Infants Found.

Two abandoned infants. one dead and
the other alive. We're found ard turned
over to the police yesterday. The live
child was found on the doorstep at the
house of Theodore Gerhardt, No. 715 18th
street southeast This colorad founding
was probably a month DID, and was wrap
ped in some old clothing. 1t is thought
that the child was probably left there by
its mother, who cared little whether the
young one lived died. The child had
been left there sometime during the night,
end was out in the rain long enough to
have died. Early in the morning the infant
was found when milk was delivered at the
house, and Sergeant Wright found q COL
ored woman who was willing to care for
the young one.
Last night near the foot of New Jersey
avenue Policemen Andrews and Richards
made a CHASTITY find. The body of an in
FAINT In box was found In the marsh,
and 1t Is thought likely that the box had
been thrown In sewer and had fioated
ashore after being washed into the river
An effort Is being made to ascertain the
owner of the box in which the decomposed
body was found.

He Was COastinE.

Yesterday afternoon Charles Scott,
colored wheelnsan. felt fiattered when
good-looking man rode beside him and paid
him compliment because of the cool
speed he was making while coasting down
18th street and Pennsylvania avenue. The
stranger was well dressed, and why he
should have selected the colored wheelman
as riding companion Charles could not
understand until he learned that the
stranger was Policeman Estes, a member
OF the bicycle squad. and that he (ScotD
was under arrest.
Il didn't know / was violating the law"
Scott told Judge Kimball today. Il knew
II was against the law to ride without a
light, but L didn't know I'd get arrested
for coasting."
The judge told him that a number of
wheelmen had paid fines for the very same
thing, and he would have to pay five dol
lars for his lesson.

A deliberate attempt at double suicide
was made Saturday evening by a husband
and wife, after thirty years Of happy mar
ried life. Poverty was the cause Of the
rash act, and Mr.. and Mrs jeremiah Nc
Knew the parties. The attempt was made
in room at BOG Pennsylvania avenue con-

couple had been staying for a week past.
and was partially successful, Mrs. Nc

Is on the road to recovery and is now at
the home of his brother, Benjamin P. Nc
Knew, 2112 G street northwest.
Mr.. Mcknew came to this city about
seven years ago and until recently was
proprietor of the Slater House, at the cor
ner of I'd and streets, but his business
gradually declined and he gave up the
hotel business and took charge of the din
ing rooms at the Hanover Hotel. Sickness
compelled him to relinQuish that position
and since then he had been drifting from
bad to worse. Mrs. McKnew had been at
work with a family at Takoma Park, but
ing for livelihood, and SO at last the
couple saw no other plan open but to end
their lives.
Mr.. McKnew Saturday evening called to
formed her that his wife was dead Po-
liceman Reynolds was called, and noting
the situation he summoned DR.. Hickling.
The latter did all in his power to better
the condition of the unfortunate woman,
life not then being extinct, and her hus-
band, and later had them removed to the
Emergency Hospital, where DR.. McGrath
and his assistants labored for several hours
to overcome the effects Of the poison, but
without avail in the case of Mrs. McKnew.
In the room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
McKnew a letter was found stating that
they had concluded to take their lives, and
adding that they wanted their bodies to
go to a medical college. They added that
they wanted no flowers. ministers nor
priests.
When informed of his wife's death, Mr.
Mcknew remarked that 1t is only a ques-
ton of time until he shall follow her, and
that he is sorry the attempt to end his life
did not succeed. The remains of the dead
woman were taken to Lees undertaking
establishment, where funeral services of a
private character were held this morning.
Mr.. Benjamin McKnew was very much
distressed when informed Of the action of
his brother and sister-in-law, and claimed
that he knew absolutely nothing of their
penEiless condition.

A BAD INDIAN KILLED.
THE TERROR OF SOUTHERN ARIZONA
AND NEW MEXICO.


The war department has been
notified that Massia, the rene>
gade Apache chief, has been
slain in Southern Arizona by ln>
dian scouts. Massia killed three
scouts before he gave up The
ghost. The passing off of Massia
will be heard with delight by all
of the inhabitants of Southern
Arizona and New Mexico, for he
was a red handed murderer
treacherous, and powerful, with
disorderly element of the San
Carlos red skins. He was one OF
Geronimo's braves, and succeeds
ed to that Chiefs authority
among the Renegades. Massla's
specially was the attacking OF
mote ranches, slaughtering the
| white men and women, and driv-
ing the cattle over the Mexican
border. He was captured with
Geronimo in 1886 and started
for Vernon Barracks, Fla, where
by order of the President the
| band was to be confined. At St
Louis Massia escaped from the
train and was never reCaptured

FIGURES AND OMENS.


The customary weekly report
has been published by the Nc
Kinley managers, and now, as
from the first, he leads the field
by such a distance that all hopes
of the success of his rivals would
seem to the onlooker to have
vanished. By one estimate he IS
credited with 5o2 votes and by
another with a mum Der somewhat
smaller, but yet by a majority
sufficiently large to insure his
nomination on the first or at
least the second ballot.
For the first time since the
active commencement of the
campaign, the 1nathematiclans
for the opponents of Mckinley
are silent. They give forth nc
figures with regard to the
strength OF the allied forces. Ane
behind this silence there is sale
to be a dark and deep conspiracy
by which the Ohioan's majority
is to vanish just at the moment
when success is within his grasp
The Morton-Reed- Allison Plat
arithmeticians are to give up the
task at which they have beer
engaged for SO many weeks with
such little success in convincing
the public.
In the meantime the reader o.
political omens has come to the
front. And he, too, would seem
to be on the side of the undivid'
ed opposition. He is uninter'
ested, like all philosophers, O
course, and hence the people may
Iread, with interest and withou
bias, what he has to say. One o
the class points out, for example
that the only Presidents eve.
elected who were the choice o
their party before the nomina
ton were Washington, Jefferson
and Madison; Monroe, jackson
land Lincoln Second terms
lGrant and Cleveland (secont
/, terms), Further, it is showl
=. that in the last five Republican
Iconventions the field has beate1
the favorite every time, excep
in 1892.
4 The reader can make up hi
mind as to the worth of thes
i figures and omens.
