tide of battle would sweepsover that point
Of the field. He rpse slowly to his feet
and stood for a time watching the scene
and mingling the smoke of his cigar with
the smoke OF battle without making any
comment. His horse was In, charge Of an

Mira. Murphy Of Providence Struck ny IN,
Attleboro Car While Driving.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Margaret
Murphy of Branch avenue, Providence,
came to this city, bringing her infant
aged 10 months and engaged horse aud
buggy from Michael Cavanaugh, the
Broadway liveryman, to make a call on
friends.
As she was returning about $40 p. m,
via Hamilton street, the horse was struck
by North Attleboro car and knocked
down; the forward wheels of the buggy
and the axle were broken and Mrs. MUIR
ply and the child thrown out. Consider
Ing the nature of the accident, the escape
from serious injury was remarkable. Mrs.
Murphy was, aside from the shock, vir-
tually uninjured and the child escaped
without scratch. The horse was slight
ly cut.
The car was in charge of Conductor
Joseph III. Hatton and Moterman Archie
l.. Stone and according to the reports of
bystanders, running at an ordinary rate
of speed. Owing to the dampness, the
rails were very slippery and the car could
not be brought to a stop as quickly as
usual.

CHILD'SBODl FOUND
Case Of Suspected Infanticide
Unearthed Last Night.
Two Young Women Discovered
Burying a Body.
An Autopsy Was Held Today by Medical
Examiner French-ChiId Not Born Alive.

Soon after 8 o'clock last evening Con-
stantine McCaffrey and James Collins were
engaged in conversation at the corner of
Rand and Watson streets, Central Falls.
They saw two women acting suspiciously
In the sand lots and decided to investi-
gate matters. They were Mortified to find
the undressed body Of an infant lying be-
meath thin covering Of sand. The police
department was at once notified, and Ser
geant Louks and Officer Hanrahan assumed
charge of the case.
Medical Examiner French was notified
of the discovery, and he viewed the re-
mains at the rooms of Undert aker l.. g.
Phillips, to which place tn body had
been taken. This morning an autopsy
was held, Drs. A. G. Randall and William
Gottschalk assisting the Medical Ex-
aminer.
The autopsy revealed the fact that there
was no life In the body when 1t made its
appearance into this world. Drs. French
and Gottschalk said that at first glance
at the infant one would be led to believe
that the infant had been born alive, the
indications were SO positive.
The medical examiner ordered the body
to be buried. No definite clue has been
found by the police as to who the women
were that buried the child, but they are
working upon one which they think will
point out the right parties.

some especially SO. WALL Sloan as J..
Julius Snitz was excellent, and his talk
and manner displayed excellent character
work.
His tramp speciality, in which he intro
duces dancing of every sort was received
with great favor and he was repeatedly
encored.
His partner, Charles B. Ward, sang sew
eral of his own songs and his rendering of
"The Band Played On" is revelation.
He was obliged to sing several times be-
fore the audience would let him leave
the stage.
Louise Montrese, the soubret of the
company captured the audience very
quickly; there is something very winning
about he personality, she sings well and
dances better. Her feet are never still and
she is full of dash, and in addition, is a
very pretty girl.
John b. Murphy is an impossible do
mestic of the "Aunt Bridget" style and
general fun making.
Elsie Mueller adds a touch of dainty re-
finement to the play and Estel3e Gilbert
acts the part of a strong minded woman
i'm way that those who have encountered
that sort of female will find realistic.
The remainder Of the company contribute
successfully to the humorous production.

sons made their appearance, and, with
out warning. began TO fire into the crowd
of helpless and unsuspecting negroes,
killing five Of them. Theforeman claims
that he did not recognize any Of the as
