Murdered the Baby.

FLINT, Sept. 4.-S!nce the finding of
the body of the 3-weeks-old baby
girl in Flint River, Tuesday, the
officers have been steadily at
work looking up the murderer
or murderers, and late last night made
the discovery that the child belonged to
Carry Mccain, a l7-year-old girl of this
city. A search found the Mccain
woman on the street in company with
Albert Kimmerer, a married man, whose
wife left him several months ago and
has applied TO the circuit court for a
divorce.
A few months ago Kimmerer fell in with
the McCann girl. and on the 25th of last
July he appeared before the county clerk
and asked for license to marry her. The
license was denied him on the grounds
that he still had wife. The pair how
ever, kept constant company until a baby
girl was born. According to the Mccain
girls story many plans were proposed to
make away with the child, to which she at
first refused to listen, but on being threat
ened with desertion by Kimmerer at last
consented, and Monday was the day fixed
foi the murder. On that day she says
Kimmerer drove TO Fenton. at which
place Carrie Mccain had been stopping Of
late, and brought her and the child to this
city. They proceeded to the woods north
of the city where they remained until even
ing. The Mccain girl was then dis
patched to he river with the babe. Upon
arriving at the river bank her courage
failed her and she returned to the buggy.
Here she was cursed by Kimmerer and
sent back second time. This time there
was row boat passing by and again the
girl returned TO tho carriage. Kimmerer
became wrathy and jumped from the We
hicle, grabbed the child from its mothers
arms, carried it TO the bank and tied sew
eral stones to its dress and picked it up TO
give it a toss into the river. His courage,
however, failed, and he reached it to the
Mccain woman and commanded her to
throw it. This time she obeyed and the
watery grave received the innocent child.
The murderous pair then came to the city
and later returned to the woods where
they staid in hiding until evening, when
they ventured out and were arrested by
Deputy Sheriff w. A. Miller and placed in
Jail. The news of the arrest soon spre ad
and for some time it was feared that the
two would be lynched by the angry mob
which gathered on the street corners.

THE vote of Vermont at the recent cleo
ton is almost I'll accounted for, and IL
shows that the senate will contain one soli-
sary democrat and the house IS democrats
to III republicans. The republican major
ity over all other tickets in the state is 49,
600.
ALTHOUGH the Lodge bill was not men
toned in the platform, the colored wing Of
the Texas republicans captured the entire
ticket with the exception Of governor, for
which Office Webb Flanagan was nomin-
ltcd. The platform favors the Australian
ballot system, and sits down hard on all

that Pee Dee has adopted a name

At the Walker school-house debate
on Tuesday night they had an in
teresting mock trial which was an
interesting diversion. The title of
the case was Medlin vs.. Booth, for
damages. Judge" G. W. Chap
man acted as special judge, while
Ad Em5ree male very efficient
circuit clerk and F. NJ. Booth acted
as sheriff. The matter of conlro-
versy being that the plaintiff on or
about the 18Th of November, while
out hunting, shot rabbit in the
public road near the residence Of the
defendant, and that the said rabbit
went on 10 the premises OF the said
defendant and died, and on the
plaintiffs making an effort TO secure
said rabbit the defendant resused to
let him do so and in consequence of
such refusal the said plaintiff en-
tered snit for damages for the sum
of ten cents. The case was tried hy
q jury of six, which resulted in a
hung jury. Both sides of the case
were hotly contested. We failed to
learn the names of the attorneys,
but think they hailed from some
suburban town like Prairie View. |

Politics and RELIGION.

Can politician he q Christian? !?
| believe that he can. The ques-
ton is equivalent to saying that the
administration of government is hos
tile to the teachings and precepts of
Christianity. Then the only people
who could hold Office would ne athe-
lists and pagans. Ii you admit that
the politician can not be Christian,
you at once destroy the whole foun-
dation of our government; you
would lose it the support of the
churches and of the Christian peo-
pie of the country, aud. as they
constitute the vast majority of the
the people, they would adopt some
government where Christians conld
consistently manage affairs. l do
not see what there is in a politician
advocating the claims of the party
in which he believes, and working
for its success in promulgating the
doctrines which he thinks essential
to good government, in seeking of
fee and exercising public functions,
which are not in the direct line OF
Christian injunction and duty. II
that is not so, then you must pass
ell public affairs, which means the
enactment of laws and their admins
tration, aud that means public order,
safety, morality, protection for life
and prosperity, and wise measures
which are for the benefit Of the bust
ness of the country, into the hands
solely of the saloons and the Chinese.

Lies Duration.

The passions certainly shorten life
and sometimes suddenly end it.
"Choked" with passion is very often
not an exaggeratlon. The lower an
lmals, which live temperate lives,
have their prescribed term of years.
The horse lives 25 years, the OK Is
or 20, the hog 10 or u, the rabbit
8 or 9 and the guinea pig 6 or z.
The numbers all bear proportion
to the time the animal takes to grow
to full size. Man is the only ami
NAL that seldom comes up to the
average. He ought to live 100 years,
according to the physiological. law,
for five times 20 are 100, but be
scarcely reaches an average of four
times the growing period.
To sum it all up man is the most
bard working and laborious of AMI
mails, also the most irregular and in
temperate. He IS irritable and often
wears out or is consumed by the fire
of his own reflections.

Marriages between lepers are al
lowed In the island of Maracaibo,
which serves as the leper colony of
Venezuela. State sanction for these
marriages was given after much dis
cussion many years ago, in the be-
lief that there could be no offspring
from such unions. For a long time
this theory remained uncontradIcted
by experience, bnt in the last four.
teen or fifteen years it appears that
there have been two births among
the lepers. Neither child has shown
any symptom Of the dreadful mall
ady, of the parents, and recently ac-
cording TO the United States consul
at Venezuela, one of these children,
having lived to the age of fourteen
in the leper island, has beea allowed
to leave and to enter into society on
the certificate of competent board
of inspectors that he is perfectly
healthy.-Londok D1ity Neiue.

The constant demand of the travel
ing public to the far West for a com
Portable ard at the s,me time an eco
nomical mode of travelling, has lei to
what is known as Pullma1 Coloaist
Sleepers.
These cars are built on the SINE
general plan as the regular frst-class
Pullman Sleeper, the only difference
being is that they are not upholstered.
These cars are furnished comrlete
with good comfortable helr mattresses,
warm blankets, snow white linen, cur
tains which secure to the occupant of
of a berth as much privacy as is 10 be
had IN frst-class sleepers, plenty Of
towels, combs, brushes, etc. There
are also separate toilet rooms for la
dies and gentlemen, and smoking is
absolutely prohibited.
Each car is in charge of an cxperi
euced uniformed Pullman Porters who
is required to keep the car in good
order aud to look after the wants and
comfort OF Iassengers.
Another fact not to be overlooked
is that these Pullman COlonist Sleep.
ers are attached to the daily fast ex-
press trains, thus enabling passengers
occupying these cars to make the same
time as occupants Of frst-class Pull
man Sleepeis.
Passengers holding both first and
second class tickets are allowed to ride
in the cars.
A charge of $500 for a lower or
upper berth is made between Council
Bluffs, Omaha or Kansas City and
San Francisco or Portland.
Fifty cents per berth per night Lo.
tween intermediate statiors.
For those furnishing their own
bedding free berths are given in Pull

Council Bluffs, Kansas City and

pecially commended for ths use of the
homeseeker who is moving to tie
