A Baby's Strange Travels.

Yesterday quite an excitement was created
on Capitol Hill, near Sixth and A streets
northeast, by the sudden disappearance of
baby eight months old, the child of Mr.. and
Ms. Allen Lcrch. II appears that an eccen-
trio fellow by the name Of John Robert
("Bob'') Hcrrell, who has been on q drunken
Gpree for some time past, took II into his head
TO abduct the baby. He picked the child I'M,
il having on no clothing but a little gown,
without hat or bonnet, took ii away about
three o'clock p. M, visited several saloons on
the Hill, then meandered down town to Ninth
street by the market, took in all the beer sa-
looms there, the baby In the meanwhile lying
across his shoulders, yelling itself hoarse. Then
he made bee-line for the Smithsonian
grounds, drunk as lunatic, followed by u
crowd Of boys. II being music day by the Ma
rine Band, he attended, creating great deal
of excitement and sympathy for the poor lit
tic frightened baby with its head uncovered
and unprotected from the broling sun. After
ward he staggered across on B street, opposite
the Smithsonian, between Tenth and Eleventh
streets, where he was discovered by Captain
Josiah Lerch, an cN-sca captain, and uncle Of
the father Of the child, and the poor little
thing was taken in and cared for; but its face
was literally speckled and burnt by the sun,
and the child Is In great danger of sickness.
In the meantime the distracted parents were
almost crazy with fear, the mother going into
spasms. Search was made everywhere until .
o'clock last night, when 1t was returned to its
mothers arms. Mr.. Lcrch, the father then
hunted up the drunken Bob Herrell, and
found him On d street, Island, and went for
him, when Herrell in great fear ran through
several houses, fleeing from the infuriated pa
rent, and rs he was running frou Virginia
avenue pistol accidently went off in the
hands Of small boy, aud Bob was so fright
ened that he literally jumped over all express
wagon In his way and ran howling murder
and as his white coat tail streamed out in the
moonlight II was so straight that the aforesaid
small boy could have played marbles on it with
his pard. He has disappeared, and up to q
hate hour last night the police had not captured
him
