Almost a Tragedy.

On last Sunday night after the
churches had dismissed their congre-
cations, Mr.. II. L. Holt, of the gro
Gerry firm of Perkins & Holt, on west
Seventh street, in company with Mr..
H. ii. Hurt went into the grocery to
get a lunch. While they were seated
IN the rear of the building by dim
light, a young man named Golay,
who clerks for the firm, came in and
they began to dodge about as if try
ing to escape, in order TO play joke
on him and make him think they
were burglars. The young man
retired and locked the door
and sent Mr. W. G. Perry post-haste
after the police while he kept watch
to see that the burglars did not es-
cape. Pretty soon Chief F. w. Big
gcrstaff and Policeman w. S. Witty
The former stood at the back

glars % were hiding behind the
counter and were Mortified to find
themselves confronted by Smith &

Camilla Urso.

The announcement that Madame
Urso, one of the worlds greatest
violinists, will visit this city to-mor-
row night, supported by one of the
most talented companies that has ev-
er visited this state, will undoubtedly
create a sensation among the lovers
of artistic music. From the Boston
Journal we clip the following: "The
audience that greeted Madame Urso
was the largest and most fashionable
OF the season, numbering over three
thousand people; even the stage had
to be filled with camp stools and
benches. When the wonderful ma
gician, Camilla Urso, drew her mag
ic bow across her many-voiced VIC
lin, extracting therefrom heavenly
strains of sweetest music, she was
greeted with rapturous applause, and
departed, leaving with us only the
precious memory of those delicious
harmonies,t those wonderful selections
of almost seraphic music, which the
true artist only can produce, but
which every one can admire
and always cherish. With an ar
lists devotion and absorption.
she seemed oblivious to the vast
crowd that listened TO her with rapt
attention and admiration, and dwelt
only in her chosen realm of music. |
The violin in her hands was like |
different instrument, telling of hopes |
and joys, sorrows and distrcsses. |
lierceness or deepest love. To de,
scribe it would be impossible, even
as it would be to initiate. The sweet |
est pieces were doubtless THE Old |
Folks at Home and when the
Swallows Homeward Fly.' both
played in response to enthusiastic
applause"

WRAPPED IN FLAMES.
A School Marrow Escape
From a Horrible Death.

Last Tuesday morning about eight
o'clock an accident occurred at South
Kentucky College which greatly en-
dangered the life of one of the young
lady pupils. Miss Emma TURNKEY, of
Longview, who boards in the College
building, was standing by hot stove
In Prof. Scobey's classroom, when
her skirts came in contact with the
stove and were quicklyignited. The
room was on the second floor and
screaming with pain and fright the
young lady ran to the steps and at
tempted to go down stairs, her cloth
ing wrapped in flames. Several of
her classmates followed her and by
hard work succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames, but not until Miss
Turnley's dress had been almost en-
tirely consumed and torn off in the
efforts to put out the fire. She was
painfully but not seriously burned
about the back, and several other
young ladies were also burned in
their efforts to save her from a fright
full death. None of them, however,
were seriously injured. The affair
created a considerable excitement not
only in the college but about the city.

Arm Broken.

Mr.. Elijah W. Davis, of Crofton.
Democratic candidate for Jailer, had
the misfortune to get his arm broken
last Monday night. He was in the
city during the day and concluded to
stay over during the night to start
out on an electioneering tour the fol-
lowing morning. While going down
a flight of steps with friend he slip
ped and fell and fractured his left
arm near the wrist. The broken
limb was set by one of the city ply
sicians and Mr.. Davis left the fol-
lowing day for his home.

HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST.
Two colored Children Suffooated
in a Cabin on Main Street.

Tuesday morning smoke was seen
coming out of a cabin on the premi-
ses of Rev. j. Il. Barrow, at 1922
South Main Street. Two colored
children were known to be in the
cabin and the colored children who
discovered the smoke coming out
from under the door instead of Civ
ing the alarm at once, ran to the res
ldence of Mr.. VIM. Cowan where the
mother of the children was, to notify
her. The mother, whose name is
Cynda lIenry,at once ran home,a dis
lance of three or four squares aud
rushed into the room. She found the
children in the bed aud the bed III
flames. Selling the larger child she
brought him out dead, while Mrs.
Barrow ran in with bucket of wa
ter and put out the fire before the
youngest ones body was brought out.
The stove in the room was near the
window and II is supposed that the
oldest child in playing set fire TO the
curtain which carried the flames to
the bed clothes. Becoming frighten-
ed he then jumped in the bed where
the baby was and both were suffoca-
ted before help came. The names of
The children were Harry, aged 4 years,
and Allen, aged 7 months. They
were the children of Cynda Henry
and Jim Buckner The local justices
held an inquest over the bodies and
he jury returned a verdict to the eff
ect that the children came to their
ieath by sufiocation caused by smoke
rom a burning bed.
The flames were extinguished be-
ore the cabin was damaged to any
considerable extent. The bodies were I
lot burned at all and they were UNI {
.oubtedly killed by the smoke. If .
he door had been opened when the
moke was first seen issuing from the |
abin, the probability is that one or s
9th of them would have been rescu- J
d from death.
