How a IOng.Lost Mother Was Found,

For Eve years "Grandma" Hamilton had
| lived at the Home for the Friendloss
and feeble and wanting to die. She was too
good to go TO the p00Iehouse and had no mon
ey to go to the Old Ladies' Home; so the man.
agement gave her room and the fairies Orthe
other good angels brought the old lady com.
| Portable Tooking-ohair and other articles OF
furniture, and there she sat rocking and knit
ting life to its close.
One day a lady, in sealskins and Jewels, rang
the bell and asked! "Is Mrs. Hamilton int"
| No, they said. There was no Mrs. Hamilton
there. The lady could not mean Grandma
Hamilton2 In all the tve years gone nobody
had called forherI But, yes; the richly-dressed
lady would like to see "Grandma," and, while
they went for her, sat and sobbed on the sofa.
When they led the old lady in, the lady in
sealskin and jewels burst into tears, and throw.
Ing her arms around her neck, sobbed out:
Mother, mother, don't you know Louisa2'
"Oh, no" said the old lady, poering with her
blind eyes and shaking her head, "my daugh-
ters Louisa and Lizzie are both dead, and you
cannot be Louisa"
But, indeed, an; and Lizzie is living, too,
and for a year rye been looking for you ev-
erywhere, and now I've found you"-and
while they wept on each others necks, Mrs.
Grant, the superintendent, and Miss Bowman,
the matron withdrew and left them to talk 1t
over.
This was only a short time ago and next
day the lady came In carriage again, and
"Grandma,' having taken the night to sgether
things together" bade good-by to the Home
and went away all wrapped in fur-lined robes,
to wait In ease and happiness till Death comes
to bid her cease her rocking and her knitting.
Andthe explanation Of 1t all is that fifteen
years ago Louisa married aud went to Cali
forniai Lizzie stayed In Ohio, and "Grandma," |
with little competence, came to Chicago, |

Terrible Fate Of Father and Six Children

LOUISVILLE, KY, February 2.
THE COurier-JournGI has the following spe
cial from Spring Lick, KY: Wiley Embrey,
an old and respected farmer in Butler County,
and six Of his children were burned to death
on Friday night, the wife and eldest daughter
escaping without injury. The particulars of
the burning are as follows: On the night re-
ferred to Embrey and his family retired be-
tween seven and eight O'clock and at ten
o'clock the wife and husband were awakened
by the roaring of a fire, which they discovered
was upstairs, and in q room where six Of their
children were sleeping.
Embrey rushed to the stair-door opened IT..
and started upstairs, when he was met by
the flames issuing from above, aud fell
PROSTATE ON the floor His wife and their
oldest daughter who were sleeping in the
same room, realizing the peril of their own
lives, rushed out of doors leaving behind
them the old man and six children to perish
in the house, the roof of which was then'fall
ing in. The old lady and her daughter began
screaming at the top OF their voices, which
soon attracted several OF their neighbors TO
the hOrrlfying scene OF disaster but they ar
rived too late to render any assistance
Language is wholly inadequate to describe
the walls and means of the grief-stricken
mother and daughter, who stood by gazing on
oil that was dear to them on earth perishing in
the angry flames. The fire was not extin-
gulshed until everything was consumed.
Among the debris particles of the bodies of
the father and children we're found but not In
sufficient quantities TO be identified.
Wiley Embrey was farmer, and by dln6 Of
hard work and the strictest economy, managed
10 save up enough to live easy and comforta-
bic for the remainder Of his life. The whole
country Is nearly paralyzed over the horrible
death of Mr.. Embrey and his six children
II is not believed that Mrs. Embpy and her
daughter will survive the shock.
