tance of this bill the clause appointing a

the matter the bill with the amendment
was rejected by vote Of 10 TO s. This

The Advent of Man.

Prof. Quinton's last lecture in the
course is given tonight, as advertised
in our columns elsewhere. This lecture
will treat of the advent of Man. an
exceedingly interesting subject, and
one on which there has been SO much
speculation. The Professor has carried
his audiences with him thus far from
the nebuls up to the carboniferous age.
Now he proposes to finish his work for
the course by introducing man on the
scene. His views on this subject will
be looked for with great intensity. We
hope the Professor will 60 further and
give US few more lectures.

aAD BURNING CASE.
An Old Lady 0l Years Of Age Dies
From Belng Burned.

ssNs"S sssss ssSW.
Mrs. Satah Flaglor, aged 81, mother
OF Albert Flaglor, and residing with
her son at 902 Market street, met with
a sad burning accident yesterday about
noon, which terminated In her death
at - o'clock this morning. /, seems
that Mrs. Naglor occupied room in
the second story, in which there was a
small wood stove with fire in it, and
that while the family we're at dinner,
they were surprised at the appearance
OF Mrs. Flaglor entering the dining
room with her clothes in a sheet Of
flame.
The alarmed family hastily tore up
the carpet and throwing 1t around the
aged lady smother.d out the flames,
but not until Mrs. Flaglor was terribly
burned from her feet up to her side.
DR.. Frantz was speedily called in " ho
administered opiates which made her
insepsible to her suferings. bat In spite
OF all that could be done, she died this
morning at the hosr stated. How Mrs.
Flaglor caught fire remains mystery,
as the stove was found in its usual safe
condition, and nothing in the room was
burnt. She could tell nothing about
herself.
1t is thought that she may probably
have tread upon match which ignited
her clothing. Mrs. Flaglor was a very
hearty robust lady and bid fair to reach
her centennial had it no. been for this
sad accident which ended her life.
Mrs. +. is the mother Of Albeit Flaglor
who was at one time the leading car
riage manufacturefin the city. 1t has
not yet been decided to hold an inquest.

The Coming Contest.

The Washington National Republi-
can of yesterday, in lengthy double
loaded article, makes the announce
ment that the president will approve
of the repeal Of the jurors tsst-oath
law and Of the statute authorizing the
use of troops at elections, but that he
will veto the repeal Of the election su-
pervisors law. The Republican says
its statements are not made with the
Presidents knowledg, or consent, but
"are nevertheless as reliable as they
would be If he were permitted, under
the proprieties or courtesies of public
position, to authorize their publica.
tion." The Washington Star says the
statement is reliable, and calls atten-
tion to the fact that the same thing was
stated by it last Friday.
