A DESERTED BABE

The Young Mother of Two Months
Old Child Leaves 1t to

The two months old child OF Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Newman of 81 Hardy place very nearly per-

its mother. II was found IN the room over a
livery stable at the number given by Officer
Greening almost dying from the heat, covered
with files and nearly starving
While the officer ran for bottle OF milk some
OF the neighbors who had been called IN did
the best they could for the little one, and it
was soon taken, cradle and all, In the patrol
wagon to the Receiving Hospital, where 1t was
washed and fed by Police Matron Evans.
The child was most diminutive piece OF
humanity, pos sibly the smallest baby ever seen
In the hospital, and upon its arrival here 1t was
covered with fly specks, but somewhat bright
ened up with the milk IL had imblbed on the
way down In the wagon.
The father of the child Is the driver of a

Some OF the neighbors informed the officer
that they had seen Mrs. Newman leave the

had not returned in the interval up TO $50
o'clock, when the dying babe was found.

for them to build nests OF their own. One
of these-she is no longer with US. alas
was the light of her home. Nature had
bestowed upon her radiant beauty OF so
delicate type that 1t was joy simply to
watch her face. To this inexu6eranf gen.
erosity, providence bad added the finest
perceptions and acute reasoning power, so
that it was often said she had the mind of
man. 1t was indeed rare to encounter a
member of the sex whose judgment was
as clear or as sound. She dsdained the
cultivation of the ordinary accomplish
ments Of her sex; she cared little for
music, or art or dancing; but she was an
omnivor0us reader of solid literature. and
on grave topics she had stocked her mind
with such stores of knowledge that in gen.
eral conversation she was reticent from
fear of humiating others by showing how
much she knew.
Sne was the gentlest being alive and
the most loving. Full OF tact, she never
said the word that wounds, and never
fOrbore the word which soothes She was
not obtruslve of kind offices, but whenever
in her own circle sorrow called for conso-
lation or sickness needed nursing she
came to the front at any sacrifice of con-
venience or personal pleasure. Her soul
was as intrepid as her heart was tender.
She stood ready to run any risks of con-
tagion or disease In order TO tend those
she loved. Nor did she quail at the
thought of suffering or death. More than
a year ago 1t became known to her that
her life hung by thread; that while she
might live for years the dread disease
which had planted It's roots in her heart
might at any time bring her days to sud-
den close. She met the prospect with the
chlvalrous gallantry of knight of old.
For her noble soul death had no terrors.
If it had to come let it come, meanwhile
she would exhaust herself in endeavors to
make those who surrounded her happy.
Latterly she had warnings OF the end.

nesses who appeared before the Grand Jury
were: Columbus Waterhouse, d. S. Dorm,
Charles Sleeper and Z. Bellerman.
In the indictments the Grand Jury stated at
length The manner in which the all ged crimes
were committed. showing that there was abso-
lutely no doubt OF The intention of the McDon-
aid brothers 10 deceive the Bank Commits
sioners. While the bank had less than 100000
of its own money in its possession, each OF the
brothers stated upon his oath that the amount
stated above was in the vaults of the ms l.
tuition.
An indictment for robbery was also returned
against John McShay. McShay held up Joseph

him OF two purses and a small amount of

Although this gentleman played very clever
game and bowled very accurately, he failed to
