Milton, the siX-year-old son of W. W.
Cuthbert, who resides on NJ street, near
Seventh, nearly lost his life yesterday
through an accident that should never
have been made possible.
While playing on the sidewalk at the
corner of the street he slipped and fell
upon the iron grating across the sewer
man-hole. The grating was not secure,
and the child was precipitated into the
hole, which was filled with the rankest
kind of sewage.
Mrs. j. Henry Miller, who lives near
by, ran TO the spot and succeeded in
grasping the child before it had time to
smother, and held it until some workmen
arrived and rescued it from the awful
death that was threatened.
The boy was a shocking sight when
taken out, and the stencil given off by
the foul matter which saturated his
clothing was almost enough to asphyxi-
