honses.
Educational interests are progressing we'll,
The Sunday-school struggles on and still
''bolds the fort"
The meeting of the prohibition alliance
Tuesday night showed growing interest.
The ladies favored us with excellent vocal
music and new names were added to the
list which is already large. One of the r..
r. hands on the tap road was found dead in
camp few mornings since. We failed to
learn any of the particulars.
We hear whispering Of coming candidates
but nothing definite af yet. OF one thing
they may rest, assured when coming to

the people in the. next Legislature, they
will be called out on the question of Prohi-

good majority here supporting them to stay

Messrs Nanz & Nuener, Louisville Ky.
hove just issued their illustrated catalogue of
Seeds plants and bulbs for the year of 1882.
The publication is one of the largest and
handsomest in the country and has attracted
our attention by reason of the infinite variety
of flowers, seeds, etc., it offers toithe public.
Heretofore this branch of enterprise seems
to have been confined almost entirely to the
north, and it is gratifying to see southern
greenhouses entering the field of competi-
ton. Any person can get copy of the
beautiful book by simply sending three
cent postage stamp to the publishers, Nanz

We are indebted to Rev. H. A. Graves
for copy of his pamphlet just from the
press, entitled Imperialism in the State and
Prelacy in the Church" The title indicates
the drift of the work. The writer though
a methodist preacher, vigorously assails the
episcopal feature of its government. and
argues that Democracy built on virtuous
intelligence" should prevail in the church
as well as the State. From cursory ex-
animation we judge the work is well worth
reading.
Mr.. Graves has sent us several copies on
sale, price scots. Or it can be had at the

all the way from St Louis looking for the
pallid, sallow, sickly looking people I ex-
pected to find according to tradition, and
have failed to find them any where, in fact
the men here look as hale and hearty md
women as fresh and fair as in Iowa or Mimi,
the only sickly people have seen are those
from the North coming here in search of

this A.-The accused, for want of bail,
were committed for hearing and were
discharged after . hearing.
This closed Alderman DOnnelly's ex-
animation, and the auditors took occasion
to compliment him on the fact that he had
less duplicated cases and that his bills and
docket were more correct than those of
any other alderman whose accounts had
been examined.
Aldermen Spurrisr Sick In Bed.
This morning the auditors met in tie
orphans courtroom at Q o'clock, to ex-
anime Alderman Spurrier relative to his
bills for dismissed cases. The alderman
failed to appear, and after waiting until
after 10 o'clock an attachment was issued
and placed in the hands of the sheriff, who
sent Deputy Sheriff Strine for the delin-
quent alderman.
The sheriff returned at 1890 and said he
found Alderman Spurrier in bed he was
evidently very much under the weather,
and informed the deputy he would send
his physicians certificate to that effect IS
soon as it could be obtained.

YESTERDAYS FIRE.

Burning Of DR.. Kings Stable-LOss $500.
As stated in yesterdays INTELLIeENCER
DR.. Geo. A. Kings brick stable, on Mif-
fin street, between Duke and Lime streets
was burning when We went to press.
The firemen soon got the flames under
control and saved adjacent property,
though the interior Of the stable was
pretty we'll burned out.
Three carriages, three sleighs and three
horses, together with feed boxes, harness,
of harness nearly new, a $25 feed cutter,
some straw and all the appurtenauccs of a
we'll arranged stable were destroyed. The
property was insured in the insurance
company of North American for 81, 500
Of which $500 was On tho burnt building,
$50 on the harness, hay and grain, ard the
balance on the horses and carriages.
The total loss may reach $500, as the sta
bic will probably have to be en- irely re-
built.
There is no doubt the stable was pur-
posely set on fire. The match was pro-
badly applied to the hay in the upper part
of the building, which could be reached
from the roof of a low shed adjoining, and
there are several holes in the wall through
which the hay may have been fired.
The alarm was struck from box u at
Duke and East King streets, and the fire
department responded promptly, Mr.. NJ.
F. Steigerwalt was among the first on the
ground, and he quickly broke open door
which was locked. Every effort was then
made to extinguish it, but was unsuccess-
full until all the steamers had played on
the flames for some time.

A HORRIBLE DEATH,

a Woman Commits Suicide by Burning Her
self Up at Mount Carmel.
John Richards, miner, living on the
out skirts of Mt. Carmel with his wife and
several children, drew his months pay
at the colliery few days ago and i'm
mediately went ON spree. He remained
away from his family, who were in poor
circumstances, until Thursday night, when
he visited the house, packed his trunk and
departed. Mrs. Richards became frantic
over the action of her husband and Fri
day morning. arose at an early hour and
without saying anything to her family,
who were still in bed, saturated her CLOTH
ing with coal oil and proceeded to an un-
frequented part of the neighborhood and
deliberately set fire to her clothing. In an
instant her body was enveloped in flames
and the unfortunate woman was soon
burned to a crisp. 1t is believed that
jealousy was the cause of the troubles
The terrible affair has created considerable
excitement.

MALONE has come to grief in his at
tempt to hand Virginia over to the ad-
ministration. In endeavoring to swal.
low the Republican party with his Read.
juster crew and to carry the Democrats
who trained in his band over to the Re-
publican organization he has been
worsted. The gerrymander proposed to
cut Virginia into ten congressional dis
tricts, Of which the Readjuster-Arthur
party could depend upon carrying eight,
was lost in the Senate, by the refusal of
some Readjusters, subject to the influ-
ence Of Massey, with whom Malone has
quarrelled, to support it. There is now
likelihood of an anti-Mahone combina-
tion in Virginia, which will destroy him
and his hopes of making the Old Domin.
ion the pivotal state Of 1854.
