A - Colored Girl Fatally Ilarnea Ex citement Caasoa y the Distressed ' mother. fl Yesterday morning Maria Elkins, wife of York Elkins, a well known colored cooper of this city, left her home on Second, between Marsteller and Meares street, in the extreme southern section of the city, to visit her husband for some purpose, who is employed at Mr. Alex. Oldham's Cape Fear Mllls.ieaving at home her daughter Minnie, between 8 and 10 years old,' in charge of the baby.' Not long afterwards (about half -past 10 o'clock) the whole neighborhood was startled by what ap- peared to be an explosion ia the Elkms, house and all rushed to their doors to see what' had happened . iNext appeared to tte ' horeor-strlcken vision the person of the little girl, her clothing in a light,: blaze. Several.' persons rushed to the assistance of the poor creature, and easily extinguished the slight remnant of fire, which Jiad destroyed almost the last vestige, f be unfortunate girl's clothing and reduced her entire person almost to a crisp. One scream was heard from her im mediately after the occurrence of the ) noise '"-supposed to have been an explosion and onsfcry, "Oh, Lord!" when she appeared at the door, after which she seemed unable to utter a souad. When the neighbors got to her she was gasping for breath. She was taken into the house; when every care and attention was bestowed upon her, while in the 'meantime a messenger had been dis- psched for her mother. There was, no means of ascertaining ex- adJy how the accident occurred, but as a kerosene oilcan with the bottom blown out was Xouad near the stove, it is supposed that the .girl was in the act of pouring oil into the stpve -when the can exploded.' Tha baby made a narrow escape, as one end of the carriage in which it bad been sleeping was burned. ! I The mother of the "unfortunate girl was found on Front street, near Chesnut, and informed of the terrible accident, when she was so overcome with grief and horror. that she commenced screaming at the top of her lungs. ' Her distressing cries were( heard for squares around, and crowds ran in the direction of Front and Princess, some thinktag there was an alarm of fire, and that some woman had been penned in by the flames; while others were bewildered, hot knowing what to think. Soon.howsver, the cause pf ' her heart touching cries be came 1 to be generally known, and alii felt sympathy for the poor heart broken moth- , who continued her cries all tha Way Ttl '-4. 1 t bpme and long after she arrived thorn. In-. deed, she ,was so overwhelmed -by - a sense of what had. occurred that she fell down once or twice and had to be assisted to her feet, and was finally lifted into a vehicle and thus conveyed to the side of her suf fering and dying daughter. It was understood when the reporters arrived at Elkins' house that the burns could not prove otherwise Chan fatal. Since writing the above we learn that the child is dead. , . 1 . b-b a Criminal Co art. ,,The following cases were disposed of ia this Court yesterday ; State vss Thoaaas Whitfield, larceny; judgment of. the Court having been af firmed by the Supreme Court, defendant as sentenced to the Penitentiary for 6 years.1 ., State vs. Ulysses Richardson; assault and battery. - Defendant found guilty and sentenced to 13 months in County House of Correction.
