EACERATED BY A PEN-HOLDER
Frightful Death of a Child by Having One

Frightful Death of Child by Having One
Run in Its Throat.
New York, April S.-There is mourning
in the house of Bernard Tulley, on the
third floor of the tenement, 1859 Madison
street. Little Nellie, his pretty six-year-
old daughter, lies dead there. She was
playing about in the narrow hall ON
Wednesday evening, shortly after six
o'clock, while Mrs. Tully was busy in the
kitchen. Nellie had picked up a PEN
holder from the table where her elder
sister had been writing, and held it be-
tween her teeth as she ran through the
hallway. Just how she managed to trip
and fan is not known, but when her father
ran out into the hall he found the little
girl lying helpless at the head of the rick
ETY. stairway, with blood flowing from her
mouth. She had fallen upon her face
and driven the sharper end of
the pen-holder into her throat.
She died in few moments. The
Coroner held an inquest this afternoon.
He determined that death was probably
caused by perforation of the CLOTHS and
consequent suffocation.. DR.. Magee, the
attending physician, was of the opinion
that either the pneumogastric or the
phrenic nerve had been penetrated, and
that death had been caused by paralysis of
the heart and lungs. He regards the case
as extraordinary.
