0 Mrs. Buckheit Burned to Oeeth. FivORKNCK. Dec. 2. Shortly after 2 o’clock this afternoon there occured one of the most shocking accidents that , v r happened in this city and in which Mrs J E Buckheit, wife of Mr Charles A Buckheit, lost her life bv heintr roasted alive The facts are: \lr. Buckheit, the husband of tha deceased lady, runs a bakery and restau rant at the southeast corner of Evans street and Railroad avenue on one of the most fre-1 quented streets of the city. ! Adjoining Ins store", to the rear, ‘ is his four-room dwelling, where he and his family reside. Mrs. Buckheit was in Ihe t tore short ly before the usual dinner hour anti asked her husband what ditl he want for dinner, as she was feeling badly and did not care about worrying too much A HERO OF THE MERRlMAO. Death of Joseph Rnldock-The only Charlestonian who Served on the Fa m jus Con ederale Ironclad. Another old Confederate vete ran has answered his last roll call and crossed the river to join his comrades. Joseph Rid d-ek was born in New Jersey and came to Charleston in his boyhood, where he was educat- • <1 at the school of the vener • ole schoolmaster Thayer. He alter wards learned the gasfit- ting and plumber’s trade, and at the breaking out of the war was employed at the Charleston Das Company’s works, and wat also vice president of the Pal metto b ire Engine Company, of the old volunteer fire depart ment, which would have ex- |etnpted hitr. from army duty; but, actuated by a patriotic * * - iy VaBr .

As soon as the fioines somewhat subdued Mrs were Buckheit was found lying flat on her back on the floor with all Iter clothes and hair burned off and her body a mass of charred and blackened flesh and life totally extinct. The alarm of fire was given and by this time a large crowd had collected about the house and had subdued the flames. Just how the fire started is not and will probably never be known, but the supposition is that she having gone in the room to rest for awhile probab ly fell asleep and a coal from the fireplace which was aglow had popped out on the feather bed on which she lay and had burned her so badly before she awoke that she was unconcious after awakening. She was, therefore, unable to either find the door of exit or even to scream. This horrible occur rence is a sad one, indeed, in as much as help was so near could she have but screamed once. Mrs. Buckheit leaves a hus band and several small children, the youngest of which is an in fant. The funeral services will be held from her late residence at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning and the interment will be made in Mount Hope Cemetery. Tobacco as a Disinfectant. Tobacco has long been claim ed by its devotees to be a most ellicient disinfectant, but de fenders of the smoking habit, says Harper's Weekly, fail to make use of the most powerful arguments in its favor. Hither to the most that has been claim ed in favor of smoking was a certain subtle, beneficial effect on the digestion and soothing effect on the nerves. It has been learned recently from the report of investiga tions of the effect of tobacco during the epidemic of cholera at Hamburg, that cholera mi crobes could not exist in the mouths of smokers. There are no living bacteria, after twenty-four hours, in ci gars made up with water con taining 1,500,000 cholera germs to the cubic inch. There were no traces of microbes to be found in any of the cigars manufactured at Hamburg in the time of the epidemic. The microbes die in a half or two hours’ exposure to smoke of Brazil, Sumatra or Havana to bacco. The smoke of any cigar kills the microbes. Experiments show that in five minutes after beginning to smoke the mic- lobes in the mouth are killed. Another fact estab lished is that none of the persons employed in the tobacco factories at Hamburg contract clnlera.
