dren were residing in Queenstown, in the county outside of Washington, with her sis ter and family. Her brother-in-law, MT.
 Fisher Cboth sisters having married brothers) conducts a truck farm and dairy at the
 place, and has employed several negro farm hands. During the absence in the afternoon of Mr. Fisher and the two Mrs. Fisher, the children, aged respectively seven to ten years.
 were left in the house, the parents coming to this city to attend to their usual market bus iness Late in the afternoon information was received that the children had been murder. ed, and the parents and relations returned to the house to find that the children "a boy and girl-had been cut to such an extent about the head that they probably died almost in- stantly. The girl, who was the elder, was mangled so badly as to be almost beyond recognition. By the side of the children lay an axe covered with blood and hair, showing conc1usively that it was the weapon used to commit the deed. The next step taken was to notify the police, and inquiry revealed that one of the hands, a negro who had been in MT. Fishers employ some time. was missing. The news of the murder spread through the neighborhood with great ra- pidity and soon a crowd was congregaed about the scene Parties were made up and the count. y around was secured, and with the assistance of the police the guilty party will no doubt be arrested soon. Mrs. Fisher has been very unfortunate since the death of her husband, as few months ago one of her children was burned to death in the house. The murder has created con- the K street market, where Mrs. Fisher has g large circle of friends, there was the wild est commotion and butchers and hucksters were anxious to get away from the market in order, as they said, to take part in lynching the scoundrel if he were caught.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Another alarming turn in the Presidents case occurred last evening and caused much anxiety to the physicians and attendants inss ssthe sick room The fsbrile rise was greater than it has been since July 12th, not excepting the relapse of July 23d. The free flow of pus has been in- terrppted internally somewhere, and this has alarmed the physicians. The unnatural rise of temperature, taken in connection with other indications, tended to the impression that another pus cavity was forming, and this time in the region where the ball is inn bedded. Dr. Agnew came on to Washington last night, arriving at 10:15 and both the consulting physicians remained in the city to-day. The disturbance of last evening has caused much anxiety and alarm, and this will not subside until the guarantee of continued progress is better than the accounts of to- day would seem to indicate. The fifth Sun- day of the Presidents illness has not been particularly severe on the patient, although it has been one of anxiety to the physicians. The satisfactory subsistence of yesterdays febrile rise could not blind them to the fact that something was wrong. The slight but gradual increase of fever each night during the week was unmistalabiy an indication of

Church Notes.

An excellent instructive sermon interested the few attendants gathered at the morning service yesterday of the North Church. The Rev. Mir. Moves Gone of the best of our resi- dent ministers1 took his text from 26th verse of the fiftieth psalm: " Whoso ordereth his conversation aright will be shown the saliva tion of God" The word conversation has in this quotation more than it's usual mean ing, and includes conduct as well. No inn possible thing is required to secure salvation. As reasonable beings made in Gods likeness we have power to do right. Willful blind ness and weakness caused by sin alone hin ders our possession of the boon of salvation.
 Other scripture promises came in to help our infrmity. The beauty, happiness and usefulness of a well-ordered life were illus trated clearly, both from the divine teaching and by the daily life of true Christian. The choir sang in excellent voice and spirit. The meeting was cheering and helpful to all pres ent. At the close, notice from the pulpit for the members of the church to remain after the benediction was pronounced, and it was observed that all remained.
 Rev. Dr. Lobaell, of Harlem, preached for his former congregation at St. Paurs church yesterday morning. Rev. MT. Lines re- turns about the 18th.

A Child Burned by Lightning.

A Child Burned by Lightning.
 WnKEsBARBE, Aug. "A most renarka- ble disaster by lightning occurred at Ashley, suburb of this city, yesterday afternoon. There were a few clouds in the sky at the time and no signs of storm, except far off to the west, where few ''thunder heads'' were visible. No rain was falling, and the atmosphere was close and extremely hot. At the time named above Cora Deardon, four years old, was standing near 8 window on the south side of her residence, drinking glass of root beer. The window was raised about ten inches from the sill and the child stood about foot from it. Suddenly loud report was heard and the little girl was sent flying across the room. Her mother, who was in another apartment ran to her aid and raised her from the floor. The long, flowing hair of the child was in flames, which her mother soon extinguished by wrepping her apron about the head of the sufferer physician was subsequently called and it was found that her neck was encircled with 8 huge blis- ter, her face burned in several places and her hands badly injured. The shock to the child's system was terrific. but 1t is thought that no fatal result will follow. The bolt seemed to come from clear sky, as no more thunder was heard until tonight at o'clock

 Mr. Heap, Charge d. Affaires of the United States Legation at Constantinopls, writes to the Department of State, under date of July 16, that the Turkish decree against the i'm: portation of American pork into the Otto- man dominions has passed into oblivion and become virtually dead letter, and that 8 large consignment of American hams which arrived shortly after the date-of the decree was, after passing the custom house inspec- tion and paying the duties, entered for in spection.
 All the papers in the Whitaker case are with General Swaine, Judge Advocate Gen. eral. They are exceedingly voluminous, and owing to his close confinement at the bedside of the President he has been unable as yet to review the findings of the court. The yer dict will not be made public until it has been approved by the President, and General is. Any announcement that may be made is therefore merely surmise.
