DEATH OF A CHILD.


At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Chapmen, on Jeffrey street. Thursday
night, occurred the death of the infant
child of Frank Lestenator.
The case is especially sad, as Mr.. Les
tenator lost his wife by terrible acci-
dent less than a month ago. The child
was in its mothers arms at the time she
was struck by the cars at the head Of
No. plane. 1t was thought that the
child was uhinjured at the time, but it
must have been hurt internally, as 1t
has never been well since the time.
The fact that it was deprived of its
mother at such tender age made it
more hard for the willing friends to
care for it. The immediate cause of the
child's death was cholera infantum.

Presbyterian church, after which the
remains were taken to Wayne county
