child of Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Fowle, OF
Kensington, Nd, who, with his little
two-vear-and a-half-old brother, was
burned 50 horribly in their home Thurs
dav night, died Saturday morning as a
result of his injuries, the other little
fellow having expired Friday. The
mother. who 50 bravely went to the res
cue of her little sons, is reported to be
in critical condition as result of her
burns, and it is feared that she, too, can
not recover. 1t is stated that after the
mother had rescued the two children
from the flames she went to the burning
room the second time, believing that
there was still another child in the room.
This prove not TO be true, however, as
all of the other children, three in num-
Der, were safe, and were being cared for
by friends and neighbors. Mrs. Fowle
is from this city. She was a Miss
Dorsey. Her mother was daughter
of James NJ. Mason. Mr.. Fowle, who is
also an Alexandrian, is brother-in-law
of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, the latter having

Charge Against an officer.

During the past forty-eight hours con-
siderable sensation has been 0ccasIoned
bv a report which has been rapidly cir
cnlated to the effect that well-known
member of the police force had been
guilty of gross and improper conduct
The complaint, it was alleged, had been
made by young colored woman. Lake
all such rumors, the matter grew anna z
ingly as it passed from mouth to mouth,
but the facts in the case when subjected
to a proper analysis presented an en-
tirely different phase. One NIGH
during the past summer a coiored man
seized young colored woman by the
hand while she was standing on the
old fair grounds, an entertainment being
in progress there at the time. The
woman had the man arrested, claiming
that he cut one of her wrists. When
the case was examined by the Mayor
the woman exhibited mere scratch
and as there was no evidence that the
man intended to hurt the woman, the
charge of malicious assault was dis'
missed. The officer who made the ar
rest on that occasion while off duty on
Friday afternoon went to the house
where the complainant lives and desired
to have a private interview with her,
he alleging that he made the cal
in connection with his bushes:
as a peliceman. The woman aver
that while with her the officer
conduct was of an extraordinary
nature. An application was made for
warrant for his arrest, but while the
matter was being examined and arrange
ments made for making the accused face
his accuser, note was brought by the
latter (signed by herself and husband)
in which the woman inquired how much
money would be paid provided the
charge against the officer we're quashed.
The officer positively denies the charge
made by the woman, whose evidence
is in a measure corroborated by her
brother who was in the house at the
time of the alleged misconduct. In the
face of the above no further action was
taken in the case so far as the woman
charge is concerned, but further in
yestigation will be made concerning
another charge against the officer and
should he be found guilty the Mayor
will, of course, take proper action.
