ANOTHER step in the right direction
has been taken, and this time it is the
organization of a literary society among
the young men in Lancaster, which is

meetings are held every Friday even
ing, debates, reading of essays or pa

ETC., forming the programme of enter

it is not improbable that during the
winter course of public lectures OF

is self-improvement, and the society is
one we do not think the young men will
be slow to appreciate orthe community

Shocking Fate of n Colorado Miner.

GEORGETOwN, COL, Dec. is.
The discovery was made this morning of
the horrible death of John Z. Emerson, a
miner on Douglass Mountain. Tie sur
roundings of the dead body, when found,
showed that the man had had the lower
portion of his body buried by cave in the
tunnel he was drifting, ard that, after re-
naming hopelessly pinioned for several
hours by the rocks, his legs being horribly
mangled, he had taken a jack-knife from
mis- pocket and cut his throat to end his
misery. Emerson was an old miner in this
section, and universally known. He lett
town on Saturday morning to work alone
in his tunnel. As he did not return as usual
a searching party went to the mine to
look for him. Within fifteen feet of the
entrance to the tunnel Emerson was seen
standing. It was dark in tie tunnel and
the searchers did not notice the man was
dead until they touched him. They then
saw that his throat was cut, and supposing
that a murder had been committed has
tened for the Coroner. This official found
that Emerson came to his death as de-
scribed. The body was covered to the waist
with loose dirt and rocks, which held him
in his upright position. The knife with
which he cut his throat must have been in
his breast pocket. The cave in the tunnel
crushed his legs and pinioned him beyond
hope of escape by his own exertion. How
long he remained in that position before
putting an end to his own sufTerings is not
known, but IL must have been q ter he had
exhausted his energy in trying to make
some one hear him. The knife was still
clutched in his fingers. The number OF ugly
gasheS in his throat show how persistent he
must have been in taking his lie with the
dull knife.

a Father Indicted for Setting Fire to His

Two Invalid Children.

Own Home and Burning to Death His
Two Invalid Children.
VISCESSES, IND, Dec. 10.
On the night of February :, 1888, a most
borrible and lamented affair occurred at
Middletown, a 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 i'll question Mr.. James Dyer'S
house was burEe with everything i'll II,
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 We're still younger. One was
paralytic, almost helpless and had never
been able to walk. The other was afflicted
with epilepsy so severely as to superin-
duce demeutIa bordering on total idiOcy.
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 tho bedroom from the main
room. The children Went to bed early,
in the bedroom, and about nine
O'Clock the eldest was awakened
by the fire i'll the front room.
Sne rushed cut and opened the outside
door, which let in draught and Instantly
filled the bedroom with flame and smoke,
which she says prevented her from return
ing to aid the other children. Although she
heard them calling to her to come and take
them out, "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. A 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 aEyls and died
in close embrace. 1t was looked upon by
the neighbors as a most singular occur
renee, AMI the twelve-year-oId daughter
says that when she went to the outside
door she found it barred on the outside.
Her frantic efforts, however, were success
full in bursting il open and saving herself.
When she rushed out of the flaming build
ing the girl says she saw her father stand
ing at short distance from the fire watch.
