A Fatal Accident at Lucas, Ohio
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati, Gazette
Lucas, O., August 9.
     A little girl named Jennie Ross, aged eight yeas, was fatally burned at Lucas, Ohio, last night while attempting to kindle a fire with coal oil.

     THERE is a Bible in Lucas County, Ohio, which at one time contained some very warm scriptural texts.  It belongs to Mr. Scheboldt, a native of Bohemia.  It was formerly the property of his grandmother, who was very devout protestant.  During one of those unfortunate periods when religious prosecutions were common in Austria, a law was passed at the instance of the Roman Catholics that every Bible in the hands of the people should be surrendered to the priests, to be burned.  Mrs. Scheboldt determined to save hers and when the party came to search her house, she had just prepared a huge batch of dough for the oven, and taking her precious Bible she wrapped the yielding dough around it and quickly deposited it in the oven.  Here it was thoroughly baked, but was saved uninjured from the fiery furnace of the priests.  It has passed through several generations as a memorial of the days when men were not allowed to worship God in accordance with the dictates of their own conscience. - Louisville Courier-Journal.

MYSTERIOUS CASE - HOUSEKEEPER AS WELL AS GIRL DROWNED IN MAUMEE RIVER ABOUT SAME TIME.
Notes Written by Different Persons are signed by the Girl - Mourners at Funeral of Housekeeper Discover the Body of The Girl - Letters Tell of How the Girl Is Going to Her Mother, Long Dead.
     Toledo, O., July 12, - Following the supposed suicide of 17 year old Clara Strayer in the Maumee river Monday was the discovery today of the body of Katie Winover; housekeeper for the girl's father, whom the daughter looked upon as a step-mother, floating in almost the same place as was the corpse of Miss Strayer when discovered.  Mourners returning from the funeral of Miss Strayer found the housekeepers' body.
     Lincoln Strayer, the girl's father, is a farmer, living near Grand Rapids, O., a few miles up the Maumee.  His wife died when the girl was a babe in arms, and since that time Katie Winover has been the family housekeeper.
     On the river bank this note was found Monday:  "I am buried in the old Maumee.  I am going to mother.  Good-bye, Clara."  A search then revealed the body.  Tuesday there was found in almost the same spot a note in an entirely different handwriting, which read:  " Dear Papa:  I want to bid you and all the friends good-bye.  I expect to go and live with mamma, for you know how I am treated by Katie.  Your loving daughter, Clara." 
     The two notes, which experts say were written by different persons, and the death of the Winover woman, who might have supplied the key to the mystery, are puzzling the police.  The housekeeper disappeared Tuesday night.
