tuberculosis.

Vice-President Richards presided over a
large meeting of the Chamber of Con-
merce last night, in the absence of the
President, Judge Womack. Several mat
tiers of public interest were discussed.
Prof. w. A. Withers introduced a resolu-
tion looking to the prevention of tubercu-
losis or consumption, and he made some
statements about the ravages of that dread
disease that surprised those present. He
quoted from the report of the Health De-
partment of the city, which showed that
in February, 1901, one-eleventh of the
deaths in Raleigh were due to consump-
ton or tuberculosis; in February, 1902,
the number had increased to ninth;
in 1903, the number had increased to one
sixth.
Prof. Withers quoted from the recon-
mendations of the Health office and said
that it was important, at least that the
general public should understand the ma
ture of the disease and be able to prevent
its spread. With reference to the marked
increase in the deaths from consumption,
Mr. J. N Holding, said it was not due to
Raleigh as much as it might appear-that
he knew two deaths of widows who were

DEED OF A DEVIL
Neuro Drenches His Baby
With Acid.
The ChiId's Life Ends in Torment, Acid
Running Out of its Mouth
and Burning Even its
Clothes.
(snecial to News and Observer

Wilmington. N. c., Feb. 9.-Burning
with fiendish device to prosecute his
wife with whom he had quarrelled inter
mittently for year or more, wan NC
Koy. \ Young negro, employed at the Ma
vassa guano factory, came home Satur-
dav night, lifted his only child. three
months old, from its crib and literally
dranched it from pint flask of powerful
acid used in the manufacture of fertiliz-
ers where the negro worked. The child
died in great agony within three hours,
and the inhuman wretch of father made
good his escape. The poisoning took
place before the very eyes of the mother,
who had escaped to an adjoining room to
avoid her husbands wrath. Seeing the
acid running out of the child's mouth on
its body and burning the clothes about
it, the mother snatched the infant, from
its fathers arm and hurried with 1t to
the office Of a physician, but 1t was too
late. The baby had swallowed much OF
the fiery liquid and it's body had been
badly burned where the clothing was sat
urated. The matter was kept qulet by
the police in an effort to capture the ne
gro, but the facts became known when
coroner's inquest was held yesterday and
the case came to the attention of the Su-
perior Court today. A true bill for muir
der in the first degree was found by the
grand jury and bench warrant was is
sued by Judge Ferguson, but the negro
has evidently fled. He is said to have
gone to Rowland, N. c., where he former
ly lived. His deed IN poisoning the child
is said to be the execution of threat he
had been often heard to make within the
past few weeks, and the bringing of the
acid from mills in carefully sealed flask
furnishes abundant proof Of premedita-
tion. The negro on his flight is reported
to have said that his only regret was that
he did not give his wife dose of the
same medicine
