The many friends in lSland Pond OF Dr.
A. W. Tracy of West Meriden, Conn, are
pained and saddened to learn of the death
of his daughter Mollie which occurred
on the I'd inst. Many here will share III
his great sorrow, and sympathlze with
him in this last and browning affection,
for the death of Mollie leaves void in
the hearts OF relatives and friends which
can never be filled. We take the follow
ing report of the sad event from the
Meriden Daily Journal OF the I'd inst:
Mollie the thirteen-years-old daughter OF
DIR. A. w. Tracy, died about O'Clock this
morning at her home on Liberty street, after
one weeks illness with peritonitis.
Up to Z o'clock last night it was supposed
that she was on the road to rapid recovery,
but at that time decided change for the
worse set in and ended in her death early
! this morning.
The announcements of the last day or two
have been of such an encouraging nature re-
| garding the child's condition that the news
| this morning of her death was great shock
| to the many friends of the bereaved family.
The fatal relapse was due to the perfora-
ton of the intestnes. weakened by the IN
fammation of the past week. For one OF her
| wears the sufferer showed wonderful forth

skill could do to save her life was done. DTS.
