The Academy Of Music was the rem
devious OF RichmOnds cultured set last
evening. and, despite incemeut wel-
ther. the representation OF these was
a large one. when Professor Edward 5.
Morse, Of Boston. opened his discourse
uron Insect Life last evening.
Professor Morse confined his talk al
most wholly 20 American insect life, and
in his forty-mlnute speech evinced IN
insight most profound 10 his subject.
The larger part of the lecture was de-
voted To the ant kingdom, and the
habits and evident intelligence Of the
harvesting" ant the banner and
other species of this remarkable insect
were treated with profound consldera-
ton and discoursed upon learnedly.
The Professor had evidently travelled
10 great extent. and he told from per-
soral experience and investigation
throughout the breadth of the country.
The Professor threw tradition 10 ne
winds at times, and proved himself not
without humor. the audience beinS
ouick TO appreciate, and many were the
rounds OF laughter which greeted the
eminent naturalist's saIlies.
Some dissatisfaction was created
through the fact that admittance 10

A distressing accident occurred on sun

Mr.. and Mrs. John r. Williams No. lib

child. RAYMOND, was the victim OF
kerosene lamp which was overturned.
The little fellow was so badly burned
that he died at an early hour yesterday
An alarm from Box 80 was responded 70
promptly by the department.
HOW IT OCCURRED.
The flames were found to be gaining
Roadway in a bedroom in the Williams
home. and they were extinguished In
short order by tine iremen. but not until
they had cost the life Of the child.
The Williams children. OF which there
were five. had just gone up TO their
room 10 retire and were INDUCING In a
childish romp.
Little Ethel Williams had climbed upon
a centre table whereon stood the lighted
lamp. She suddenly jumped down. carry
ing with her the table cover and the
fatal lamp. which dashed TO the floor and
scattered the burning oil in all directions.
The clothing Of one Of the children
caught fire and the others. with pres
ence of mind remarkable for their years,
endeavored to extlnguish the blaze.
RESCUED HIS SISTER.
Their screams brought the rest Of the
household and with their aid and the
service Of the department the fire was
put out. 4
Little Raymond was an especially active
member in the rescue Of his little sister.
and il IS thought, through his excite
ment. he failed to notice the fact that his
own clothing had caught fire. His mother.
too. did not notice II for some time. and
