FELL INTO BOILING WATER.
Another Little Child Meets Death
from Hot Water ScnIds.

Another little innocent yesterday
met death from hot water sCalds, the
manner of the accident b aing much
similar to that which caused the death
OF the little Winters girl in Dunmore
last Friday.
This latest victim is Eva LEWIS,
aged years and eleN en- months, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Lewis, of
2017 Margaret avenue. Saturday about
3 o'clock p. m. the little child with her
older sister was playing about the
mouse. On the floor in the kitchen was
a tub of hot water, prepared for the
fathers bath when he would return
from his work in the mine.
In romping about the tub the little
one stumbled, and before the older sis
ter could grasp her, she tumbled back
wards into the steaming water. Her
back and sides were badly scalded, and
despite the strenuous efforts of DIR.
w. d. Donne she passed away at 8
o'clock yesterday morning, after six
teen hours of the greatest suffering.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row afternoon at 2.30 o'clock from the
family residence. lnterment will be
made in Washburn street cemetery.

GRADY WAS BADLY USED
lie Had an Alteration with the Barten.
der OF the White House, with
Serious Results.

Excitement ran high for about an
hour around the corner of Penn and
Lackawanna avenues Saturday at mid
night.
A drunken man. who gave his name
as James Grady and his residence,
Priceburg, got into trouble with the
bartender at the White House, l.. j.
Phalen, and was bounced bodily and in
no gentle manner. Not satisfied with
knocking the unfortunate drink para
lyzed fellow TO the sidewalk, the bar
tender fell upon him when he was down
and brutallv thumped his already
loOd-beSmeared face. The crowd
which was attracted by the cries of
the victim drove the assailant to cover.
Two policemen came along and pick
ing up Grady took him to the station
house
Those who witnessed the assault were
highly indignant at the outrage. Had
Phalen put in an appearance 1t would
have gone pretty hard with him.
The departure of the two policemen
with Grady left the locality unprotect-
ed. There are two sides to every Ques-
tion and the unrlghteousness of the
bartenders act was no exception. A
COlOred man espOused the cause of the
bartender and as might be expected in
that excited crowd he was doing a very
indisCreet thing. Every second man
wanted to get a thump at him, but
after much jabbering and wrangling
a compromise was effected whereby the
bartender's champion was to argue it
out with a stalwart young man from
the South Side.
A ring was formed and for fully fif-
teen minutes the two Combatants pum-
melled each other in lively fashion.
The colored man was getting the worst
of it and companion of his, unable
to contain himself longer, lnterfered.
Just then, as a general melee was i'm
| mnent, Patrolman Neuls hurried up
from an adjoining beat and caused a
cessation of hostillties. Grabbing the
colored man, the officer with drawn
club backed his way out of the crowd
| and marched off towards the station
house.
The appearance of the two patrolmen
returning from the station house, where
| they had deposited Grady, caused the
| mob to scatter and in a very short
| time there was nothing left to tell the
tale of turbulence except blood-be-
| spattered asphalt here and there.

BURKE SERVED NOTICE.
At one of the meetings last week c.
@. Boland, while delivering an address,
solemnly assured his hearers that
Schadt was loyal to Burke, as he had
always been to every Democratic can
didate. He knew this personally, he
said, for he served on the county COM
mlttee q year ago with Schadt during
the campaign when Burke was a cam
didate.
This statement came to the ears OF
Burke and he went to see Boland.
Now, Chrlsty." he said, you know
you didn't tell the truth when you said
that Schadt was faithful to me and you
know that 1 know you did not. If you
tell any more of that kind of stun to
the people I'm going to attend your
meetings and sit right in the front
row and when you tell about Schadts &
spotless political character and how
he befriended me. I'll have something
to say that / think the people will
listen to-"
surely you wouldn't do that" gasped
Boland.
You tell any more of your yarns
and see if l don't" retorted Burke.
Boland now leaves Schadt and Burke
severely alone when he talks.
