Perhaps Fatally Burned.

Mrs. Mildred Murphy, the young
wife of Rome Murphy, coal miner
at Empire, was perhaps fatally burned
last Monday morning at her home in
Empire.
She was sitting before the fire nurs-
ing a young baby and in some way
her dress caught on fire. Her cleth-
ing was quickly in a. blaze and was
burned off her body from her feet
to her head, her hair also being burn
ed off. The fire ran up her back and
this fact saved the life of the infant.
The frantic mother had presence of
mind enough to throw the child on
the bed as she ran screaming out of
the house, and was given assistance
by the neighbors. At last accounts she
was still alive and her physician, DR..
Williams, has but little hope of her
recovery.
Mrs. Murphy is Sonly II years of
age and was harried year ago.

agree with Sir ]. c. Robinson's hrst
proposal that such frauds should be
destroyed out of all existence.
l believe that a far better purpose
would be served by branding them

them t. ether in a single room, 10
form an edifying forgery exhibition
by themselves, with all particulars
as to the dealers from whom they
were obtained, and the price which
was paid for them. The educational
value of such a collection would be
considerable, and, as an object les

the revision of the museum labels
should be proceeded with, and tho

Judge Pryor,s Defeat.

Frankfort, Ky, Nov. 10.-The
friends of Chief Justice VIM. S.
Pryor, who are reluctant to consede
his defeat, are forced to do so. The
returns show that with only one coun-
ty still missing in the district Bur
mans majority is $50. The missing
county is expected to swell this to
LIPS.
Judge Pryor's retirement is univer
sally regretted by the bench, the bar
and the people. He has served a
quarter of century, having succeed
ed the famous chief Justice Robert
son by appointment of Gov. Leslie in
September, 1871, and from the first
has shown himself to be worthy
and fit subject for the mantle of that
celebrated and able Judge. He has
four times been returned 70 the
bench.
Judge Pryor will probably go into
the practice of law here before the

MRS. DR.. Anderson suoeumbs TO Typhoid
Fever, Wednesday.

FeVerWsdnesday.
Mrs. Susie Steele Anderson, wife OF
DIR. E. G. Anderson, died at her home
in this city Wednesday morning OF
typhoid fever.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Ander-
son and her husband were both taken
i'll with fever that developed into ty-
phoid fever, and in the case Of Mrs.
Anderson complications arose from a
heart trouble. Her condition grew
worse from day to day and for several
days before her death her life hung
by thread. DR.. Anderson 10 still
quite ill but his condition is not con-
sidsrsd dangerous, though for time
he grew worse from the shock caused
by his wife's death.
Mrs. Anderson was daughter of
the late DR.. M. A. Steele, long prom
inent physician in what 10 now the
GracSy neighborhood. About eight
years ago she was married to Mr..
Lucian Jones, President of the City
Bank. who died two Or three years
later leaving her and two little CHILDREN
his large fortune of more than 5000, 900.
Subsequently her youngest child, a
boy named for his father, died. The
little girl, Louise, is now about six
years old.
Last January Mrs. Jones was mar
ried to DR.. Anderson, a prominent
physician of this city, and after an
extended bridal tour they returned
home and occupied the handsome
home on Seventh street, one of the
finest residence properties in the city.
The funeral services were held at
the Ninth Street Presbyterian church
yesterday morning by the pastor,
Rev. W. L. Nourse. A long process
sion of sorrowing friends followed the
body to the grave.
Mrs. Anderson was lady of many
noble traits. She was a devoted
christian and did many deeds of chart
ty and kindness to those in need. She
possessed great strength of mind
and her educational advantages had
been unusually good and were well
improved. Her untimely death on
the threshold of career Of useful
ness and happiness has brought grief
to many devoted friends.
