ing Mr. John Devlin found in the yard attached
to the coach stables, on the corner of Bond
street and the Baltimore turnpike the head of O
mulatto infant, his attention being attracted
thereto by some dogs which were playing with
1t. States Attorney Mavnader was notified and
caused diigent search to be made for the body
but without success. Drs. R. D. Lee and w
8. Archer examined the CHASTITY object and found
it was the head Of a newly born child 1t was
at first supposed that the head had oeen severed
from the body with Ratchet or axe, but this
could not be established as fact.
An inquest was held, on Thursday morning,
by Justice Snowden. The jury consisted of VIM.
n. Stsgmer, foreman; John H. Shannon, c. w.
Proctor, Vim. Fl. Moffett, Geo w. McMorris,
Dr. j. B. l.. Swentzell, John F. Lingan, Wake.
man F. Morgan, George D. Waters, VIM. II.
Jones, Robert W. Holland and Geo. r. Cairnes
After hearing the evidence of DR.. Lee, John
Devlin, Robert X Carman and Frank jackson,
the jury rendered the following verdict:
"From the evidence before the jury we say
that this child was mulatto, but the jury is un.
able to say whether It was still born or not ;
and If horn alive, the jury are unable to say
from what cause 1t came to its death, or at whose
hands"

Accident on the York and Peach Bottom
Railway. ."|
Three Men Injured.

On Thursday of last week as engine No. was
taking out extra freight from York to Delta, on
the York and Peach Bottom Railway. below the
forks of Muddy Creek. 1t ran into the hand car of
Division No 4. in which the hands were going
home Both the engine and the hand car We're
mashed, and the foreman of that section, w. H..
McCleary, is thought to have received fatal injI-
ries.
Frank Ewing and John wolver. who were
pushing a stone car ahead of the hand-car, were
also injured.
Surgical aid was rendered the injured men by
Drs j. b. Amos and Mcdonald. McCleary's col
lar bone was found to be broken. and he had a
severe cut on the back of his head and cuts on his
forehead and across his left cheek. Ewing and
wolver were bruised. but not seriously injured
The mail train was delayed until the wreck was
cleared away and did not reach Delta until one
o clock Friday morning
The accident was caused by the hands not
knowing that an extra train was on the road
One Of them said he heard whistle and the next
moment the collision occurred. Such accidents
might be avoided If the company would erect a
telephone or telegraph line along the railroad,
The recent accident will probably cost as much
as such telegraph line along the entire road

WRECKED IN A souALL.-On Thursday Of last
week as Messrs. VIM. II. Bauer and Robert NJ.
ID. Anderson, of Bel AR, were cunning on Bush
river, near the mouth of Otter Creek, sudden
squall of wind struck their canoe, and after maxi
ing desperate but unsuccessful efforts to land,
they turned and scudded with the wind, which
carried them swiftly across the river. Fearing
a capsize they tied their guns to rope and at
tached them to an oar. When near the shore
the boat upset, in twelve feet of water, but
they managed to cling TO the bottom Of the craft,
until the wind carried 1t and them ashore
Their guns and an overcoat fell overheard. The
latter was not recovered, but the oar served as
guide to heir guns, which were fished up the
next day, They were in imminent danger OF
losing their lives, and congratulate themselves
upon getting Off with the loss Of q coat instead
IF furnishing food for crabs.

STRIKE AMONG THE CAN MAKERs-An i'm
pending strike among the tin can makers of
Baltimore city may be of serious consequence to
hundreds of persons in this county who are en-
gagged in canning fruits and vegetables. 1t is
understood that the dissatisfied workman de-
mand 40 cents instead of IS cents hundred for
tbree.pound cans and the abandonment on the
part of the bosses of the drawback for defective
cans. The Baltimore Sun says
1.-THE proprietor of one of the can factories
which will be affected by the movement says
that the manufacturers of handmade cannot
compete with the machine made cans and pay
more than 35 cents hundred WOrkmen on
hand made cans make from 800 TO l, 900 cans a
day. and the draw back is absolutely necessary
to insure good work. The manufacturer war
rants his cans when he sells o the fruit packer.
and he sometimes is compelled to pay losses on
canned goods For instance, cans sold at 80 a
hundred when filed with fruit or vegetables have
been found leakv. and the can manufacturer has
to paw from $40 to Sl4 hundred for such
goods The reasonableness of charging the
work man for defective work the employer thinks
II patent to all Every workman IL required TO
place his private mark on each can he makes, so
that faulty work when returned from the packer
may be Identified The low price at which cans
are made and sold renders II impractical lie TO
go to the expense of testing the work before 1t
leaves the shop. Manufacturers of handmade
work say that if the demand of the can-maEers
is insisted upon and becomes general, the effect
will be to force all handwriting factories to
resort to machinery, and the consequent EN-
ployment of boys and girls. The manufacture OF
cans designed to meet the demands of fruit pack.
ers the approaching season has been in progress
nearly three months, and all the shops are still
quite busy in anticipation of the season, which
is about to commence with the vegetable and
fruit packers"
