Four Burned to Death.

Caroleen, speciai.-At ii O'Clock
Wednesday night large two-story
dwelling house at Henrietta caught
fire from the closet below, and before
the family or neighbors awoke TO
make the discovery the flames had ad-
vanced too far to save the building
or any of its contents. The most
dreadful feature of the disaster was
the loss of two little children sleeping
up stairs who were burned to death
and their bodies can scarcely be rec
onized. Two sons of Ms. MeDade,
who occupied the house, were so seri-
ously burned by their efforts to make
their escape that it is not thought that
they can live. Also old Mr.. McDade
was badly burned and may not recov-
er. Details would pronounce this the
saddest calamity in the history of the
town. The two young men of the Me-
Dade family died from the horrible
burns received. The young men were
Is and 20 years of age respectively,
and nearly gave their lives to save
from the flames the two little children
aged and g. Mrs McDade may yet
| die as a fifth victim.

pei the production Of the minutes OF

suited in the alleged agreement TO

Mr.. Southal said TO the commits
sion that he intended to show by the
minutes Of these conferences that
they were participated in by railroad
men Notwithstanding the denial OF
this during the earlier testimony.
The railroad representatives replied
that the minutes would not show the
presence of railroad men at confer

agreement was entered into by them
regarding the rates in question. 1t is
claimed that if an agreement was
reached between the steamship lines

Charlotte, Srecial-Messrs. I. ~

an Improvement upon the present
cotton gin that promises to revolution

has been tested and found to be a
success. The simple little touch given

one-third Of the cost and half the
time in ginning bale of cotton. IN
other words, if the invention gould be
added to every gin IN the country the
cost of ginning 13,000,000 bale crop
would be reduced from $26,0O0,000 10
