PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.-George w.
Childs. proprietor of the Public Ledger,
died this morning at 3:01 o'clock at his
residence at the southeast corner of
TWENTY second and alnut streets
from the effects of a stroke of para1y-
sis sustained by him on January Is.
Shortly before 10 o'clock last night
night Mr.. Childs' respiratio became
embarrassed and his pulse began to
flag. His PHYSICIANS recognized the
signs of approaching dissolution, and
although everything that medical
science and skill could do to prolong
life was done, Mr.. Childs sank rapidly,
and at SOL o'clock this morning the
generous heart that beat so kindly for
his fellow men was stilled in death.
In the death OF Mr. Childs Philadel

the city was most proud and the

hood Mr.. Childs' life was such that it
can stand as d model and example to

an honest, upright, conscientious life
of a poor and friendless boy in lit
tie position to be one of the great pub

in all walks of life, reads like a ro-

sibie Massacre


sibIe Massacre
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. g. Capt. Trefry,
Of the British ship Celeste Burri1,
which has arrived here from Luzon
islands, with a cargo of hemp and
sugar thinks that his vessel had a
narrow escape from being boarded by
pira tes in the Sunday straits, a stretch
of water formerly as famous for its
Malay freebooters as was ever the
Spanish main for its buccaneers
According to Capt. Trefry's story he
was beating up toward the Sunday
straits. When about sixty miles from
them he sighted a boat fl led with men.
At first he paid no attention to the boat
or its occupants. After the Burri1 had
passed New AMER, a Dutch military
settlement on the coast of Java, and
was well inside the straits the boat
pulled up rapidly on the slow moving
ship and finally as it pulled Up closer
to him he became suspicious.
The boat was crowded with sixty or
seventy Malays, and when man, who
seemed to be the leader of the party,
hailed the Burrill and asked if they
might come aboard. Capt Trefry shout
ed back a refusal, but said one man
might come on deck. The boat pulled
in alongside the ship and as soon as
the seeming leader Of the Malays had
grasped the rope and had started up
the ships side, Capt Trefry sheered off
from the boat The Malay pretended
that they wanted to sell fruit, but
Capt. Trefry doubted his story.
After remaining on board for some
time and the ship having cleared the
straits and reached the open sea, the
Malay started to his own boat and he
and his rough-loolsing companions dis
appeared among the islands.
