Terrible Fate OF a Father and SIX ch,ldren.

LOUISVILLE, KY, February 2.
THE Courier-J0urndJ 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 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 fire. which they discovered
was upstairs, and in a 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, and fell
PROSTATE on the floor. His wife and their
Oldest daughter, who were sleeping i'm 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
ingi The old lady and her daughter began
screaming at the top OF their voices, which
soon attracted several of their neighbors TO
the horrifying scene of disaster, but they ar
rived too late to render any assistance what
ever. ..,..-t IL. s.r
Language is wholly inadequate to describe
the walls and means of the grief-stricken
mother and daughter who stood by gazing on
all that was dear to them on earth perishing in
the angry flames. The fire was not extin-
gufshed until everything was consumed.
Among the debris particles of the bodies of
the father and children were found, but not in
sufficient quantities to be identified.
Wiley Embrey was a farmer, and, by dint OF
hard work and thestrictesr economy, managed
to 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 IF Mr.. Embrey and his six children.
1t is not believed that Mrs. Embrey and her
daughter will survive the shock. ~

Cholera Predicted.


A RECENT Cincinnati telegram says: IAN
interview is published with DIR. Blackburn, of
Kentucky, who is one Of the most experienced
cholera physicians in the country. He saws
the country is pretty sure to suffer from chol-
era the coming season. He says it is now in
Chicago under the name of 'cholerine.' His
theory is that it never failed thst a cholera
epidemic followed upon the heel of an infiu-
enza el i1emic. We have just had that. Men
and horses have suffered from IL. The infiu-
eiIzi epi'te'nics are due to the too great pro-
portion uf ozone in the atmosphere, and the
deficiency of it is the condition for cholera.
Nature is constantly running to extremes,
and the excess of ozone is followed by def
cheney. Il certainly have continued the
.doctor-Governor, been expecting cholera to
make its appearance in this section, and now
that 1t has appeared in Chicago, it is more
than likely that we shall have it. But said
he, there il an infallible preventive for choI-
era" YES -s-ss.

A Man Robbed at the Long Branch


An unknown man went to the Long
Branch dance house last night, and began to
participate in the proceedings in gentle,
manly sort of way. 1t was not long until it
was apparent tina! no YVES possessed of some
money! thing in great request by the fell
lows who loaf about such places and it was
not great while longer until several of these
fellows had made up their minds to
transfer his money to their
pockets. A plan was &C
cordingly concerted by which to accom-
plish the transfer. Two of the girls got the
moneyed man out in the yard, and while
they were talking to him the roughs came
up to attend to their part Of the play. One
OF them seized him by the throat, and held
him up against the fence while second
riaed his pockets, and third man stood
near as reserved force. They got a watch
and whatever money the man had and left
him. The man now yelled srolice,"
but raised nobody. All this was observed
by John Hathaway and Henry Wilson, who
gave si,a description Of the robbers that
the police went to the Long Branch yester-
day morning and came forth with Sam
Resms and John Heath, two very notorious
and suspicious characters, aud committed
them to jail. Later in the day the third
man was caught, who gave his name MS
Canada Jack, who YVES also jailed. The rob
bed maa had not been found mp to las
night, and it is not known how much money
he lost.
