Boldly Attact and devour a Baby’s
Remains. The
'UNCONSCIOUS MOTHER
Recovers and tells a most Hori
tying Story of her Midnight
Battle with the Hungry
Rodents. She is in a
Critical Condition
Baltimore, Md., Nov., 28.—Lash
Friday night Eunice Thompson
gave birth to a child in a hovel in
South Bwltimore. The, woman has
had no medical attention, and was
even without a fire.
It was bitter cold Saturday night,
and the child died from exposure.
The mother was nearly helpless
from suffering and starvation and
too weak to move from her bed.
Then came a new horror.
Large rats came from a neigh
boring stable, and, made bold by
the woman’s weakness, ran over
the bed and tried to get at the
body of thechild. The woman had
a piece of wood, with which she
managed to beat them off.
She watched over her dead child
all Saturday night. Last night the
rats came again. She beat them
off until midnight, when nature
could endure no more, and she be
came unconscious.
This morinngshe recovered her
consciousness, and crawled to the
door, where she waited her chance
to make her condition known.
Coroner Geor found that the child’s
body had been partially devoured
by the rats, and the mother’s con
dition was critical

kins were passed as deacons from
the third year to the fourth. All
made good reports of their works.
Rev. Sanford Leake was placed
on the supernumerary list.
Report of the Board of missions
h“f»rd. Report adopted.
Report from the Board of col
portage, Report adopted.
A collection was taken up to fin
ish paying for the iecord books,
’stationary, etc., used by the Con
ference. A neat sum was realized.
Report from the Committee on
Board of Education was read. It
reported the different Colleges un
der the charge of the Conference,
as being, as a whole, in a fairly
prosperous condition.
The appointments were not ful
ly made up, and could not be read
this morning. They will be read
this afternoon or to night. This is
the question upon which a great
interest centers. It is the general
opinion that Dr. Gibson will be
returned to the First Church here.
PERSENAL MENTION.
Dr. Wai ker Lewis asked to be
excused from the confernce this
morning oh the plea of an import
ant pastoral charge. Dr, Lewis is
a clever genial gentleman, and one
of the ablest preachers in the con
ference the last year he has served
Trinity church in Atlanta.
Rumor says that an exceeding
ly popular young minister of Rome
who has been admitted to the
conference, and who will very
probably be transferred to the Ai
kansas conference, will not go a
lone. The rumor says that a very
handsome and well known young
lady i« not willing to accompany
him as his wife to assisit iu his
ministerial labor.
The sad news of Bishop Hay
good’s illnes s was announced by
Dr. Candler this morning. The
Rishod is quite sick, but nothing
serious so tar . The news was heard
with universal reget. as no man is
more beloved by every one than
Bishop Haygood.
