Fearful Holocaust in Green County.
Three Persons Consumed in a Burning Dwelling.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 24.—A letter to the Courier-Journal says the house of John D. Scott, in Green county, Ky., was burned Sunday morning. The family were all asleep, and the youngest daughter of Mr. Scott, when aroused, jumped from a second story window and escaped. Another daughter aroused the family, and all got out of the house except the daughter named and Wm. Perkins a boy 16 years old. After Mr. Scott found his daughter was still inside, he went back into the flames and was never seen again. Next morning a few scorched bones were found, all that remained of three persons. They were all buried in one case.
