Children'S Bedside.

FRANKFORT, Ind, May 11.-Mrs. y.
A. Long and her five-year- old daughter
are dead, and three-year- son is
perhaps fatally burned as tb9 result Of
an oil lamp explosion.
Mrs. Long and her two children were
sleeping at their home when a small oil
lamp exploded. The liquid was hurled
over Mrs. Long, but she frantically
rushed to the other bed to rescue the
children. Instantly she was in flames,
and as she seized the children their
night robes took fire and all three were
ablaze. The mother then attempted to
get out of the house, but was overcome
and fell in an adjoining room.
Passers by discovered the fire and
burst in the doors. They found all three
frightfully burned. They were taken to
a hotel where the mother died at noon
and the daughter at O'Clock. The little
boy is in serious condition from burns
about the head and limbs, but may re-
cover Mrs Long was the wife of
prominent business man.

SPOTTED FEVER" ON
BOARD MINNEAPOLIS
Seven Hundred TarS Ordered Into
Tented Camp.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May lin an
effort to stamp out an epide-'c OF eere-
bro spinal meningitis, or spotted
fever which has broken out among
the new recruits on the receiving ship
Minneapolis, at League Island navy
yard. zoo of 1900 young tars have been
taken from the ship and placed in a
tented camp on shore.
So far there have been three deaths
from the disease and five other sufferers
from it are now in the naval hospital
here in a critical condition. All of the
three men who have died hailed from
Texas, and the League Island officials
say that almost every recruit from that
State is, or has been, i'll of some disease
since arrival here. This is attributed
to the sudden transition from the free
life of the ranch and plain to the cramp-
ed quarters on shipboard.
Rear Admiral Sigsbee, in charge at
League Island. admits that the Mime
apolis has been badly oyercrowded. and
he will strongly advocate the building
of barracks on shore. The physicians
will today disinfect the vessel. They
believe they have the epidemic under
control.

Prospect of Record to Equal That
of Too Years Ago.

Bangor, Me, Nov. 1.-The experience of moose
hunters in the Maine woods thus far this season
has been most encouraging, and the prospect is
bright for a total kill equal to that of 1901
which was the record year for moose 30 hav-
ing been brought to Bangor that season. When
the record of big game began, in 1894, the num-
Der of moose brought to Bangor was only A.
but ever since then the kill has been much
greater, total of 1910 having been brought
down in the last nine years, an average Of 1GS
The moose hunters appear to be nearly quite
numerous ever this season, the fifteen dol
lar license tax having had no effect in keeping
non-resdents away, and most of the moose are
killed by men from out of the State. The sea-
son began October II, and until within the
last few days the weather has not been alto
gether favorable for the sport; but now the con-
ditions are fairly good and every day brings
Improvement Some snow has fallen in the far
north, but remained on the ground only a day
or two A heavy snow may be expected at any
time now, however. and then the moose hunters
will have their chance. Up to date ninety
one moose have been brought to Bangor this
season. which is nearly up to the record Of n II

Bangor thus far this season are far handsomer
than usual the animals averaging larger and car
rying fine coats. Some of the most symmetrical
antlers ever seen in Bangor have arrived within
the last week. brought down by hunters from
NewYOrk and other Eastern cities and left here
for mounting An encouraging circumstance
this year is that there are more young bulls
than have been seen in twenty years before. IL
dicatins that the efforts of the game commits
siOners at protection and propa gatiOn have been
successful. The game wardens say that there
more out of the State hunters than

through The mOOsehUntinS country. In one day
lately twenty canoes were taken across Mud
Pond Carry. all Of them belonging % hunters
from other States Moose have been seen in al
their accustomed hauuts this fall in ones. twos
and herds of a dozen, and they have also APP
pe2red in places even down 10 the seacoast,
where none had been seen in twenty or thirty
years. Little pOayhinS has been reported this
fall although several instances have been re-
ported OF COW moose being found dead. ON the
whole the season has begun well and promises
to equal the record season of lyUl.
