ITS PARENTS ARE MURDERERs
Det ectives Searching for the Unnatural
Mother of the Abandoned Babe.

Mother OF the Abandoned Babe.
The death of the infant from exposure
which was found in a vacant lot at Mar
ket and Twelfth streets, makes the case
one of murder, and Captain Lees has de-
tailed several of the best men in the de-
partment to make an investigation and if
possible bring the guilty parents to JUS
tice.
All the men working on the case are OBJ
serving the utmost reticence, and owing to
this fact it would appear that the detec-
tives are working on a blind trail. 1t is
known, however, that some faint clews
have been obtained and 1t Is to be hoped
that the whole wretched story may come
TO light
The most i'm mportant clew in the hands
of the detectives is the mark of Chinese
laundry on the towel IN which the baby
was wrapped before being placed in the
satchel. The detectives decline to state
whether or not they have found the laun-
dry, but It is fair to infer that they have.
After having found the laundry it would
be comparatively simple matter to find
the owner OF the towel and the unnatural
mother of the murdered baby.
Another clew which may assist the de-
detectives in their search is large birth
mark on the left hip of the babe. They
will endeavor to find physician who has
attended the birth of a similarly marked
baby, and naturally he would be able to
inform the detectives as to the parents iden-
tity. At the instance of Captain Lees an
autopsy was held on the infants body by
DR.. J. S. Barrett last evening. 1t was
found that the baby had died of exhaustion
and inability to take food, and that the
condition which caused death was due to
the cruel exposure to which the tiny child
had been subjected.

Stricken Suddenly After Supper
With Congestion of
the Brain.
NOW A TRIP TO ENsENADA.
Dangerous Illness of One of the Lega.
tees and Executors of James
G. Fair Will.

| Louis Bresse, one of the executors of,
and legatee, to the extent of $40, 900, in
the original James G. Fair will, must soon
be removed to Ensenada for complete re-
pose. The young man who for many
years was private secretary for Mr.. Fair
has so overworked himsel during the past
few months, since the death of his en-
poyer and friend, that he has been at last
stricken with congestion of the brain. He
has been SO i'll that for time Drs. TAFT
and Luke Robinson almost despaired of
saving his life.
He was stricken suddenly week ago
Sunday. AS usual, on that day he and
his wife dined at the home of General An
drade, his father-in-law. They were ac-
companied by DR.. TAFT, family friend
and physician, who, later on, went with
them to their own home, when he decided
to occupy a room which had been set apart
for him ever since the young couple went
into their new house.
To this fact and that the doctor had his
satchel of instruments with him, 1T is
probably due that Louis Bresse is still
alive.
The trio had light late supper, after
which the doctor, feeling tired, retired to
his room. He had hardly disrobed before
the screams of Mrs. Bresse brought him TO
the side Of her husband, VINO on rising
from the table had fallen to the carpet un-
conscious.
DR.. Tat secured his lancet and bled the
young man, whose life was saved by the
operation. But he remained unconscious
and in raging fever for twenty-four
hours.
DR.. Luke Robinson and DR.. TAFT re-
mained by the bedside of the patient until
two days ago watching every phase of his
delerium, and eventually they pulled him
through. But they have declared he must
shake himself away from the intricacies OF
the Fair will case and the management of
the business of the Fair estate. Hence the
proposed trip to Enseneda, on which he
will be accompanied by DR.. TAFT.

DYING FROM POISON.
Two Causes That Led Pretty Allie
Pomber to Swallow a Dose of
CarbOIic Acid.

Carbolic Acid.
Allie Pomber, pretty girl about 10 years
OF age, is dying at the Receiving Hospital
from carbolic-acid poisoning
Several months ago she came to the City
from Castroville, Monterey County, and
procured position. as waitress in the res
taurant 206 McAllister street. She worked
there till Wednesday afternoon, when she
was discharged.
She had beer living with Mrs. Hoy, at
19o hyde street, and late yesterday after
noon she swallowed a dose of carDolic acid.
Shrieking with pain, she rushed out of her
room into the hallway and told one of the
maze roomers what she had done. He
asked her what had caused her to do it,
ana she said she had gone to a doctor and
he had told her she was in a delicate con-
olJion. This, coupled with the loss of her
poSitlon, made her resolve to end her life
Inc patrol wagon was summoned and
she was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where everything was done by DR.. Fitz-
glbbon to save her life. The doctor, how
ever, said that she could not recover.

