A Babe Murdered by It's Mother.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29.-Mrs Annie Gask-
ms, of l42 West York street, is under arrest,
charged with the murder of her infant child. ten
months old. On Sunday morning Mrs. Gaskins
says that she arose, and in doing 80 frightened
the cat which belongs to the family. and it ran
out Of the room. Fastening to the bedside Of
her child she AYERS she found the little one dead
with an ugly wound on its throat where the cat
had torn it with its claws. In her excitement
and distress she says she undressed and washed
the baby, but put her blood-stained clothes in a
bucket of water. An investigation confirms
the suspicion that the mother murdered the
child. No blood was found on the bed Clothes
but the floor of the out house was found to be
spotted with blood, and bloody butcher knife
was found secreted there The cbild's throat ap-
pears as if cut. rather than laeerated The cor
oners jury returned a verdict Of death from a
wound in the throat, inflicted by parties un-
known. The evidence showed that the wound
had been inflicted with a sharp instrument, and
not by cat, as the mother alleged. The latter
was committed to prison to await the action Of
the district attorney.

Loss of Life by Recent Gales.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Dec. 29-News was re-
ceved last night of the loss of the schooner Cleo
patra, Captain George W. Pendleton, of this
port. The dispatch stated that the captain and
crew had been taken of their vessel near
Georges Bank ard taken to Philadelphia by a
steamship. Three men named Hanson, Hodge
and Matherson were drowned. A man named
Nelson was killed. and FIVE others were injured
in the recent gale.
CHICAGO. Dec 29.-The consignors of the miss
ing schooner Orphan Boy have given up all hope
of her safety. A letter was received this morn
ing by them from lake captain who saw the i'll
fated craft on Dec. 4, about P. NJ, abreast of
the Beacon islands. In the opinion of the firm
she either foundered in'the terrific gale of that
night, or she struck a reef in attempting to
make the southern passage. and went to pieces.
There were eight men on board. who, doubtless,
went down with her. More weight is given to
the former theory, as had she met the latter fate
some pieces would have been washed ashore.
