A Founding.

A young woman, heavily yelled rang the bell
at the house of Mr.. William T. Long, on Wabash
street, about o'clock last night, and when the
gentleman of the house opened the door She
thrust in his hands a covered basket, saying:
Here is present for your wife" and then ran
hastily away. The basket contained we'll
dressed little baby, evidently but day old and
a card on which was the message: '"rhis child
was born Of an honorable mother Her name is
Goldie. Please to take her and adopt her, and
be good father and mother for her. Not
knowing what else to do with the child, Mr. and
Mrs Long kept her for about three hours but
she became so troublesome that they sent her
to the station-house. Turnkey Clark was equally
perplexed, and finally sent the mysterious in
FAINT to the Orphans Home, where she was
properly cared for.

THE SECOND GAME WON.
Indianapolis Easily Defeats the Grand Rapids
Nine-Result of Games Elsewhere.

The game of ball between the Indianapolis
and Grand Rapids clubs yesterday was much
more interesting than that played on the proceed
ing day although the score was scarcely less
one-sided. The home team demonstrated
their superior batting ability by bat
ting both Getzein and Henry all over
the field scoring sixteen hits, with total of
twenry-one bases. Thompson caught and Nc
Arthur pitched for indianapolis and if yester-
days work was fair indication of what they
can do. the club will not have any off days so
far as the batteries are concerned. In the entire
nine innings but two single base hits were made
off of his delivery. Thompson behind the bat
did good work, the three passed balls
registered against him being perfectly
cxeusable on account of the exceeding chilliness
of the atmosphere. The grounds were in very
bad condition, and the ball after the first four
innings soft and slippery, and on this ground
most of the errors on both sides may be ac-
counted for The features of the game were
two phenomenal catches by Keenan, and Peltz,
and the batting of Phillips, Thompson, Callahan
and Peltz. Following is

the province and position of medical specialists,
provoked by the closing part of Dr. Toomson's
paper on that subject DR. Harvey taking the
ground that man must first be doctor and
then a specialist, while DR.. Chambers contended
that the specialists are not the lone advancers of
medicine, and are likely to receive harm from

A Crew of H2 NIen Added TO the Long List

GLOUCESTER, Mass. Jan. 28.-The schooner
George w. Stetson sailed from this port De-
cember 10Th on Goldfish trip to Georges,
succeeded in obtaining, and sailing thence De-
csmber 18th, since which time no tidings have
been received from her. The conviction is at
last forced upon the owners that she has gone
down ON the fishing banks of Georges How
this schooner met her fate will probably never
be known.
The Stetson was manned by crew of twelve
men as TO lows: Captain Laughlin Mcleod,
who leaves widow and child; Henry Har-
nisb, Angus j. Mcleod, Malcolm Mcleod,
James Macarthur, John Mcdonald, Simon
McEacheren, Patrick Sisk, William Kennedy,
who leaves widow and one child; Angus
Macarthur, John McVarish, and John Ryan,
who leaves a widow.
The schooner George W. Stetson was about
forty-nine tons measurement. She was owned
by j. O. Proctor, Jr., and was built in Essex in
1869 She was insured in the Gloucester
Mutual Fishing Insurance Company for $3240.
This is now the third vessel which has been
given mp since the year opened, and their
crews aggregate forty-two men. When one
thinks of this, in connection with the fearful
loss of life among Gloucester men during the
November gale, it seems a wonder that the
fishermen, courageous though they are, dare to
face the dangers that have proved fatal to SO
maay of their felfow-toilers Of the deep.
The schooner Waldo Irving is also long
overdue, and will undoubtedly never return.
She was engaged in the haddock fishery on
Georges aud sailed December Goth. She wss
manned by crew of fourteen men. TIE
Waldo Irving was frst-class vessel, built at
Essex in 1882, owned by J. P. Wonson & Co.,
valued at $4,000, and insured in the G oucester
Mutual Fishing Insurance ComIaay for $500.
The schooner Alice G. Jordan, Captain Jed
Warren, arrived today from Fortzne Bay, N.

was absent but twents-six days-one of the
