WILMINGTON, N. C, SUNDAY; JANUARY 12,
CHILD'S TRAGIC DEATH
IN P0R1SM0UTH, V.
Little Son of Mr. sod Mrs. John Manoder
Drank Carbolic Acid and Died
Very Soon.
The numerous friends in the city of
Mr. and Mrs. John Maunder, of Ports
mouth, Va., pour out to them their
tenderest sympathy in the death of
their little eighteen-months-old son,
Charles, which occurred at the family
home in Virginia yesterday morning
under most trying circumstances, the
child having died from swallowing
carbolic acid while for a moment from
under the watchful care of his devoted
mother.
The news of the distressing affair is
thus told in yesterday's Norfolk Land
mark before the sad death of the little
one:
"Yesterday morning about 11
o'clock at the residence, 530 Harrison
street, this city, the 18 -months-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. John Maunder
drank a small quantity of carbolic
acid, and as a natural consequence
now lies in a most pitable condition.
"Mr. Maunder, in talking to a Land
mark man about this much-to-be-regretted
affair, said he formerly lived
in the house, had moved out and had
just moved again, and his wife was
very busy arranging the. furniture in
the house and setting things to right.
"The little fellow was playing about
the floor, and no thought entered the
mind of his mother that harm could
possibly befall him, auch a thing as he
going in a trunk never for a moment
suggesting itself. But it is the unex
pected that generally happens, as ex
emplified in this case. He did lift the
id of a trunk in which there had been
stored several bottles of various kinds
of medicines, and selecting one he
drank from it a portion of its con
tents, which happened to be the worst
and most dangerous of the lot car
bolic acid.
"The screams of the child were of
the kind to melt the stoutest heart,
and messengers were dispatched in
every direstion to summon physicians.
Dr. T. EL Wilkins responded, and he
did everything the science of medicine
could suggest to alleviate the horrible
suffering of the child, and after patient
attention for about two hours was re
warded "to a considerable extent. Dr.
McMurran, the family physician, took
charge of the little fellow upon his ar
rival upon the scene.
"The mouth and throat are burned
in a horrible manner, but the physi
cians and parents are hopeful that but
little, if any, of tbe dangerous liquid
found its way into the stomach, and
the belief is strengthened by the small
amount of the acid finding its way in
the baby s mouth. r
"Mr. Maunder some time later said
that his baby boy was easier, and he
bad high hopes of ultimate recovery."
The remains of the unfortunate1 lit
tle child, accompanied by the sorrow
ing parents, reached Wilmington last
night and were taken to the residence
of Mrs. Maunder'a father, Mr. Geo.
W. Hughes, Eighth and Harnett
streets, whence the funeral will be
held at 3 P. M. to-day.
Mr. Maunder is a son of Wilming
ton's esteemed citisen. Alderman J.
Frank Maunder.
THE FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Peannts Stored On Dock Street Canht
From Adjoining Baildlsi Fireman
Kerman Isjored by Falling.
About 9 o'clock last night fire was
discovered upstairs in the factory of
the Wilmington Peanut Company,
Mr. E. F. Johnson proprietor, No.
108 Dock street. An alarm was sent
in from box 43, Front and Orange
streets, and with the aid of the Chem
ical Engine the flames were toon ex
tinguished, with a damage of less
than $100, which is fully protected
by insurance with the agencies of J.
H. Boatwright & Son, Willard &
Giles, Walker Taylor and W. W.
Hodges. The building is owned by
Capt. A. P. Adrian, and is but slight
ly injured.
The fire originated from sparks from
a chimney on fire across the street,
one of the windows of the factory
having been open at the time. There
were several thousand bushels of pea
nuts on the second floor, and it is due
to creditable work by the department
that a greater loss was not sustained.
During the fire, J. M. Kerman, a
member of Hook and Ladder Co. No.
1, fell through a scuttle hole in the
second floor and severely bruised his
right hip. He was sent immediately
to Ms Headquarters and later to his
home on Fourth and Nun street,
where Dr Frank H. Russell attended
him. So common has become the
accident of firemen falling through
scuttles that Chairman George Har-
riss, of the Fire Committee, suggested
after the fire last night the propriety
of adopting an ordinance requiring all
such places in buildings to be enclosed
by a substantial railing.
Died in Snmter; Burled Here.
Friends in the city will regret to
know of the death of Mrs. Susan A.
Reding, a former resident of Wil
mington and sister of Mrs. Miles
Cos tin. which occurred at her late
home in Sumter, S. C Friday night
at 11 o'clock after a long and painful
nAVi-lnc with cancer of the face. She
was 82 vears of age and a most estima
ble woman. The remains, accompanied
by Mr. Wm. Hall, of Sumter, reached
Wilmington on the Southern train
vesterdav and impressive i funeral ser
vice's were conducted from the station
bv Rev. Dr. Calvin 5. Blackwell, pas
tor of the First Baptist church. The
remains were interred in Oakdale
cemetery, the following having acted
as call -bearers: Messrs. Jno. J. Fow

before the disturbance an unknown
negro walked in the store and was
ooking at some razors, ostensibly
with a view to purchasing. The
Syrians claimed the negro slipped one
of the razors in his pocket the colored
man boisterously protested and a gen
eral row in which men women and
children participated was the result.
The "push" soon moved into the
street and the negro went for the
8yrians with razor and pistoL One of
the proprietors of the store was cut or
wounded by a pistol shot under the
right eye and very near' the nose, and
the other was severely gashed about
the shoulder and arm in three or four
places. Drs. F. H. Russell and W.
E. Storm gave them the necessary sur
gical attention, and they were allowed
to remain at their homes over the
store.
Tbe police made a diligent search
but were unable to arrest the negro,
whom the Syrians did not know nor
of whom could they give the least
description.
MACHINISTS ASK FOR INCREASE.
Delegations From Florence and Rocky
Mount Here fer Conference.
Florence Times, Uth. J
In Wilmington to-day committees
from Unity Lodge, of Florence, and
Rocky Mount Lodge, of Rocky Mount,

already presented for an jncrease of 10
per cent Mr. Kenly appointed to-day

McU. Wilson, Ed. Woods and Unas.
M. Newman. They went to Wilming
ton this morning. The Rocky Mount
machinists will be represented by
Messrs. Rehder, Kilmartin and ' Jen
kins.
The kindliest feeling seems to exist
between the employes of the two
shops and the officials of the road, and
no clash of any sort is expected. Never
theless the matter is of vital interest
to the machinists, and they are in
high hopes of the increase being
granted. They base their hopes, it is
said, upon the attitude of tbe officials,
who seem disposed to be reasonable.
The increase desired applies only to
machinists, it granted it means 25
cents more a day for a ten hour day.
The present scale in force in the
shops in this city is $2.60 a day.
Shorter hours will not be asked for.
All the employes in the shops, even
those not affected, are greatly interest
ed in tbe outcome of the conference.
