Rescued With Difficulty.
All Three Were Precpiiatsd Into Water by
The Breaking Of the Ice.
ERNEST AND HENRY MADE WAY OUT.

Theodore Carpenter, IL years Of age,
ran blenders" 10 his death yesterday
afternoon on a small swamp pond at
the foot OF Atwood street, in the Olney-
vile district. He was engaged in the
hazardous sport with his brothers,
Henry and Ernest, when the ice broke
and all three went into the icy water
and were swept under the large cakes
by the swift current of a brook that
was swollen with recent melted snow
and rain.
The boys two brothers tried TO save
him. and leaning over the edge OF the
break each grasped a hand of the chill
ed and terror stricken boy but the re-
suit was that his struggles dragged his
two would-be rescuers into the hole
and all three went down into the
muddy water. Their cries were heard,
and young man, named Lawrence
Mooney, ran to the pond and hauled out
two OF the children, Henry and Ernest.
TO the edge OF the hole. and boy
named Napoleon Demorest aided in
getting them out Of the water. They
were chilled and in state Of collapse
and were at once borne To the home
OF their parents at 81 Atwood street.
Charles Rocket then went into the
water and finally succeeded in grasp
ing hold OF Theodore, and after some
difficulty in reaching the shore, the boy
was taken hurr.edly to the home of his
father, James ID. Carpenter. an invalid
veteran of the civil war. Medical Ex-
aminer Longfellow was summoned, and
he found Theodore was dead. The two
other children We're cared for under in
structions given by DIR. Longfellow.
Mrs. Carpenter, who has been also in
poor health for about four years is ut
terly prostrated by the terrible mis-
fortune. and it is said that the family
is i'm sore need of assistance as neither
the father or mother are able 10 work.
There were six children in the fam
lily. and the oldest, twins, are unfor-
tunate and incapable of doing much.
One out of the six earns four dollars a
week. The one that was drowned, al
though he was only 12 years old. was
the only other one who was capable of
contributing i'm any appreciable meas
ure to the support of the large fam
lily.

The defendants counsel takes the

apparent a moderate demand developed,
carrying values to points higher than
