found none of them down. This last trap
was in a thicket. and rs he nearcd it he gave
a shout of joy when he saw that the door was
down. lie cautiously ran his hand in
the narrow aperture without looking in,
and to his horror drew out the
body Of dead co!ored infant. Hastily
thrustlng the little carcass back he gave III
formation Of the discovery. The infant had
been murdered and put in this singular re-
ccptacle.. The Coroner of the district in
whlts' the body was founu directed neigh
Dor to take the body, provide 4 coffin. and
dccently bury it, re1uarking that the county
would pay him for his trouble. The work
was accordingly done, and at the last meet
ing of the Board of Supervisors IL bill in the
following unique form Was presented for
liQuidation:

Special Dtspateh to The Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.-The Treas
ury authorities still decline to give any details
as to the canlountof Gper cents which have been
proposed for continuance. But each days
mail makes it more certain that the Treasury
policy will prove successful. The somewhat
remarkable rise in the price Of per cents in
New York City was to-day referred to by
Treasury officials rs a striking Indication
that the new policy could not fail. The inl-
preston is gaining ground that Congress
will not interfere with the Treasury
policy, except to enact some Specific
legislation which will affrnatiyely APP
prove or lcgaiize the action OF the
Secretary, if it is not legal without legisla-
ti0n.
EN-SpEAKEE RANDALL,
who is here to-day, however, says that the
result shows that Il 3 per cent bond might
have been negotiated, and that Congress
next winter will insist upon that rate Of i'll
terest.
