The eight-year-old son of Henry Nc
Cabe, living on Pinch run, south Of
Bellaire, died very suddenly Sunday
evening His parents were called to
his bedside on account of his loud
breathing and found him in a COM
atose state. A physician was Called
but the child was beyond medical aid.
His death was caused by drinking al
most pint of whisky, which act was
done unknown to his parents. His
father had been in the city Saturday
and purchased a jug of whisky, taking
it home, and in some way the young
lad discovered it and drank to his con-
tent, and then retired to bed, to be
found in the condition above stated.
The funeral took place yesterday from
his fathers home.
The mention made in the evening pa
pers about the family of Jud Fish being
worried about his absence was without
much foundation, as Mr.. Fish is now
with his brother-in-law, of this city.
Mr.. Fish, until short time ago, lived
in Powhatan, but recently moved to
Toronto. and since that time lost his
son with typhoid fever and this with
his wife lying very low has caused him
much worry. but his friends have no
cause TO think that he will do anything
rash.

Senator-elect Frank B. Archer leaves
to-day for Columbus. The Senator says
he goes unpledged to any one, but will
use his utmost efforts for all candidates
in his district This district includes
the counties of Belmont, Jefferson, Har-
rison and Columbiana, representing
over 100000 people. Belmont county
alone is clamoring for enough places
for the whole district. and it is most
likely some will feel little sore when
they find there are eighty-seven other
counts in the State who also wish
some places. Mr.. Archer has held a
number of city offices and was county
treasurer for two terms, but the appli-
cants for places from four counties is
a proposition that will take time and
patience to make all smoothe without
offending a. number Of constituents.
