Yet these same persons were married in state

that child about months old was buried In
the yard OF the house at 1926 Twenty.eighth
street. occupied by Emma Jones. The body
was buried in such shallow earth that IL was
partially exposed by the recent rains,
and was smelling very badly. Emma Jones
was questioned about the matter, but declared
that she had not been living there long ani
did not know when the child was buried or
by whom. The woman appeared suspicious
and guarded against giving any further In.
formation than what was forced from her by
the oflicer. The remains were taken 10 the
station.house and examined by the Coroner

The Tobacco Rebate.

Congress provided in the new Revenue
bill for rebate of 80 per cent, on all manu-
featured tobacco, but made no specific ap-
preparation to pay the rebate. 1t is claim
ed, however, that that will not prevent the
parties interested having their claims or
rebate allowed preparatory to receiving the
money when appropriated by the Forty
eighth Congress. The failure by the last
Congress to make the necessary appropria-
amount of rebate, 1t is claimed, will keep
about $i,000,OO0 out of the trade, that be-
ing the estimated amount that will be
found to be due dealers on the lst of July
next. Judge Lawrence, First Comptroller
will in due time be called upon to decide
what steps are necessary to be taken in the
matter
