BURNED TO DEATH.
Two Inmates OF the MARSHALL County Poor
House lose Their Lives.

Two Inmates Of the Marshall county rOoE
House lose Their Lives.
About two o'clock Tuesday morning
John Chambers, an insane inmate oil
the Marshall County Infrmary, set IRE
70 the room occupied by himself and
Wesley Holmes aud Eliza Duncan, two
aged and disabled inmates, and before
the flames could be extinguished the
building had been considerably dam
aged and both Mrs Duncan and Holmes
were burned to death. Chambers ned
from the scene as soon as he had started
the fire, but he was found in the hay
NOW OF the barn and put under arrest,
and after the inquest upon the bodies
OF the victims be was sent TO jail to
await the action of the grand jury.
When questioned about the IRE,
Cham 0ers said he set fire to the bed and
then led from the house to the barn,
after locking the door. He said be
thought IL was wrong TO set the place
on fire. but that he was mad because
they had threatened TO whip him be-
cause he had left the Infirmery the even
ing before to go and see former super
intendent, who lived some distance
away. He added that the thing seem
ed TO look good deal worse, after 1t
was done, than it did before. From all
the circumstances, the aged couple who
lost their lives must have been asleep
when the fire was started, and when
awakened by the flames found the door
locked upon them, and soon were sur
located 70 death.
Chambers crime is most fendlsh
one, but there is a general impression
that he is not mentally responsible Tor
his acts.

THEY FIGHT IN JAPAN.
The Noble Art Is Practiccd and Taught
In That Land.

"The noble art of sclf-dcfcnsc," as
practioed in Japan, has just been lucidly
explained by Q Japanese gentleman in
d lecture delivered in the hall CT tho
Society Of Arts. The science was first
brought from China in the sixteenth
! century, and is now taught in the nu-
mcrors schools all over the country.
At Toxic, says tho Gallignani Mcsscn-
ger, where the chief institution is stu
atcd, thousands Of young mon annually
undergo course Of training, and all
the policemen Of the city arc compelled
to show efficiency in the art before they
arc engaged. Tho science differs from
the British system Ct, solf-dcfcnsc in
that it seeks to obtain victory by in
gcnuity and cxpertness, coupled with
knowledge Of certain anatomical facts,
rather than by nero force.
Some practical experiments with the
interesting science were given by two
Japanese gentlemen, who, despite the
fact that they protested themselves
