BURNED TO DEATH.
Neelyville Woman Lost Her Life by
Being Burned Saturday Afternoon.
Last Saturday afternoon about
5 o’clock Mrs. Jack Gladdis was
so severely burned about the
body and face at her home two
Kj»nd a half miles southwest of
Neelyville that she died early
Sunday morning, says the Poplar
Bluff Citizen.
* Mrs. Gladdis was attending to
her household duties while her
husband was working in the gar
den, a short distance from the
house, when he heard her
screams. He rushed to her as
assistance and managed to ex
tinguish the flames, but not until
she had been severely burned
about the head, face and body.
Her dress caught fire from a
stove while she was sweeping
and before her husband could
reach her she was entirely en
veloped in the flames. She
leaves a little ten-months old
baby and a husband to mourn
her sudden death.
To Renumber Engines.
It is learned from an unofficial
source that beginning immedi
ately, all Iron Mountain engines
are to be renumbered. It is un
derstood that master mechanics
have received, or will within a

begin the work. The plan is, it
is reported, to change the
method of numbering the en
gines. At this time there is a
system, which, to all intents and
purposes, has proven satisfact
ory. But it is said that the
large increase in the number of
locomotives makes it necessary
to reorganize the entire scheme.
For this reason the change is to
be made.
The plan that will be pursued
is to number the locomotives in
serials, according to classifica
tion. The numbering will com
mence at 1 and will continue
consecutively, with the excep
tion of occasional breaks to allow
for the numbering of additional
engines, as they may be added
to the equipment, and will, at
the present time, reach more
than 9,000.
A report gained circulation
that the lettering would be
changed from St. L. I. M. and
S. to M. P. as was the original
intention of the management,
but inquiry discloses the fact
that this will not be the case, for
the time being at least. That
this will be the ultimate result,
none doubt.

Tor Public Playground.
Hot Springs, Dec. 11.—A lot
has been offered by Mrs. Bessie
Ware, of this city to the W. C.
T. U. for the purpose of estab
lishing an open air gymnasium
and free public playground for
the children of the city, and it
is expected that her offer, which
is conditional upon the union’s
furnishing the equipment, will
be accepted at the next meeting.
The lot is a large one, situated
near the Central High school.

Hot Springs, Dec.' 12.—It de
velops that the robber or robbers
who robbed the mail wagon be
tween the postoffice and the
Rock Island station last Friday
night, were evidently intent on
getting a package of money
which they supposed was to be
sent that night from one of the
local banks.
It is the custom of the banks
of the city to ship at frequent
I intervals packages of mutilated
money to the United States sub
| treasury, for redemption and this
! custom was evidently known to
the robbers. They chose the
wrong night, however, and none
of the banks suffered.
So far as ascertained, the rob
bers got only two dollars for
I their pains.
Postoffice Inspector Wellborn
i is investigating the robbery, but
so far his efforts have met with
no more success than those of
Chief of Detectives Shevlin.

Perryville, Dec. 11.—Governor
Davis spoke here this.afternoon
at 1 o’clock to a good-sized crowd
from all parts of county. A
large number of ladies were in
the audience. The governor
spoke along the same lines as in
forrher speeches, reviewing his
efforts to drive out the trusts,
defending his pardon record and
paying a tribute to the Confed
ate soldiers.
Soon after Governor Davis be
gan speaking Senator A. W.
Rison, who was in the crowd, in
terrupted him, asking a number

placed under arrest on the charge
of carrying concealed weapons,
and will be given a hearing to
morrow.

The parents have been very

taken. Truly “sorrows come
not as single spies,” and it often
takes brave hearts to took be

sufficing solace in their faith that
the little ones gone are being

Boy Goes to Prison.
Little Rock, Dec. 12. —“He
never should have been convict
ed, anyway,” was the remark of
fx-Sheriff A. D. Grayson, of
Greene county, who came to Lit
tle Rock yesterday with Walter
Vaughan, a young farmer boy
of 24 years, who came to surren
der to the penitentiary authorit
ies to serve a term of one year
for manslaughter.
Two years ago Vaughan killed
another young man of his own
age, Charles Chamberlain, while
both were drinking and engag
ing in a quarrel. Chamberlain
had struck him and the killing
was so nearly a case of justifi
able homicide that the court con
victed him of manslaughter only.
