The Wife of Rev. j. S. Willis,
Burned to Death,

The town of Milford, Del, was terri
bly, shocked last Saturday morning by
the sad news of the horrible death of Mrs.

Lizzie Willis attended party at the res
idence of DR.. j. S. Prettyman, IN town,

about quarter of 2 mile from her home
by seeing the house on fire. The driver
whipped up the horses to run aud az
irving at the house succeeded in cxtin-
guished the flames and discovered Mrs.
Willis lying on the floor, burnt to crisp
but yet living. Word was sent to town
for doctors and assistance and the driver
with team drove to Magnolia, where
Mr.. Willis was attending his evaporators.
Jumping into another team Mr.. Willis
started home and arrived in time to be
recognized by his wife.
Drs. Pratt, Marshall and Whitley, who
responded to the call, were powerless to
aid the suffering lady, and she expired
at o'clock, having lived about hours
after the accident. A number of towns
people on hearing the news went out to
the house and offered their assistance.
Mrs. Willis had large circle of friends
and acquaintance in Elkton, and the
unfortunate lady was universally loved
and respected by all who knew her Mrs,
Willis was conscious long enough to ex-
plain that the coal-oil lamp exploded and
set fire to her and the room. Mrs. Willis
was about As years of age.

The Tomb of John A. Rawlins.


From The Philadelphia Press.
Out in Congressional Cemetery, on the
banks of the Anacostia River, or the
eastern branch of the Potomac, beneath
a beautifully veined marble monument,
rests the body Of Gen. John A. Rawlins,
the friend and confident of Grant. The
simple inscription is as follows: "Major-
Gen. John A. Rawlins, born Feb. IS,
1884, died Sept. 6. 1869. Chief of Staff
to Gen. U. S. Grant from 1861 to 1869.
At the time of his death Secretary of
War" In another par of Washington
not far from the White House, in the
centre of one of the beautiful triangular
parks, is life-sized statue of Rawlins
in bronze, not on horseback, but stand
ing in an easy attitude in full uniform,
with his left hand resting upon his sword
hilt, his right thrust in The breast of his
coat. Gen. Grant paid the expenses of
the funeral of Rawlins out of his own
pocket, it having been reported that the
Chief of Staff had left his family desti-
tute.
For several weeks the remains of Raw
Inns lay in vault in Congressional
Cemetery, and before they were perma-
nently buried the widow had married
again. Gen. Grant purchased the lot
and paid for 1t himself, and, with his
Cabinet, went to the burial of his former
friend and companion in arms. When
bat 81,
found in perfect state of preservation.
A gentleman who was present states that
the Silent Man gazed long and earnestly
at the face of Rawlins and seemed lost
in thought. With his own hand he
planted shrub over the grave. The
monument was erected by subscription.

At three o'clock the morning of August
Goth the morning of the excursion, the Pilot
Boy steamed very slowly into her dock in
Baltimore hours late from her regular
trip. | was the first man to board her and
had been waiting for her 4 or hours, the
captain informed me that the boat was in
| a disabled condition and must be repaired
before leaving the city. Remember this was
3 or $50 o'clock in the A. NJ. The engineer
started at once for the master machinist
and it was two hours before he reached the
boat. When he made the examination he
informed me and her owners, it would take
three or four hours TO repair the damage,
this would not let the boat leave the city
before 7.30 and probably 8 o'clock A NJ and
would not reach US before ~ o'clock and
Havre de Grace about l p. NJ, too late for
us to make the trip that day with any salts
faction to ourselves or our patrons, so
telegraphed her to not come, hence the dis
appointment to us all. Now word about
advertisement in the Baltimore papers at
g. 80 o'clock, about which there seems to be
so much complaint made by some few peo-
Pile. Capt. Eliason said to us, if it was per-
fectly satisfactory to us and our patrons he
would like us to allow him to 60 to Balti-
more after landing us at Colchester to run

Baltimore people, and the Pilot Boy to take
us home before or after the fire works; this
privilege we were to have in lieu of our boat

thing of and of which we heard so much
about. Some must say something, be it ever

BeGcher's Retirement.

