TWO CHILDREN BURNED.
\ Distressing Accident at New Cumberland
Yesterday Afternoon.

4 Distressing Accident at New Cumberland
Yesterday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon news reached
the city of a terrible accident at the
home of Mr.. Lloyd Campbell, at New
Cumberland. which will result in the
death of two of Mr.. Campbelrs little
daughters. Mr.. Campbell was in this
city at the time, being a juror in the
United States Court, and the news was
made known to him while he was in
the jury box listening to the evidence
in the case of Z. s. V. Elwood Anderson.
The Youngest daughter of Mr. Camp
bell. Maud, aged about three years. was
trying to get some article from a man
tle-piece over an open fire. when her
dress ignited. Her screams brought
her sister, May, a few years older, to
her aid. and in attempting to put out
the fire Mays clothing was also
caught. and in a moment both children
were enveloped in flames. Their united
screams soon brought help, but not be-
fore both were so badly burned that
their recovery is pronounced impos-
sible.
Mr.. Campbell was at once excused
from further service on the jury. and
went to New Cumberland last evening
on the first rain.

The Most Picturesque and Vehement Utter
ance Yet Heard the Subject.
Washington, d. c., April S.-Senator
Turpie's speech on Cuba was the event
of the day in the Senate to-day and IN
many respects it was the most plctur-
esuue and vehement usterance heard on
that subject. The Senator has an mex
haustible vocabulary and bitterly sa-
tirical style. While arguing for radical
action on Cuba, even TO the extent oil
sending a fleet to Cuban waters, much
of Turpie's speech was given to sar-
casm and ridicule of the course OF Mr.
Sherman and Mr.. Lodge in managing
the Cuban resolutions. The Senator
created much amusement by his por-
travail of Senator Lodge as a warrior
about to fight duel with Minister Du-
puy de LONE, of Spain. Most of the
day was given to the Indian appropria-
ton bill. which was not completed.
Unanimous consent was secured for
taking up the resolution for Senate
inquiry into recent bond issues next
Tuesday.
In the House the bill to adopt the
metric system of weights and measures
was sent back to the committee on coin
age, weights and measures for further
consideration. On the first vote 1t had
a majority of two, but the opposition
was aggressive and after a series OF
votes, it was re-committed, 130 TO SO.
The conference report on the agricul-
tural appropriation bill was adopted.
