A FEARFUL ACCUSATION.
a Father Indicted for Setting Fire to Hi.
Own Home and Burning to Death Hi,
Two Invalid Children.


VISCENNES, IND, Dec. 10.
On the night of February !, 1888, a most
horrible and lamented affair occurred at
Middletown, small village on the border
Of Owen and Greene Counties, thirty-five
miles north of this place. Two children of
Mr.. James Dyer were burned to death, and
the father has been indicted by the Owen
County Grand Jury, and yesterday was
lodged in Jail for the alleged murder. The
particulars of the affair are as follows: On
the night in question Mr.. James Dyer's
house was burIei with everything i'll l.,
including two OF his children. The family
consisted of Mr.. Dyer and four children,
his wife. having died year ago of con-
sumption. The oldest of his children is an
Intelligent, active girl of eleven years. The
next two were still younger. One was a
paralytic, almost helpless and had never
been able to walk. TIE other was afflicted
with epilepsy so severely as to superin-
duce dem tntia bordering on total idlocy.
The youngest was healthy and Intelligent
child. The night the house was burned
Dyer took the youngest child and went to
Middletown to buy some soda. The house
was log cabin, with a board partition
separating the bedroom from the main
room. The children went to bed early,
in the bedroom, and about nine

She rushed out and opened the outside
door, which let in draught and Instantly
filed the bedroom with flame and smoke,

heard them calling to her to come and take
them ont, "Oh, take me out! Pm burning
up. Oh, take me out!" she could do moth
ing for them, and ran screaming to neigh
boris house and alarmed them. number
of people soon gathered, when Dyer made
his appearance, but his actions aroused the
suspicious OF many of those present. The
house was nearly consumed, but in the cor
ner where the bed on which the children
slept had been could be plainly seen their
forms. When the fire had gone out the
bones of the two children were found inter-
laced as if they had in their last agony
clasped each other in their arms and died
in close embrace. 1t was looked upon by
the neighbors as a most singular occur

Training Dogs.

In training household dogs, it should
be remembered that any attempt at
driving dog is wrong. If he obeys at
all it is through fear. not love.
His reason should be appealed to as
to that of a child, and when correction
is necessary it should be mild, vet posi-
| tive, with reproaches for his miscon-
duct. In this way the dog will under
stand his duty and make known his
wants, and though often they forget
themselves, it is generally because of
the inattention of the person present to
notice their outward manifestations. In
training a dog for the performance of
tricks, or any exercise which il is de-
sired shall become a habit, it is neces-
sary to understand his character. This
is as necessaryin the parlor as in the
performing arena. The characters of
dogs vary as much as those of human
beings. Some are extremely sensitive,
while others are stubborn. 1t is not the
professional trainer alone who can sue
coed to a remarkable degree in devel-
oping the capacities of his canine sub
iect. ANY one with the brightness and
sympathy to understand his animal and
appreciate his moods can become a sue
cessful trainer. provided there is super
added that prime and essential quality
of patience. 1t is the patient man alone
who can attain his object in this line
Persistent endeavor, with tact, must
win in every case where an average SUBJ
ject is in hand. The beginning should
be made with the puppy when six
months old. If younger animal is
put in training, he is injured, and his
constitution often permanently int
paired. 1t Injuries a young puppy Co
sit up, as his kidneys are easily affected.
The owner should begin training with
some tidbits in his pocket, and when
the subject makes any advance in the
direction desired he should be re-
warded. In correcting a dog and in
breaking him of bad habits, force ard
often harshness is to be employed, but
in training or educating dog to do
certain things, or to take on special
habits, only Kindness will avail; pun
ishment for failures will not do. The
dogs confidence must be secured and
kept. Any intricate maneuver or I'M
usual trick is incuIcated by putting the
dog through the motions or causing

tarily, but gently. Reward the dog for
what he is made to do and teach him to
understand that certain positions and
movements win special favors. In
breaking a dog of Objectionable tricks
he must be caught and punished in the
very act. A few repetitions will work
wonders in this respect. The dog
which bites and tears furniture is a
precious nuisance, but his stomach oft
en- has more to do with 1t than his dis
position. If dog is troubled with
worms. he experiences d:sagreeable
sensation which constantly prompts
him to gnaw or bite something. In
such case. give the dog twice week
a large bone well stripped of meat, and
he will use his teeth on the bone and
less on valuable articles. If the trouble
is bound up in the nature of the d8g,
'.the rod of correction will drive it far
from him. boston Herald.

Eating Diseased Meat.

TT DECATUR, ALA, Dec. 10.
An old and well. known man named Geo.
Gibson, living near this place, was taken
suddenly and violently i'll yesterday. His
wife stepped across to a neighbours to pro-
cure help, and while there was stricken
down in the same sudden and vielent man
ner as had been her husband short time
before. She was carried home, and
died last night. A colored woman, a near
neighbor to Gibson, was attacked in the
same manner and her life was despaired
of. The neighbors say Gibson owned a hog
which was suffering from cholera, and
Gibson, for fear of losing it, slaughtered the
hog, and every one who ate of the animal
was seized as above.
