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 Itch on human, mange wn horses, dogs and all stock, cured in 30 minutes by Woolford’s Sanitft'y Lotion.

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.
