Philadelphia, Pa., June 20. Gen.
Simon Cameron is dying. Ihe vet
eran statesman has been so serious-
ljillthat he has been unable to
leave his bed for weeks. His stom
ich has completely failed, but his
marvelous constitution ciinie to his
rescue and he pulled through. A
little later, the Pennsylvania legisla
ture, Senate and House, adjourned
to pay a visit in a body to his coun
try place in honor of the General's
Mrthday. Since then he has gradu
ally recovered his spirits, but late
,'this afternoon he suffered in his left

to Kingfisher, he was met by Bea

United States Marshals from Guth
rie, and to-night intelligence is re

to bis assistance with firearms and
are successfully holding at bay the
deputies. Serious trouble is feared
before the arrest can be made. Both

J. Hilton, a wealthy and miserly old
merchant of this city who is thought
to be on his death bed, to-day crawl
ed from his bod in a back room in
his store and went into the store.
He was followed by an old negro,
his attendant, whom he ordered to
take a certain nail Keg and put it on
the fire in his room, telling him that
it had a few nails in it and some old
papers that he wished to destoy. The
negro did as directed.
Soon afterward a gentleman en
tered and seeing a large pile of
nails in the fireplace and what seem
ed to be the smoking remains of
burnt papers began to make an exam
ination of the ashes and found ahure
mass of half burnt greenbacks and
government 4 per cent Donas, ag
gregating $30,000 in value.
Hilton has a wife and one child-
a profligate son who has cause much
trouble and he and his wife have
been seperated for - some time and
there is now pending a suit for di
vorce and alimony against him by
bis wife. A great deal of bitterness
has crown out of the 6uit and it is
thought that he preferred to see his
property in ashes than . for his wife
and son to inherit it He is not ex
pected to live many days and is now
too feeble to talk and refuses to di
vulge anything. He has an antipi-
thy to lawyers and has said that he
feared that they and his wife would
get all he had. A guard has been
placed around his store to-night for
fear that he will have it in flames.
Legal proceeding were taken out to
have him declared a lunatic this
afternoon, but the jury found him
of sound mind.

At 1 o'clock this morning, as Al
mond. Lynn and his wife, of 579 Har
rison avenue, were about retiring for
the night, Mrs. Lynn extinguished
the light and, unscrewing the top of
the lamp, poured the kerosene over
her person, and deliberately lighting
a match, ignited the oil. Instantly
she was enveloped in flames, and her
husband, springing from the led.
vainly endeavored to quell the fire
by wrapping a blanket about the un
fortunate woman, but she broke
away, flinging herself on the bed
where their 4-year-old son Leo was
lying, whom he siezed and placed
out of harm's way. Then he return
ed to his wife, but could not put out
the flames until she was burned al
most to a crisp. Physicians were
called to alleviate the sufferings of
the poor woman, but in spite their
care she died at 6 o'clock.
The husband was found this morn
ing completely unmanned by the
shock. Between sobs he said to an
Evening News reporter: "I can ac
count for the act only in one way,
that she was insane through jealousy.

that cause and I will confess that
