END OF AN INQUEST.
A Baby Which Dad Not Dic In Mysterl

Way.
Last evening the jury which was i'm
panneled by the coroner to ascertain in
what manner the little child of Elizabeth
Shaub came to its death, met at Capt.
Schuh's Washington House, on North
Queen street. The following witnesses
were examined DR.. Oliver Roland, DR..
]. w. Hess, Elizabeth Shaub tho mother
OF the child), Eva Norton, Mrs. Huber
and Mrs. Zach Booth. The evidence
showed that the child was born on May Is
aud was nursed with bottle.
DR.. Roland attended the mother
during her confinement and saw the child
and her three or four times after
ward. The child was delicate from the
time of its birth. DR.. Hess was called in to
see itOver week previous to its death.
He found it to be very delicate and knew
that it could not live even if it received
the best nursing. The doctor left medi-
cine for the child and told the mother to
give it some corn-starch, but no milk. This
was not done, as the mother didnot under
stand the doctor to say she should give it
corn-starch. The medicine was given to
the child, but it would not remain on its
stomach, neither could it take milk. The
child suffered from dysentery. On Satur-
day morning at an early hour it died, while
a man named Lutz was in the room
with it, the mother having gone
