in doing so, but not until the entire
person Of the victim had been terribly
burned. DR.. II. N. Burke was hastily
summoned, and he, with the assistance
of several ladies who were called in,
speedily did all that medical science
and skill could suggest to alleviate the
agony Of the sufferer. 0piates were
used, and upon a careful examination
of the injuries sustained by Mrs.
Lewis, it was evident to the physician
that she could not survive them, as
the flesh was in many places burned to
a crisp, and the fact wal announced to
the sufferer as well as to the family.
The lady died at 8 o'clock Monday
morning. Her husband and son were
both considerably burned in trying to
~extingulsh the flames.

The canadian Charlie Ross.


Christian X. Ross, the father of the
lost Charlie, is but little encouraged
by the supposed discovery made at
Aldborough township, Ont. TO a
reporter who called upon him, he said,
with a sigh, that he saw no hope of the
boy found among the Indians being
his son. He had been in cOmmunica-
ton, he said, with persons in that
vicinity for several months, and the
correspondence had tended but little
to encourage him. Any expectations
he had entertained were well nigh
d~issipated by a ietter he had just
received from Peter d. Medium, the
farmer who had first called his atten-
ton to the matter. This letter was in
the form of an answer to one Of his,
inclosing a list Of questions to be asked
the boy for the purpose Of calling up
any remembrance he might have of his
early life, but in reality, as Mr.. Ross
said, it gave no satisfactory answers
and consisted mainly o mere generali-
ties. Nov, you see" said the be-
reayed father, in a wearied manner,
this is the way with them all. They
think there is money TO be made, and
they all asp for it. Then they exagge-
rate everything that tends to establish
an identity and ignore everything that
initiates against their theory" Finally
Mr.. Ross was asked what course he
meant topursue respecting the Canadi
an clew. He said he did not yet know
He would take no decisive step for a
few days. He would not go to Canada
unless he got some more hopeful in
formation. He said the matter was
exciting great attention in the region
where the boy lived, and it was moi
impossible he might be brought Il
Philadelphia for Identification. Az
any rate, he (Mr. Ross would for the
present lust await developments.

The Galveston News say: Governor
Roberts. in his message to the legisla.
ture submits several cogent consid-
erations in favor of a systematic and
effective state regulation of railroad
trade within the limits of the state,
with a view to suppressing arbitrary
aud unjust determinations between
shippers, and to establishing "equali-
~ Of advantages to all places in the
state alike, in charges for transporta-
tiou over railroads, which have come
to be one Of the necessities OF the age
Most of the governors arguments in
this relation, so far as they 20 with
reference to the internal commerce Of
the state, are parallel with the argu-
ments Of Mr.. Reagan, Judge Black
and others in favor of United States
regulation Of interstate railroad traffic.
One of the governors arguments, how
ever, is particularly noticeable for its
bearing on the question Of
state policy touching the seaport in-
terests of Texas. 1t has been con-
tended in certain quarters that rail
roads operating in Texas should be
allowed to charge more, to any ex-
tent. for short hauls than for long
hauls, because they would or could,
with that privilege, furnish cheaper
transportation in some particular
cases than would or could otherwise
be afforded. The governor meets
this argument with the statement that
so far as a long combination discrimi-
mates against produce and business
interested in short haul facilities, it
diverts the trade of the state, with all
the benefits of its profit, from the
ports of the state, which from prox-
unity are the 6atural outlets for it to
the commercial world, aud thus a
railroad system, literally endowed
with the bounty Of Texas, is en-
ployed to build up outside and distant
at the expense of Texas ports
and commercial centers. The posi-
ton of the governor seems well taken
upon a solid basis of both equity and

observer that a great change is taking
place in the sentiments of the people
Of the.sOuth. The bitterness. preju.
dice and hostility to the changes
wrought by the war, which were so
marked a few years age. are disap
pearing. There is now a very notice
able and a rapidly increasing DISPOSE
tiOn to accept the situation as it is.
and on this basis to build a new south
which shall surpass in wealth, glory
and greatness the old south. The
wealth and intelligence Of the south,
and the men who control the politics
aud business Of the south, are in the
democratic party. There are, howev.
er, two elements in that parry. They
are the liberal and progressive ele'
ment and tho bourbon element. 10.
deed, until very lately, the liberal and
progressive element was so greatly in
the minority that its influence was
hardly apprecieble. The indication.
are that before another national polit
zeal campaign opens, this element will
control the political and material af-
fairs Ofthe south.
