The little one had not been well for several days, and it nnow seems probable that it had contracted pneumonia, and the mother had no idea it was so ill. On the way, it cried and fretted, but before reaching Midway it grew calm, and the mother thought her babe had fallen asleep. Not until she had reached the warm room and removed the wrappings from the little dead face did she suspect the awful truth. Today the two little ones lie side by side in the chamber of death. The minister will pronounce the funeral service over them together, and at 2 o’clock they will be taken to Mt. Pisgah cemetery and laid in one grave.

Mr. Parrott is as much in the dark as anyone else concerning the cause of the shooting, and the only information he can contribute is that his wife burned a letter a short time before he left the house.

Rice of Boston went mad in the National hotel yesterday morning, and darting out of his room ran screaming through the hallways, crying, “save me, save me.” He screamed and cried at the top of his voice, dashed at the doors, and made a vain endeavor to open them. In a few moments everybody in the house was awake, doors opened and heads protruded, but the doors closed and the heads disappeared as soon as Rice happened to charge in that direction. Several men, including J.C. Frazer and I. Blizard, followed the man to his room, where he stood before a mirror screaming. Blizard talked to him, and endeavored to pacify the man, but he made a break for the hallway, fighting and crying at the top of his voice. He charged a small group of men in the corridor, who in self protection, were compelled to overpower him, and hold him on the floor. It required the combined strength of five men to hold him. He struggled fiercely for liberty and then suddenly ceased. Within five minutes he was dead. Death was probably caused by congestion of the brain, due to the great excitement under which he labored. Nothing is known of the antecedents of the man. He registered at the National Sunday, was quiet, attracted but little attention. Wednesday night about 5 o’clock he entered the elevator, seemingly in distress, and went to his room, where he remained until 5:30 yesterday morning, when he aroused the house. His bed had not been occupied at all, and it is probable that he remained in the room all night crouching in fear of an imaginary foe. His mania was most acute, and toward the last he attempted to bite all who came near him. The coroner was summoned and the body removed. When the coroner made a search of the dead man’s effects, he discovered about a dozen cocaine bottles, and three hypodermic syringes.

Apr 26, 1898: (The following is excerpted from a much longer article in this edition.) The bodies of Jones and Foster, the two men who were at work at the time the fire broke out, were found at the breast of the drift. They had not suffered. The air drawn upward for the flames had exhausted the oxygen very suddenly, and they fell down and expired with their tools at their side. They had not moved from the spot where they were working. The body of W.H. Pine, the superintendent, who went down the shaft to try to find the two men, was found hanging on the ladder, where he had been overcome by gas. His feet had caught in the rungs of the ladder as he fell over backward, and he was hanging by the feet, head downward.
