SrEUBENvILLE, September 25.-The in
fanticide case of last Monday night was
such a glaring piece of heartlessness on the
part of the mother that 1t excited more
than usual interest in this city. Carrie
Wheaton. the mother of the child, does not
seem to realize the enOrmity Of the crime
she has committed, and can't understand
why the authorities or any one else should
interfere in the matter. She don't think
any more of having deliberately taken her
own child's life than she would that OF a
kitten The only thing that seemed TO
worry her at all was because Palmer de-
MED the paternity Of the babe, and also
having given her drugs. Palmer is young
man who has previously enjoyed good
record. and his word will doubtless 20
long way toward upsettng any declaration
made by woman wicked enough 10 Kill
her own own offspring and throw
il down privy vault. And the
fact that the child was full-time,
healthy infant showing no trace OF any
attempt to end its life by means of drugs,
is evidence against the story of the woman,
who is still confined TO bed at the residence
of her sister, Mrs. VIM Smith, on Sher-
man avenue, being too i'll TO be moved. The
house is guarded day and night by police
man to Illustrate any attempt on her part to
escape. Palmer gave bond Monday even
ing in the sum of 800 for his appearance
to answer the charge against him and was
released from custody, County Commits
soner John Underwood being his surety.
The avowed determination of the authori-
ties To sift the matter to the bottom and pun
ish the guilty parties meets the approval
of the people.
Festive burglars were abroad in full
feather last Tuesday night The most not
able visit they made was at Frank Lynch's,
on North Third street, there they knocked
the old man in the head with poker and
compelled the old lady TO stand and deliver
at the muzzle of a revolver. At u. Cor
mans they carried off a lot of silverware,
but did no other damage. John NJ. Cook,
Esq, who resides on Sixth avenue also re-
ceived some attention from them, in the
shape of four bullets fired at him when he
appeared at the window Then after TAX
ing bottle of wine from the saloon OF
Michael Carry, corner of Seventh street
and Franklin avenue, they seem TO have
drifted down to Mingo, where hey went
through the saloon of Hugh McLester, Jack
Seaman and Ed. McLester. All the spoil
the thieves got at these numerous places
would not foot up fifty dollars, and they
consequently had hard nights work for
very little pay.
