HER BABE A SACRIFICE.

Crazed by religion, Mrs. Elias Gid
ner, at Allentown, Pa, Sunday night
sacrificed the life of her babe to ap-
pease the wrath of a supposed angry
Deity. The child was suffocated, its
little body had been badly beaten and
the tiny ankles were hacked with
butcher knife. The mother is now in
q hospital.
Mrs. Gildner's insanity dates back
four or five years and her condition las
been constantly growing worse On
September Il, her six-yesr-old son,
Charles, was beheaded by train on
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Will pick
ing coal. Since then Mrs. Glldlt + has
been much worse.
She seems, Judging from her r. arks,
to be crazy on religious subjects. The
three weeks-old infant was one of q
family of nine children, apparently
great favorite in the family circle and
among the neighbors. Sunday even
log, the child was slightly i'll and the
father gave him dose of medicine
and then started out 10 his work in d
foundry, where he is engaged on the
night shift.
On his way home yesterday morn.
ing one of his daughters came running
down the street to meet him, and with
tears streaming down her cheeks she
said
Papa, baby is dead"
Gildner could hardly believe the
news, but fastened home. In the
kitchen he found the baby dead in the
cradle, apparently in the same position
as be had left it, but with the face dis.
colored and the features distorted.
Over the cradle stood the insane
mother gloating over her deed, which
she said was done TO please God. Turn
ing to his wife, Gildner said: "Mary,
why did you do this?"
But the only answer he received
was, 1.-THE child is dead, and God
has taken it away" Gildner tried to
press his wife for further explanation
of the horrible deed, but she refused to
answer, and shortly after left the house
and walked hurriedly up the street.
She returned a short time later, and
more than once g,ve expression
10 her satisfaction over her
deed. The body was still warm and
the little ones death had only occur
red a short time before. When Coroner
Yost arrived he made an examination
of the child's injuries, and found that
it had been sutfocated by holding the.
band over its nose and mouth. This
produced the distorted features and the
discoloration of the face. The abdo-
men was in badly confused state, and
large clots of blood collected under the
skin, indicating that blows had been
inflicted with a blunt Instrument.
Both ankles had been hacked with
butcher knife, and blood flowed freely
from the veins. The coroner's Jury did
not hold Mrs. Gildner responsible, but
recommended her removal to the hos
pital, which was done.

Foreign News.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Westminis
ter Gazette commenting upon the
charges made against the New York
Yacht Club by Lord Dunraven says
Lord Dunraven's conduct is not only
irritating and childish, but it gives the
American public an excuse for alleging
that it is the practice of British sports
men when they lose to slang the UNI
pire and accuse their opponents OF
cheating. The St. James Gazette re-
peats that the bringing of deliberate
accusation of foul play weeks after the
event is altogether unfair, besides being
deplorably injudicious and unpatriotic.

Italy demanding that the Porte's
scheme for reform in Armenia be Off

it was not long before the church was

not the finest ever rendered in church.

CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.

Judge Organ, of the county court
of Lunenburg, has not wavered in his
purpose to have the Pollard murderers
brought before him and op Saturday
ordered Sheriff NJ. c. Cardoza to return
to Richmond and bring all four of them
before him, together with City
Sergeant Charles S. Epps, who is to
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt.
Sheriff Cardoza arrived at the Rich
mond courthouse Sunday night, having
demanded his prisoners of Sergt. Epps
and been refused. He reported to
Judge Organ Immediately upon his
arrival, but his honor had been pre-
viously informed of the executive act
by Mr.. Carter Johnson, the Governors
special messenger, and had written
reply to the Governors letter positively
declining to rescind his order that the
prisoners be brought before him.
Sheriff Cardoza is expected in Rich
mond again to-day. In the meantime
Judge Wexford OF the city circuit court
has granted the prisoners q writ OF
habeas corpus, returnable Wednesday.
A dispatch from Richmond says the
action Saturday night of Governor
O'Ferrall in ordering the city sergeant
of Richmond not to deliver to the sher-
iff of Lunenburg, Solomon Marable,
with three negro women convicted OF
the murder of Mrs. Pollard, and the
temporary injunction issued by Judge
Wexford, of the Circuit Court. to the
same effect and to be heard Wednes-
day, will probably result in bringing
this whole subject to the attention OF
the Court of Appeals. That tribunal
opened its fall session in Richmond to-
day.
