WKLL8VIIXK, O., April 13 —A terrible mishap, resulting ill fatal injuries to two persons, and probably permanent injury to a third, occurred here this morning. Aboot 10 o'clock the 5-year old daughter of Thos. Baker was playing near a hnge brush fire in the vicinity of her homo, on Hill street, when the child trippi I and fell iutd* the bluzing pile. The screams of the littleono attracted the attention of her  who ran to the scene and drew the child out of the fire. The > hi Id's clothing was a mass of flame*, which soon envelope*! the mother also. The agonized mother, with great presence of mind, ran to a shallow creek some '21K) feet distant, and threw herself and child into the water, only partly extinguishing the flames, however. Ithiiuirck hlis His W«j. In the meantime tho father, who was working some distance from his home, was attracted by tlio screams of his wife ami child and ran to tho spot, whore his oyes met a horrible sight. The bodies of his wife and little one were literally roasted, their faces, necks and arms presenting a terrible appearance. The child was nnconscions, and the mother nearly so. Both are fatally burned. In his desperate attempts to rescue his family, Baker's hands and arms were literally bnrned to the bono. The doctors fear he will lose one, or both.

It is o o b Ti t! late President John Taylor used (o make use of these epistles to advocate polygamy, and argue its rightfulness by references to the Old Testament and the alleged Mormon revelations, but President Woodruff has ignored tlie subject, evidently being determined to keep the church in lino with the movement inaugurated a year ago to abolish tho plural wife system. A significant circumstanoo is the fact that during the conference a young elder from the country named Clawson, being called to the pulpit, spoke in favor of continuing the practice of polygamy, ever since which deep indignation has been expressed by the public, and interviews with leading Mormons prove that they are as deeply chagrin ned by the yonrg man's reckless and unauthorized utterances as others. Ilnrrleil Ttrenty Times. The mnsation which Clawsou's utterances occasioned and the earnestness with which his discourse is condemned and repudiated, go far to prove that the Mormons are sincere in their declarations iu the press and on tlic witness' stand that they have abandoned polygamy. The absence of any mention of it in Mr. Woodruff's epistle is favorably commented on by the masses of Mormons as well -is theGentiles, who begin to believe that the saints are sincere in their professions. Salt Lake City, April 12.—The annual conference of the Mormon Church, which hag closed a four days' session, brought people from all the States and Territories where there are Mormons. The feature of the occasion was an epistle signed by Wilford Woodruff in behalf of tho Twelve Apostles,which differs materially intone from similar papers issued by his predecessor. It is an exhortation to the people t > live pure lives, being simply such an opis'lt us any bishop or pastor uf a Chris ti in cougiegition might present to lii.s H'iclt. The body is now resting in a vault, under constant surveillance. Three or four hours after the change which was called death tho mother obs -rved a flutter of tlio eyelids, aud then the ayes unclosed. Startled beyond meisure, the mother gave the alarm, declaring frautically that her son was not dead. His body was still warm, aud at once bottles of warm water were applied to his feet. Dr. Helen M. Hetl'ran was summoned. She pronounced the boy dead. Other physicians wore of the same opinion. The mother was still skeptical. waxen. The young man had not been able to sleep in areclining postnrefor many yoars. His disease had enfeebled him so that he was unable to he down, and all the rest he obtained was in a sitting posture. After his death he was laid upon his back, and the sudden diversion of blood to the head was undoubtedly responsible for any movemedt of the eyelids which was noticed. It also gave the face a more healthy appearance than it possessed in life. The eyelids of the corpse still flutter at intervals, and there is color iu the cheeks and nostrils. The rest of the body is Chicago, April 12—Farmer AhriaSmith lives at Washington Heights, one mile from the city. LaBt Friday his son Henry aged 22, died, audthe funeral was announced for Sunday afternoon atlto'clock. Sunday catne, but the funeral dill not take place. The neighbors were astonished to to hear that, the "corpso" was "in a trance." the funeral was postponed until Monday afternoon at :! o'clock, and when that hour arrived hearse and were again sent away, and it was given out that the funeral of Henry Smith had been indetlnitly postponed. £X C.
