Conference Yesterday afternoon to post
pone further consideration Of the none

A MAN CREMATED.
Patrick HoAne Burned in South
Washington Fire.

IatIlck bOAne bucned In south
Washington Fire.
This morning about 1870 o'clock
fire broke out in a shanty at No. 1011
Sixth street southwest. The place was
owned and occupied by Richard
Hoyne. Before the fire department ar.
rived the flames had extended to a
small house adjoining owned and oc-
cupied by Patrick Hurley. Both
buildings were destroyed. After the
flames were eXtinguished search of
the ruins was made, and, in the ashes of
house No. 1911, in which the fire
originated the remains of Richard
Hoyne were recovered. They were
horribly burned and the odor from the
burning flesh which permeated the
locality was almost unbearable.
Richard lioyne was q widower and
lived all alone in the little cabin in
which he was practically cremated.
His wife died little over a year ago,
and since then he has been despondent,
and at times he would resort to drink
to drown his sorrow and lonesomeness.
He was known TO have been somewhat
under the influence of liquor last night
and 1t is presumed he went home and
in some way knocked over the lamp or
went to sleep with his pipe in his mouth.
An inquest was held over the body by
Coroner Patterson this afternoon at 3
O'Clock

WAS rRAoy's HOME FIREDq
Report THAT tho servant Girl Caused
tho Calamity


A special dispatch from this city to
the New York Star alleges that the
mystery which has surrounded the FIRE
at Secretary Tracy's house on February
last Is about to be cleared up by the
confession of Bridget Sweeney, q do
meslic in the family, to the effect that
she fired the house. Her statement Is
said to be that she poured kerosene all
over the dining room paneling and as
far up the stairs as her stock of oil
would co. that she then lit the parlor
gas, set fire to the coal oil around the
wainscoting and went to church. No
motive whatever is assigned for the
horrible deed, and no possible incentive
except insanity.
= Ever since the fire Bridget Sweeney
has been kept under close surveillance
by the police She was not called at
the inquest, and this fact was consid.
cred very singular, in view Of her own
strange statements as to the origin of
the fire. Her account was that she left
the house at G:l0 on the morning of the
fire to so TO church. She perceived no
sign of fire at that time, and smeled no
smoke. Yet the fire was under full
headway at G:j5--llfteen minutes after
she left the house--and general alarm
was turned in at G:jS.
The fact that she said: MY God,
that's our house" when she heard the
fire bells ring, is cited in support of the
plausibility Of the story, and the evi-
dence of the colored man, Brent, and
the butler, Walsh, as to the rapidity
with which the fire spread, is taken as
correborative evidence of its incendiary
origin,
The star states that General Catlin,
the brother.inlaw of Secretary Tracy,
did not credit the dispatch, and de-
clared his implicit confidence in the
servant, who had been with the family
so many years
The police of Brooklyn also denied
that the woman was or had been under
surveillance by them.
The servant Bridget Sweeney who is
alleged to have confessed to the firing
Of Secretary Tracy's house, returned to
her home in Brooklyn about three
weeks ago Secretary Tracy is out of
the city, having gone to Brooklyn
yesterday, but his private secretary was
iuestioueu III rcSaTu 10 inc matter.
He was unable to give any positive in-
formation on the subject He stated
that the woman had been employed in
the family for nearly fourteen years
and was treated almost like member
of it. If the rumor was true he could
suggest no possible motive except in
sanity and added further that she had
seemed to him to be Of unbalanced
mind.
Mrs. Wilmerding, the only other
member of the Tracy household in the
city, could not be seen.

Rheumatism,

DEING due to the presence Of uric
- acid in the blood, is most efGectually
cured by the use Of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention to this
testimony -
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
gout, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, / saw by an ADVERTISE
ment in Chicago paper that man had
been relieved Of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers SaTsaparilla. / then decided TO
make n trial of this medicine, and took
il regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that il has effected
complete cure. / have since had no re-

Primary Elections.

In q recent speech Mr.. Tillman said that we
ought to elect delegates by primary. TO vote
directly for Governor would be unjust to the
lower counties-or words to that effect. Now,
we would like to ask upon what ground that
assumption is based. AS we'll say it would be
unjust to Pickens, because Abbeville would
cast more votes than that county would.
Perhaps our fellow-countrymen when they
talk about the desire to give citizens OF Beau
fort more power than they themselves have
Individually, that they forget or do not know.
that they are only repeating one of the argu-
ments which has been used to keep Charles
ton in power.
1t is about time for such parrot-like argu
ments to be abandoned for something like
practical common sense.
The giving OF negro counties large votes is
on q par with the old parish system, and no
selfrespecting up-conntry citizen should toll
crate the idea for minute.
II we can vote for county officers and Con
gressmen, we would like to know why we
cannot vote for Governor, except on the prin.
ciple that he Is too sacred person to be
touched by the average citizen. Must We EN-.
ploy an attorney to cast our vote?
