Garner and Benton Anderson had both
been waiting on Miss Amanda Glassburner,
a rural beauty. The young lady showed
her preference for Anderson. This angered
Garner, and on meeting Anderson he pro-
voked quarrel with him. The quarrel re-
suited in fight, in which Anderson was
worsted, but apparently not badly hurt.
He took part in the devotional exercises
which lasted about two hours after the fight,
when he became suddenly i'll, and died in q
few moments. The coroner's Jury returned
a verdict of death from heart disease, caused
by over-excitement, the result of blows re-
ceivs at the hands OF Milton Garner. Gar
ner was placed under bonds to await the
action OF the September term of court.

Fires in England and America.

The United States Consul at Birming
ham, England, Mr.. Wilson King, for.
merry of Pittsburgh, sends very in
teresting dispatch to the State Depart
ment on the subject of fires in Euro
pean and American cities. He says the
amount of property annually destroyed
in civilized Europe is much less than
the amount in the United States, while
the number and cost of organizations
and appliances for fighting the flames
are greater in America. Birmingham,
which contains nearly half million in
habitants, and is one of the largest and
busiest factory towns in the world, has
only one steam fire engine. In 1872 the
entire damage by fire WIS less than $780,
600. Mr.. King says the moisture of the
climate is in some degree responsible for
this immunity from fire, but there are
two other reasons.
One is the nature of the roofing ma
serial in ordinary use. In most parts OF
America, wooden shingles, or compos-
itions chiefly made up of tar, are largely
used. In Birmingham the use of
such material is against the
law, which is strictly en-
forced and | may here say that in Bre
men, where had the honor of once be-
ing consul, law against inhammable
roofing was made in the sixteenth CEN
tury and has been strictly enforced ever
since. am unable to state the proper
ton of American fires resulting from
sparks falling upon tinder-like roofs,
but | think it must be large. In this
place | may express my surprise that
the cheap, picturesque and fire. proof
red tiles, in general use throughout
Europe, have never been largely intro
duced or manufactured in our country.
The second reason is the general custom
of separating houses by thick fire walls,
extending above the roofs. These have
gene rally proved to be most useful in
confning fire to house where it origi-
mates, and the Stress laid upon this and
other precautions against fire by official
building inspect RS i'll recent years has
not been without good results. There
can be no doubt that faults of build
ing cause many fires, and the increased
carefulness of building inspectors may
reduce the number of fires in the future.

was committed about three months ago,
but the facts We're not made known until
yesterday, when the girl confessed every
thing to her brother. Sheriff 0rmsby called
on her at Ketchum's house and found her
suffering from the effects of an ortion,
which had been performed either through

DIR. Tanner, the renowned faster, who
now resides at jamestown, New York,
has just published long array of recent
cases of suspended animation and pre-
mature burial, which is startling, if well
authenticated. One of the cases is that of
a Miss Mosely; a domestic in family in
West Middlesex, Pa, who died sudden
ly. PLY sicians could not diagnose the
case, and her death was pronounced
very mysterious. Her family, previous
TO her death, had moved to Missouri,
and Miss Mcsely was buried. Last week
her friends from Missouri arrived to re
move the remains, and. upon opening
the coffin, heartrending spectacle was
presented. The young lady had been
buried alive, and had turned over on
her side and was lying face downward,
her hands clenched in her hair, and her
distorted features plainly showing the
intensity of her suffering.

The browning of the Car of all the

presumed, heartfelt worship of his peo-

who had been led to believe that the oc-
casion would be signelled by tragedy.
The entire absence Of nihilistic demon
stration, or any evidence of popular dis
favor, may be attributed to measures of
discovery and repression which would
render such demonstrations fool-hardy
in the extreme; but it is more reason
able supposition that the popular vim
