Jury Finds That II Was Accidental.

A Coroners jury, before Coroner Scholer,
inquired yesterday into the death of Mrs
Madeline NJ. Calder on Feb. 10, OF burns
received in the Genera. Memorial Hospital,
at l08th street and Contra Park West
where she was about to undergo an opera
ton The case has been adjourned from
time to time at the request of counsel for
the persons Interested The jury decided
yesterday that the death was accidental,
and did not censure any one.
Mrs. Calder was the wife of John H. Cal
der, wealthy Broadway merchant. On
Feb. II she went to the hospital. On that
night Helen Smith. who was taking train
ing course in nursing in the hospital, was
directed to prepare Mrs Calder for the
operation by rubbing her body with mix
ture of alcohol and ether
Instead of following the hospital rule bv
using the electric lights while using the
fluids, Miss Smith worked by the light of a
candle placed in small glass. While she
was bending over the patient the volatile
alcohol and ether took fire and set fire to
the bedding. Mrs. Calder threw herself
out of bed, but her night clothing caught
fire and she was mortally burned before
the flames were extinguished. She died
five days later. Miss Smith was also burned,
and went soon afterward TO her home in
Canada.
Al the inquest yesterday an affidavit
from Miss Smith. who is still in Canada,
was admitted by the Coroner She alleged
that the accident was really occasioned
by Mrs. Calder, who swung her arms and
knocked the candle over. On the other
hand, an affidavit OF Sara Calder, an aunt
of the dead woman, which was also read to
the jury, alleged that her niece's death was
due to negligence on the part of Miss Smith.
Lawyer Thomas p Wickes appeared at
the inquest for Mr.. Calder Mr.. Wickes
declined 10 say whether or not it was pro-
posed by Mr.. Calder to bring suit against
the hospital authorities, whose institution

Paper Read Before the Ch1utduQud Circle.
The most encouraging sign for
the colored race in this country is
the dispassionate way in which the
matter is being discussed by the
leaders of opinion in the South
and in the North. To strip it of
prejudice, to review it with the de-
sire to do something to help the
negro, are really to furnish the So
luton of a problem which has been
intensely perplexing since the
close of the civil conflict in 1866
and which until very recently,
seemed just as far from being set
tied as when the race was freed
from bondage.
