CHILD FATALLY BURNED.
PROBABLY CAUSED BY PLAYING
WITH MATCHES DURING HER
MOTHERS ABSENCE.
Little Four-year-Old Dora Gold Was
the Vfctim-Ran Into the Yard
with Her Clothing in Flames, and
When Assistance Came it Was Pro-
badly Too Late.

Little Dora, the f~our-year-old daugh-
ter of Sam Gold, vas fatally burned
about three o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The family live in a house at the inter-
section of Alley c., and Alley Z. 1t ap-
pears that Mrs. Gold was out of the
house, and her children, aged 4 and 2
years respectively, were alone. How
the child's clothing took fire cannot be
told, as the little sufferer was uncon-
scious after the ACCIDENT. 1t is proba-
BILE, however, that she was playing with
| matches. 1t is said that a neighbor
woman heard the children striking
matches on Thursday, while their moth
er was away, and warned Mrs. Gold of
the danger.
Chas. Sylvis, w. & E. G. conductor
lives on Chapline street, across Alley7.
His wife was looking out of a rear Win
dow, and saw the little girl standing in
the yard with her clothing in flames.
She told Mrs. Sylvis, who snatched a
comfort, ran over to the unfortunate
child and threw it about her. Two boys
had been standing by the girl trying to
pull the burning clothing from her.
She was carried into the house, and the
bed was found to be on fire also. The
child was then taken to the home of
JOS. Meyer, and DR.. L. D. Wilson was
summoned.
On examination revealed the fact that
the child's body from the waist down
was literally cooked, and the arms and
hands were badly burned. The face
and head was ODIv Coorcbod Tho nhV-
stefan last night entertained no hope
for the child's recovery, and death end
its sufferings at nine o'clock.

The Tiltonsville pottery has had a
rather c~heckered career. 1t was built
about 1884 or 1885, and was started on
the cooperative plan, manufacturing
a line of Rockingham and yellow ware.
i The cooperative company failed, and
the plant was sold. Some time later
1t was started in operation in the man
ufacture of sanitary ware, but this
venture appears to have also proven
Improbable.

1t will be gratifying news to the peo-.
pie of Wheeling, that the movement
Cor a new theater building here gives
every promise of being successful.
While 1t is in no sense a Board or
Trade movement, 1t Is the outgrowth
of that organization, as are many other
movements for the advancement and
Improvement of the city. The pro-
jectors found in their canvass for sub
scriptions to the proposed joint stock
that an unfortunate misap-
prehension was prevalent in connec-
Won with the project. 1t was the
opinion of many persons that the
architect, plans and site have already
been agreed upon. AS a matter OF
course, this caused opposition in some
quarters.
The selection Of a site for the pro-
posed structure, as well as the selection
of plans for the building, are matters
which must DE determined by the
Joint stock company, and not by the
committee or others. The rough plans
for the building on the old Ii
house property, were prepared in orde"
that the gentlemen OF the committee
might have something tangible upon
which to base their canvass for sub
scriptions.
Messrs. Stone, L~aughlin and House
were at work all day yesterday, and
last night Mr.. Stone stated that $4,000
of the desired 100000 had been sub
scribed, and he anticipated no difficulty
in securing the remainder to-day or
Monday. He felt perfectly safe, in
view of the subscriptions already Sc
cured and the promises given, in giving
the assurance that the new theater
will be built. 1t is the intention to
raise $50, 900 in cash, and to issue $780,
900 in bonds, it being estimated that
the site and building will cost about
S150, 900.

the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
Rhode Island Rev. Emory H. Porter,
rector of the church, will assist.
This church received $4,000 from
the father and uncle of the baby. The
child, through the death of its father,
John Nicholas Brown, on May l be-
came heir to $6,OOO,0OO. The child's
uncle, Harold Brown, died few weeks
later from the shock of hearing of his
brothers death. He left a large part
of his estate to the little pink and
white bundle of humanity.

Washington, June 15.-The indus
trial commission has decided to enter
upon an inquiry into domestic and
household service and it's relations to
employment and other industrial
aspects and has named Miss
Gail Laughlin of New York city,
to conduct the investigation
Miss Laughlin is graduate of

planned the recent strike in his order

citation. He said the strike was over

stated that after next May the daily
period of labor would be reduced to
nine hours. He said also that the Or
ganization had doubled it's member
ship within the past year, now num-
bering $4,000.
