of my wife. While was pastor of the

was brought down with Pneumonia

with little interruption, and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A

But the fire department is not asking for

mends an engine for AnacOstia, all ex-
penses for equipment TO be SSS, ,4o2; an

FORTY ALARMS A MONTH.
There were from June, 1894, to June,
1895, 500 alarms of fire sent In by box and
by message, or 40 per month. The losses
were estimated at $6O2, 1sO; insurance,
$29O,1T5. The cost of the department
for the year was $154, 106.76.
One eloquent commentary on the sta
tionary condition of things I'm the depart
ment is that the chief engineer asks for
new turntable truck to replace one that
has been in use since 1877, or nearly
twenty years.
1t may be interesting to note that while
there are only 100 men to ten engines
there were twenty-eight casualties, three
of which resulted fatally; that Is, that more
than 20 per cent OF the men are in danger
OF loss of life or limb annually, while the
salary is $50 month.

MOB wREAKS VENGEANCE.
Faithls.>s Woman Burned 10 Death
and Her Para mOur Shot.

Faittike~s Woman Burned TO Death
and Her Param mOur Shot.
Lebanon, KY. Dec. 2s.-A mob inflicted
horrible vengeance on a faithless woman
and her paramour last night, when they
burned Mrs. T. J West alive and killed
W. A. Dever, her paramour, at
Mrs. Vests house on Cartwright's Creek
on the Springfield pike, three miles north
OF this city.
The mob is said to have numbered about
seventy-five and it was about 9 O'Clock
when they appeared at Mrs. Vests house.
Mrs. West, Dever and his little daughter
were the only persons in the house, and
when the mob called Dever to come out
Mrs. West and the little girl responded
but Dever remained inside.
Just as Mrs. West res ciied the door several
shots were fired at her ana she ran back
in the house, but the child remained ON the
outside. The mob then fired several shots
in the house, none of which took effect and
after several attempts to get Dever to come
out the mob fired the building.
The intense heat finally forced Dever to
run out, and with pistol in hand he started
to cornfield a few steps from the house
where he took shelter behind corn shock
and WAS shot to death. ass
Mrs. West persisted in the burning house
and this morning her remains were found
in the chimney, where she had Ia ken refuge.
Her legs and the opper portion of the body
were almost entirely burned off.
The little girl gave the alarm this morn
ing. but only meager information can be
gained from her.
w. A. Dever is the mar who shot and killed
T. j. West, husband OF the burned woman,
at Beaver Green. on Cartwrights Creek.
December Z. Devcr had preliminary hear
ing and was released on the ground of self
defense.
The killing is thought to have been
caused by intimacy on the part of Dever and
Vests wife. After Dever was released he
was charged with living with the woman.
1t is said Dever had been warned that he
would be killed il he did not leave. He is
from Knoxville and leaves a wife and sew
eral children. Mrs. West also leaves a large
family.

any, the union will Ia ke in the ma ter is not
known, and it is indeed very doubtful il
any definite plan has been yet made.
1t is evidently the intention OF the union
to move very cautiously in the matter, for
the slightest msstep ut this time would be
detrimental TO the ultimate success OF their
object. The proposition 10 request Public

not pressed, because it could not he shown
wherein he was at all responsible for the
presence OF the printers referred to.
Another meeting of the union will be held
next Sunday and by that time It is expected
that the circumstances pertaining TO the
employment and retention Of the civil

some definite action will be taken.

DIR. KENT ON THE NEW YEAR.

He Speaks of Its Resolves and Their
Purposes.
Retrospect and Prospect was the SUBJ
iect of an interesting discourse by the
Rev. Alexander Kent at the Peoples
Church, G street, between Fourth and
Fifth streets northwest.
Looking backward said Rev. DR.. Kent,
''is sometimes as necessary as looking for
ward, bu the value in either case depends
upon the purpose of our looking. and the
use we make OF its revealings. The
retrospection that ends in regrets and
discouragements over our past mistakes
Is demoralizing and enfeebling, but that
which helps us TO avoid such mistakes in
the future and gives courage to attempt
nobler deeds, is both Wholesome and need
full.
There is something in these closing
days OF the year. he said, (which moves
us very strongly 10 retrospection. We
are nearing the end of another chapter in
our life history, and it Is natural that we
should be inclined 10 review It.
IF the universe is on our side, then
that which is for us is always mightier than
that which is against us. Indeed nothing
can be against us but our own evil desires
and the evil desires of others. and even
these in the long run viii work their own
cure.
$50 1t is we start on 10 the next mile
stone on the journey of life. Let us drop
all superfluous baggage in the shape Of
Idle regrets and futile repentances and be-
setting sins and bracing up for our journey
on an untried way trust in God and keep
a stout heart

The reorgaDiZal lion of the committees OF
the Senate upon which the steering COM
mittees OF both the old parties have been
working for the past three weeks will be
effected today by the passage of a resou
tioD to be introduced by Mr.. Mitchell,
chairman of the Republican committees.
In violation of precedents for a numb Der
OF years past yea and nay vote will be
taken upon the adoption of the resolution.
The Democrats say they intend to show to
the country that the Republicans have
more votes I'm the Senate tban the Demo
Gratis, and therefore are entitled to take
control, but there is a suspicion that the
Democrats hope by this vote to be able
to show that a deal has been made by the
Republicans with the Populsts.
The Republicans meet this argument
with the statement that they have per-
mitted the Populists To remain just where
they were under Democratic administra-
ton of the Senate, and the charge of deal

the Democrats when they assumed control.

subject and review the historical matters
out of which it grew and the cases in which
it has been applied by this government.
SENATE WILL REST.
II is probable that the Senate will in

cesses until the holiday season is over.
The new tariff bill is now before the
Finance Committee and meeting of that
body has been called for Tuesday. While
there will be no undue delay i'll reporting
the bill back to the Senate it is not probable
that the report will be made before the end
OF next week.
The program for the House this week

Committee On Ways aud Means, the House
