Here is an item of news that will
interest a number of persons in this
city. It is part of a special from
Charleston to the Herald:
The yacht Oneida, from New York,
steamed into Charleston harbor to
M iy with her colors at half mast.
Mr. H. M. Flager and other mem
bers of his family had arrived here
from St. Augustine on Monday to
await her arrival, expecting his
laughter and other members of the
family.
As soon as the yacht as signaled
Mr. Flager engaged a launch and
boarded her as she came across the
bay to find the dead body of his
daughter. Mrs. F. H. Benedict, ly
ing in the cabin. Mrs. Benedict
died rbout 3 o'clock on Monday
afternoon, just as the yacht, had
sighted Morris Island Lighthouse.
there wis on board her husband
and brother. Dr. Shelton, a Jsew
York homcepathist physician, and
three trained nurses, all from New
York.
Mr. Benedict is the son of EL C.
Benedict, the well-known New York
broker. Mrs. Benedict was very ill
Ahen she left New York and the sea
voyage had been recommended as a
last resort. Bv a singular coinci
dence she died just about the time
that her father, Mr. Fiagler.reached
this city. Mr. Flagler is the owner
of the famous Ponce de Leon Hotel
at St. Augustine.
A special train with the remains
passed here last night for New York.
Mr. Flagler had previously met his
daughter in Norfolk on his yacht
and she seemed somewhat better.
He then left for Charleston, expect
ing to meet the yacht there and ac
company his daughter and her hus
band to St. Augustine.
For a short chaoter of horrors we
think the following exceeds any
thing of the kind we have ever yet
seen in print. It is from Reading,
Pa.:
Farmer Ephraim Lander was
aroused from sleep at half past
twelve this morning. His house
near Palmyra, Lebanon county, was
on tire below and all egress by. the
stairwav was cut off. He called
loudlv to Miss Emily Shade, the
domestic, who slept in a room above,
seized his two children, one in each
arm, and leaped from the second
story window to the ground. His
wife also leaped and fell by her hus
band's side.
William Schaeffer, a neighbor,
rushed to the rescue and groped his
way up strairs to rescue the girl. He
seized her to carry her out, but
dropped to the floor nearly suffocat
ed. Schaener rolled down tne stair
way and was taken out just as the
upper floor fell.
Farmer Lander climbed to the
roof of a wagon shed to pour water
on the names when he slipped and
fell to the ground and was fatally
injured. The cattle turned loose
from the stables bellowed and
stampeded among the spectators.
and William James and Henry cut
ler were severely iujured by being
tossed on the horns of the maddened
beasts.
In two. hours everything was
swept away. The family escaped
onlv in their night clothes. At dawn
nothing could be found of the body
of Miss Shade. She was twenty
years of age. The young man to
whom she was betrothed arrived on
the scene, and when informed of her
fate he became temporarily insane.

At the Polls.
Fhe voting has proceeded quietly
at all of the wards in the city to day
There is no doubt of Democratic
success, nor any that the proposed

o'clock it was said that the Den
crats had a chance of carrying both
tne n-irst and Fifth Wards, which
are generally hopelessly Republican.

At 4 o'clock the situation
summed up as follows:
In the First Ward it is stated that

surely be elected, and that subscrip
tion will be carried by a two-thirds
vote.
In the Second Vard the voting
has been straight voting all day.

large vote.

There was no Republican ticket in
this Ward. At 4 o'clock 210 votes
had been cast for subscription and

In the Fifth Ward there is a regu
lar Republican as well as a regular
Democratic ticket in the field and at

A Dry Town To-day.
Wilmington was a dry town to
day. All of the saloons were closed
and the old topers will go thirsty to
bed to-night The most thirsty
ones of the whole lot, however, are
those who were so provident as to
lay m a supply last night, which
they drank before they went to bed
and didn't have anv left for thla
morning. On and after to mor
row morning they can get as much
as they want, if thev have the
