A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Little Son of Prof. Balm Killed b,

A Little Son of Prof: Balm Killed BY
Falling Bricks.
Little Henry Balm, the 5.year.old
son OF Prof. and Mrs. G. ". Balm of
the South Carolina college, was found
lying bleeding Ia the yard at his home
Friday morning Of last week with a
frightful wound In the back Of his
head. His skull had been fractured,
he had lost a large quantity Of blood
and was insensible when found. He
was removed by loving hands, doctors
we're hastily summoned and all that
tender care and medical science could
DO was bestowed upon him, but the
little fellow hovered between life and
death until $50 O'Clock Friday night
when he died without having regained
consciousness He went out Into the
yard only short time before the ac-
cident. A servant Of Prof. Andrew
o. Moore, who lives next door, was
passing not many minutes after and
found the almost lifeiess body on the
steps leading into the yard at the side
OF the house. Mr.. John Taylor, who
was visiting at the residence of Prof.
Moore, was the first person to arrive
at tha side OF the injured child, and
1t was he who carried him upstairs.
There Is no doubt that the little
fellow was struck by falling bricks,
pushed from the .rapct above by the
branch OF a tree growing near the
house. This branch rests upln the
brick work, and the motion caused by
the unusually high wind prevailing at
the time had torn these bricks from
the walt and pushed them off. Three
bricks were found on the spot below
and an investigation showed that
three were missing from above. The
limb was SCARED by rubbing against
the bricks.
Telephone messages soon brought
DIS. Taylor, DuBose, Griffith and
Fishhurne. They discovered frao.
turei in the back Of the head and saw
thatti >ybone was pressing against

The Wound was not then regarded as
necessarily fatal and any operation
was deferred until later. Prepara-
tionswere made in the afternoon to
remove the patient to the Columbia
hospital for the operation. He began
to grow weaker, howe yer, and the
doctors decided to operate at the
home. He grew weaker and weaker
as the night came on and before the
operation could he performed had
passed away.-The State.

Washington, Nov. is. Attorney
General Moody made q statement
with reference to the pleas In bar
filed by the defendants in the indict-
ment against the beef packers pend
Ing in the district court at Chicago.
The statement says:
Ten separate pleas In bar have been
fled, each one o. them alleging facts
which It Is claimed ought to bar the
government from proceeding furthei'
in this case. Eight are based upon
the alleged conduct Of Mr.. Garfield In
making the investigation Of the af-
fairs Of the defendants in pursuance
Of the authority conferred on him by
law.
The attorney general asserts in the
most positive terms that none Of the
information obtained by Mr.. Garfield
was used before the grand jury and
further says that he is informed by
Mr.. Garfield, and believes, that at Ger.
tain stages Of the investigation the
defendants declined to give informa-
ton unless they were put in a posi-
ton to obtain the immunity provided
by the act of congress and required
by the constitution Of the United
States and that when such instances
occurred, acting after conference with
the attorney general, Mr.. Garfield re-
Trained from pursuing the inquiry fur

obtain information, documentary OF
otherwise, along these lines.

Weapons.

A9 Chicago, Nov. Is. Funds Tor the
purchase Of arms and ammunition by
the revolutionary committee at St
Petersburg were collected here at q
meeting Of the revolutionary society
OF Russian Jews. The meeting was
decidedly dramatic. One minute the
audience would be moved to tears by
descriptions by the speakers Of the
recent atrocities and the next moment
reused to the highest pitch OF fury.
One Of the speakers seemed to ex.
press the sentiment Of the audience
when he declared:
1T Is idle to collect funds for the
widows and orphans when the gov
eminent agents are seeing to 1t that
there are no widows and orphans left.
We must collect funds for battle as
this is the moment for armed resist
ance and not for idle weeping"
Less than $500 was subscribed to
the cause, but another meeting will
be held for the purpose Of raising
more funds and an attempt will be
made by the leaders of the move
ment to divert a portion of the gen.
eral fund raised to aid Jewish dis
tress to the fund for arming the Jews
OF Russia for self defense.
Contributions to the relief fund be-
ing collected in Chicago amounted to
over $4,000, which brings the total
contributions to the general fund In
this city up to nearly $4,000.
