still falling slowly, but will probably
be at a standstill before morning. The

made to save the city from overflow, with
strong hopes of success. The Illinois Cen
troll resumed running their trains this after

LONDON, February 2S.-The London cor
respondent of the Manchester Guardian
says: "The meeting of the Liberals at Mr..
Gladstone's residence yesterday produced
an excellent effect on the party. The Con-
servatives are discouraged, and there is no
concealment of their desire that the House
of Lords now abandon It's attitude, and give
assurance that inquiry will not interfere with
the Judicial operation Of the land act. Lord
Cairns, Chairman of the Lords committee,
Is understood TO be using all efforts
in favor Of moderation. The good effect
of the meeting is confirmed from other
sources. An analysis of the division in the
House of Commons last evening on the mo-
tion to postpone the orders of the day,
shows that the government was supported
by all sections Of the party from Messrs.
COWen, Ceilings and Gourley-who had
previously frequently voted with the ex
treme Irish secti0n-to Wings such as Lords
Edward Cavendlsh and Fitzmsurice, Messrs.
Goshen, Grey, Guests and Kingscot, the
Marquis Of Stafford, Sir E lward Watktn,
and Mr.. Walter. Thirteen Home Rulers
also euppoIted the government, including
Messrs. Colthurst, Fay, Gabbett, Mitchell
Henry, Shaw, 0 Connor Power and SmYth.
In the House Of Commons this afternoon,
Sir Henry James, the Attorney General,
moved resolution declaring void the cleo
tion of Michael Davitt, who was returned to
fill the vacancy for Meath caused by the
resignation of A. NJ. Sullivan.
Joseph Cowen, Radical member for New
castle-on-T Tyne, moved an address to the
Queen, praying, in view of the arrest, re-
arrest and subsequent return OF Davitt to
Parliament, that a free pardon be granted to
him.
The Speaker ruled this motion out of Or
DIR.
Sir Henry James pointed out that the gov
ernment would not move for new writ, but
would allow time for Mr.. Eagan to claim the
seat. The resolution of Sir Henry James
was carried by a vote of POS to 20.

LaGrangs Reporter: Just as we start to press

Lagrange Reporter: Just as we start to press
news has reached Us Of the most horrible burn
ing that has ever occurred in the history Of
LaGrange. AS we could get nothing definite
reporter at once repaired to the scene. In the
southern portion Of the city, on s. p Smiths
place and known as the old lanyard there
lived a middle-aged colored woman named
Kitty johnson. In the same house there lived
some other colored people-a partition divid-
ing them. About II O'Clock this morning the
family adjoining Kitty's room smelled some
thing burning. and after examining everything
In their room concluded that it must be in the
adjoining room. They called her and could
get no answer. They tried TO get in, but the
door was buttoned on the inside Looking in
through a window they saw plainly the
form Of Kitty lying on the hearth with her
head and right shoulder in the fire The alarm
was given and the door broken open, but the
poor unfortunate woman was alresdy dead. A
bucket Of water was thrown on her burning
clothes and she was pulled out of the fireplace,
when a more horrible looking sight could not
be imagined. The flesh was burned off her
face until her teeth and tongue could be seen.
Her eyes were burned entirely out; the skin
had peeled OF her right side and breast. She
was disflgured to such an extert about the
head and breast that, should one have found
her accidentally, il would have been difficult to
trace the outlines Of human being stool
was sitting just in front Of the fireplace. ard
il is supposed she was taken with a At, to which
she was subject, when she fell into the fire.
Not sound was heard in her room, and the
scent OF the burning woman was the first
alarm"
