miles west OF Marysyille, while fixing
the fire in a wood stove on Sunday, ig-
nited her clothing in some way. She

watch the excrnciating agony Of his wife.
When the daughter returned from
church medical aid was summoned, but
It was too late. z sel5t .tsz5 5s.i.,

A matrimonial bureau started the
business, four months Of correspond

Saturday, when they met for the first
time, Cupid shot an arrow that pierced
the hearts Of the fair maiden and the
brawny youth. 80 Med "a ) j
Alter the matrimonial bureau had
broken the ice, cautious letters were fol.
lowed by an exchange OF photographs.
The next move was u proposition from
Phelan to Miss Aloris to come to Orange,
the understanding being that if she
didn't find the goods as represented all
expenses, both going and coming, were
to be paid by the now happy bridegroom.
according to contract, she arrived nt
Orange on Saturday, but the impatient
lover OF the photograph had anxiously
watched for her for hours before. The
greeting when she came was>said to be
unceremonious and-cosdial, but it is un.
derstood that the bashiul young man did
not greet her as an aAianced husband

her then and there. VA ~

point where the latter pours its flood
into the Mississippi. at Fort Smith, on
the Arkansas, rise Of over thirteen feet
took place in twenty.four hours, and at
last accounts the swell was proceeding
at the same rate. This great rise, added
TO the minor floods pouring out OF all
