THE BELMONT ACCIDENT.
Particulars OF the sad AfAir In which Two
Children Lost Their Lives

Anhiuftu hont hhehf Lives.
MARYsvnLE. Feb. 2s.-[Special TO the
Independent 1.-TWO Of the unfortunate
children burned at Belmont on Thursday
last, are dead. The third was living at 10
O'Clock last night, and though more seri-
ously injured than at first supposed, was
gaining ground and some hopes are enter
tained OF her final recovery.
The particulars OF the sad affair as gath
cred from near neighbors are as follows:
Mrs. Callahan was the mother Of three
children-two boys and one girl-the eld
est, boy four years old, the youngest one
year old. Finding II necessary TO have
something for dinner, Mrs Callahan left
the little ones In the house alone.
She had no one 20 leave with
them, and they were too little to take
along with her Is IL was nearly mile 10
Marysville, the place OF general supply.
She had often left them TO 20 on similar
errands, at first asking neighbor TO look
after them. but as they seemed 10 be quiet
and orderly In her absence she came to
feel that they were safe, at least for short
period. After she had left the house on
Thursday morning-as the Oldest boy told
the story before his death-he locked the
door and began to play with kitty-in bis
own words, ITO set kitty afre." The kitty
blazed up, and running under the sofa sci
II on fire. The two boys were fatally
burned. The girl escaped the fire by run
ming under the bed, but almost perished by
suffocatlon.
These are briefly the particulars Of the
Dmost pitiful incident that has ever sad
dened the camps Of Belmont and Marys
vile. The stricken parents are almos
frantic with grief and II Is feared the
mother will lose her reason.
The funeral Of the two deceased childrer
will take place tomorrow, Sunday.

McMINNVILLE PRODUCE MARKET.

OFFICE SOUTHERN STANDARD,

McMinnville, Jan. ~, 1883.
OFFICE SOUTHERN STANDARD,
There is no improvement in the
produce trade. The supply of eggs is
still largely in excess of the demand
and prices low in all the markets.
In'dried fruit there is no improve
ment. The supply of green apples is
still greater than the demand and as
yet we can find no market for our
apples at price that will pay the
expense of shipping and leave any
thing for the producer. Stock peas
are very scarce, not enough probably
to supply the home demand. Good
seed oats are likely to be in demand,
and those who have not threshed
those intended for market would do
well to thresh at once,as the time for
sowing is near. Corn is selling in a
small way for forty cents. Shippers
could not sell hay over thirty-five
cents.

a subterranean "sally-port"-we sup
pose this means hole in the ground,
that's what it is-said to open into Il
cave, to which there is also another
entrance at the foot of the hill. 1t is
surrounded with an iron railing, and
one can look down into it and conjure
up visions Of dungeons and hobgob-
Inns galore. From this roof-garden
one can also look over the battle field
Of the Molino del Rey, where the
American armies met the Mexican
forces in deadly combat. On the hill !,
in the rear OF the palace, stands the
national military academy, the West
Point of Mexico, and the national as
Economical observatory. Had we
seen nothing else on the trip, the two
or three hours spent at Chepultepec
would have amply repaid us for the
entire trip to Mexico. 1t is worth a
journey of two or three thousand
miles tosee what SO nearly approaches
a realization of Aladdin's wonderful
palaces. Such place may be neces-
sary to keep up appearances for lit
tie bankrupt republic like Mexico,
but it is entirely too rich ana magnlf-
cent to be compatible with the aver
age Americans ideas of the sim
plicity which should characterize
