son OF Stephen Guy, colored, was ia
tally burned at New Castle, and died
about o'clock last evening. During
the afterl Don, he was at tho home OF
hisgrandiath n, and was playing alone
In the yard. About 3 O'Clock, a colored
man who lives next to his grandfather
started fire In his rubbish heap in his
yard, which he watched until It had
nearly died out, when he went into
the house.
f When John saw that no one was In
the yard with the fire he climbed the
