Fearful Ocourrencein Kentucky-.A Broth
er Burned to Death in Sight of His Par
alyzed Sister.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 5.-A Courier.
Journal special from Owengsville says: Geo.
Preat, bachelor, aged TO- years, and his sister,
Mrs. Elizabeth Goodpastor, some years older,
have lived together in this county FIVE miles
from the city for several years, the two living
alone. For some time Mrs. Goodpastor has
been paralyzed and unable to get out OF her
bed for months, so she has been ofno help what
ever. On Thursday evening Preat had gotten in
his wood for the night and morning and be-
fore retiring started to throw on q back log
and build up the fire. He lifted the log and In
throwing it on the fire fell with 1t, and being
unable to rise was burned to death. His SIS
ter was lying in the bed, but unable In her
condition of health to 60 to him or render him
any assistance. At last, by an almost super.
human effort, she got out of bed and dragged
her brothers body out of the fire, managed to
get back to bed and there she was compelled
to lie, being completely exhaust
ed and unable to turn over, with
her brothers. dead and burned body lying in
full view of the hearth. Nothing was known
of the affair till yesterday when Mrs. Good
pastors son, who lives about one mile from
his mothers, going there discovered the terri.
bic affair. Mrs. Goodpastor had never closed
her eyes during the whole night, and lying
there facing the body of her dead brother and
unable to move at all or make any noise what
ever, was compelled to see the cats eating the
flesh from the face of her brother. Mrs.
Goodpastor is now lying in very critical
condition, and the chances are that this night
of torture has so shocked her that she can
never recover, or if she does her mind will be
gone.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 6.-The Cleveland rolling
mills, Union Steel Screw company and up
ward of forty other companies, firms and in
divlduals, prominently identified with iron i'll
terests hele, have signed memorial to be
forwarded to Gen. Garfield, setting forth the
late decisions of the secretary of the treasury
affecting seriously, if not utterly destroying 6
the manufacture of hoop iron in the United
States, and another decision now pending as to
the duty on tank or plate iron
of like importance, have aroused great anxi-
ETY. for the future of the iron business. We,
therefore, citizens connected with those in
dustries in several States, alarmed at the rul-
ing of the present secretary, John Sherman,
most respectfully request that in the appoint.
ment of a secretary of the treasury for your
administration, you will select man who
possesses the ability and inclination to carry
out the doctrine of protection to American
manufactures, and who will not oYerrule in his
decisions the spirit and purposes OF the tariff
laws when eyasions of duty are attempted by
ingenious contrivances. The late decisions re-
ferred to are fatal to large class OF American
manufactures and opens the doors to further
destruction of capital invested and labor en-
ployed. No language can fully express the
injury caused by these decisions or the otfense
felt by large numbers of the working class
throughout the country who acted with and
voted for the Republican party at the late
elections in consequence of the constant
declarations of its leaders on the stump IN
favor of protection of American labor.
Without presuming to name any
one in particular for the high
position of secretary OF the treasury, we most
earnestly request that your appointment will
give assurance of speedy redress of the great
wrong done the iron interests of the country
We avoid overstating our anxiety, believing
any true statesman knows peaceful and con-
tented people will be found only where re-
content now growing, we believe, can be best,
