A SPLENDID IDEA.

Our Young Men Moving In h matter OF

This evening there will bs quite a gath
ering of prominent society young men a.

cuss the feasibility OF giving one or more
minstrel performances at the Opera House,
the proceeis CT the entertainment to be
given to the Women's Benevolent Society
for charitable purposes. 1t is to be hoped
the matter will be favorably entertained
and that we may within the few succeeding
weeks be given such a performance as the
varied talent of cur young men in O vocal
and tamborine way leads US to anticipate,
Such performances, given by local talent,
have met with great success in other cities,
and there is q moral certainty that the
Opera House would be crowded to the
doors should the gathering this evening
conclude to don dress coats and burnt cork
and appear on the stage.

IS IT A MURDER
Committed by Burglars to Hids
Their TFaCks2
Or Did Miss Betsy Joy Meet a Horrible
Death Through Accidental
Causes

News of what is either q terrible acci'
dent or a terrible crime reached this city
from the neishbOrhood Of Mt. Pleasant,
early yesterday. About a mile from Mt
Pleasant Mrs. Betsy Joy, a very eccentric
maiden lady cfreputed wealth. has resided
alone for many years. Three n~eighOors
live within q few hundred yards, but they
seldom held communication with the old
lady, who, being about so years OF age
kept close about the premises she occu-
pied.
About half.past twelve o'clock yesterday
morning one of the neighbors..who chaneed
10 be awake, observed clouds ofsmoke and
bright tongues of flames bursting from the
windows of Miss joys residence. be at
once gave the alarm to the neighOoring
farmers and soon q half dozen mel were
burryipg to the scene. The cold was IL
tense, ard owing to the entire absence OF
water, nothing could be done toward stay
ing the progress Of the fire, and in a short
time the building was q mass Of smoking
embers.
During the day a large crowd was at
trscsed TO the scene, and as nothing had
been been seen or heard Of the single &C.
cupant Of the burned building it was sug-
pested that a search OF the ruins be made
in the hope of finding her body. The
ouest was at once commenced, and in a
short time the searchers we're rewarded by
finding the remains Of the old lady burned
to a crisp and almost beyond all semblance
to humanity.
Various theories as to the origin OF the
FIRE and the direct cause Of the death OF the
aged victim are held by the people OF the
vicinity, but of course nothing definite
can vet be stated. Many, however, are
strongly inclined to the opinion tnst
Miss Jones residence was entered BY
thieves during the early portion Of the
night, the occupant murdered and the
premises sacked, after which the torch was
applied in the expectation that all trace OF
the crime would be obliterated BY the
flames.
This theory seems plausible from the
fact that Miss Joy " a popularity supposed
to be quite we'll of in this worlds goods
aud to have considerable money end por-
table property Of value about her premises.
She was universally respected in the
n~eighborhood in which she lived, and her
tragic and terrible death has created great
excitement. Additional details Of this ter
rible affair will be awaited with anxiety.
