DIED IN PRISON.

In the ARGUS of Wednesday, Oct. 4,
1882, under the heading prisoners SEN
fenced" appeared the following Carl
Bergstrom, an elderly man of respectable
appearance, from up near Hampton. who
stole $27 80 was also sentenced 10 one
years Imprisonment. Those who are in
q position to know, say that there were
extenuating circumstances IN his case,
which ought to have been considered in
passing judgment. It is certain that he
had the sympathy of everybody in the court
room, officials and all, and If petition were
circulated for his pardon it would be
numerously signed. For the sake of his
family, if for no other reason, the ARGUS
hopes that something of this kind viii be
DONE"
This morning, however, dispatch was
received from Jsliet by Sheriff Reticker,
(signed r. W. McClaughry, Warden.) con
veying the unspeakabIy sad news that poor
Bergstrem died in the prison hospital yes
terday morning st 6 % of cancer of the
stomach and was buried in the prison
cemetery. This sad story carries its own
moral

BY NATIONALITY.
AsSIGNMENT.

1t was stated some days ago that Mr.. r.
Champion had made sale of his book store
and business to Messrs. James W. Betty,
Robert Champion and G. j. Champion. and
at that time the information we received to
that effect was substantially correct; in
stead, however, of the sale being wholly
completed, some details renamed to be
settled, in the attempted settlement of
which obstacles interposed which prevented
the parties from closing the transaction as
at first contemplated. The sale having
failed of cousummation Mr.. Champion has
through the advise of friends made gen.
eral assignment of his property ard
effects for the benefit Of his credi-
tors, placing them all on an equal
footing. The whole community will re-
greet that Mr.. Champion has felt himself
impelled to this course and indulge the
hope that his embarrassment win only
prove temporary.

A difficulty occurred yesterday Afternoon
at 81. AlphonsuB hall which caused some
comment, and various distorted versions Of
the affair became current The only fact up.
on which they seemed to agree was that pc
licemap had been called in to enforce Father
Kreusch's authority as priest In charge OF the
church and assist In preserving order at 9
msa,irg OF church society. The facts In
the clss as nearly as they could be learned,
were that dispute had arisen and Father
ErsuSch had called upon Officer Barum 10
interfere, but the officer had found his pres.
epce unnecessary, and retired.
The ladies OF the congregation have mad
society for years which had for its object
raising fluids to psy for masses for the SOUS
OF members who died. An assessment OF le
cents per member was made at each death Of
a member, the sum thus raised being used to
detray the expenses OF the usual masses Tor
the dead, II was customary tohave ten high
masses and several low OIL es said for each
member who died. The society numbered
over 400 women and very few men. One Of
the latter, Mr.. Xavier ReRele, OF the Sixth
ward, was the President. In tue past, the so
ciety has been accustomed 70 pay the OIL
cistiug priest s. for each high mas
aud 81 for each low mass. Recent,
", however, Rev. Father Kreulch announced
that hereafter the fee for high mass would
be $40 and for low mas s.. This was SAID

the Bishop.

declared the motion carried.
Some person present informed Fathe

AGAIN THE OIL CAN
Is Used TO Hurry upa Fire with Posi-.
bly Fatal Results

bly, Fatal Results.
The continued public warnings against the
careless use OF kerosene In building fires
seem to have no effect. Another case where
such an experiment met with the ususl II :
suit occurred In the Sixth ward yesterday.
Mamie Artz, a young girl Of 10 or II, who
lived with Peter schellhouse, on Locust
street, south OF Twenty-,ixth, was building a
fire in the kitchen stove shout seven O'Clock,
and the kiudlipg wood not catching quick.
" enough TO please the girl, she poured
some oil over It. The smouldering FIRE
at once burt out into bright
flame, igaited the streSm Of oil, and was
communicated 10 that in the can. An e1
pIosion followed, and the burning iluid WIS
thrown all over the poor girl, burning all
the EXPOSED portions OF her person painfully,
and settirg fire to her clothing. She dropped
The can and ran screaming from the house
into on alley which adjoins. The fresh
breeSs famed the flames into new fury, and
but for the presence OF lady and two gentle
men the accident would have had an imme'
diately fatal effect. The lady had the pres
ence III mind 10 throw table cover
over the girls head, thus preventing
her inhaling the fire. The two gentlemen
tore other blszing garmentS and smothered
tbe flames. Physicians were at once SUM.
moned, and did all that lay in medical skill
TO relieve hersufsring They could not tell
positively whether her injuries would prove
fatal, though she was so horribly burned that
The chances were sgain.t her recovery.
