BURNED TO DEATH.

Tho Terrible Fate Of Mrs. Pauline
Frowiss.
Mrs. Pauline Frowiss died yesterday
afternoon at the Eight-Mile house, on
the Cahuenga road, from severe burns
she received on Monday while preparing
dinner.
She had gone to the Eight-Mile house
on Sunday with her husband and their
seven children, to stay while their resi-
dence on Pico Heights. in this city, was
being cleaned.
The next day, the holiday OF the
family, was eaddened by the accident
which has deprived Frank ]. Frowiss OF
his wife and seven small children of
their mother. Mrs. Frowiss went into
the yard where q cooking stove had
been placed, and it 10 presumed that in
her hurry to have the fire we'll started,
she poured coal oil upon the wood,
Her husband was suddenly startled
by heartrending screams, and, rushing
out, saw his wife running around in the
yard enveloped from head to foot in
flames. He came to her assistance.
rolling her on the ground to extinguish
the flames, and was helped by q neigh.
Dor, who threw water on the poor lady,
DR.. Westlake was sent for, but the
character of the burns was such that no
hope could be entertained. The body.
from the feet to the shoulders, was one
mass of blisters, and death relieved Mrs.
Frowiss of her sufferings after five days
of intense suffering.
The body was brought into town early
this morning by Messrs. Peck, Sharp &
Neitzke, undertakers, and Coroner We'll
don will hold an inquest on the remains
today.

A Serious Strike Situation in the Oscsola

MARQUETTE, Mich, June 11.-All the
companies of the Fifth regiment, Michi-
gan state troops, have been ordered to
hold themselves in readiness for call
for assistance from the sheriff of Hough-
ton county, for service against the
striking trammers of the Osceola mines.
1t is certain that there will be trouble
az soon as the company attempts to
start up the mine again, with q
strong probability that the tram
mers from the Calumet and Hecla and
other mines may come to the aid of the
Osceola strikers. 1t ia the intention OF
the authorities to mass the entire Fifth
regiment on the scene, 60 az to have
from the start q sufficient force on hand
to put down promptly any resistance to
the law. No movement is likely to be
made before Monday or Tuesday, when
the Osceola company will decide whether
to turn the present strike into lockout
or try to work . mine under military
protection.

TH. unexpected death of Colonel

TEE unexpected death Of Colonel
Leonidas Polk, president of the National
Farmers Alliance, will prove q severe
blow to the new party. Colonel Polk
was, by general consent, designated as
the man to head the ticket of the Peo-
ple's party in the coming presidential
campaign. and he was undoubtedly the
most able and interesting parsonage
amongst the distinguished leaders OF the
new party. Colonel Polk was in this
city last year when the Alliance con-
vention was held in this city, and inn
pressed our people very favorably. He
was fluent and eloquent speaker, and
had the rare gift of swaying crowds with
the fire and magnetism of his oratory.

THE ratification demonstration last
night consisted of very diluted pro-
cession, ''extenuated and long drawn
out" and meeting in front of the old
court house, where the magnetic name
of Blaine extinguished Harrison as com.
pletely as if he had been there in person
with his grandfather's hat covering him
from top to toe. 1t was most laughable
transformation of a meeting to ratify
Harrison into an uproarious ovation to
the man from Maine. The wounds in

to heal before the g. o. p. can get down
to harmonious campaign business.

MANY people will ask why it was nee
essary that Whitelaw Reid should have
been requested to produce certificate
ofcharacter from the New York Typo
graphical union before he was placed in
nomination. The answer is that he
fought the union for many years, but
made his peace with it when he found
he was to become candidate. In any
light in which this incident may be
viewed, it betrays weakness in Reid's
character which will not help him out
in his campaign. AS long as it was to
his interest to fight the printers' union
he did so; but when it came to facing
the labor unions of the country as q can
didate for vice. president, he inconti-
nently yielded. This matter will un-
doubtedly be freely discussed during the
canvass.

