BURNED TO DEATH.
/ Aary AIexander, an Old Colored Woman,
Lies in Intense Agony

Biary AIexander, AN Old Colored Woman,
btes in Intense Agony
About 80 o'clock last evening Mary
Alexander, colored woman so years Of
age, living in the rear of the house
No. sos West Second street, was
burned so badly that death came at 8. 80
o'clock this morning and relieved her
sufferings, which were terrible.
The woman lived with her hus-
band, who is a very tough character, and
only son. THE was troubled with chronic
rheumatism and her only relief seemed
to be to sit before hot stove all day
While in this position last evening she
became sleepy and a light shawl,
which was thrown over her sholders,
fell on the stove, caught fire, and before
she was aware of it her body was en-
veloped in flames
Many rstories are told as to what the
woman did after running from the room.
She was found in an alley,
near by, endeavoring to smother
the flames by rolling about. A
number of neighbors came to her assist
ance and the flames were soon extin-
guished. She was carried to Dilworth's 8
drug store at Second and Jefferson streets
and afterwards removed to her home.
Her husband had fastened all the
doors, and one frail door had to be burst
open to get the woman into the house
Drs. Smith Cooper and Fl. w. Stout soon
arrived and did everything possible to
alleviate the unfortunate woman's suffer
ings. An anodyne was administered. For q
while some hopes were entertained of her
recovery. Her hair was bnrned from her
head and her chest was terribly charred.
Her limbs, arms and neck were also fear
fully burned. Had not her injuries
proved fatal the could not have recovered
from the terrible shock.

IAN OCEAN hERolhEI
She Conquered Mutiny on shipbOard an
Saved Her Husbansa

Sne conquered Muttny on ShipbOard nnu
Saved Her Husband.
On the river Byram, little stream which
divides the States OF Connecticut aud New
York, in the village Of Port Chester, IN o
pretty cottage, resides a little woman of un.
assuming manners, whose deed Of heroism,
says the New York Press will live as long
as stories OF the sea are read and deeds OF
prowess cited for the emulation Of others.
January 8, 1886, little after midnight,
and on the ocean nearing st. Helena, was
the good American ship Frank N. 1hayer,
commanded by Captain Robert X. Clark.
Soon after the midnight watch was changed
the ca tain was reused from a sound sleeu
by hearing his name called In q tone OF
alarm.
Fearing that all was not right with his
ship he hurried up the companion-way in
his niRht-clothes. AS his head appeared
above the companion-way he received q
number OF stabs in the face, neck and head,
but LIE managed to see that his assailants
were two Manila Indians, members of his
crew.
he fell to the floor beneath, where the In
dians followed him and plunged their knives
into his side, leaving him for dead. The
carpenter, the lookout man and mate were
killed. The balance Of the crew were
locked in or terrified, and the captain, his
wife and daughter were left to the mercy of
the lnfuriated Manila Indians.
The captain, faint from the loss Of blood,
was assisted to the cabin by his wife One
OF the lungs Of the oflcer was protruding.
The brave woman, with q nerve as firm as
adamant and with care as guarded as that
OF the skilled physician, forced the vital
parts back and sewed up the frightful
wound. She then bandaged his face and
head and set herself to the task OF making
their position safe by securing the windows
to the cabin, arming herself, and placing
the wounded captain in a position to defend
or assist in the defense Of the cabin.
The precaution was taken Just in time,
for, firing Of the vigil they had kept bout
the captains cabin, they determined to
finish him. But he and the intrepid woman
at his side repelled the mutineers, who had
broken open the cabin window
What words can describe the courage Of
this wife, who stood with firm hand by her
husbands side, ready TO do or die, hearing
meanwhile the tread Of he Indians thirst
ing for his blood.
The skulkihg crew, by the courage Of the
wife and captain, were at last urged to ac-
ton. One of the Indians jumped overheard.
The other sought refuge in the hold, anu
when dislodged 1t was found that he had
set the ship on tire. He jumped overheard
and was lost.
Then came renewed heroism on the part
Of the wife. Tenderly the loved captain
was placed in a boat, and after a long and
tedious sail Of seven hundred miles they
reached the island of st. Helena, having
been nine days adrift in boat insufilciently
provisioned, with man almost cut to
pieces. But the brave woman was the
master spirit Of the shipwrecked, and to-
day she Is pointed out as the brave wife of
the equally brave Captain Robert K Clark.
