A Sad Accident.

Eliza beth, the beautiful little 3-year-
old daughter of Mrs. Stella Cockrell,
was very badly burned yesterday
evening. The mother of the little
one had stepped from the room into
the front yard leaving the little one at
play when she was almost at once
startled by the childs screams. The
child, it is supposed, reached for some
thing over the open CRATE when its
apron caught fire and 1t ran drought
the back OF the house into the yard
Mr.. Frank Cheuauli, cousin of the
child, was near al hand aud ran to her
as quickly as possible, tore the clothes
from her person. The child is badly
burned about the hands, arms, neck
and side OF the face. II is feared che
inhaled the flames also. Mr. Che
nault was severely burned about the
hands in extingulshing the flames.

A BULLET
End the Life of congressman
Harter.
FIRED THE SHOT HIMSELF.
Found Some Time Afterward Cold
In Death.
FIRED THE SHOT HIMSELF
HE LEFT NO EXPLANATION.

Fostoria, O., Feb. 22.--Ex Con-
gresham Michael d. Harter, of
Philadelphia, shot and killed him
self here last night at the residence
of Mr.. S. Knapp, with whom he
was staying, Mr.. Harter arrived
in Fostoria several days ago to at
tend to some business affairs, being
connected with several enterprises
in this city. He woJ apparently
in the best of spirits, y =, had com
planned to his frie-Ls tat he was
troubled somewhl5 by insomnia,
and yesterday he spoke of severe
pain in his head, Last night, how
ever he attended a sociable and
supper at the Presbyterian Church,
and appeared to enjoy himself.
After his return to the home of
Mr.. Knapp in the evening he said
he did not care to be called in the
morning until quite late, as he de-
sired to make up some of the sleep
he had lost. His wish was respect
ed, and no effort was made to
arouse him until noon to-day. Then
it was discovered that he was dead.
He was lying in bed with fright
full wound in the right temple. His
hands lay upon his breast, and in
them was grasped 3S-caliber re-
volver, from which the bullet had
been fired. Evidently he had held
the weapon with both hands when
he discharged it, for both hands
were covered with powder smoke.
The wound bled but little, and
death must have been instantane-
Gus, for the bed clothing was not
disturbed except where his body
lay.
Mr.. Harter had disrobed as care
fully as if he had not intended TAX
ing his life. His clothing was dis
posed Of in an orderly way. On
the bureau lay his cravat and a let
ter addressed to his wife In Phila-
delphia. There was nothing in the
letter to indicate his purpose to
take his life. There was also a
telegram to Mrs. Harter, dated this
morning; in which Mr.. Harter ask
ed her to see that his life insurance
assessments were paid. That, tax
en- in connection with an incident
that occurred yesterday, indicates
that the suicide had been contem-
plated. Yesterday Col. Fowler, of
the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, together with S. L. Ghaster,
called at the Harter mill to see Col.
Brown, who took out a policy for
100000 in the shape Of a 8 per
cent. gold bond. The scheme deep
ly impressed Mr.. Harter. Mr.. Har-
ter did not take the policy, but he
made this inquiry; "Col. Fowler"
he said, ''if man should take out
a policy to-day and should commit
suicide tonight, would the policy
be paid?"
He was assured that it would,
and then he addressed Mr.. Ghas-
ter, saying: "Mr. Ghaster, do you
think that if a man who had never
harmed a person in the world
should commit suicide he would go
to heaven?" Mr. Ghaster replied
that he thought he would.
The Coroner held an inquest this
afternoon and decided that Mr..
Harter had killed himself while
temporarily insane. There is no
hint of financial or business en-
barrassment as a cause for the sui
eide, it being asserted that all the
enterprises with which Mr.. Harter
was connected are in a ffourishing
condition.

