two boy children, Jimmie and Floyd,
aged five and two years respectively, alone.
As soon as the mother was out OF sight
the oldest child commenced playing with
q natural gas fire, lighting small particles
Of paper and strewing them about pro
miscuously over the floor, which soon
caused a conhsgration. The door had
been securely fastened by the mother.
Soon the licking flames and dense smoke
became suffocatiug, and the heartrending
shrieks and cries of the older OF the two
imprisoned children drew attention. The
youngest child had been tenderlv wrapped
and tucked away in cradle. From this
slumber il never awakened. The door OF
the front room was burst open and the
oldest child rescued, but not until he had
received dangerous burns about the face
and hands.
The charred remains of Floyd, the
youngest child, were removed from the
burning ashes of the building in horri-
BILE condition, having been burned to a
crisp. They were removed this afternoon
to an undertaking establishment, where
preparations will be made for interment.
When thu mother of the children look
ed upon the terrible scene her cries en-
listed the sympathy of all bystanders.
a subscription was started this after
noon for the bsreaved parents, and in
thirty minutes $3.50 were subscribed.
There was no insurance on the house.

Quick Divorce Proceedings.

ANDERSON, Feb. Especial. IA di-
vorce proceedings here proves to be the
result of a sensational episode that &C.
Cured at Elwood few nights ago. Mrs.
Heller, wife of Jesse Heller, a prominent
business man at that place, had occasion
TO go to a neighbor few evenings ago to
sit up with a sick child. Before leaving
she told her husband she could not return
until morning
She changed her mind, however, and
instead of staying away all night came
home at 9 o'clock that evening. When
she returned she found q certain woman
with her husband
Mrs. Heller could not restrain herseli
and procuring pistol attempted to shoot
the woman. Her husband interfered and
in doing so knocked her down. She came
to Anderson last evening and filed a com.
plant for divorce, based upon the forego
ing facts. Court had adjourned when she
arrived, but she went to Judge Ellison's
house after supper and he came up town
and convened court, granting her a di
vorce. Mrs. Heller introduced a badly
bruised eye as exhibit ga" to the court.

less than the value of the property. Also that
the terms of payment offered are not Of such
character as would enable the board to hqui-
date the claims standing against said grounds
and provide means for the purchase Of new
location for the state fair and for the erection
of suitable buildings for the holding Of fairs.
Your committee has sndeAvored TO ascertain
from compstent men the value of real estate IN
the city OF Indianapolis in the vicinity OF the
present fair grounds. and would recommend
that the board reject all bids 10 this date
We would further recommend that this
board do now offer for sale the state fair
grounds. consisting Of fifty-six acres. more or
less. for the sum of S30o,0OQ. TIE board re-
serving the right to remove from said grounds
eli buildings except the main exposition
building. Payments for the same to be made
in such sums and at such times as may be
mutually agreed on between the board and
purchasers.
This report was adopted unanimously
by the board.
'You see" said Mr.. Lockhart to a SEN
TINEL reporter in explanation, that the
bid OF $4,000 could not meet the case
because the payments are deferred too
long. The outstanding Indebtedness of
the board, which is covered by mortgages
on the grounds, amounts to some $4,000.
The board could accept no offer that would
not allow il at once to lift this mortgage.
OF course bonds might be satisfactory to
the parties who hold the mortgages in lieu
of money, but We would have to have
enough cash to secure new grounds and
erect the necessary buildings for the next
state fair, which will certainly be held on
the new grounds, if we can possibly dis
pose OF the old grounds at a good price"
President Banks remarked that the
statement as published in the NeiCs OF Tues
day was erroneous and misleading. ut is
certainly the opinion of the members"
be said, that the next fair should be held
on the new grounds, and there is no earthly
reason why it cannot be done if the pres
ent grounds can be sold by April.

VOICES OF HE PRESS.

The Peru Sentinel declares: The time
that the new fees and salaries for county
officers shall go into force seems TO be the
hardest problem for our legislators to
solve. Let the two extremes meet hall
way and compromise. This Is the only
way out of the difficulty"
The Upton Adroc1te states: "The legis-
lature will not reform the unjust printers
fees. Thousands of dollars can be saved
taxpayers if printers fees are regulated
same as all other public works are. Com
potion should operate in printers fees al
well as all other contracts"
The Kokomo Gdzette- Tribune says: eth,
fee and salary bill reported 10 the house
from the proper committe has on It's fac
the appearance of merit. The democrat
pledged the people to enact such a Law
and to do it at once and make 1t operative
and binding without delay"
This from the Honcock Je6ersonjdn:
''THE SENTINEL says pay all Offices fixed
salaries; all fees to be turned into the
public treasury. This is what the people
demand; this is what the democratic
party promised. The demand will be
met; the promise Will be kept"
The Huntington Democrat saws: eff a
law is passed by the present legislature
that will make it possible to have some
thing like an honest listing of property, the
state would soon pay off its debt. As it is
at present. the poor man pays more than
his proportionate share OF taxation. Cor
porations and the very wealthy are not
properly taxed under the present law. Let
there be such a change in the law as
will make all things equal in the matter
of taxation"

