TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
An Insane Mother Murders Her own
Child by Cutting its Throat with q

An Insane Mother Murders Her 0wn
Razor.
Last Tuesday morning our quiet city
was thrown into state OF intense ex-
citement by the report that the wife OF
our respected townsman, Mr.. L. IL.
Cone, had killed her baby ip fit of in
sanity. 1t was too true. 1t seems that
Mrs. Cone had been feeling downcast
and detected for several days, but that
her conduct was not such as to excite
apy alarm or suspicion. On Tuesday
morn;n, she Vas more than usually de-
spondcnt. Her kind husband had made
and partaken OF his breakfast, but be-
fere going to work had endeavered to
cheer aAd encourage her. She made a
partial premise that she would trv to
be cheerful. From the evidence ad-
duced before the acting coroner, Squire
Jones, it seems that her husband had
no sooner left the house than she arose
from bed, went 10 a trunk and procured
razor. Then taking her infant son
into the pantry she coolly and deIiber-
ately attempted to cut his head off.
She cnt fearful cash in the innocent's
neck, and was ouly prevented from de-
capitatins him by the breaking of the
razor on the homes of the neck. She
then went to her nearest neighbor, DIR.
King, and told him that she had killed
the baby and that now he could do
what he liked with it. DIR. King i'm.
nediatsiy notified the proper authcri
ties. TIE unfort uuate woman then
went to the grist mill, near which hel
formed him tha. she had killed the ba
by. Upon heing asked why she did so
she simply replied that she thought il
was better for the baby, that she her
self had committed the unpardonablt
sin, that there was no hope of salvation
for her, and that by and by it woul,
be the same with the baby, and tina
she had better kill him while he had
chance of going to heaven. She seemed
to be utterly unmoved by sorrow or re
| morse. The jury empanelled by ACTIN
coroner Jones brought in the following
VERDICT;
t We, the undersigned jurors, calle
r and sworn to inquire into the cause c
;, the death of IA deceased child, do fin
lis name to be Edward Core, that
e was born in Weston Dece nber 10TH
o 1854, and that its age is six months an

having its throat cut with razor in til

MIR. Bayard Not Unhappy.


WASHINGTON, May 31.-Secretary Bay
ard starts for the West tomorrow a friend
of his makes the following ex-cathedra
statement as to Bayard's condition and his
relations to the administration: He act
ually needs rest, which he seeks, for he has
been constantly at work in his Office until
6 o'clock in the evening and has carried his
business home with him. He looks well
and is in pleasant frame of mind but he is
fatigued. He is not suffering from the attacks
which are made upon him and which are
based on pure inventions. There is no
straining of the relations between the presi-
dent and the secretary of state. 1t is not
true that Mr.. Bayard is not on pleasant
terms with his fellow members of the cabi-
net. 1t is false that ne is not consulted.
He is on excellent terms with the president
and every member of the cabinet, and he
has supreme control of his department, and
no cabinet officer has more than
that. The president is satisfied that
very few mistakes have been made
and most Democrats here believe that Mr..
Bayard has suffered from the fact that he
has made more appointments than all the
other cabinet officers and therefore criticism
has been brought to focus on him. Mr..
Cleveland will hardly fail to consult Mr.
Bayard when the annual message comes to
be prepared, for there is no member of the
administration so thoroughly equipped on
subject of legislation.

Civil Service for Chicago.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 81 The attention
of Judge ThOman of the civil service COM
mission, who is to be present at examina-
tions in Chicago next Wednesday, was
called before leaving to the report that he
had been selected to go there because he
was Democrat, and that the Democrats
hoped to manipulate the examinations in
some way. Judge Thoman said any state
mentS of that sort were of course absurd,
not to characterize them in any other way;
that Commissioner Gregory had thus far
happened to conduct previous examinations
at Chicago, but that the commission had
agreed that tswould be expedient for the
members to alternate in different sections
of the country in order that the entire COM
mission might become acquainted with the
condition of the service in the whole coun-
try: that the examination at Chicago would
be conducted strictly in accordance with the
law and the rules as they are everywhere,
and that the examiners rmQuestionably
would pass upon the merits OF the papers
without necessarily knowing the politics OF
the applicants. Judge Thomas added that
while the pressure for Office in the Chicago
postoffice would undoubtedly be very great,
Mr. Judd has not more than dozen places
absolutely at his disposal which could be
filled outside of the civil service eXamina-

POLICY OF THE SENATE.
Republican Senators or Cleyeland's
Nominations.
Special to the Globe.

