A MOTHER AND CHILD ROASTED ALIVE
house belonging to Nathaniel Davies, in
Palmyra township, Pike county, Pa, caught
fire last Wednesday evening while Mr.. Davies
and bis wife were attending prayer meeting.
Mr.. Davies mother, a lady eighty five years
of age, had been left in charge of the prem
ises, and in attempting to save one of the
children from the fire she caught her foot be-
tween two timbers and was unable to extri-
cate herself. She and the infant she attempt
ed to save were literally roasted alive before
assistance could be rendered Nothing of the
remains but few bones were found after the
fire had died out.
Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, of New York,
has volunteered with his daughter to COM
pany Mrs. Chisholm from Washington to
Mississippi, whittier she goes to prosecute the
murderers of her husband and children, and
to act as her counsel and friend while there,
and his offer has been accepted. 1t was a
very considerable risk for this woman to go
back to the scene of the murder and remain
during the trial, alone, but she had resolved
to take it. The presence of Gen. Woodford
will doubtless insure her personal safety, but
the murderers are not likely to be punished.
While Clayton N. Shuster, whose farm is
on Mantua creek, Gloucester county, was
standing in an open doorway at home with
his daughter on Sunday night week, watching
the storm, flash of lightning came SO near
that he was knocked back into the room,
while his daughter was rendered SO uncon-
scious as to require the application of instant
and continued remedies to restore her to con-
seriousness. One of Mr.. s. cows, standing
about hundred yards from the house was
instantly killed.
