Business Agents would save time
and trouble if they would use printed
stationery. 1t costs very little more
than that they now use, and is much
more convenient. Letters occasionally
come to US without being signed, some
times they contain money, and we are
put to some inconvenience to find out
the sender. Printed stationery saves
all this trouble. We are now prepared
to send you, postpaid,
100 sheets of note paper, padded,
with name and number of your ALI
ance and name of Business Agent or
Secretary nicely printed on it,
100 nice envelopes, printed,
1 lead pencil,
1 pen holder,

THEY DON'T KNOW THE DIFFER
ENCE.

The Grceuville correspondent Of the
Wilmington Messenger writes that Bro.
J. 7 B. Hoover assisted n Of the
Free Will Baptist brethren in revival
in Pitt county recently. He says Bro.
Hoover preached Third partyism in
his sermon and that "one Third party
song was sung instead of a hymn"
We have thought for some time that
many Of our Democratic friends knew
nothing about religion, but when they
mistake real preaching for Populist
doctrine and don't know the difference
between a hymn and a Populist song,
it is time to call a halt. It seems that
the Free VIII Baptists know what real
preaching is, and the denomination to
which the correspondent belongs ought
to appoint a special committee to post
him

BURNED ALIVE.
The Sad Ending Of the Bright Little Daughter
of john Scul'y.

"The good die young" is an old saying.
Its truth in one instance, at least, was
manifested yesterday when little Loretta
Scully, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Soully of Water street, yielded pure lit
tie soul up to the God who gave it.
Little Loretta was but years old, yet
she was remarkably bright little girl.
and one who had promising life before
her Early in the month she commenced
going TO the convent school on the corner
OF Second street and Fourth avenue, and
her little classmates, who know her best
as the cousin of katie Dawson, say that
she was very bright and gentle little
child, and all of them were very fond of
her.
When she came home yesterday for din
ner her mother was cooking the noon meal
on stove which contained dig fire, for
Mrs. Scullv was also cooking tomatoes FOR
canning purposes. The little girl as girls
sometimes do, in imitation OF her mother
began cooking tom atoes herself, and while
her mother was absent from the house
she was lifting the little vessel, in which
she had the tomatoes, on the stove. The
handle OF the vessel being hot she placed
part of the skirt or the little mother Hub
bard dress she WAS wearing between her
hand and the handle. The ising glass was
out of one of the holes in the front part of
the stove, and while lifting on the vessel
the flame caught her dress and she was
soon enveloped In flames. With remarka-
bic GOODNESS and wisdom for one so young
she rolled herself up In !. quilt in order To
smother the fire, but she lid not succeed
in extinguishing the flames and when her
mother arrived the child's entire cloLhiGg
was burned and so WAS the flesh. Dr..
Fordyce was st once summoned and did
everything possible for the child. but
without avail. The little one remained
unconscious till O'Clock when she died.
Her father was at the time giving testi-
mony in the case of the state VS.. c. L.
Irish. who is on trial for the killing OF
Wesley Spidel, he WAS Mortified to hear
the news and he Immediately rush.

Year in the Pen.

The case of the State vs.. c. L. Irish was
begun in the district court yesterday
Irisi, is charged with the murder Of Wes-
les Spidle last March. At that time Irish
was member of the metropolitan force.
hut his duties did not extend as faras
doing patrol work or anything OF that
nature In fact be was kind OF handy
man about headquarters and did the turn
key work. On the fatal night he volun-
teered to accompany Officer Scnlly to the
Frisco "Y'' near Oak street, where the
Santa Fe Railroad company reported the
theft of some coal. After beng there "A
short while, two men were seen and Officer
Sculiy arrested them One of them was
Spidle and the other was man nameti
Mitchell. Officer Scully arrested Spidle
first and turned him over to IRISH. In
minute or two Spidle attempted 10 get
away and Irish fired shot after him and
a moment later Irish's revolver exploded
again and Spiale fell helpless on the rail-
road track. This is in brief the history of
the case.
All day Wednesday the attorneys were
busy empanelling IA jury and In the even
ing the following named gentlemen were
found competent TO serve: ID. V. Donneily
Peter I. Book, William Parker, j. +.
Walton, j. X. Brink. c. C. Hossfeld, j.
w. Wadsworth. G. w. Moore, Jesse
Seuce, A. F. Romig. George Harizeli aud
Peter Coggshall.
The state is represented by County At
torney Boone, while Irish is defended by
Edwin Whits Moore and Mr.. Sankey.
All, or mostly all, the evidence Is now in
and is practically the same as was pub
Iished in the EAGLE at the time OF the
killing, with the exception OF the testi-
mony OF the defendant. He was put Oh
the stand yesterday and hs said that the
shooting of Spid!e was merely an accident;
that ne fell aud the revolver exploded acct
dentally and shot Spidle without any in
tention on bis part.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Boone he
acknowledged that he once served term
in the Indiana peuitentiary for stealing
bees. Mr. Boone also tried to show that
lie served IA sentence for stealing meat OF
some kind.
Mrs. Spidle. very delicate looking
woman and the widow of the victim of
Irlsh's bullet, is an interested spectator OF
the proceedings. The case will be given
to the jury for their iuaI consideration
today.
