A DEAD INFANT.
BODY OF a NEWBORN BABE
FOUND BY THE TRINITY.
Evidently the Work of Guilty Pair to
Cover Up Act of shame-PolIce
Investigating.

Yesterday at noon two little girls who re-.
| side on Florence street, Pearl Savage and
Maggie Chesut were walking under the
Arlington Heights bridge that spans the
Clear Fork of the Trinity on West Seventh
street, and noticing bundle in their path
investigated, and to their amazenent
found the body of a new born baby bow.
They Immediately notified the conductor on
passing car who upon his arrival in the
city informed Chief of Police Maddox.
Officer Maddox at once Summoned the
patrol wagon, and accompanied by Robert
b. WAGNER and a GLzETTE reporter. re-
paired to the point mentioned. There.
wrapt In a piece Of white cloth, covered
over with filthy grass sack, weighted
down on the sand by brick and piece of
wood, was found baby boy, weight about
eight pounds, fully developed and finely
formed, dead. No marks of violence were.
found, and the unfortunate infant was in
the same condition as it came into the
world, never having received the slightest
attention.
1t had evidently been placed there nv
some unnatural human being at an early
hour yesterday morning, and it could. of
course, not be ascertained whether or not
the child had been murdered, orwas ifeIess
when 1t came into the world.
IL was taken TO the undertaking estab-
lishment of Wilkes II Cause, and after be-
ing viewed by Justice McClung an order
was issued for its burial.
The officers have not the slightest clev as
to VINO the guilty persons are who were so
heartleSs as TO attempt to make wav with the
infant, but are satisfied it was done in an
effort to cover up-perhaps scandal of no
small magnitude. Who knows9
OmeeFS are on a still hunt for a clew to
the guilty parties.

BROWNWOOD COUNTRY.
THE GAZETTE CHATS WITH a
PROMINENT CITIZEN
About That Prosperous Country - An
1soO-Foot Artesian weII-UtIIIz-
ing Natural Gas.

Professor Carl Vincent, secretary of the
Brentwood board of trade, was a visitor
in the city yesterday. In conversing witt
GAZETTE reporter on general topics, thu
gentleman said Brownwood was still boom.
ing and bright future was near at hand
Mr.. Vincent is intimately identified with
the educational interests of Brownwood
and naturally referred to school and col.
lege affairs. Said he:
There are over twelve hundred students
in attendance at the college and public
schools Of our city, under the tutorage OF
thirty-five teachers and professors.
Our city IS going to utilize the natural
gas of the Texas-Colorado oil company
wells. The gas from these wells has been
burning the past seven months; now it is
to be used for lighting the streets of
Brownwood. The gas is and has been used
some time IN propeling the machinery of
the company.
The same company has struck fine
flow OF arteSian water at depth of 1900
feet, which has good mineral properties
and is as clear as crystal.
Preparations are being made already for
holding fair in September, and we pro-
pose to make it excel the Dallas state exhi-
bition. We have the best mile track in the
state and is so conceded by horsemen.
"a project is now on foot to build a large
hotel in Brownwood at an estimated cost of
SIoUUU. we need MOTEL OF this sort badly,
and we propose to have 1t soon.
1.-THE Episcopalian and Christian denomi-
nations are to build fine houses of worship
at cost of from S12, 600 to SIS, 900 each; our
town, you see, leads in Christian as well as
in educational affairs
politics don't seem to bother our people
much, but we're for Mills. Hogg has quite
strong following; think Clark is in the
lead, but Mills is the man for senator-he
stands well with the Brownwood people.
'Brownwood is rapidly growing and is
bound to become one of the leading towns
in the state of Texas The mountains about
US are full Of minerals, the farming inter-
ests are rapidly developing. and the influx
of immigration is principally from the
Northern and Southern states. We want
farmers and the country is open to them"
Mr.. Vincent returned to his home last
evening after taking in the cattlemen's con-
vention at the opera house and eating bar
becued meats to his hearts content.

THE GOULD PARTY.
THEY. GAME AND LOOKED AND
So WENT AWAY AGAIN.
A Brief rStay, but Time is Money to the
Railroad Prince - Improve
ments in Mind.

Jay Gould and his party who have been
circulating around promiscuously for the
past ten days no one not on the ''inside''
knowing where they would stop until a stop
was made, landed in the Texas and Pacific
yards in this city yesterday morning be-
tween and O'Clock. But few knew Mr..
Gould was coming, and none knew the ex-
act hour, so few prominent citizens with
GAZETTE reporter on the Side) ''laid for''
the railway and financial magnate After
the stop was made the party partook of
breakfast on the dining car, after which
Mr.. Gould and the ge tlemen members
of the party went for a stroll through the
yards (THE GAZETTE man strolled, too).
Mr.. Gould said but little on this trip, being
IS4seFE busy noting the condition of things
gener lily and lodging moving trains and
switch engines, and this latter exercise
kept MIN so busy that an interview was
among the impossibilities.
AT the expiration of three-quarters of an
hour the party had returned to the Union
depot called this for courtesy, where the
reporter joined Mr. Gould in his promenade
kup and down the platform, and endeavored
sto get an expression as to what his business
was here, and if he contemplated anything
In the improvement line, either in rail
roads or buildings, and mentioned the fact
that it had been whispered that a new
union depot was among the possibilities.
He, looking at the platform as he walked,
shook his head and remarked that he hadn't
heard it, but that there was some talk of
putting a new floor in the chief dispatcher's
Office this summer. He further remarked
he was not constructing any roads in
Texas just now, simply looking over what
he had, and that his trip was more for
the benefit of his health than anything else.
OF course, after looking over the situation,
when he returned to New York there was
Modelling what he might do. He was
Ittss1te well pleased with the outlook now.
and intiinated that Fort Worth would be
remembered-becauseh he loved Fort Worth
and Fort Worth people.
The reporter informed him that there
was to be big barbecue at Col. Hoxie's
packing establishment, and asked if he
could not make it convenient to attend, and
told him of the hundreds of cautlemen that
would be there-men who paid him hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars yearly for the
privilege of letting their beeves ride
over his roads, to all of which he replied
that he regretted very much his inability to
attend, especially as he would like TO meet
his friend, Col. Hoxie, and said that If his
programme had not been otherwise ar
ranged he would spend the day in the city. |
At 1880 the train pulled out for the |
West. the next stopping place being in the |
neighborhood of Baird, and the next some
where else.
