"The Spinsters' Convention" drew a

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Mrs. Edwin Shaw Burned to Death
Kerosene Exploded While She was
Filling a Wood Stove and She Was
Enveloped in Flames.
A terrible accident occurred at 11:45
a. m. Monday, when Mrs. Katie
Shaw, wife of Edwin Shaw, was turn
ing kerosene into wood stove. The
blaze apparently followed the stream
into the oil can and caused the can
to explode Mr.. Shaw, who was in
the front yard at the time of the ac-
cident, heard the noise and thought
someone had shot his wife. He hur-
ried to the door and met his wife,
who was then enveloped in flames.
He snatched a table cloth to wrap
around her, but the cloth was too thin
to smother the flames and only kindled
the blaze. He then threw a pail OF
water over her, partially extinguish-
ing the flames, and rushed through the
burning room in the house for another
pail of water, which completely eX-
tinguished the fire on the sutferlng
woman. Mrs. Shaw was taken into
a neighbours house and Drs. Allbee,
O'Brien and Ridden were soon at
hand. Her clothing and halr were
burned from her and her flesh was
badly blistered. Drs. O'Connor and
Hill were also called Tuesday, but
the. burns were so deep that medical
zee was of no avail, and she passed
away at five o'clock Tuesday after
noon. She was conscious until about
two hours before her death. Her
body was taken to the home of her
parents on Oak Hill. The funeral
will be held at o'clock this (Thurs-
day, afternoon at the Methodist
church.
An alarm was rung in from box Fl,
and the entire fire department was
called out, but the flames had gained
such Roadway that nothing was saved
except a few pieces of furniture. The
entire set of buildings, consisting of
house, barn and paintshop were des-
troyed, also a hack which was in the
paintshop.
The hack and buildings belonged
to L. T. Lowell, and because of some
misunderstanding were not insured
Mr.. Lovell's loss is estimated at over
$1,000

FIRST MINISTER TO CUBA.
FL. G. sQUIERS LIKELY TO RECEIVE THE
APPOINTMENT
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington, April 26-It is regarded high
ly probable that H. G. Squiers will be the first
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary from the United States TO the Republic of
Cuba. In fact. the appointment of Mr.. Squers
has virtually been decided upon, and unless
something unexpected occurs to change the
Presidents mind. it is thought that the seec
ton will be announced IN few lays. Mr.
Squiers is citizen of New-York, and since
1893 has been secretary of the American Le-
CATION at Peking He took conspicuous part
in the defence of the besieged legationers in the
anti-foreign demonstration at the Chinese 2api-
tai In the summer of 1900 and Is regarded as
one Of the most accomplished and astute diplo-
mats in the service Of the United States. Mr.
Souiers has the support OF Senator's Piatt and
Depew, as we'll OF many well known men

last two weeks the President has had under con-
sideration for the chief diplomatic post at
Havana besides Mr.. Squiers. Herbert w. Bowen.

William l.. Scruggs. of Georgia. ex-Minister to
Venezuela. and H. Clay Evans. of Tennessee,
now Pension Commissioners. Mr.. Bowen is CIV
ing such marked satisfaction at Caracas that 1t
Is not considered advisable to remove him from
that post at present. Mr.. Scruggs has an ex-
ceilent record as diplomat, but Georgia already

seean in the diplomatic service when Eugene

of Pensiats Hence tho choice between the
four names mentioned has fallen on Mr. Squiers
1t is now the intention TO provide for this
country proper representation at Havana by
