..Thc Gladiator"

Robert Downing, who will appear
at the Central opera house next Mon
day night in his condensed version OF
The Gladiator" is too we'll known
to need any comment at our hands,
but we can say this, that whatever he
attempts to do. he does it we'll. This
has been shown by his strict attention
to detail in every way by the magnifi.
cent ann in which he has placed
the Arena scene on the stage. The
scene shows the great Amphitheatre
at Rome, and is an exact reproduction
of Gerome's famous painting. This
scene alone cost $1,000. The combat
between Mr.. Downing and the athlete
he carries with him to do the fight is
n of the most thrilling scene ever
witnessed on the stage. Remember
the date, secure your tickets, and
don't miss it.

SHOCKING DEATH.
An Aged Lady's Clothing Catch es
Fire and She is Burned to
a Crisr.

A shocking accident occurred in this
city On Tuesday morning about half
past eleven O'Clock, which resulted in
the burning to death of Mrs. Susan
{. Marker, at her home 2Io West
Burke street, by her clothing catch
ing fire from a stove.
An alarm was turned in from the
Second ward and the fire alarm was
sounded, which drew a large crowd
Of people to the streets. Upon arrival
at the scene of the accident smoke was
pouring from the residence, aud those
who entered the building beheld a
horrible sight. On the floor lay the
body of the old lady, her clothing
burned of and her entire body burned
to a crisp. Her face, body and hands
were charred, but life still remained.
She was literally roasted alive. the
flesh falling from her body as she was
being lifted from the floor to a bed.
How the accident happened no one
knows as the old lady was in the room
by herself when her clothing took
fire. Mrs. Marker lived In the house
by herself. and had with her a hired
girl by the name of Florence Gordon.
She il was who discovered Mrs. Mar
ker in her burning condition. She
says she was in the yard at the time
and hearing the old lady's cries for
help she rushed into the house and
found her enveloped in flames from
head to foot. She tore the blazing
shawl from the old lady's shoulders
and crying for help ran for some wa
ter, which she dashed over her, bur
not until the clothing had nearly all
been burned from her.
Mrs. Marker was found lying to
the left of the stove and on the floor
was the poker. and it looked as if she
had been stirring at the fire. 1t is
supposed that a hot coal fell from the
stove and caught her clothing, as a
hole was burned in the oilcloth in
front of the stove. Either this or that
in bending over in front of the stove
her shawl became ignited.
Medical aid was summoned but
nothing could be done to alleviate hei
sufferings and she died a half hour
later.
Mrs. Marker was born in this coun.
ty May 10, 1871, and has lived here
nearly all her life. She was therefore
aged nearly 88 years. She was the
widow of the late Daniel Marker. the
inventor of the Marker rifle, and is the
last of her family. She was the aunt
of Mrs. VIM. Kramer. and has many
nieces and nephews throughout Der
kelley county.
The funeral took place "Wednesday
afternoon from the house, conducted
by Rev. Ferguson. Interment was ir
