OLYMPIA, w. T., Dec. 17.-This morn
ing at Long Prairie, eight miles from here,
q deplorable event occurred. the particu-
lars Of which reached here tonight. Mrs.
Miner has for some time manifested
symptoms Of insanity, and according TO re-
ports she saturated some papers with coal
oil last night and distributed them
around the house. telling n Of her
children, on inquiry. that she was wetsing
them with water. Early this morning she
made a remark that she was about TO
destroy the whole family, aud the husband
fearing she would attempt his life pro-
ceeded TO put her out OF the room. but oil
opening the door discovered the house In
flames. Reaching the front door with one
OF his children he found il locked and the
key removed. Thereupon, he ran 10 the
back door and found it nailed up. Finally
he and his little daughter succeeded in
escaping through o window. but both are
severely burned. The unfortunate woman
with her four children were burned to
death.
