A CORRECTION.
N. A. Nelson Emphatically Denies Ger
tain Reports Concerning His Child.

N. A. Nelson Emphatica11y Denies Ger
tain Reports Concerning His Child.
N A. Nelson, father of Myrtle Nell
son, an infant who died d day or two
ago in the western portion of the city,
called at the Standard office yesterday
to correct certain reports which have
become current by publication and 9TH
erwise about the death of the child. The
reports were to the effect that Mrs. Nell
son is an irresponsible person to have
charge of child, and that it were pos
sible that the child may have been
snlothered to death by her mother No
official notice was taken of the report
by either the coroner or any other Off
Ger and the little ones body was buried
on Friday, the funeral being largely
attended Mr.. Nelson makes the fol-
lowing statement concerning the re-
ports:
1.-THE report is malicious SANDER
emanating originally from certain
neighbors who had not been to the Mel
son residence nor seen the child, and
who We're only venting their venomous
spleen to crafty a heartless, diabolical
hatred. The report that Mrs. Nelson
is irresponsible and subject to- fits is
wholly untrue. She has been epileptic,
but has not had an attack of this mall
aady for nearly a year. AS to smother
ing the child, she never occupied the
same bed with 1T, but kept it in a crib,
and upon the night of it's death Mrs.
Nelson had not slept, but remained on
watch the entire night. When she
found the child growing cold she did
not realize that it was already dead,
and taking it in her arms she drew near
the stove in a vain endeavor to warm
it's lfeless body and in this position
was found by her mother, Mrs Ed
wards.
The child was not thought to be seri-
ously ill., hence no doctor was called.
Since this scurrilous report has become
current it is my right to demand a cor
rection. The bereavement is hard
hard enough to bear without having
insult added to injury.
THE report has created an immense
amount of neighborhood talk, thereby
doubling our aff1iction and adding to
our cup of sorrow, already full to over
flowing. N. A. NELSON"

Raleigh, Sept. 30.-A special
to the The News and Observer
from Winton, n. c., says: Mask
ed parties broke into the county
Jail at Wlnton, Hertford county,
last night, and shot Robert
Vaughan, under suspicion of barn
burning. The doors were broken
down and the prisoner was shot
at least three times. He was
committed several weeks ago by
Justice of the peace under cir
cumstantial evidence. The pris-
oner was in an iron cell. The
act is greatly deplored. Vaughan
will probably die.

that Mr.. Hastings is not as yet the best
of all our actors of American charac-
ter. But his personation is rich with
atmosphere, reserve and poignant sug-
gestion, and it is sturdy tribute to this
players versatility. Now that Mr..
Hastings is leaving us for wider field
and with every prospect of success, it
is quite in the irony of things that we
should commence to appreciate HIM.
Anyway he leaves an enviable record
and takes with him lot of valuable