The truth of the story which the Phil
adelphia Times has published, naming it
a "rumor," that Mr.. Beecher is to re-
tired from Plymouth Church after his
red birthday, which will be next Jan
uary, and after he has completed his lee
lures on "Evolutlon," cannot be con-
firmed. The reasons alleged by the
Times for the severing of Mr.. Beecher's
pastoral relations with his church were
that the congregation have for years
"been more or less dissatisfied with what
they call his vagaries;' were deeply
offended by his support Of Cleveland last
autumn, and 'bclieve as he gets older
that he gets queerer." The Times story
also asserted that Mr.. Beecher was al
ways financially behind. To New York
Tribune reporter, who saw him recently,
the Rev. Samuel B. Halliday, Mr.. Beech
er's assistant, said:
81 know nothing of any concerted
movement to supersede Mr.. Beecher. If
anything of the kind were being done
l should certainly know OF 1t. L think
that Mr. Beecher can remain the pastor
of Plymouth Church as long as he de-
sires to. He passed his 72d birthday in
June last. OF course, there was dissat-
isfaction with Mr.. Beecher because of
his political course last autumn, but it
was with methods and not because of
the differences in political opinions be-
tween him and his congregation. AS
understand the members of the congre-
CATION, they recognize the right of every
man to think for himself. The feelings
engendered in the heat of political con-
test have not entirely worn away, but
they have no bearing upon Mr. Beechcr's
relations to Plymouth Church as it's pas
tor. There may be some also who don't
exactly like Mr.. Beecher's views on evo-
luton. In his theological opinions he
has always been like Horace Greeley in
his political opinions-far ahead of his
t;np -

The Changers Disappointment.

The Granger excursion did not start
last Thursday, owing to the failure of
their steamer, the Pilot Boy, to arrive.
The steamer from some cause, became
disabled the evening before, and arrived
in Baltimore at such an hour as to make
it impossible for her to reach Elkton, ex-
cept at such time on the day appointed
for the excursion that the managers con-
cluded it would be useless to 60 at all.
About 500 tickets had been sold, and
extensive preparations made by most of
those going on the trip in the way of
dinner, luncheon, etc. AS this is the
second disappointed set of excursionists
from Cecil county in less than two weeks
caused by this steamer it would be as
we'll for future managers of pleasure
parties to secure some other boat, or,
better still, the owners of the Pilot Boy
would do we'll to secure another and bet
ter steamer, and one not so often accus-
toned to become disabled before they
advertise for another season a boat for
charter for excursion parties.

Then said a speech would now be made

OF the cities RACED by fire,
And of the great reward of those
Who did the Lords desire.
And then the stranger spoke Of those
Who disobeyed Gods law,
Said they the end of such as sinnei
In the death of Lots wife saw.
To impress the fact he asked class,
Small eight-year urchms they,
Why God had turned Lots wife to sal,
On that Inflated day.
One little rascal made response,
With grimy hand upheld:
His shrill voice sounded loud and clear
She was too fresh" he yelled.

SinGerly for Mayor of Philadelphia.

j. II. Young'S Long Branch Letter TO the Star.
a bit of gossip with the Philadolphians
here and at Long Branch is about a
movement to bring out William NJ. Sim
gerly for Mayor. A number of influential
Republicans are said to be in the scheme,
and such prominent Independents as Col.
onel Mcclure, Messrs. Childs, Drexel
and Warburton. The idea is to nomi-
nate him as an independent and force the
Democrats to take him. The notion is
that Singerly has made such good re-
cord in his fight against discrimination
by the railroads running into Philadel-
pha, that he will command sufficient
support from the working people of
Philadelphia to elect him with ease. The
idea with these people who want Singer
II to make the race is, that once he be-
came the Mayor Of the city he would
quickly solve all the pending problems
abont an additional water supply, more
school houses, the abolition of the
cobbie stone pavements, more bridges,
additional policemen and better gas, ETC.,
