sirPersons PerIsh in a Fire.

At I'M Thursday the residence OF
John H. Hibbard, 1898 East Long
street, Columbus, Ohio was discovered
to be on fire. Mrs. and Mrs. Hibbard,
their SON Allen, aged 5, baby Dorothy,
Miss Fay Hibbard, and Miss Grace
Hibbard Lee, sisters of Barnesvilie,
O., persisted in the smoke, and their
bodies were more or less destroyed by
fire. Mr.. Hubbard is secretary of the
Central Ohio Natural Gas and Fuel
Company, and is connected by marri-
age with the Deshlers, Huntingtons
and others OF the wealthiest families Of
Columbus. Four sons less than fifteen
years Of age, and the colored servant
aged Is, escaped by jumping from sec,
ond story windows. Natural gas was
used, but the fire evidently originated
from some defective arrangement in
the woodwork. Mr.. Lee was the wife
of son of the editor of the Bstnes-
vile Enterprise. She and her oister
were to have returned home Sunday.
Mrs. Harry Le.,is, sister, resides In

A Mother INSTRUMENTAL in Cremating
Her Child.

A gentleman from near Sylvare1a,
Smith county. forty miles west Of vos-
burg, Miss, remote from railroad and
telegraph lines, gives the following ac-,
count of an awful crime: A fewnights
ago the dwelling house OF Andrew
Ellis, O coltred man. living in the War
rem Hill neighborhood, above Sylvare-
ma, was burned. In the fire Ellis boy,
between seven and ten years old, was
burned. There were four children
sleeping in the house, which was set on
fire at the door. When the occupants
awoke they found themselves impris-
oned by mass of FIRE, one side Of the
house being on fire, while the roof was
falling in. The three oldest children
dashed through the sheet OF flames and
made their escape with but slight injury.
The Youngest was seen to make several
starts to follow, but finally gave up and
jumped back in bed and covered him-
self up to be burned alive. The neigh
bors, both white and black, collected
and arrested Jim Gamage, eoiored, who
was suspected. Gamage persisted in
his innocence of the crime for eome
time, but after threat from some of
his custodian$ to put him in an old
house and burn him like he did the boy
he told DR.. Keoven that if he would
not suffer him to be burnt he. would
tell the truth. He confessed that he
set fire to the house and that. Martha
Ellis concocted the plan. Martha Ellis
| is the wife of Andrew Ellis, but some
time ago she left home, going away
with Carnage. When she returned
home few weeks later Ellis would moi
take her into his house any more.
Since then Martha and Jim have been
living at first one place and another
about the neighborhood.r The bouss
was set on fire in order to get Ellis tc
run out 80 he-corld be shot by Gamage
who hid himself near by after applying
the torch. Ellis was4aot at home, bow,
ever, and the little boy was the victim
Martha Ellis was arrested and, witt
jim Gamage, carried'to Raleigh. where
they were placed in the county jail

The Proposed Reforms.

The dalies of Madrid insist that the
desired reforms should not be given to
Cuba. Senior Canovas del Castillo,
president of the Spanish council, says
he is not disposed to undertake the
work of reform during the time of war,
because this would only result in Cuban
Independence at the finish of the war,
and that neither his or any other
ministry can afford to be responsible
for the loss of Cuba to Spain. 1t is
claimed that Gen. Campos now has the
confidence of all three parties in Cuba.