interview of representative of the San

L. Barnes. The treatment this gentle
man received at the Stockton conven.
ton has ranked in his bosom, and he
has taken stand that will deprive the
Republican party of one Of its most elo-
quent and capable leadere. General
Barnes is justly indignant at the treat
ment he received at the Stockton con-
vention. After he had received
enough votes to elect him as delegate
to the Minneapolis convention, one ol
the bosses deliberately transferred
enough votes from his henchmen to
Senator FELTON, to elect the latter and
defeat the former. Barnes Is after

up the task.
The enthusiasm throughout at the
mention of Blaine was something very
noticeable in comparison with the mem
ton of little Benny. Some of the
speakers in the early part of the even
ing attempted to give Benny toboggan
slide in popularity on James G. Blaine.
They overdid the business and last
nights meeting demonstrated that the
great mass Of Republicans, bar the
oficeholders, are not staunch Harrison
men.
Walter Moore attempted to stem the
tide by shouting out, "There are three
back-number politicians in this world.
They are Bismarck, James G. Blaine
and Walter Moore" This sally caused
q whole lot of laughter, but it did not
evoke any more enthusiasm for Har-
rison.

greater than Harrison, Blaine or Nc.
Kinley, and he thanked Colonel Otis for
coming out in that strain in the Times

speech.
Major sDonnell, the next speaker,
started in to pacify the Blaine crowd by
stating that.h he was the most enthusias.
tic Blaine admirer in the country. The
speaker, after telling the audience that
Harrison was known to every man,
woman and child in America and all the
foreign countries, then roasted the Dem.

Cheers were then called for Cleveland,
and they were given with will. Not
once. but on several occasions. The
magnates, of the ratification meeting,
eeeing how little real enthusiasm there
was for Harrison, cut the meeting short
by calling for three cheers for the ticket.

KANSAS CRY, NO., May 2l.-The
Missouri river is falling, but the Kaw is
still rising. Near Independence, Mo-,
25 900 acres Of farms are under water.
The Missouri Pacific accommodation
became stalled this evening while at
tempting to pass through the flooded
district. The train is now standing in
the midst of the food. A train of fat
cars long enough to reach from dry
ground to the stalled train is being
made up. 1t will be backed up to the
accommodation and hitched on to it,
and will draw the train from the water.
Both the Kaw and the Missouri are
slowly receding tonight.
OMAHA, Neb., May 21.-The river is
still falling, and except the annoyance
by delay to trains. the Inconvenience is
merely nominal. There is no truth in
the reports that the Union Pacific bridge
between Council Bluffs and Omaha is
unsafe. Trains are running over it at
all hours, without the slightest delay.
There is no obstruction of any kind to
traffic, the line being clear from the
river to the Pacific coast.

sons to their death. In all twenty i've
or thirty persons were drowned there.
The country adjacent to Plumb and
Waltersix bayous, the finest quality of

A TERRIFIC CYCLONE.
TExARKANA, Ark, May 2l.--To add to
the food damage, cyclone passed south
of this city, causing devastation and des-
olation. The roadways are blocked by
fallen trees, 30 that it is impossible to

running over the top Of Clayton levees,
and the whole adjacent territory is
flooded. The levees at Newgasony and
Lake Dick are broken, causing consider

SYMPATHY FOR DEACON.

His Conviction Not in Accord With Pub

NICE, May 2l.-Since the trial and
sentence of Deacon he is confined in
prison, none of his friends are permitted
to see him, with the exception of his
physician. The prisoner is in COM
Portable room and is kindly treated by
the officials.
The prisoners brother today conferred
with a distinguished lawyer and others
to take steps to secure a mitigation OF
his sentence. Deacon's conviction is
not in accordance with public sentiment
here.
Austin Deacon found the authorities
willing to support his application for
modification of the term of imprison-
ment.. The perfect said the sentence
under the prison regulations could be
reduced to four and half months; he
would not be treated as an ordinary
prisoner; he would meet with every con-
sideration, will be allowed to wear his
own clothing and supply his own meals.
Friends would have access to him three

U".iOu AZ iAOOACy, A0 Wou1u 10 y nthto
prisoner in name.
Austin Deacon said: "There is no
longer the slightest probability that my
brother will resume his matrial rela-
tions with his wife. Her recent solicl-
tations that he take her back will be un-
needed. He could have her arrested
for adultery, which would involve her
being locked up with common women.
I do not think she will now put in any
defense to the divorce suit. If she re-
fuses to accept the French law, then a
petition will be filed in the American
courts"
Deacop's counsel attributed the deci-
sion of the jury to Deacon's frank ad-
mission how he himself felt after the
death of Abeille. Several members oi
the jury declare they gave the verdict
under the impression that it meant
nominal imprisonment with fine.
