Drowned In Four Inches of Water.

While sitting on a bench where its mother had placed it while she was busy washing, the two year old child of Mathew Morgan, of Greenwood, Del., slipped and fell backward, striking its head on a tub, which was standing close by. When the mother returned from hanging clothes in the yard she was horrified to find the child dead inside the tub, which contained about four inches of water.