Special TO Ine GlODe-
WASHINGTON, May 31.-Senator Van
Wyck will leave in few days to spend the
summer at home. He has remained here
mainly for the purpose of endeayoring to
ascertain the policy of the new administra-
ton relative to land grants, the Indian
country. the encroachment of cattle kings
and the illegal fences. Being asked whether
the resolutions reported to have been
adopted by the Republican senators in eau
Gus as to their political policy with respect
to combinations were accurate or not Mr..
Van Wyck said: Il did not attend all the
caucrses. but think that if such action had
been taken in my absence | would certainly
have been informed OF it afterwards. An
other reason for my disbelief in the publica-
ton is that l think Republican senators
would have more sense than to write or
formulate such an idle resolution as is the
second: That in case any Democratic part
isan causes the removal of an
EFFICIENT REPUBLICAN
and receives as his reward for causing such
removal the nomination as successor to the
lecapitated official, such nomi nations will
not be confirmed. No, sir; TIE general dis
position of the senate was to treat the
president kindly and fairly as the Demo
Gratis did to the Republican president. -
Senator Morrill, Of Vermont, on being
questioned on the subject, said: Il would
prefer not to talk about it, but l will
say simply this, that if l were editor of
any paper l would not think it worth while
taking the least notice of it." II am salts
fied,' said Senator Dolph of ,Orgon, that
such resolutions were never passed. don't
care to say anything further than that. AS
for considering that political reasons would
be regarded sufficient cause for removals
by the Republican senators, [ can only
speak for myself / believe that if federal
officials who have term of Office to run
were to be removed for cause the senate
would consider it had the right to look into
the reasons. The truth is that the subject
of the future action of the majority in rela-
ton to nominations was
DISCUSSED IN CAUCUS
at different times but no definite line OF
policy was adopted. 1t was found that the
Republicans differed among themselves
Some contended that so long as the senate
is Republican it would do all in its power tC
keep Republicans in Office. Others boldly
declared that the Democrats haG
elected president and were entitled tC
the offices. About the nearest approach tt
any fixed policy was the action in permit
ting the cases of one or two Democrats
nominated to succeed Republican collectors
of internal revenue, but recently appointed
to go over without action. It seemed to be
the view of the majority that Republican
collectors who We're but recently installed
ought not to be displaced, but that no OBJ
lection would be made to the removal OF
collectors who had served several years. Il
will remain with the senate to fix the policy
with regard to nominations next winter.

a.he President i'm New York.

New YORK, May 31.-President Cleve-
land slept soundly at Secretary Whitney's
house last night, arose early, and opened his
mail before breakfast. The president had
thought of attending divine service at Rev.
DIR. John Halls Presbyterian church, OF
which Mrs. Whitney is a member, but he
changed his mind before the time
for starring and remained within
doors until he left for the tram.
Hubert q. THOMPSON called on the presi-
dent and remained several hours. Mayor
Grace made a visit of considerable length.
AIgernan B. Sullivan and Stephen P. Nash
made short calls during the afternoon.
Several gentlemen, including Congressman
Perry Belmont, called but did not see the
president. From an early hour in the
morning woman with her two
sons, aged respectively 2 and B
years, stood in front of Whit
ney's residence with paper in her
hand. She was the wife of Joseph Boo
calino whom Judge Benedict sentenced
three months ago to three years imprison-
ment in Auburn for passing counterfeit
money. The woman had petition
for her husbands pardon signed by
many Italian residents of Harlem
When the president finally did come out she
handed him the document and he took it
into the carriage. At p. m. the presi-
dent, accompanied by Secretaries Endicott
and Whitney, was driven to the Desbrosses
street ferry, where he took boat to catch
the train at Jersey City for Washington.
