Her husband was not notified of hi3 grievous loss until he ret::.ied from work, and then the neighbors tre unable to do more, it seems, than to refer him to the undertaker'?. "Go to the morgue," one said, "and you will find out." There he walked in to find the undertaker at work on the bodies, and then fell In a faint from the shock. In conversation with & Journal reporter he said hia wife had been hired by a man who slept in a house adjoining his to clean his room, "a dark garret immediately under the roof and badly Infected with vermin. It is presumed sh3 had used gasoline for cleaning purposes and attempted to light a candle or a lamp for a better light. The fumes caused an explosion and set the house on lire. Her babe was with her when the firemen arrived, the little body was found lying across her breast, both being on the floor. Their bodies were badly burned. There were rumors at first of murder, but the husband's explanation of her presence in the bedroom relieves the horrible affair of that suspicion. Lockjaw Ftitnl, After tin Accident.

Ha Caused a Peculiar Legal and Med leal TaiiRle at IIiiKerstovrn. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. IIAGERSTOWN, Ind., Sept. 17. A case full of Interest to local authorities and all citizens, and medical men, especially, has developed over a case of alleged scarlet fever. Dr. N. F. Canaday, who is health officer for the town, was called to treat a child sick with a disease which the doctors pronounced scarlet fever. At the end of a week the child was worse, and the parents decided to call another physician. Accordingly Dr. C. L. Stottlemyer, a resident physician, was called, lie said the child did not have scarlet fever, but cholera infanturn and acute. Bright'? disease. He changed j the treatment, but the child rapidly became worse, and two days afterward died. Dr. Canaday had ejuarantlned the house, put up a scarlet fever card, and observed all lawful precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. When Dr. Stottlemyer took charge the neighbors no longer observed the required precautions, anil came and went indiscriminately. The scarlet fever card was taken down, by whom is not known, and the public came and went aa in a case of oniinary disease. Dr. Canaday, as health officer, must issue burial permits for all cases in his jurisdiction, and he refused to issue a certificate on the return made out by Dr. Stottlemyer for the reasn, as he stated, that it did not correctly describe the disease with which the child died. There was much controversy before, the burial permit was finally issuel. After the burial Dr. Canaday Invoked the aid of the law to straighten out the tangle, and Prosecutor Bond came over from Richmond and caused the arrest of Dr. Stottlemyer on the charge of taking down a warning card from an infected house. "The trial was set for Tuesday, but the prosecuting attorney sent word last night to the justice of the peace to nolle the care, as he did not think there was anything to justify prosecution. The justice of the peace, M. AV. Grills, refuses to follow the suggestion of the prosecuting attorney, nnd the case is yet on the docket. Jacob Hutchinson and John AVerking, the former being the father of the child, wer cited to appear before the same court to answer similar charges. The local authorities cannot understand why the prosecutor made Iiis sudden change of front in the case, and eleclare that they are determined the matter shall be heanl in court. The secretary of the State Board of Health, Dr. Hurty, has been appealed to, and he Is expected to come here and personally conduct the examination in the case to letermlne whether the law has been violated.

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 6, via A'ictoria, B. C, Sept. 17. The trial of Eba Sotaro, assassin of Mr. HoshI Toru, former minister to AVashington, is now in progress and absorbs public attention. The high social and moral station of the prisoner, his extraordinary cool, collected and sane demeanor made his statement when under examination an event of great dramatic interest. He gives intense moral indignation at political corruption as the sole motive for his deed. Under this impulse he was acting strictly in accordance with the old Japanese idea of tho duty of a Samurai. Intense popular sympathy is aroused in behalf of the assassin, and the government is therefore in a very embarrassing position. To execute capital punishment upon him would cause a storm of public indignation, while to condone his crime would give rise to a spirit of emulation of his deed. Judgment will be given in a few days, and it is generally believed that life imprisonment will bo the sentence. The return from China of Prince Konoye. the president of the House of Peers, bringing news of the practical success of his errand the encouragement of closer relations between Japan and China has put new life into the political party with which he is identiäed. and there is little doubt that the two countries will co-operate more fraternally than before.

INDIANA CONFER KATE OPENS FOIt FIVE DAYS' SESSIONS. Possible Pastoral Changes Work of the Friends at Plalnfleld United Brethren 3Ieet at A'eedershnrs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD, Ind., Sept. 17. The seventieth session of the Indiana Conference opened here this evening. Evangelistic services were led by the Rev. J. W. Allen, of Arlington.

"Members of the conference have arrived from all parts of central and southern Indiana, and most of the pastors enrolled in the conference already are present. Possible Pastoral Change. The Methodist churches of the Indiana Conference, which convened at Bedford Tuesday night, are anticipating many important changes in the pastorates of the conference. It is practically certain that the Rev. C. AV. Tinsley will be transferred to the Centenary Church at Terre Haute, which is the largest of the congregations in the Northwest Indiana Conference. Mr. Tinsley has been pastor of the Broadway Church here for two years, taking up the work there after two years at the Fletcherplace Church. If this transfer to the Northwest Conference Is made the Broadway Church in this city probably will secure the Rev. AVorth Tippy, now and for five years past the pastor of the Centenary Church at Terre Haute. Mr. Tinsley will be considered fortunate if he is transferred to the Centenary Church, as it is considered one of the most important charges in the State, the salary being $100 higher than that of the Broadway Church In this city, which is $1,7. The Rev. Charles Tinsley, pastor of Fur-nas-place Church, and father of the Rev. C. AV. Tinsley, also will be transferred, but it is not yet known to what charge he will be assigned. Another important transfer is that of the Rev. M. A. Farr, now and for three years past the pastor of First Church, at Columbus. Mr. Farr has been called to the Trinity Church, at Evansville. It is possible that he will be succeeded at Columbus by the Rev. George M. Smith, pastor of Hall-place Church, of this city. None of these appointments has been confirmed by the Bishop, but calls have been extended to Messrs. Tinsley and Farr, and it is practically certain that these two changes will be made. 4 T EM PER A N C K HISCl'SSIO X. AVestern Yearly Meeting Considers the Menace of Littuor.
