A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT = A
Young Woman Burned 10 DeaM.-
The town was startled by the cry OF
"fre" about n o'clock Sunday even
ing. People in portions remote from
the actual scene ran to and fro with
out being able to determine the loca-
tin Of the fire. No blaze could Ge
seen, yet there was evidently strong
cause for the commoton. The Fire
Department was out with their appa-
ratus in an incredibly short space of
time. They plunged along Bread
way; stopped, faced about, as if be-
wildered by the f,1rore The people
issued in masses from the churches
before services were over. Henry r.
Scheller was worshipping in the M. E.
Church, South. He heard his name
spoken on the outside. Thoroughly
alarmed, he rushed to his home to find
his wife, Mrs. Margaret Soheller,
burned to DEATH The house is situa-
tie at the corner Of Maple AMI Church
streets, quiet, secluded portion Of
the town; hence the difficulty Of as
certaining at once the location Mrs.
Scheller was alone, and was practi-
cally dead before any one reached her.
The exact circumstances attending
her death will, therefore, probably
never be known. The meat rational
theory We have heard, and the one
best attested by the conditions sur
rounding her, is that, having put her
babe to rest, she went down stairs to
prepare come buckwheat bread for
breakfast. While doing this it is sup
posed she heard the child cry and
started with the lamp to its relief.
Ascending hastily The steps, she
stumbled and fell, or the lamp show
ed some alarming symptoms and she
threw it from her. AT any rate The
howl was broken and her clothing
saturated with the kerosene. The
latter ignited and blurred her chest
and arms to crisp. During the burn
ing she ran out on the little porch in
front of the house and gave the alarm
to the neighbors. One who saw her
says she was a mass of flame, only
her uplittcd arms being visible. Sew
eral neighbOrs threw pieces Of carpet
around her, but these were quickly
consumed by the determined flames.
Her hair was burned off, her eyes
burned out, and her chest, literally
roasted, presenting CHASTITY spectacle
to her mortified friends. She leaves
an infant six months old, which has
been kindly cared for by sympathis-
ing friends. Her husband is worthy
mechanic ald has the deepest sympa
thies of the public. Mrs. Scheller was
about % years old, and we learn that
twice before she narrowly escaped
burning. She was Hurled Monday
afternoon. Her funeral will be
preached tomorrow morning at the
usual church hour at the NJ. L.
Church, South, by the pastor.

.,.,n.,a yyerthIessness

Mr., Walter Blaine, o son OF Senator
Blaine, residing in the most extreme
Southeastern State Of the Union has
been exploring and making invessiga-
tions In Alaska the most extreme North
western territory Of the Union, and he
has set forth its worthlessness in let
tar published in the New York Tribune.
II Ia vast territory embracing 6So,oo7
souare miles for which our government
paid Russia u, 100000, and the whole
tract Mr.. Blaine says is not werth more
practically than good sized farm in the
Eastern, Middle or Western States. At
the time Of the acquisition the estima-
ted population was less than 10000
souls, about 1000 Of whom were Cau-
casian and Creoles, and ithe remainder
natives Of the Esquimaux breed and
Indians. This meagre population Is
grouped entirely around the seaboard
and large rivers and live almost en-
tirely by fishing and hunting Wild ami
mails for their furs. Although the
country has been for eighty years un'
der the rule of civilized government
NO progress has been made in agricul-
ture and mechanic arts, in fact the
country is not adapted at all to either.
The climate Is so moist that hay eau
mot be cured, nor wheat reaped,
nor potatoes raised. The parts Of
Alaska, however, which are nearest
the Pacific Ocean are mostly covered
with forests Of spruce, fir and yellow
cedar which last is the most durable Of
all woods for ship-building, but as YET
only one little saw-mill has been