oor fellows lay crushed under the awful

poor fellows lay crushed under the awful
weight.
From every side rushed men shouting
and excited beyond measure. The cloud
of dust was gone and they were instantly
upon the scene, tearing away the fallen
mass to rescue their unfortunate COM
rades. In few minutes Smith and Len
nan were extricated from the debris and
removed to the Receiving Hospital in the
police patrol-wagons.
Lennan's only apparent injury was a
confusion of the right leg, but he seemed
TO be suffering from the shock to his sys-
tenn, as he Is an old man.
Smith was supposed to be fatally in
jured. Six of his ribs were fractured, his
chest was crushed in, his right arm broken
and his left shoulder dislocated He was
also injured internally. DR.. Thompson
expressed the opinion that Smith could
notlive many hours. His wife was soon
at his bedside and tenderly nursed him.
HE has been hard working man all
his life," she said, ''and it is hard to lose
him now when times are so dull. He had
been out OF work for some time and we
were thankful when he got the Job on
Monday to clean the bricks at the old
sugar refinery. He is about Sc years of
age. Our children are all grown up. Two
OF them are living with US, but the others
are married"
Smith was not able to give any account
OF the accident, but Lehman said: 1--WE
were cleaning the bricks below when the
accident happened. They were tearing
down the south wall, and / heard some
one call to those above to look out for the
men cleaning the bricks, and heard them
shout back that they would. A moment
later there was crashing noise, and l was
struck by falling bricks and stunned.
~ am sorry for my wife. When left
her to go to work this morning there was
only nickel in the house, and | don't
know what she will do now that am laid
up"
The old building was the Golden Sugar
Refinery in earlier days, and was closed
for nearly twenty years. 1t belongs to
the Luning estate, and is being torn down
by 5. q. Buzzell for J. Noonan, whose
store on Mission street was burned down
recently.
The bricks are to be used in the con-
structior of building for Noonan, and
while cleaning them Smith and Lehman
were injured.

8 MI VI SION
PURE COD LIVER OIL
WITH PHOSPHATES

Cures consumption, coughs, colds, asth-
ma, bronchitis, debility, wasting diseases
and all scrofulous humors. Almost as
palatable as cream. 1t can be taken with
pleasure by delicate persons and children,
who, after using it, become very fond of it.
It assimilates with the food, increases the
flesh and appetite, builds up the nervous
system, restores energy to mind and body,
creates new, rich and pure blood; in fact,
rejuvenates the whole system. Flesh,
Nerve, Blood, Brain. This preparation is
far superior to all other preparations OF
Cod Liver Oil; it has many imitators, but
no equals. The results following its use are
its best recommendations. Be sure, as you
value your health, and get the genuine.

gets it, having power to do as 1t pleases
without fear of interstate difficulties.
Then it is SO literally supported by the
Canadian Government it can carry freight
even lower than the present ruinous rates,
which don't give living for anybody.
"This railway is rapidly absorbing the
carrying business between Eastern and
Pacific Coast cities of the United States,
and the American roads can do nothing
against it. Our lines may be classed as
private enterprises. The Canadian is vir-
tually a Government railroad. So the
inequality of the roads is apparent.
Everything that would tend to bring
business to the line is taken advantage of.
The Pacific Ocean presents vast field of
possibilities, and the Canadian company
is fgh ting for business in the Orient, in
Australia, New Zealand and Honolulu. In
1895 its tonnage of tea from the Orient
amounted to 100000 pounds-22H per
cent of the total importation of lea
through the Pacific Coast gateways.
Then it is getting a larger share of the
freight out to the Orient. Its interests are
so closely associated with American in
terests on the Great Lakes the company is
able to find powerful influence in Wash
ington."
The Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company, the Great Northern, the North
ern Pacific and the Southern Pacific lines
are all deeply interested in the question
introduced by Senator Elkins in Congress
looking toward the revocation of the bond
ing privilege now enjoyed by the Canadian
Pacific.
Senator Elkins in a recent speech in the
Senate said:

enemy of the transportation interests of the

The Bnildinx Trades.

The Building Trades Council met last even
ing ana listened to the reports of the business
agents. Several jobs around town were stated
to have been mixed, but by the efforts of the
agents were unionized. There are still num-
Der to be looked after where the non-union
men declined to affiliate with the unions of
their calling. From the general tone of the
statements it is safe to say that the working
card issued by the council is finding less oppo,
sltlon since 1t is better understood by the con-
tractors and the general pu blic. The election
