AN ABANDONED BABE.
Graded In a Satchel and Left In Car
at the Union Depot In St. Louis.


ST.. LOUIS, Feb. "A baby about one
week old was found in satchel in
car at the Union depot Saturday morn
ing. The child was alive, holes being
cut in the sa atchel to give it air. The
car in which the infant was found was
the chair-car OF the Frisco train, which
arrived from the west at $50 o'clock
Saturday morning. Fred Woerheide,
a private watchman for the Terminal
Railroad association, was the discov-
erer. He was going through the train
after the passengers had left the
coaches, as is the custom, when he
espied the supposedly-forgotten bag
gage beneath the seat in the chair-car.
He picked it up and subdued sound
resembling an infants cry startled
him. Examining the satchel he found
the holes cut in the side of it and he
made up his mind that it was case of
abandoned babe. The watchman took
the satchel to Depot Matron Mrs
Fraser, vino opened it and discovered a
bright male child not over a week old.
A bottle of milk with nursing appa-
ratus was with the child. The infant
was neatly dressed in white and
wrapped in a child's blanket, which
had border Of red. Mrs. Fraser gave
the baby into the charge of Sergt.
O'Malley, and he assigned Officer Kass-
ing to take it to st. AIMS asylum at
Tenth and Biddle streets
The police will endeavor to find out
who left the infant, though there is
not much likelihood that they will be
successful. The train was through
train from California. The satchell is
of black material, twenty-five inches
long, foot wide and ten inches deep.

be done Chicago will find itself
on the brink of financial pre-

A Frightfui Calamity ut Gate City, Ala
bams-Fifty Persons More OF Less In
tured by the Collapse OF . Church In
Which n Christian Endeavor Meeting
was Being Held-Scverai Already Dead
Damages and Death Elsewhere,
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Feb. A tornado
swept over northern Mississippi, late
yesterday afternoon, leaving destruc-
tion in its path. The wires were pros
trated, and it is impossible to secure
particulars except from few points.
The wind came up from the southwest
and passed through the northeastern
portion of the state, crossing the Ala
bama line near Columbus, Miss, where
the most serious damage is reported so
far. Half dozen buildings were
wrecked in Columbus, trees uprooted,
fences blown down and the streets
strewn with debris. In the vicinity of
Macon and Artesia, Miss, the farmers
suffered great loss, but the extent OF
the, damage cannot be learned, owing
to the prostration of the wires. No
lives were lost as far as is known.
Worse Than 1t First Supposed.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 5.-A special
to the Commercial from Birmingham.
Ala, says: Further details of Satur-
days storm which swept over this Sec
tion of North Alabama shows the dam
age to have been far greater than was
at first supposed.
At North Birmingham dozen houses
were blown down. James Smith, a
railroad section foreman, was fatally
wounded by the roof of his house fall
ing in. His wife and children escaped
with less serious injury.
At East Lake road three depots were
blown down.
The worst damage was at Gate City,
where the Congregational church
was blown down. The Christian En-.
deavor society, with fifty persons in
attendance, was holding meeting, and
not one of them escaped unhurt.
Mrs. r. H. Pritchard was crushed
by falling beams and died at mid.
night. She was the wife OF
the superintendent of the Alabama
rolling mills, and her home was at Iron.

wounded; Charles Wilson will die
from his injuries; Richard Miles had
leg broken; Will Bears skull was
fractured; Jams Miles knee was broken;
Miss Anna Birdsall's spine was in
jured; James Hartshorn received per-
haps fatal injuries internally; Rever
East was badly hurt, and from thirty
to forty Others received injuries of a
minor character.
When the tornado struck the
church the building collapsed, the
roof falling in solid mass on the con.
gregation. The strong pews partially
broke the fall, or every person in the
house would doubtlessly have been
crushed to death. Axes had to be used
in releasing many who were under the
debris
Nearly every house in Gate City was
more or less damaged by the storm.
An immense amount of timber in the
track of the storm was destroyed. The
damage willamount to large sum.
At East Birmingham church and
school building was wrecked. Near
Choccolocco tree fell on Mrs. j. F.
McDowell's house, killing her instant.
