Destructive Fire.

The buildings on the Geo. Drendel
place near Clinton, consisting of dwell
ing house, barn and store-house, were
entirely destroyed by fire last Tuesday
night, with nearly all their contents.
Drendel himself was away in San Fran
cisco at the time. He was notified
promptly that his home was reduced to a
few cinders There is something strange
point strongly to incendiary origin.
There were three buildings involved in
the conhagration. These buildings
were separated by quite a space. But
the flames apparently broke out in all
three structures about the same time,
about 10 o'clock at night. Occupying
the premises that night were Mrs.
Drendel and family, and boy named
Yolo. The latter discovered the fire,
and ran to the corral to liberate the
horses. Besides the buildings, guam
tity of wine, hay, wagons, and farm
implements were destroyed. But little
of the household furniture was saved,
the inmates having all they could do
to save themselves. The property was
heavily insured, the total amounting to
something over $4,000, in companies of
which L. j. Fontenrose is agent.
Mrs. Drendel says that the fire start
ed in the barn. When she awoke the
barn was almost burned down, and the
flames had communicated to the porch
of the dwelling house. The wind was
blowing in the direction that would
carry the burning debris to the other
buildings. She busted herself in get
ting out the children, and noticed that
the fire had started in the store-house
by the time this was accomplished.
The buildings were fully 100 feet apart.
The family has been housed under the
shelter of a tree since the fire. A small
building used as a smoke house for the
cure of hams and bacon was the only
structure that escaped the devouring
flames.

Perished in the Flames.

The following press dispatch from
Merced dated Oct. II, will be read with
mournful interest by many in Amador
county:
Mrs. T. ]. Chichizola, the wife of a
merchant at Indian Gulch, Mariposa
county, was burned to death last night
at her home.
Early in the evening her 6-year-old
daughter, while handling a lighted
candle, set fire to the lace curtains in
bedroom of the residence. In response
to the chiid's cries Mrs. Chichizola ran
into the room, and in attempting to
extinguish the flames her clothing
caught fire. She was horribly burned
and death ended her sufferings this
morning.
The deceased was formerly Miss
Cuneo, and her people are wealthy
Italians of San Francisco. The re-
mains will be shipped there for inter-
ment.
The victim was born in Volcano, this
county. She was related by marriage
to the Paramino family of Jackson, her
brother having married Miss Para
mino. Her father died in San Fran
cisco few years ago, leaving property
valued in the neighborhood of million
dollars. The deceased since her mar
riage has visited here several times,
and had large circle of friends, who
will be greatly shocked to hear of her
sad and untimely end. The Chichi-
zolas of this county are cousins of the
deceased.

Insane Examinations.

Peter Wall, a resident of Sutter
Creek, was examined for insanity before
the superior court on Tuesday by Drs.
Endicott and Gall, and pronounced in
sane, and committed to the asylum at
Stockton. He is SO years of age, a
native of ireland, and resident of Cal
ifornia for 81 years. The mental weak
ness is characteristic of the family, as a
sister and brother have been previously
committed to an asylum. The patient
was sent to Stockton about II years
ago. Excess in the use of liquor, COM
bined with mental weakness, is given
as the exciting cause. Latterly he has
had alternate spells OF depression
and suicidal inclination, and destructive
tendency.

MINING NOTES.

KENNEDY, = Webster Smith, who
has been assistant uperintendent of the
Kennedy mine during the long sick
ness of the late superintendent, j. F.
Parks, has been appointed superintend-
ent by the directors. Mr.. Smith is
thoroughly familiar with the mine, and
during his management has command
ed the confidence of the owners and
employees. His appointment to the
superintendency is hailed with satisfac
tion by all. The new skips at the east
shaft were attached over week ago.
Everything is running along smoothly
and satisfactorily. The addition of
twenty more stamps to the new mill
near the east shaft, is being pushed
ahead.
HoRN.-Geo. W. Horn, who has
been to San Francisco to attend the
annual meeting of stockholders, has re-
turned to the mine, near Defender. 1t
is understood that he has made ar
rangements to resume work on the tun-
mel, which, according to surface indi-
cations, lacks less than a hundred feet
of the point where the rich ore body
tapped by the shaft is expected to be
reached.
ARGoNAUT.-The repairing of the
shaft is making satisfactory headway.
They are now down below the 1000
Level. There is much work to be done,
however, before the milling of ore can
be started. Everything is running
along smoothly under the management
of superintendent J. B. Francis.

w. o. Clark of Drytown, the vet
eran grand army man in the United
States, was in Jackson today. He was
in the Black Hawk war in Illinois in
1892, near the place where Chicago
now stands; fought side by side with
Abraham Lincoln in that struggle.
He was sixteen years of age at that
time. He has moreover been an in
cessant warrior against intemperance,
which he says has caused more dis
tress, and the sacrifice of more lives
than war and pestilence combined. He
expects to go to Chicago in few days,
to be present at the fiftieth anniversary
of the temperance organization in
America. He is in his S7th' year, but
is still in the harness in temperance and
kindred work.

GOOD WORDS FOR SCOTT.
Former oskaioosa Resident wins
Praise Abroad.

A belated copy of the Cicero (Chi-
cago) Advocate, containing good
words for our former townsman Supt.
o o. Scott, drifted into THE HER
AID Office the other day. Some ex-
tracts from the article will be well
come to many of our readers and
{ lends of the we'll known educator.
The Advocate says:
The past year has been one of the
most successful in the history of the
schools of District No 100 due, first,
to the hearty co operation of the
teachers in carrying out the sugges-
tions and plans of the superintend-
emit; second, to the harmony and
peace in the teaching force thus en-
aiding them to d. their best york I;
third, to the scholarship and ability
OF the teachers; fourth to the spirit
OF industry and happy emulation
awakened among the pupils, and
fifth, to the general good health,
which always Influences the work of
school,
The b gh regard and esteem in
which Superintendent Grin O Scott
is held by the young people is mani
fest among other ways, lin the fact that
during his residence of five years in
the district be has never had an in
dignity offered him by pupil. He
has never so much as received an
ugly valentine nor heard his name
booted or called as have other men
by boys concealed about some corner.
Though obliged at times to severely
discipline be- did it in just, sympa-
thoi;c and dign;fed manner that LETT
no sting feeling of resentment.
He rerpects and loves the children
and they reciprocate the feeling
Often have people remarked upon the
care the boys take to always raise
their hats to him, and the girls when
meeting on the street to speak in a
cordial a. d respectful manner
Besides he superintendent,t the die
trict loses two Of it's best teachers a.

Horne, principal of Goodwin school,
Clyde, has sent her resignation %

position as critic teacher in the State
N 'rmal school at Duluth, Mimi, at a
salary of 500 per month.
