A CHILD SHOT.
The vicinity of WoodstOwn has been
stirred the past week with the sad
shooting accident of Elsie the s year
~old-daugbter of John G. Borton, at the
residence of Edwin W. Lippincott, by
his 6 year. old son Eddie. Last Satur-
day morning Mrs. Annie Lippiucott
went into town in a carriage and took
a load of children out to the farm to
spend the day with her little daughter,
Myra. The children had a delightful
day and a good time at play. but two
or three times during the afternoon
little Eddie would tell them he was 60
ing to shoot them, but nothing was
thought of it any more than idle, child
ish prattle, for lie only 6 years of age.
Just before sunset, as all the children
were OH the lawn just beyond the piaz.

baby hands the dangerous weapon,
which had been loaded for row and
left cooked. lie tugged at it until the

manner the gun was discharged, the
contents of both barrels being emptied,
one into the frail body of little Swear
| old Elsie BOrtOn, daughter OF John G.
and Alice Borton, Of WOodstown, and
the other striking the left side OF her
head. A large hole IA blown in the
left side OF the child, and her heart was
shot completely out. Several Of Elsie's
comparisons, who were standing beside
her when shot, were covered with
blood. Little Eddie, realizing that he
had done something dreadful. during
the excitement which followed, ran
away and hid. A search was made for
him, but it was not until midnight that
he vas found In the house, hid
beneath a pile of wood.
The funeral Of Elsie on Tuesday was
one of the largest ever in Woodstown.
Mrs. Lippincott, mother Of the boy who
did the deed, tainted during the SER
vices and medical aid had TO be sum-
moned.
Young Lippincott seems TO he In a
dazed condition and when questioned
can only reply that he never touched
the gun before, and didn't know it was
loaded. The parents of the dead girl,
both prominent members OF the Socie-
ty of Friends, attach no blame to
any one and no official inquiry will be
made.

difficulties could 10 overcome the dsu-
ger Of a search and discovery Of the
dispatch was great.
Many Of the messengers made incisions
in the skin aud hid a dispatch under rhe
| epidcrmis. Others provided themselves
with hollow ten ceniime pieces or hol-
/ low keys, which could be opened like "a
box and IN which dispatches could he

I Attempts were made 20 cross the
enemys lines by following the caves and
natural tunnels under the left branch Of
the Seine, and by diving aud crossing
the bed of the river in diving suits, hui
these plans failed,
A curious scheme was the putting OF
letters into little hollow spheres of zinc
and throwing these spheres into che
Seine or its tributaries, hoping that they
would float 10 Paris. They did float O,
