A FAMILY OF LIVING ELETONs.-Coroner
MCore of LC lisyile, In his rounds few days ago,
made a startling discovery in q miserable cabin
few miles from the city. The Courier-Journal OF
Wednesday says:
Crouching over q few mouldering sticks of wood
sat helpless old man, striving to draw q little
warmth from the half burned pieces, while about
b m were a number OF ragged, dirty and neg
let ted children. This old man was William SAM
pes. On the filthy. tattered mattress, the shucks
from which were scattered about the floor, lay the
c rpse of his wife, Catharne Samples, while at
her side, unable to move, lay the eldest daughter,
aeirl of fifteen, apparently in the last stages of
some fatal disease. Two of the smaller children
were also i'll, making three out of six children
who we've helpless. The coroner ascertained that
the mother had died Of pneumonia on Sunday
evening, and that she mad lain where she died
nearly forty eight hours. All this time the eldest
daughter, who bad also been seized with pneu.
monia, had been lying helpless at the side of her
mothers corpse. There were no white neighbors
nearer than mile away, and none knew of the
terrible suffering and distress in the little cherries
cabin. The old man, who seemed to be about
fifty years of age, was an invalid, and had long
been suffering from disease of the heart so that
he was unable to make any effort toward the re-
Ii OF his dying wife and starving children. Gaunt
and spectral, with net an inch of clothing that
was Iot torn to shreds, the half.naked children
hudded about him. As filthy as they were rag.
qed the poor little creatures were indeed pitisble
objects. They were all too young to realize fully
their condition. the youngest of five Of them beine
| almost an infant, and neither of the four other
| being ever ten years Of age.
