more or less to her carelessness in leav
ing the iron in the window she fel

removed. regained his senses and is nov
in fair way to recovery. None of th'

The Blanchester Star tells of two ladies
who got off west bound B. & o. train,
last week. They went to the Sherman
House and summoned DR.. N. B. Van
Winkle. Soon q baby boy was born.
The mother got along finely for couple
OF days, when, the Star says, she was
suddenly stricken with heart disease,
her death following about 7:3O. Against
the advice OF both her mother and Mrs.
Trickey, the patient got out of bed,
dressed and walked, for time, around
the upper part Of the house during Wed.
nesday afternoon. and when her supper
was served, ate heartily. Those indis.
cretions, no doubt. brought about heart
failure and death. Up to that time the
women steadily refused to divulge their
names and place of residence, but it was
then learned that their name was Clark
and Parkersburg their home. The father
OF the deceased is an employe of the B.
4 o. s. w. Railway at Petersburg. The
woman was unmarried. aud on her way
to Cincinnati, where she expected ia
enter the Sisters Hospital and be con
fined and thus hide her disgrace from
The world. The babe was sent to the
Catholic Foundlings' Home in Cincin
natl to be cared for.
