A SAD ACCIDENT.
A CHILD AND A YOUNG LADY HORRIBLY
BURNED.
The Former, Little Alfred Meyer, Will Probably
Die-Miss Mary Hook the Other Victim.
How il Occurred.

Shortly after nine o'clock last even
ing A distressing accident took place at
the residence OF Mr.. H. c. Meyer, No.
272s Chapline street, which will, in all
probability. result in the death OF one
OF the victims.
Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer are absent from
the city, in Canton, o.. and Miss Mary
Hook. sister of Mrs. Meyer, was at the
residence looking after the house and
children. About nine o'clock, Miss
Hook was In front of the house, and
little Alfred Meyer, aged 4, was playing
in the dining room. In some manner
the little fellow got hold OF lighted
candle. and while playing with
IL. he set fire to his clothes. His
screams attracted the attention OF Miss
Hook. who at once ran to his aid, and
endeavorcd to cxtinguiSh the fire. This
she did, aided by others who were at
tracted into the house, but in her heroic
attempts to save the child, Miss Hook
was very severely burned.
A crowd was quickly attracted to the
house, and prompt aid was extended,
while messengers were hurriedly sent
for physicians, who did all in their
power TO alleviate the suiferings of the
two victims. 1t was found the child
was horribly burned from his feet to his
breast, and he can scarcely survive the
shock. Miss Hooks injuries are hap
PLY not so severe, but are still serious
and very painful.

DEMURRAGE CHARGES.
Baltimore Flour and Grain Men Threaten
to Make Trouble for the Railroads.

To MAKE tne
BALTIMORE, August 1.-THE commit
tee appointed by President +. c. Head,
Of the Corn and Flour Exchange, to con-
| fer with the general freight agents OF
| the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania.
| Western Maryland and Maryland Cen
| trail Railroads. in reference TO the de-
murrage proposed to be charged on
freight arriving by the various railroad
lines on and after September !, organ
lied at the Corn and Flour Exchange
yesterday afternoon.
To-day the committee heard the vie rs
of flour, hay and grain men.
The railroad companies claim that
they have been driven, through the UNI
warranted delay in unloading cars by
the merchants to whom goods were con-
signed, to establish rate for storage,
and in their joint circular they say that
all flour arriving at Baltimore on any
OF their respective lines, at the various
railroad stations or warehouses, will be
held free Of charge at the owners risk
for four days, Sundays and legal hOli-
days not included.
If the flour is not removed within
four days after arrival II will be stored
al the risk and expense Of the owners.
If stored in the railroed company's
stations or warehouses the charge for
storage will be four cents per barrel
per month, or fractions thereof, and one
cent per barrel for labor. All flour on
hand at stations or warehouses on Sep
TENDER will be considered as having
arrived OH that day. The only article
mentioned in the circulars of the rail
road companies on the subject OF demur-
rage is flour, but 1t IS understood that
the rule will be made To apply as well
to hay, corn, wheat, oats and all similar
products.
II appears to be reasonably certain
that the enforcement OF this order will
lead to war between members OF the
Corn and Flour Exchange. The mer-
chants claim that the railroads, not hay-
ing the proper facilities for taking care |
OF the goods after bringing them here, |
have no right to charge demurrage, and |
merchants will probably refuse to pay
If a charge is made Then II the com
panieS refuse to surrender the goods
upon demand. the person to whom the
articles are consigned will sue out writ
Of replevin TO recover.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
Two Pardons Granted by Governor Flcm-
inc.

ing.
Gov. Fleming has issued pardon FOR
j. l.. StrOpeS. who was convicted OF big
amy by the Circuit Court Of Marion
county. at its November term, 1889, and
sentenced to one and one-half years con-
iincment in the penitentiary. The pc
tition for pardon is supported by the
recommendations of DR.. &. w. Bruce,
physician at the pcnitentiary, and Jas.
A. Haggcrty, prosecuting attorney for
Marion county, who represent that the
prisoner is in very poor health, having
heart disease; that his death may occur
at any time, and that confinement rem
ders il more likely 10 occur. The par
don is also recommended by many good
citizens.
The Governor has also RENTED the
penalty imposed upon John BloSSer, who
was proceeded against as surety FOR
JudSon Sisler, upon Il forfeited recogniz-
ance given i'm miSdemcanOr ease, in the
Circuit Court of Monougalia county;
and against whom, at the February
term, 1890. execution was granted for
the full penalty of said recOgnizance,
and Judgment entered for one hundred
dollars penalty and costs of proceed
ingS. The application for the remission
of the said penalty is supported by the
recommendation OF Hon. j. NJ. IlaganS,
the Judge of said Court, who rendered
said Judgment, and who in a letter
says: THE undersigned Judge d
begS TO recommend a remission OF said
forfeiture, as subsequent events led to
the belief that the said forfeiture was
rather the misunderstanding on the
part of said SiSler, than an intentional
evasion Of the terms of said recOgniz-
ance, which events We're not apparent
at the time Of the rendition Of the iudg-
ment thcreon.N

retired to Jutiapa. their am

miles from here, this morning. Although
war has not yet been declared, fight is

The Uniform BIZ of LadIng.

Chicago, August IA. - Shippers
throughout the United States have
gained a great victory over the railroads
in securing a modification OF the uni
form bill OF lading. The concession
made by the carriers consists in striking
out the words, Not negotiable, against
which the chief complaint was made.
This practically settles the fight over
the uniform bill Of lading. The amend
ment makes it a negotiable paper and
bankers will no longer refuse to advance
money on ii.

SQUIRE ARKLE's COURT.
4 Long-Drawn-out Forty-Dollar Case
What Comes Up To-Day.

Squire Ankles Office, on Fourteenth
street. was crowded all last evening
with listeners to somewhat singular
trial. IL was a case OF Joseph RObrecht,
Of Wheeling. against w. Il. O'Neil, of
SardiS, for non-payment Of contract
price for hauling lumber Mr.. O'Neil,
il seems. is engaged in the lumber bust
ness at Sardis, and last June contracted
TO furnish the lumber for two houses on
Twcnty-ninth street, in this city. The
lumber was shipped to this city by barge
boat. and Mr.. O'Ncil hired Mr.. Ro-
brecht to haul the lumber from the
boat to Twcnty-ninth street. Robrecht
was to be paid so much day, and made
out his bill on the basis OF four days,
which 1t required to do the hauling.
Mr.. O'Nei refused to recognize the
bill. claiming that the work OF hauling
the lumber should not have occupied
over two days. And upon this matter
OF time the case hinges. The amount
involved is forty dollars. Capt. Il. i.
Dovencr represented ONeil, aud Col.
w. w. Arnett looked after the interests
of the plaintiff. Some fourteen wit
nesses were examined and it was nearly
eleven o'clock last evening before the
case was concluded. Squire Ankle re-
served his decision until to-day.
