Word of u distressing calamity to the
family of Attorney j. II. Brown of
Wakefield, formerly of this city, has
been received here. From MI the reports
obtainable it seems that Mr.. Brown was
in Omaha and for II time yesterday the
children were left alone in the house,
when in some manner tho little boy set
fire to his young sisters clothes and she
was so badly burned that she died this
morning from the injuries received. II
is understood that the little girl is about

The Gustava Male quartet entertained
a fair.sized audience mt the NJ Il. church
Saturday evening and that their music
was appreciated was attestcd by the fact
thnt they received IA vociferous encore
after almost every number rendered.
Both the solo and ensemble numbers were
well received. Although young men,
the members of the quartet give evil
dcnce of thorough education in music and
with more experience before the public
will be second to no company now on
the road. The quartet also sang ut both
morning and evening services mt the M
Il. church yesterday.
DR.. Fletcher NJ. Sisson, the now pre-
siding elder of the Norfolk district of
the NJ. Il church, preached yesterday,
both morning and evening, in the First
church of this city and was greeted by
II full house Mt both services. All who
heard him were highly pleased with his
sermons, and he made many friends in
the city. At the morning service he
gave convincing evidence that he was
n true Methodist preacher by taking
up n collection. Within n few minutes
he raised 500 for the winters supply
of coal and other incidental expenses.
He is n man of much religious power
and will undoubtedly accomplish much
good for the churches of the district.
