The Clayton Banner (Barbour county, Ala.) records the dastardly murder of Mr. James Orr, a highly respected citizen of that county. He was called from his bed at night by some one outside, and was shot down dead at his door by an unknown person. Suspicion rests upon one of his own negroes and a white boy named Bailey, lately discharged from employment by Mr. Orr.

Burned to Death in a Boarding House (1892)

BURNED TO DEATH IN A BOARDING HOUSE
Servant Mary Quinn Unable to Free Herself from the Flames in Her Room.
The occupants of Mrs. Lizzie Blum's boarding house, at No. 130 East Fifty-ninth street, were aroused about five o'clock yesterday morning by cries of "Fire!" and the shrieks of a woman, loud at first, then becoming fainter.
The cries came from a room on the top floor, occupied by Mary Quinn, maid of all work, in the five story brown stone boarding house. The girl had worked late the night before, not retiring till nearly midnight. That was the last heard of her until her cries aroused the inmates of the house.
The first person to reach the room was Mr. Dimond, one of the boarders. The girl's room had no gas burner and was without a lamp, the only night light coming from a gas burner in the hall. Dimond says this gas jet was burning when he reached the girl's door. Her room was full of smoke and flame.
Mr. Dimond says he shouted "Fire!" and then called to the girl to come out.
"I can't come out," was the faint reply.
"Can you see me?" asked Mr. Dimond, who stood in the light outside the door.
"Yes," gasped the girl.
"That was the last word she spoke," said Mr. Dimond. "When I saw she couldn't get out and that the smoke was too thick for me to go in I went away."
Some one had sent in an alarm, and when the firemen had put out the flames they found Mary Quinn lying near the bed dead and frightfully burned.
As to the cause of the fire, it is that the girl lighted a match to see what time it was, dropped the match on the floor and fell asleep, to be awakened by [t]he smoke and flames.
Mrs. Blum only knew of the girl that she had said she had relatives at Coney Island. She was Irish, twenty-five years old and reticent. She never went out and said she did not care for "days off." A letter was found among her effects which led Mrs. Blum to believe the girl's real name was Mary McCabe.
Dr. Conway gave a permit for the removal of the body, which was taken to the Morgue. If it is not identified by Wednesday it will be buried in Potter's Field. There will be an inquest.

DOCTORS MOURN AT CRAIG'S BIER
Impressive Funeral Services on Body of Dr. Albert B. Craig, Who Gave Life for Friend.
Borne to his last resting place by brother physicians who had loved him during life, the remains of Dr. Albert B. Craig were yesterday afternoon interred in Newton Cemetery. Brief but touching were the services over the body of the man who died last Monday in Philadelphia, a victim of cerebro spinal meningitis, contracted while attending a friend suffering from the same disease.
Rev. Franklin S. Hatch, acting pastor of Eliot Congretional Church, officiated, and he referred in impressive terms to the untimely death of the young hero, of his full consciousness of the risk he ran when he was summoned to the bedside of his friend, Benjamin S. Park, and of how, his sympathies aroused by the absence of all friends and the serious condition of the patient, he freely gave his life in the line of duty. Upon the outset of his symptoms he diagnosed hos own case, bravely set his affairs in order, and prepared his bride of but five months for the probable end. His last words were: "I am neither ashamed nor afraid to die."
The pall-bearers were Dr. W. J. Rowe, Dr. Charles S. Barnes and Dr. Byer of Philadelphia, Dr. Charles L. Pearson of Newton and Danforth Cummings of Cambridge. The American Medical Journal, of which Dr. Craig was sub-editor, was represented by Mrs. Dr. G. C. C. Howard, the managing editor.

IN A FLY WHEEL
Albert Craig's Misstep Caused Him Instant and Horrible Death.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Mexico, Mo., April 5 -- This morning at 6 o'clock Albert Craig of Centralia, Ill., was instantly killed in the Electric Light Power-House in this city. Young Craig, in company with A. J. Duputy of Indianapolis, Ind., came in from Kansas city this morning on a visit to his uncle, Morgan Day, chief engineer of the power-house in which he was killed. It being rather late which they got in they decided to make a bunk in the lighthouse.
This morning when awakened, young Craig, in attempting to reach the boiler-room, walked into a monster fly wheel, revolving 80 times a minute, and was carried to the basement and up again and thrown from the wheel at its highest point. He struck the brick wall of the building and fell to the floor dead. The remains will be interred here.

DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.
Miss Ida Craig, Living Near Lancaster, Takes Her Own Life.
Special to The State.
Lancaster, Nov. 4 -- Miss Ida Craig, a young lady about 20 years of age, living about eight miles in the county, put an end to her life by drinking carbolic acid this morning about 3 o'clock. She had been using the acid for toothache, and the supposition is that after retiring for the night she drank the contents of the bottle, which was a small one with only a small quantity of the acid diluted therein. The young lady had been complaining during the day and it is probable her mind had become unbalanced from ill health.