VNcENNEs, Feb. Especial. Mrs.
Lille Hampton of Harrodsburg, KY,
young wife and mother, with all the
beauty of a maid OF the Blue Glass
regions, is dying a horrible death in her
nicely furnished cottage in this city. A
gasping wound in her left breast, inflicted
by thirty-eight calibre pistol in her own
hands, will soon end her sufTerings. San
ford Wheelan, her paramour, on account
of whom she committed the deed of self-de-
struction, is languishing in Jail, half-crazed
from grief and delirious with remorss,
while the woman's brother, who came
to rescue her from shame and take her
back TO her helpless children now
orphaned by the disappearance Of their
father who was unable TO Withstand the
blow of his wife's desertion and subse-
duent disgrace, is beside himself with
grief and an uncomfortable desire TO
avenge his sisters wrongs. Since the
10th of December last Sanford Wheelan
and Mrs. Lille Hampton have lived here
as man and wife under the assumed
names Of Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Brown. They
were neighbors for five years in Harrods-
burg where an intimacy of long duration
grew to mad love and six weeks ago both
left their former homes, Wheelan desert
ing a wife and three children and
Mrs. Hampton, whose maiden name is
Lille Terhune, daughter OF wealthy
stockraiser, forsaking a devoted husband
and trio of infants. When the po lice
were approaching the house to arrest
Wheelan this morning, Mrs. Ham pton
seized q revolver and shot herself just
above the heart. Afterwards she fired
shot at Wheelan without effect and
was preparing to fire again, when Chief OF
Police Hahn wrenched the weapon from
her grasp. She then tore open her dress
and displayed the ugly wound, expressing
regret that she had missed Wheelan. as
she loved him so dearly that she wanted
him to die with her. She then tainted
away and her paramour, weeping like q
child, avowing that he wanted to die with
her, was taken to Jail.

Hon. stephen Harding, a Prominent Poll
tician. Very Ill.

tician, Very Ill.
LAwREScEBURG, Feb. ESPECIAL. 1.-The
Hon. Stephen Harding, once a prominent
figure in politics of this state and the ma
ton, is wing at his home in Milan in a
very precarious condition. For many
years he has been troubled with disease
OF the heart, and this, with his advanced
age and complication OF diseases, it is
feared will end fatally in a short time.
Mr.. Harding is now eighty-three years old.
and has been blind for a number OF years,
thus being doubly afflicted.
During the administration OF President
Lincoln he was appointed territorial gov
ernor of Utah, which place he held until
in one Of his messages he called attention
TO the growing evil of polygamy. which so
incensed the people of the territory that it
was found convenient to recall him. After
living in private life awhile he was ap-
pointed federal Judge OF the territory of
Colorado. and here again his sense OF
Justice and honesty worked his fall.
When the question was first agitated as TO
the admission of Colorado into the Union,
a clique of politicians had matters ar
ranged 10 enable them to get all the
Offices of any account, and their
scheme bid fair to succeed, until it was
found that Judge Harding would not
make affidavit that the population of the
territory was sufficient TO entitle it to the
honor of being admitted as a state, and
his refusal to take such action prevented
the territory from becoming a state for
several years, and again incurred for him
the enmity OF the ruling class, but for
several years longer he administered
justice among people, who though dis
liking him, could not fail to give full
credit to his honesty He was a full
fiedged "Free-soiler" in the days when il
cost something to avow such principles,
and mainly through his friendship with
secretary Chase, who held similar views
did he gain his political positions.
After his residence in the West he set
tied down TO lead a life of quiet in the
house he now occupies, but up to the
time his eyesight failed ne wrote cOnsid-
cradle on various subjects and many OF
his poems were gems of pure and original
merit. being published in the leading
periodicals of that time. He now lies al
his home in a semi-consciOus condition
any moment being apt to close his career
He is almost the last of the old school oil
politicians in this section of Indiana, and
was brother of the late DR.. Myron ii
Harding of this place.
