urday that no official information had
been received Of the reported seizure in

doubt is entertained of the correct

lating the revenue and custom laws of

The Charlotte Observer says: The lit
tie ~5-year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs. John
b. Taylor was found dead in their yard
Saturday morning at II o'clock. The
mother missed the child a short time be-
fore II, and went out to look for it. She
could lot find it anywhere, either at
home or at any Of the n~eighbors'. AS it
had been neal the stable with several
other children, Mrs. Taylor concluded to
look there for it. On approaching the
stable she saw the child lying face down
ward on a pile of hay, with one hand
under it, and the other across its back.
She called it, but received no answer
and on fastening to the spot, found to
her horror on raising the child that it
was dead. DR.. Charles McManaway was
summoned, and did everything he could
to resuscitate the child, but it was i'm
possible. 1t was dead. Its sudden death
could not be accounted for in any way,
as it was apparently perfectly well up to
the hour of its death, and had been at
play with the other children as usual
The case is a particularly distressing one.
