SAD FATE OF SUSAN BRIscoE.
An Aged Invalid CoIored Woman Burned
to Death in Georgetown.

An Aged Invalid Colored Woman Burned
to Death in Georgetown.
"Aunt Susan" a well-kpown invalid col
ored woman, over so years old, whose real
name was Susan Briscoe, living at 1413
Twepty-eighth street, was burned to death
about o'clock yesterday morning.
The old woman lived with her niece and
nephew, and was warming herself by q
wood fire in an upstairs room, just before
breakfast. while the rest of the family were
in the lower part of the house. The family
were soon attracted by cries issuing from the
woman'S room upstairs, and she was found
to be in a mass of flames, the room filed to
the sitting point with dense smoke.
Before she could be rescued her body was
burned to a crisp. An alarm of fire was
turned il. to which engine company No. 6
responded but the fire was extinguished be-
fore its arrival
The woman had been in the habit of play
ing with fire like a child and her life has
been endangered several times before. This
is supposed to have been the way in which
her clothing caught fire yesterday morning.

Anthropological Society Meeting.

AnthrOpOlOgIcaI Society Meeting.
There was largely attended meeting Of
the Archaeological Society last night in the
assembly hall of the Cosmos Club. Three most
interesting papers were read and very much
appreciated. Miss Alice G. Fletcher, who has
spent considerable portion of the past years
among the Indians, took as her subject "In-
dian Music" She was an accomplished
musician before going among the Indians,
and after being in contact with them acquired
a marked knowledge Of their music and
songs. A vivid description Of their songs
was given, seeking to develop the principles
of this nature Of music to bring it in COM
parison to that of civilized music. The sec
ond paper was presented by Mr.. W. Il. Bah

Halstead and the Commercial Gazette.
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
You are mistaken in saying that Halstead was
a war correspondent for the Gazette. He was at
that time editor of the Commercial Don't you
remember the famous letter to Chase where he
called Grant a drunkard and suggested Lincoln
ought to be knocked in the head. 1t was in the
Commercial he stated the charge that Sherman
was crazy. 1t has never been printed how he
came IL over Deacon Richard Smith in the con-
solidation of the Commercial and Gazette. The
agreement was to consolidate and the amount
of stock TO each paper in the new deal was to be
based upon the receipts of each for a given pc
riod- The Commercial was seven-day paper,
the Gazette a six. SO the Commercial had the
advantage of one day each week, and Halstead
got majority of the stock

False Burglary Alarm.

The burglar alarm in Harris & Shaeffer's

Malaria is responsible for half the
deaths of all mankind, according to
DR.. H. NJ. Clark. From his expert
ence in India he learns that malaria is
not confined to rich, low-lying soils,
but is found even in sandy deserts.
The natives of the grain coast of
Western Africa and the Taurus OF
Northern India arc the only races
proof against it. Both modern meli-
cine and sanitation are powerIess in
dealing with it. Suggested prevent.
ives are the flooding of swamp lands
and the planting trees that will re.
tain water and shade the soil-snch as

An electric fiphtinr man is ahOut II

An electric fighting man is about the
latest thing in the electrical line. Ac
cording to recent number oi the Lon.
don Electrician, an inventive geniu:
has offered to furnish to the Spanish
Government for n consideration, his
invention, known as San automaton
soldier, made of forged iron, capable
of firing forty shots q minute at the
enemy" the machine being operated
by electricity. The chief advantage OF
this scheme, however, is the fact that
the place where a soldiers brains are
supposed to be, is filled up with dyna.
mite; SO that if captured, the auto.
maton would be more deadly than
ever, unless treated with the greatest
care. A fight between armies com.
posed of these soldiers would be inter.
esting in the extreme.

An interesting departure in engineer
| ing is the introduction of marine engines
for land service. One Of the great clcc-
trio illuminating companies, it appears,
has adopted them in its work, and con
corning their economy in respect to space
and power it is reported, says the Age of
Steel, that the land engine takes up some
ten times as muc1 room as a marine en-
glnc, and the marine Q!adrupIe expansion
engine has ten times the heating surface
of the land
Further, the new quadrupIcx two
crank expansion engine is twice rs pow
crful as the triple expansion three-cran
engine, occupies also 80 per cent. less
room and carries regularly 21O pounds of
steam.
The land engine carries only 80 or 80
pounds of steam, and gets one horse
power out of from four to ten pounds Of
anthracite coal, while the quadruple ex
pansion marine engine develops one
horse power out Of one and a quarte
pounds OF Welsh c)al-that is. accord
ing to these data, the land engine re
quires from two to four times as much
coal as the marine engine to produce the |
same power.
