HEROIC REMEDY FOR FITS.

4 • Child Pot In a Fan or Water and Kept on n Store Until Almost Cooked. A shooking affair has just como to light at Petcrboro, Ont. About two weeks ago a two-year-old child was attacked with fits. While In a fit the old-fashioned remedy of putting the ohihi into a pun of warm water was tried. Tlio wiiter was not sufficiently warm, so tho lid was removed from the stove and the pan, with the child in It, was placed on K. The child writhed In agony, but the woman in attendance deeming it the result of the fit, paid no attention. Finally the pan was removed' and when the ohtld was taken out of It the skin and flesh peeled rff its body In large pieces. The child died soon after. The authorities are investigating the case. Pennsylvania Democrats on the 3d ohoered the name of Cleveland, and nominated Robert E. Wright for Auditor and A. L. Tllden for Treasurer. The platform favors tariff reform, butts devoted almost wholly to State affaire.
