominence. It cannot here.
after be urged that there is discrimination
between the rich and the poor. The spirit
of the times revolts against the barbarisn
that impels resort to arms on any occasion
to avenge real or fancied insult. Only the
most serious of crimes will warrant such ex
treme measures, and to resort to suct
measures for lesser offenses is nothing less
tnan crime amounting to murder in inten
if not in fact.

selecting a Team or Soldiers for Creedmoor
During last spring orders were issued
from Gen. Sheridan's headquarters directing
that team be selected from the military di-
vision OF the Missouri to compete with civil
Ian marksmen at the Creedmoor contest.
In compliance with these instructions q
school of practice was organized at Fort
Smelling for the department of Dakota. The
intention was to give the best soldier marks
men OF the regiments serving in the depart
ments OF Texas, the Missouri, the Platte
and Dakota target trial, and then select
slx from each of these departmental schools,
and transfer them for further practice to
Fort Leavenworth. There, after months
trial, team of twelve will be selected with
four alternates, for the Creedmoor contest,
which takes place this fall.
The following order names the best
marksmen of this department:

SMALL BILLS FOR CHANGE.

There is a great scarcity of small notes
in circulation-so great as to prove serious
Inconvenience to the country. There are
several reasons for this, some of them avoid
able, others unavoidable. In the first place
the national bank notes of q smaller de-
nomination than five dollars are now illegal,
and as fast as presented at the banks issuing
no doubt, a considerable contraction in
small notes affected on account of the law
prohibiting the issuance of small notes by
national banks after resumption. In adj
dition to this it has been the policy of the
secretary of the treasury to withhold from
circulation as much of the greenback cur
rency as possible that is sent in for redemp-
ton or replacement. It naturally occurs
that the small bills, being most in
use, are the most worn and the most fire.
quently sent to the treasury for replacement.
Characteristically Mr.. Sherman has delayed
the issuance of new bills as long as possible,
and hence the present stringency. This
might be avoided if the standard silver dol
lars boarded in the treasury were issued, but
it Is contrary to Mr.. Sherman's interests to
place these in circulation. Consequently
the business community is permitted to suf-
fer for want of conveniences necessary for
trade.
There ought to be some concerted action
taken by the business men throughout the
country with view to compelling Secretary
Sherman to conform to the law. sufficient
quantity of small bills are authorized by law,
and if they are only kept circulating there
could be no inconvenience what.
ever in the transaction of bust
ness. The silver dollars would supply the
place of the retired and retiring national
bank notes, and there would be no COM
plants of any nature whatever. We are de-
cidedly OF the opinion that Mr.. Sherman is
too independent, too prone to following his
own headstrong will, regardless of the con-
venience or wishes of others. It is nearly

time that he was brought to realizing sense
of the fact that business men have some
rights which he is bound to respect. The
present scarcity of small. bills affects the
entire community. It is very serious M
convenience, and is the more uncomfortable
from the fact that it is easily avoidable. The
business men can and ought to teach Sher-
man lesson.

been pulled over two fences and number

of Ramsey county, and when it was alleged
that he only wanted the Office as sort of
side show to other business, it was vehe-
