MysterIousIy Disappeared.

There is detained at the children's pris-
on in the Oakland avenue police station,
three and half year old baby girl
whose parents cannot be found. This
morning Mrs. Mary Foley, of No. 446
Newark avenue, reported to the police of
the Seventh street station, that last Sat-
urday evening the child was left at her

inches tall, of dark complexion, wearing
a black dress, black cape, dark sailor
hat and having short, dark curly hair
appeared at her door and asked If sh
could engage furnished rooms Of her.
Mrs Foley replied in the affirmative. The
price to be paid was quickly arranged.
and the stranger requested Mrs. Foley to
keep her child until she could go to the
Five Corners and get sufficient money to
pay the room rent. Mrs. Foley consent
ed and the woman disappeared.
AS the hours rolled by and the woman
did not return. the child began to grow
uneasy and cry for its mothsr- Mrs. Mrs. Foley
deavoring to convince her that her
mother would return shortly. Mrs Foley
concluded that the woman had lost her
way or something of that sort.
When Sunday and Monday passed and
the woman failed to return, Mrs. Foley
became convinced that the child had been
abandoned and left to her tender mercy.
Mrs Foley would like to keep the child,
but circumstances will not permit her.
From the child Mrs. Foley has learned
that her name is Mamie Haff In what
part of the city she lived she cannot tell
The police have taken charge Of the
abandoned infant temporarily. Chief
Murphy has detailed two detectives to

ter Of Mrs. Lille Green. Farrell is the

WASHINGTON. June 15 1S97.-The de-
struction of the immigration station on
Ellis Island last night by fire, was a
serious loss to the service. Important
and expensive improvements had just
been finished and the officials regarded it
as the finest plant used for similar pur-
pose in existence Commissioner General
stump left for New York at noon today
the station to the Barge Office, where
temporary quarters will be secured. AS
slstant Secretary Howell will go to New
fork this evening to consult customs Of
hclals as to new quarters for the present
occupants of the barge office, and it is
expected that there viii be no, great diff
Guilty in .effecting a change that will be
reasonably satisfactory to all until more
permanent arrangements can be made
Ellis Island is regarded by the officials
as the pest and most available site for
an Immigrant station in the vicinity of
New York, and Assistant Secretary
Spauiding expressed the opinion today
that Congress would be required to make
an appropriation of at least $780, 900 to re-
build the plant. Several of the old build
ings were wood. and it is intended to
replace them by practically fireproof
structures OF brick or stone. The I'M
mlgrau ton Bureau now has to its credit
about S22o.000, which has accumulated
from the head tax on immigrants, but it
is doubtful whether the department would
consent to this fund being used for the
purpose OF rebuilding. AS soon as AS
sistant Secretary Spaulding Howell and
Commissioner Stump return to Washing
ton a scheme for rebuilding the station
Will be prepared and presented to Con-
gress for its action.

FINED FOR WHAT !?
Watches Gone, Man Suspicious,
But What Was His Crime
Very Queer Remark.

While the Sunday School of the Second
Reformed Church, Central avenue, was
on its annual excursion yesterday to
thieves got among the party and stole
three gold watches and four diamond
pins.
The excursion left the Fourteenth
street, pier, Hoboken, in the morning and
did not get back until s O'Clock in the
evening. On the return trip while the
crowd was being transferred from the
barges to the North Hudson County Rail-
way trolley cars Frederick J. Mersheimer
who was looking after the passengers for
the company, saye he noticed man
standing with his hands in the folds of a
womans dress. He called Detective
Woods and caused the mans arrest on
suspicion of picking pockets.
I'm all right" replied the stranger, 81
was just assisting my mother on the
car"
When asked to point out his mother, he
said that she had disappeared.
MY sister and little girl are here too,"
he continued, there's my little girl now"
The man pointed to little girl in one of
the cars, but when Detective Woods
brought the girl before the stranger she
was unable to recognize him.
Woods then took his prisoner to the
Second Precinct police station, where he
said he was John Fay, twenty years old,
but refused to give any address. Fay had
no stolen property In his possession.
This morning Recorder McDonough
fined him S25. After the prisoner had
been released, Detective Woods made a
statement to reporters that Fay had
pleaded with him to withdraw the charge
When the request was refused, Woods
alleges Fay remarked, IT always used
State Detective Joe Harrison right"
Harrison, however, claims that he does
not know the man and was indignant over
the alleged statement. When Fay was
asked later If he had made such a re-
mark he emphatically denied it.
