A Boy Seriously Scalded.

  Edmund S. Miller, the 2 1/2-year-old son of Rev. J. W. Miller, pastor 
of the Church of God, met with a very serious accident about 10 o'clock 
Saturday morning at his parents' residence, Fifth avenue and Thirteenth 
street.  Mrs. Miller had a bucket of boiling-hot water standing at the 
door of the basement of the house which was intended for up-stairs 
cleaning purposes.  The little fellow walked down stairs and passed the 
bucket, not observing it, and on stepping backward he slipped and fell 
into the scalding water, being badly burned from the middle of his body 
to the calves of his legs.  The skin all peeled off the portion of his 
body that was scalded, and for a time he suffered excruciating pain.  
Dr. S. M. Ross was called and applied the usual remedies to alleviate 
the pain and suffering in such cases, which had the effect to greatly 
soothe and ease the little fellow.
