Charlotte, D,o ls.-Suppoaedly
t>ut of pure Ignorance Mr. and Mra.
Frank Blvlna went to the Seaboard
lepot yesterday morning leaving In
the care of the undertaking establish
ment of J. M. Harry & Co., the body
t>f the 10-months-oid babe that had
lied the night before In the arma of
Its mother as she searched In desper
ation for a doctor on the square The
husband, wife and little daughtar.
Wattle Lee, were comfortably quart
sreJ for the night at the Charlotte
hotel. It having been a matter of ex
ceeding difficulty to persuade them
to leave the body of the dead child
In the custody of the undertakers for
the night.
?When they arose Saturday morn tut,
they made no inquiry at the under
taking establishment about the child
>r what arrangement* had boon made
to convey the body to Cheeryvllle,
the destination of the stricken faml
y.
They went to the depot and were
ready to board the train when Mr. J.

l burial. He made all necessary ar
?an(tements to ship the corpse to
^herryvllle, the parents being In to
tal Ignorance as to what course to
?ursue In carrying the body away.
The nivlns family fell among Sa
narltans during their memorable
ind eventful stay in the city. The
ounty authorities agreed to bear the
expenses of the casket and the un

ipread quickly and a crowd of drum
ners and others contributed ft to
hem. making their stay In Char
otte without an element of pecun

The Incident, aside from Its unua
Jal feature, was one of extreme pa
thos. The family appeared to be In

rh'ey seemed to be clothed well
snough, but In nothing but tho heav