Of The CoEfederacy Now Open
to the Public.
GENERAL JOHNsoNs SPEECH.
Mansion May Be Made the Bat
tie Abbey Of the South.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 22.--The doors
Of the White House of the Centederacy
now the Confederate Museum, were
thrown open to the public at l o'clock
this afternoon. The grand old build
ing at Twelfth and Clay streets all
during the day was the Mecca of
Richmond people and those teInporar-
lily within her gates. 1t has been
thoroughly renovated and painted
and remodelea within so that it is
!, exactly like it was III the exciting days
when the beloved Jefferst.n Davis,
President of the Confederacv, occu-
pied it. The cause was not lost when
he took up his residence there; it was
when he made his departure. The
walls newly painted and adorned with
flags, pictures and relics could tell, if
able to talk, story more pathetic, in
the hopelessness of the lost cause at
the last, that any pen has yet described
The old mansion, but for its architec-
tnal design, looks both from the ex-
, terror and interior, like a recently
erected structure, so well has the re-
building and repainting been done /.
All of the States of the Confederacy
had rooms set apart for them, which
We're presided over by residents here.
Some of these rooms were handsomely
decorated. The one set apart for
Florida was probably the handsomest.
The kentucky room has a picture
by Hundeigh, OF Lexington, KY, of
yes y sohn c. Breckenridge.
4 The address of the occasion was de-
)livered by Gen. Bradley T. johnson,
fotmerly of Baltimore, but for many
years resident of this city,
In concluding his address, Gen.
johnson said:
1T is to commemorate these princi-
plies and this heroic conduct, this
patriotic sacrifice of men and women,
that we propose to erect a memorial
hall of the Confederacy. Our memo
rial will be here in Richmond, the
heart, the grave of the Confederacy,
fand around it hovers the immortal
soul of love, of memory, which, for all
time, will sanctify it to all true men
and women. They will show that ii
is memorial Of no lost cause they
: will never believe tnat we thought we
were right, they will know, that we
were right, Immortality right, and that
the conqueror was wrong, externally
wrong. The great army of the dead
is here, the sentiment of the living is
there, and memories are here, and the
sentiment OF the future will be here,
AS all roads lead to Rome, so in the
ages to come all ties of memory, OF
sentiment, of feeling. will vibrate from
Richmond"
A determined effort is TO be made
to make the JEFF Davis mansion the
: Battle Abbey of the South. II the
money can be raised this will be done,
and Mr. Rouss' offer of 100000 for
that purpose accepted.

How Much DO Dogs Know?

This is rather a difficult question TO
answer. a dog about 3 years old is no
doubt wiser far than child double that
age At a dog is in his zenith, and
can be taught but little more, but by
this time, although he cannot speak, ex.
cept in "a kind of dumb language, he
knows everything that is said about him
that is, if he has been the constant
companion of kind master and mis-
tress. We are too loath to admit that a
dog can understand quite deal that is
spoken, especially if it concerns himself.
l am sure that, like myself, many Of
my readers could send me anecdotes in
proof Of this. The following is sent me
by lady. 1t is worth reading:
my husband had at one time a very
fine collie which seemed TO understand
conversation perfectly On one occasion
he told his housekeeper that he was 60
ing 70 ride next day TO his father 5 place,
80 miles away, and, turning TO his dog,
said, You will stay at home Next
morning the dog was not 90 be seen, and
when his master arrived at his destina-
ton the dog had got there first. and was
peacefully resting under a table. The
strangest thing was that the dog was
taken TO my husbands home by rail.

Ingenuity a la Bordelaise.

chant, whose business success was about
in keeping with the bad quality of his
wares, decided on bold stroke. Every
day he assiduously sought out com
plete list of deaths of the we'll TO do in
the town, and also the date and hour Of
the funeral He then wrote a letter to
the deceased, thanking him for the or.
der he had received, and at thevery
hour that the relatives were assembled
at the house for the funeral his dray
arrived with a quantity of wines and
spirits. The bill was always paid, no
one suspecting that he was being m.1e
the victim Of an ingenious trick AID
quite convinced that the dead relative
had given the order. -Galignani Mes.
