LEFT ALONE TO DIE.
The Body of an Infant on the Steps OF the
Little Minnie's Mission.


It was hardly daylight yesterday morn
ing when some one rang the door-bell of
the Little Minnie's Mission, on the corner
of Jones and Lincoln streets. Mrs.
O'Brien, the nurse, looked out of a win
dow, but did not see any one. CHANGING
down at the steps she noticed in the door
way basket. She was expecting pack
age in the morning, and went down stairs
and opened the door.
Picking the basket up, she took it in the
hall. Upon removing the cloth that COW
cred the basket, she found a white infant.
1t had been carefully wrapped up, and
beside it was placed several articles OF
baby clothing, neatly made. A little,
white flannel skirt was carefully worked
around the edges. On piece of brown
paper was printed the single word
''Willie." The babe was dead, and the
basket and the articles of clothing were
thoroughly soaked by the rain, which had
been falling all night.
Coroner Dixon was notified at O'Clock.
He made an investigation, but did not OBJ
tain any satisfactory clue to the identity
OF the founding. DR.. T. b. Chisholm
stated that the child was about "a hours
old and had died of exposure. The body
was buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery.

THE DANCE OF THE SUN.
BY THE REV. TIMOTHY HARLEY, F. R.A.s.

Some Of the quaintest, queerest notions
to be found in the old curiosity shops OF
life and and literature concern the celes-
tial bodies. The moon has enjoyed the
most notice, but the sun has had large
share Of strange sightseeing observation.
one remarkable imagination is that the
brilliant orb cuts a periodical caper, ana
begins certain holy days with matltut-
nal dance. Easter Sunday is supposed TO
specially excite the satatory motions OF
this merry monarch. In Nicholas Bre-
toms 'Fantasticks," published in London
IN 1926, we read: IL conclude, 1t is day
OF much delightfulnesse; the Sunne's
dancing day, and the Earth's Holy-Day."
In Sir John Stockings works, published
In 1896, is ''A Ballad upon a Wedding"
wherein we find the following:
but, Dick, she dances such way!
NO sun upon an Easter day
Is half so fine a sight"
The Attention Oracle, issued in 1904,
contains this query and its answer;
20. Why doth the sum- at his rising in
the armament, play more on Easter-day
than Whitsunday? 4. This question be-
ing proposed In Welsh. which ancient
language, we must confess, none of us
have the happiness to understand, we
have been forced to make use of an inter-
preteri and, taking it for granted he has
not injured the sense of it in the transla-
ton, we thus reply: That the matter-Of-
factis an old, weak, superstition error, and
the sun neither plays nor works on Easter
DAY more than any other. 1t is true 1t
may sometimes happen to shine brighter
that morning than on the preceding or
following days; but If it does, tits purely
accidental. In some parts Of England
they call it the Lamb playing, which they
look for as soon as the sun rises in some
clear spring or water, and is nothing but
the pretty reflection it makes from the
water, which they may find at any time
If the sun rises clear and they themselves

The Ultimate Grasshopper.

The last grasshopper of the season was feebly
struggling through the grass to place to sun
himself yesterday afternoon. Age had changed
his vigorous green complexion to dull brown,
and rheumatism had crippled his agile legs. He
waded YEARLY through the tangled blades that
two months before he would have
cleared at jump A fallen weed
blocked his way as a fallen tree would stop
the road of a carriage horse. He couldn't jump
it or climb it, and he had to struggle slowly
around the butt of it. The sunlight fell warm
and genial in the Indian summer afternoon-the
blue haze of that richest season of the year hung
over the woods about the city yesterday and the
day beforehand made inviting to his decrepit
age big brown leaf that lay full in the light.
He reached it with many weary pushes and side
movements to escape obstructing clumps of
grass malignant rag weed, and climbed up
over the edge of it as painfully as green sailor
would climb round the ''maintop" on a ''futtock
shroud.' and lay evidently painting and exhaust
ed, with his long legs doubled under him, for
several minutes. Then the reporter shot
charge of tobacco juice at him. with the accu-
racy of Hannibal Chollop," and the alarm put
moments strength into his limbs. He jumped a
foot, struck the trunk of dead dog fennel, and
fell at the root dead.

Suit to EDjoin Use Of a Name.

