named Yinia Wilson was discovered
laying in an alley, by. some Of the
poIicemenI apparently quite i'll. Her
conduct was Of Suspicious ,charac-
Ter, and en- being urged to state the
reason of her being there, she adj
mitted that "a child had been born to
her and that she had thrown it'into a
sink on Walnut Street, between Third
and Fourth Streets. On going to
that place, the cries Of the child were
distinctly heard and, after some de-
lay, it was rescued, but died soon
after. The unnatural mother was ar
rested and lodged in the city prison.
The matter viii undergo a legal in
yestigation to-day, The girl had
been living as a servant with
a gentleman In the city, and on
Saturday morning awakened the fam
lily, stating that she was i'll, and asked
to be CONDUCTED to the house where

house she was employed as a servant,
conducted her to the door where the
eolored people lived, and there LETT
her knocking for admittance. If We
