MRS. BROWN AND HER GILL
DREN RECOVERING.

Intelligence received in this city to-
day from Portsmouth states that Mrs
w. A. Brown Is improving and that nc
Favorable symptoms have set in. The
Norfolk Ledger says:
Attending physicians Of the wife o.
Rev. William Ambrose Brown, who
Saturday administered carbollc acid tt
her two infant children and then drank
of the poison herself, say that while MIRA
Brown is not yet out Of danger her Inn
proyement has been such with no COM
plications the danger point will have
passed 10 the next few days. 1t is an
nounced from Portsmouth that the
children, will both recover.
No statement from Mrs. Brown has
been given out since she admitted hav-
ing sdmini.t red the poison to the chill
dren and herself. There is no doubt of the
fact that Mrs. Brown was temporarily
unbalanced when she committed The
awful deed. She had been extremely ner-
yous for a week and her condition
reached II climax on Saturday. Though
buraed on the neck, arm and breast by
the acid, William, the 3-year-old son,
Is rapidly recovering from the asful ex'
perlence. The eight-months-old infant,
Mary, who WIS thought to be dying
when oxygen was administered, has shown
rapid improvement, and is today con-
sidered out OF danger.
