ABANDONED A CHILD.
MT. and Mrs. Cornahrens Discover q
Pretty Little Girl Baby on Their
Doorstap.


Henry Cornahrens and his wife, who re-
side at $40 Steiner street, were the recip-
tents last evening of an unwelcone dona-
ton, albeit the gift was such as in any
well-reguIated household where it be-
longed would be priceless. The gift in
question was nothing less than beautiful
year-old baby, which Mr.. and Mrs. Cor
nahrens found on their doorstep upon
their return to their residence at IL o'clock
last night.
The child was well dressed but was not
sufficiently protected from the cold and
must have suffered if it was long upon the
steps before its discovery. A handker-
chief was tied around the chfld's legs to
prevent it from crawling away, but there
was no note or any possible clew to the
identity of the child's unnatural parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Cornahrens had no use for
the child and promptly notified the Gen.
tral police station of their find. A patrol
wagon was sent to their relief and the
baby was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
WI ere it remains.
