MURDERED CHILD.
Its Body Found by Boy Bathers
in Lake Union.
a woMAN's SUSPICIOUS ACTS.
Seen by Man to Throw . Package In
the Water Similar to That Con-
tanning the Body.

The partially decomposed remains Of an
infant were discovered yesterday after
noon on the east bank of Lake Union by
several small boys who were swimming.
The infant, which could not have been
over day old, had probably lain in the
water about six weeks. 1t was tied and
wrapped up in paper, and had evidently
been thrown into the lake and afterward
washed ashore. The body was buried by
Coroner Horton near the spot where the
boys found it.
There is no evidence in the hands of the
police as to who made away with the in
FAINT, but circumstance related by gen.
tleman who lives at Lake Union may serve
as clue to finding the guilty person. One
evening just at dusk during the latter
part of June a man while walking along
the electric tracks which skirt the shore
of the lake on the east bank, noticed
fleshy, middle-aged woman short dis
lance below him. Her actions attracted
his attention, and he stopped to observe
her. She stood directly on the shore of
the lake and frequently cast furtive
glances up and down and in every direc-
ton. Not observing any one, she drew
what appeared to be paper parcel from
under her cloak and threw it far out into
the water. Then she hurried from the scene,
climbed the grade and started toward the
city at fast walk. The man, his curios-
ity now thoroughly aroused, turned and
walked toward the woman. AS they drew
near each other the man scanned her face
closely and saw it take on a look of alarm.
Beads of perspiration stood out on her
forehead and dropped off the point of her
big double chin. --She almost ran past the
man and avoided meeting his searching
look. The man followed her back to the
city. He walked along leisurely while she
at times almost ran. The woman finally
boarded an Albert street electric car and
was soon whisking along toward the heart
of the city.
The spot where the body of the infant
was found yesterday is about 200 yards
from where the woman threw the paper
parcel into the lake six weeks ago.

TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILROAD.

Russian Engineers Tell Of tho Great
Observation-Disclosures Booming.
Vladimir Beloborodoff. imperial Russian
engineer in charge of ports and bridges,
and John Barber, one of the most skilled
OF mechanical engineers, who arrived in
San Francisco on July 81 on their way to
viadivostock. told some interesting facts
about the trans-Siberian road in an inter-
view with an Examiner re porter.
They go to further the work of building
up Vladivostock and this great road,
which extends from VIadiyostock 1000
miles away to the crest of the Ural mount
ans, there connecting with line pushed
out from the Russian capital.
Both the engineers are men in the prime
OF life and are of great size, being typical
Slavs in appearance. Mr.. Barber. how
ever, explained that he was an English
man by birth. He spoke English as we'll
as Russian. They told an interesting
story of the work of railroad building in
the cars domain. Huge maps were
spread out, detailing the route of every
part of the road, and the kind of country
it permeated was discussed in detail.
From Zlatust, in the Ural mountains. the
line stretches, via Omsk. Tomsk. Irkutsk.
Chilah, Strolinsk and Habaroovka to
Vladivostock. 1t runs along the Obi,
Yenisei, Angora and Amoor rivers and
crosses innumerabie mountain chains.
Engineer Beloborodoff who has been in
active work on the line hitherto, and who
has just been home to consult about it
says that in the Urals the work was i'm
mensely more difficult than in the Sierra
Nevadas. through which he has Just come.
Ho VI int tod in, oh
tions about the Central Pacific, and said it
struck him as being a very cheap road,
with fiimsy bridges and light work all
around. when there ought to be heavy
work.
where in Russia" he said. "There all
work is in cement, and every bridge Of
any consequence is built from the cement
and rock foundation with iron and steel"
No one could be division superintend-
ent, an engineer, or occupy any position
of trust unless he had finished course in
the great Imperial Engineering University.
On all the imperial roads he said that
there was Waterman for every mile. and
he had a house to live in and make his OBJ
servations from.
Five thousand men are now working on
the first division, from the Ural mountains
eastward. On the next division recon-
noisance is now being made. but on the
other division reaching to Vladivostock
5000 men are employed. 1t is the inten-
ton to increase all the forces and push the
work as fast as possible. The 1000 miles
from the Urals to st. Petersburg are now
done.
The engineers say that it is now the in
tention to spend many millions of dollars
on building docks and walls in the harbor
of VladivOstock. 1t is expected by the
car that Vladivostock will become a
mighty city. Engineer Beloborodoff has
all this work in his charge. He says no
attention has been paid to Vladivostock
hitherto. There were too many. other
places to look after. Now, however, the
government intends to advance it and
make it one of the first maritime and COM
mercial cities of the world.

THE SUSPECTED FIREBUGS.
Police Hoped for COnfession-Chief
kellogg Expects Conviction.

AeIlOSg Expects ConVicCiOns
There were no new developments yester-
day in the cases of Sophia Kuth, Charles
thurman and wife. who are in jail
charged with arson. Detective Roberts is
still active in working up evidence against
the trio, but it is expected that the officers
will have a great deal of difficulty in pro-
ducing sufficient evidence to secure con-
viction. 1t was the intention of the Off
GERS to make the three arrests separately
and thus the suspects would not be cog
infant Of the Others arrest. In this way
it was expected that pressure would induce
one of the three to confess. in which event
the charges against the other two would
be ciinched.
Fire Chief Kellogg, who swore out the
warrant charging the suspects with arson.
had little to say concerning the matter
yesterday, but evidently believes the pris-
oners will be adjudged guilty, for he says
there is the strongest kind of circumstan-
tial evidence against them.
The police will allow no one to see the
prisoners, and consequently their story of
the origin of the fire could not be obtained.