A complaint for injunction against Daniel w.
Marmon, Addison 81. Nordyke, Charles D. Jen-
ney and others constituting the Jenney Electric
company, Of West indianapolis, was fled in the
Superior Court yesterday by the Fort Wayne
Electric-light Company It seeks to enjoin
defendants from using the name "Jen-
ney," in their electric-light business. It
is claimed by plaintiff that the Jenney patents,
in which the popularity and reputation of the
lights have been secured belong to them. When
the Fort Wayne company was organized, James
A. and Charles D. Jenney, the latter minor,
were stockholders and employed as electricians.
Is is alleged that all the patents to be procured
by them were to be assigned to the
company. Charles D. Jenney attained his
majority in February, 1885, and it is charged
dlsafirmed the contract made with him.
Plaintiff and he came to a settlement by assign
ing to Charles D. Jenney one of the patents.
which, 1t is claimed. was never used by the
company. and undivided one-h half interest
in another patent, the Fort Wayne
company reserving the right to make, use
and sell the invention under this
ney. 1t is charged that the claim of the Jenney
Electric Company rests on these two patents;
but. at the same time, it is represented in pub
LEGATIONS. the company owns all of the patents
which belong to complainant company, and in
this damaging the interests of complainant If
the court cannot decide that the Fort WAYNE
company has the sole right to use the term Jen-
ney, it is asked that defendants be required to
use the term with some distinguishing word.

INDIANA BANKING COMPANY AFFAIRS.
A Movement to Settle Litigation Over One
of the Company's Assets.

Yesterday Frederick Rand, receiver Of the
Indiana Banking Company, applied to Judge
Taylor to settle the questions at issue between
the Scottish-American Mortgage Company and
his trust. They grew out of two sets of mort
cages, one given by Benz G. Shaw to F. A. W. Da
vis,cashier of the banking company and the other
by Shaw to the Scottish-American The first are
two. of date, respectively, May Is and June IA,
1879, covering 2l06a acres of land, and the last
of date Oct IL. 1881, applying to 1,5463 acres o.
the same land. Upon this was borrowed $15.-
600. and in consideration of that money being
paid over to the Indiana Banking Company, the
Scottish-Americau mortgage became paramount
to those of the Indiana Banking Company. On
the Sd of November following the last date a
deed of trust was made by Shaw TO Alexander
A. Morrison who was to collect the revenue of
the mortgaged lands and apply it first to the
payment of the Scottish-American claim, and
after that to the banking company's mortgages.
In the Newton County Circuit Court the
Scottish American foreclosed and claimed first
lien on all the lands but the decree covered only
l.546a acres. it being held that on the remaining
$50 acres the banking company's mortgages were
paramount To this the Scottish-American took
an appeal to the Supreme Court. Pending these
proceedings Benjamin G. Shaw executed
10 hanO, receiver, Qultclalm
deed to the whole of the 21064 acres.
The application of Mr.. Rand, as receiver, was
that, to avert further litigation, he be allowed to
execute to Albert s. Caldwell, on behalf of the
Scottish American Mortgage Company, quit
claim deed to l,546a acres, which will operate as
release of the lien of the banking company's
mortgages He also asked that he be
allowed to pay over to the Scottish
Americans attorneys, Judah & Jameson.
$50. 76 balance remaining of rent collected from
ward fona ant fho for opd RI
assign to them a note Cor $475 In consideration
of this, the appeal to the Supreme Court will be
Withdrawn, and the decree of the Newton Cir
cult Court accepted as final In the arrange
ment quitclaim deed will be given to Receiver
Rand for the $50 acres remaining. Judge Taylor
approved the application.

JUDGE VINCENT'S REMOVAL.
MIR. Fishback Explains His Connection with
the Deposing of the New Mexico Judge.

Mr.. W. P. Fishback, who is credited with hav-
ing been Instrumental in causing the removal of
Judge Vincent, of the Supreme Court of New
Mexico, for appointing Stephen w. Dorsey one
of the commissioners to select jurors for the
courts of the Territory, in answer to the asser
ton by Congressman Springer that he had
been mistaken in supposing that the
commission had power to select the jurors who
try cases under the land laws, says that he under
stood perfectly we'll that the iuries have moth
ing to do with trying the rights to the title of
land, but it is fact that the re-emption Of
lands in the Territory is based on perjury and
subornation of perjury, which are offenses that
would come under the cognzance of the Jurors.
Mr.. Fishback found that report to the Land
Office by special agent implicated Dorsey in the
land frauds, and when he noticed that Dorsey had
been appointed jury commissioner, he at once
wrote to the President calling his attention to the
Land Office report on Dorsey. He could hardly
believe that Judge Vincent acted in ignorance Of
the facts, because reports of Dorsey's connection
with the land frauds had been printed in the pa
pers of New Mexico. The letter to the Presi-
dent was written on Oct. 7, and it seems to have
received rather prompt attention.
