A HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Chicago Woman Throws Her Child From
n Car Window.


WICHITA, Kas., June ga horrible case
of infanticide occurred on the Santa Fe
railroad near Cimarron, about one hun
dred miles west of here. On the train
was well-dressed woman of about thirty,
who seemed in great distress. As the
train passed over a small bridge the con-
ductor, who was standing on the platform,
noticed bundle thrown from the window
of the toilet-room. Just before the bundle
reached the water it opened and to his
horror the conductor saw a small body
exposed for moment before it sank be-
meath the water. In the tollet-room he
discovered the Roman previously mem
toned. Her mind was wandering and she
could give no account of herself. In a
handbag were found some letters ad-
dressed to Mrs. Grace Worthington of
Chicago, and her ticket was from that
point TO Pueblo, Colo. A man on the train
who bad spoken to her earlier in the day
said she told him her husband died two
years ago, and she had been spending the
interval in Chicago. She was taken on to

inside the harbor without accident.
Three other vessels are riding at anchor
outside the harbor not daring TO venture
in an effort to pass through the canal.
But one life was lost out of the crew of the
Schooner Mayfower which went down

suit from severe bruises and the exposure
sustained by others of the crew.

PRINCETON, Ind, June 1.-THE united
presbyterian general assembly adopted
the report on Sabbath observance, ex-
pressing great thankfulness for the
increased interest in the sancity
of the holy day and instructing officers to
express to the postmaster-general the
hearty support of the whole church in his
course in reducing the amount of Sab
bath labor in the mail service.
The officers were also instructed TO
petition the directors of the Columbian
exposition to close oil the departments on

made against the Sunday papers as de-
moralizing. The bond of ministerial
relief reported that 100 persons have been
aided during the year to the amount of
Sl5, 754, the endowment fund amounted TO
$4,000.
PRINCETON, Ind, June Sin the United
presbyterian general assembly the first or
der OF the day was the relation of the wo-
mans board of missions to the other boards
in the foreign fields. The jurisdiction and
regulations of the two boards in some
measure conflict. The assembly expressed
it's judgment that the charter and bylaws
of the woman's board should be modified
so as to bring the boards into more direct
relations with the general assembly. A
committee of six was appointed TO confer
with the woman's board on the subject.
The assembly made provisions for the cir
culation of literature on the subject OF
systematic giving aud called upon all the
churches to cooperate with the committee
on ways and means in the raising OF
money for the boards and institutions OF
the church. The regular work is to have
precedence of special work by congrega-
tons. The subject of home mission
changes was removed from the assembly
by reference to committee to formulate
the plans more perfectly. On invitation
the Rev. James Boyce OF Louisville adj
dressed the assembly on the position OF
the synod of the South as to union. His
address was in most cordial spirit. The
COMMITTEES on union and the reformed
presbyterian church was continued.
A very carefully prepared and strong
paper on temperance was adopted. As TO
license, high or low, its tenor is in the
sentence, "For the Son of God was mani
tested to destroy and not to regulate the

Dor to the selection of the books and
there is no doubt that every book adopted
is strictly frst-class. The final awards
were all made by unanimous votes.

Illinois Senators Have o Fight on tn
FLOOR.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 3.-The novelty
of fisticuff in the senate chamber was
witnessed yesterday afternoon. Itwas be-
tween Senators Campbell and Allen and
grew out of dispute over a dill. Senator
Allen accosted the gentleman from Mac
Leansboro, who said he did not want to
have anything to do with him, and the
gentleman from Scott gave the retort dis
courteous. Hcreupon ensued a fracas.
Senator Campbell banged Senator Allen
in the left ear and Senator Allen reached
for mucilage pot. but MISSED it and had
TO smite at his adversary with bill file
loaded down with bills which had failed
to pass. OF course there was commo-
ton and the contestants were firmly
grasped by their respective adheTents
The combatants were separated and Lieu
tenant-Governor Ray remarked "The SEN
ate will be in order" Subsequently there
were proper apologies.
An extraordinary scene OF wild con-
fusion and excitement was witnessed in
the lower house OF the general assem-
bly, this afternoon when the worlds
fair bill which, as passed by
the senate, appropriating 81, 100000 for the
Illinois exhibit, was acted upon. Efforts
to reduce the appropriation to $4,000
or 5000 900 we're successfully de-
feated, but in a motion fixing the
amount at $4,000 it was apparent that
the vote would nearly be tie. Then
Speaker Crafts, (democrat) voted for the
amendment and ignoring n republican
member who wished to change and vote
in favor of the bill, hurriedly announced
that the vote had been closed.
Then the house became a bedlam of
shrieking, disappearing and hurrahing
men. While Crafts coolly declared the
$4,000 amendment had been adopted, 76
yeas to 70 nays. In the face of a terrific
storm of protests, the speaker would listen
only to a motion to adjourn, and calmly
declared the motion carried. The men,
bers were now yelling and running about
like so man Comanches. Half a dozen
made a rush for the speaker to drag the

but were forcibly held back by his seconds.
More than one legislator reached for his
revolver, and q riot seemed inevitable.
McInery of Chicago (democrat) at
his moment jumped TO the
speakers stand and shouted, eve will
reconsider it tomorrow" finally succeeded
in bringing about a truce. 1t is expected
that another outbreak will take place to-
morrow.

CINCINNATI, o., June Sat noon TODAY
the weather was warm and fair. Over
four thousand people were at Latonia
when the racing began. At that hour dark
storm clouds glowered on the northwest
ern horizon. Driven by hurricane they
rushed swiftly on, displaying that ominous
olive green color with heecy fringes so
peculiar to dangerous storms Suddenly
the wind struck the grand stand at Latonia,
in which were 5000 people. one-third Of
them women. Then came the rain, first
in streams and afterward in sheets. Horse
sheds outside of the race course were
picked up and strewn clear across the
railroad tracks 200 yards away. The iron
anatomy Of the grand stand shivered and
creaked. Binding sheets of water driven
by forty-mile-an-hour hurricane,
drenched everybody. A rush to the CEN
ter of the grand stand did not help mat
tiers. The wind toppled the upper seats
over and rolled them toward the front.
Then, amid screams of women, a wild rush
was made for the broad central stairway
that leads to the plaza in front of the
stand. Brave men rushed into the crowd
and averted a calamity. The crowd went
down safely TO shelter under the stand.
Many women tainted. One woman cleared
the fence next the track with a single
bound and ran across the track in the
bowling storm. Another woman is re-
ported to have thrown her baby over the
railing into the grass and afterward picked
it up uninjured. Half an hour later the
wet crowd was sitting on moist benches
watching the races No casualties have
been reported