A Cow Sacrificed by . Train.

The evening train west-bound on the
Lake Shore had narrow escape from
being derailed Yesterday. About a mile
the other side of Latona the engine struck
a COW on the track. and the force of the
collision threw the wheels of the forward
truck from the rails. The engine ran Tor
about iao yards, dragging the COW, before
il could be STOPPED. The humping of the
wheels along the ties could be felt plainly

further than the body of the COW being
horribly mangled. 1t took but short
time to get the derailed truck back on the

Cedar Shingles Gaining Favor.

The following dispatch from Minneapo-
lis published in the last issue of the Chi
cago Iimbermdn shows how popular the
Puget sound cedar shingles are becoming
in the East:
There is a good demand for shingles and the
red cedar stock is coming into favor in a great
degree. Carpenter & Flournoy last week Sc
cured the agency of the Seatco Manufacturing
Company, of Bucoda, WASH, dealers in red
cedar siding, flooring, shingles, and long tim
bers as well. AS an illustration OF the demand,
1t may be added that they sold five car loads
during the first four days. The shows that the
single market is active, and the better grades
are being sold as soop as sawed, almost. The
generous shipments from the Pacific coast, how
ever, are helping out Last week shipments
were delayed by scarcity of cars returning
from the Coast. The red cedar shingles are in
reality becoming competitors from the Coast of
the pine because of the rate that they can be
brought here. They are not crowding out the
white pine variety, but are being sent in to fill
the place of the white pine, which is not plent-
full One reason why orders can be filled by
dealers shipping from the Coast is that they can
handle half car shipments equally as well, by
filling half the car with shingles, for instance,
and the other half with siding, and bring it to
the market here for sale at 81 less than pine

CINNABAR AND GYPSUM.
Ledges Discovered on the Olinda
Ranch.

Ledges Discovered on the Olinda
Ranch.
In the early part OF the week, says
the Fullerton Journal, while workmen
were engaged on the Olinda ranch, two
fine lodges were discovered, one of Gin
nabar and the other of gypsum.
While the ledges have not yet been
developed, it is certain that there are
great quantities of both the minerals
and stone to pay good dividends, if
properaly handled.
If these two finds prove what are ex-
pected of them, a force of men will be
put on and the deposits or beds opened
up and another enterprise will be added
to the many in Orange county.
Cinnabar is native sulphide of mer-
curry and is the only commercial source
of that metal and its compounds. Its
many uses as paint, etc., are we'll
known, and it possesses great CONNER
cial value.
Gypsum has many uses, the princi-
pal one being the manufacture of plas-
ter of Paris. 1t is also used as manure
after being prepared, and there are
many other things which tend to make
the deposit valuable.
The development of these finds will
be watched with interest, and it is
hoped that arrangements will be made
for the constant working OF the ledges
or deposits.

time clock only was required. If l had
been advised of the change OF plans l
would have put in a bid for q CLOCK
without bell for from $1,000 to $Z5OO,
that would have lasted for q hundred
years.
II have no doubt that Mr.. Hansel
furnished the toy to Mr.: Brady for the
$1100 offered me. What was to become
of the other $27OO? ! had even intima-
tions while trying to obtain the contract
that that the clock might cost 5000.
That was narrow escape Tor the tax
payers: ayers so,,,o and
thoroughly posted on tower clocks, will
be to the board of supervisors as the
door knob was to the hen. They may
set on it forever, but they cannot hatch
it into a time-keeper. The old clock
that was taken out Of the old court house
and placed in the Sand-street school, is
worth dozen of the new toy. In fact,
the only redeeming thing as it now
stands is the dials, for they will do for
any clock that may be put into the
dome.
Gas to the sudden change from q
striking clock to time clock, I think
1 have discerned the reason. A
striking clock with bell of from 5000
to 5000 pounds would shake the tower
from its foundations. I hardly think
the tower is strong enough for any kind
of striking clock.
"The electric appliances throughout
the court house are bad. 1t will take
battery OF thousand cells to run the
wall clocks, and all the work that has
been done, aside from the dials, is not
worth 500. The sixty days given Han
sci in which to make the toy 60 might
as we'll have been made sixty years, for
he'll never make it CO."

THAT TENNIS COURT.
Residents of st. James Park Want It
to Remain.

to Remain.
The following letter was yesterday
filed with the park commission.
To the board of park commissioners, Los An
geles, Cal:
GENTLEMEN: 1 have read in today's
HERALD an account of the last meeting
of your board in which it is stated you
had approved plan for the improve
ment of st. James park, contemplating
the destruction of tennis court there
in and the erection of fountain in lieu
thereof.
As one OF the owners of lots in the st.
James Park subdivision, I desire to cali
your attention to the easement included
with the original grant of lots to pur-
chasers, and to state that the principal
reason which induced those who now
live in the park to purchase lots and
build, was the existence of this very
tennis court now proposed to be de-
stroyed, which afforded retired, safe,
and pleasant play ground for our chill
dren, and we have never contemplated
for an instant the prospect of disrup.
tion of that pleasant spot.
The reason that we have refused to
quit-claim to the city our rights in the
park, is because we could obtain no as
surances that this tennis court should
remain intact.
On behalf OF the residents OF st. James
park desire to know whether it is
seriously proposed by your board to in
terfere with this tennis court, as in that
event legal proceedings will be COM
menced for an injunction, in which the
question will be presented, which am
free to confess appears to be an open
one, whether that tennis court bears
such character of real estate as to give
those who have an easement therein, a
perpetual right of enjoyment. remain
yours very respectfully,
HoLDRIDGE o. COLLINS.
Los Angeles, March 81.
