Mrs. Livingston Burned To Death.

The Galveston Tex News gives the
following account of the manner in
which Mrs. Mollie Myers Livingston
met her death. Mrs. Livingston was a
sister of Capt. l. M. Myers of this
county. Her remains were buried in
the cemetery at this place, and at the
time the account of the interment
which appeared in the Record was
written, the manner of her death was
unknown to her local relatives.
1.-THE explosion of a kerosene lamp
sitting on a table by her bedside, where
she had fallen asleep reading a book
is attributed as the cause for the death
of Mrs. M. W. Livingston, of Calves
ton. who was burned to death in her
country home near Alta Iona about
1 80 o'clock Wednesday morning. Mrs.
Livingston who was Ga years of age,
was well known in. Galveston, where
she made her home with her daughter
Mrs. DIR. R. Maxwell, at 1317-24th
St, and was highly $Ieeamed in this
community. ~eS
Mrs Livingston went to Alta Iona
on Saturday afternoon to spend some
days at her country place near that
town There are two houses on the
property, large dwelling which was
occupied by tenants and a smaller
house nearby, which Mrs. Livingston
was accustomed to occupy at intervals
for few days at time. At about
1:S0 o'clock Wednesday morning ten
ants on the place were aroused by the
glare. of the flames. Rousing out,
they found the house occupied by,
Mrs. Livingston mass of flame. 1t
was only through heroic efforts that
the fire was extinguished and the main
building and .outbuildings were saved.
Mrs. Livingston's remains badly
burned, were found ON the bed which
she had occupied. For years she had
been in the habit of reading herself to
sleep at night. 1t is supposed from
conditions surrounding the body that
she had been reading Tuesday night by
the light of a kerosene lamp on table
nearby. A badly charred book was
found beside the body. The bowl of
the lamp was shattered.
Mrs. Livingston had been a resident
of Galveston for nine years, making
her home with her daughter. She
was born and raised in Lancaster, KY,
but came to Galyestyp from Iowa,
where she had been making her home.
Surviving are the daughter, Mrs.
MAXWELL; two sons, o. X. Livingston
of Nebraska and j. H. Livingston of
Georgia. "

We are aware of the fact that IAN
Associated Board of Charities" sounds
rather ''citifed", but ~e are fully con-
WINGED that the end justifes the means,
and that such thing is to be desired
in Lancaster. We need some means
for the systematic dispensation of
charity, some manner in which worthy
cases may be quickly investigated and
if they prove meritorious, relieved
without the necessity of someone can
wasting the town with a subscription
paper. The approach of winter brings
this necessity more forcibly to our
minds. On last Sunday morning one of
our citizens in looking around his rear
premises discovered a family of people,
father, mother and several little child
rem, huddled together in small room,
no fire, no food and in a destitute con-
dition. With the ready charity and
kind heartedness for which our people
are noted, he relieved their necessities
from his own pocket. Had we some
kind of charity organization, with a
common fund for such purposes, this
case could have been quickly and
thoroughly relieved without the cost
falling on one individual.
The board should be composed of a
representative from the city, and coun-
ty, the various churches, the ladies or
CARNATIONS of the city, and their trea-
sury could be supplemented by donations
from individuals; they could have a re-
pository where donations of clothing
and such things could be stored upon
which they might draw in cases of e.
mergency. They could have a commit
tee whose duty it would be to investi-
gate all cases coming to their notice,
relieving the worthy, and rejecting
those who they deemed not entitled to
their attention.
We are sure that the officials of both
the county and the city would lend
their hearty cooperation to such plan
and that all we need is someone to take
the initiative.
Is there not in Lancaster some phil
anthropic person who has sufficient
time to devote to this matter to bring
it into tangible shape.

A Signal Honor.

1t falls to the lot of but few men to
secure Office in the eighth Congress
ional district of Keneucky without op-
position, be the Office great or small,
but such has it been the good fortune
of Hon. Charles A. Hardin, who has
just had bestowed upon. him one of the
highest offices within the gift of the
people of his district, that of the cir
cult judgeship of the 18th judicial dis
trict, which is in the eighth con-
gressional. This is indeed mark of
honor and respect and speaks in glow
ing terms of the integrity of this
elegant gentleman.
For eight We RS has Mr.. Hardin
served the people of his district in the
capacity of CONFERENCE.-THE attorney,
and that he has made friends on every
hand is proven by the great honor
which he has just had bestowed upon
HIM. During his incumbency as the
representative of the Commonwealth
he has. handed out Justice without
fear or favor, never failing of a vigor=
GUS prosecution when the facts of the
case demanded it, and when occasion
it., tempering his duties
with mercy, ever holding to what he
deemed was right, he clearly proved to
the people that he was made of the
material of viii ch judges are made.
We believe that as circuit judge Mr.
Hardin will exercise that same pains
taking care and attention that he so
ably gave to the office which he is
about to yacate. and that by con-.
scientious and careful dispensation of
justice, he will during his term of
office establish for himself such a
record, and so endear himself to the
people that he will be chosen to sue
coed himself and will again find him
self without opposition,
