Dead Body OF AN Infant, with shoe String
Around Its Neck, Found In Asbury

Dead Body of AN Infant, with shoe String
Around Its Neck, Found In Asbury
thurehyard.
The dead body of newly born female
infant was found Thursday in AS
bury cemetery. at Third and Walnut
streets, and turned over to Coroner Van
deveI.
When found the child had shoe
string tied tightly around its neck and
it is the impression of the coroner that
it was strangled to death Immediately
after birth.
The body was discovered by George
Schilas of No. AIT East Third street.
sexton of Asbury Church, while clean
ing up the cemetery about IL o'clock.
1t was found wrapped in newspaper
lying along the wall at the rear of the
yards of the houses on Poplar street be-
low Third, but it is supposed that it
was either thrown over the Third street
fence or carried in at one Of the Third
street gates and placed where 1T was
found, which was about 30 feet from
the fence.
Mr.. Schilas said he had seen the
paper lying along the wall for two days,
but paid no particular attention to it,
as he is frequently annoyed by people
throwing waste paper and kindred arti-
Giles into the cburchyaId. Thursday, how
ever, he trimmed the trees and cleaned
up the yard, and when he caught hold
of the paper was Mortified to find that
it contained dead child. He looked
Mt it and judged that death had oc-
CURED soon after birth. 1t was white,
large and we'll developed.

IT WILL MAKE NO CHANGE IN EITHER.
Dover Index, Dec. 18th.

Dover Index, Dec 18th.
There is scarcely more dangerous
role than that of high-minded purity
and disinterestednes when played by
the trickster and hypocrite. The mask
is pretty sure to be torn oil, leaving the
real features TO be displayed to the
public gaze.
Such, it is claimed, has proven the
fate Of MIR. Fred Eden Baoh's latest
essay at character Elaying.
Formerly, Mr.. Bach was hardly
looked upon as hypocrite. His true
character was too we'll and too widely
known to admit Of such role. The
little fig leaf apron of DISTINGUISHED
partnership with which he occasionally
arrayed himself WAS quite too tiimsy
and transparent to be looked upon as
even a serious pretence of bona fide
garments He was looked upon merely
as the rcpr esentative of Fled Eden
l5ach-and the faction of faction; and
rs such he passed and was let pass.
Now. however, from his post at Cuba
sucking the luIce of his latest official
plum, he takes time to appear in public
print as the lofty critic of political
triclIery and corruption, and he singles
out for his attack no less a parsonage
than John Edward Addicks. 1t nigh
have been supposed that individual was
so used to this kind Of attack that he
would not have attempted to hit back
but for some reason he adopts another
course and does hit back and that too
with considerable force. Perhaps the
kettle does not take SO much offence Mt
the scorn of the sauce pan, but confines
its animus to the animadversions of the
pot, Be this as 1t may, Mr.. Addicks
comes out with the statement that this
man Bach was in his pay; that he was
pledged to work for his interest; that
he was promised to support his claims
to tho senatorship; and that he was
actually the recipient of $1,000 as the
auid pro quo. In short that Bach was
bronght up by Addicks ut the late
session of the General Assembly to
work TO make Addicks United States
Senator.
True or untrue, the whole matter is
of little importance to the public, ex
cept as another demonstration of the
means and methods employed in recent
senatorial contests. True or untrue. i
is not going to make Addicks. loof
better 10 the eyes of, the people, OF
make much change in the genera
opinion of Bach.

was made at the request Of Col. Henry
B. Judd, now deceased, who was the

When pa was down to Topsham fair
shocked around and heard him swear eSH
To lothian Briggs that it seemed to him
That muscle nowadays was slim.
For he said ned stood there quite length,
Seein' folks whang at the test your

And there wasn't one III all that spell
Who'd hit crack that had tapped the bell,
And pa talked loud and he sassed the crowd
And the crowd sassed pa, and he allowed
He'd show 'em what; and so old Jote

And pa he rolled his sleeves up tight,
Hauled out his plug and took bite,
He whirled one arm in windmill style
Then whirled the other one awhile.
He picked his pessle out at length
And sassed the great, tall test your

And pa he spit in both his fists
And give the handle two-three twists,
And swung the beetle round and round
To give one big gsl-rippin' pound.
One knee was right up ginst his chin,
HIS eyes stuck out, his lips sucked in,
And down he fetched her with jolt;
But pa-but pa-he missed his holt!

r. G. Dun & Go. IS Review says that
during the week railroad stocks have
shown the value of regular returns OF
earnings, which have surpassed last
years S.7 per cent fol the first week Of
December, and those of 1892 by l6 per
cent, while full November returns show
the largest gains of the fall, 10.4 per
cent over last years, and PA per cent
over those of 1892. The advance in
east hound rates reduces the tonnage
movement below that of last year. The
volume OF business continues to sur
pass all records, clearings for the week
running b. per cent over last years,
and AIS per cent above those OF 1892.
Failures for the first week of December
have been S2.766, 496, manufacture
ing s5l3, 1928, and trading s1,574, 09l.
Failures for the week were 21S in the
United States. against 26l last year,
and &c in Canada, against 81 last
year.
Bradstreet's in its issue of Saturday
says General trade in wholesale and
manufacturing lines is quieting down,
but, it is worth. nothing, is undis-
turbed by the money situation, the in
tiuencos of which have been confined to
speculative circles. As regards prices,
it is noticeable fact that as many
staples have advanced this week as
there have declined, while by far the
larger number of quotations have re-
manned steady or firm.
Sin foreign trade We have in tine
November figures, owing to reduced
foreign takings OF agricultural pro.
ducts, decrease in export values from
d year ago, while, on the other hand,
imports show steady increases. En-
Eorts still heavily exceed imports, how
ever. For the eleven months exports
exceed imports by $500, 900, 600, are
a5, 600, 600 ahead of last year, and we
may, therefore. confidently expect q
total of exports for 1880 larger than

London, Eng, Dec. 16.-The social
festivities which usually mark this
season of the year, in London, have
never been SO few and far between, and
they are unable to dispel the gloom
overhanging all classes. The brave
chow kept up by the majority Of the
organs voicipg public opinion lie merely
an instance of the grit of the British
race, but it is powerless to allay the
feeling of bitter grief and disappoint-
ment that pervade5 the length and
breadth of the land. Nor Is this con-
fined to the regrets, for the pent-up
criticism Of the military authorities is
finding vent in quarters that heretofore
have studiously avoided, as premature,
or the generals In the field. Unless
some striking change for the better
soon marks the course of the British
arms, there bids fair to break over the
head of the government storm Of
Indignation such as has not been seer
since the Crimea, That such move
ment is not without cause is evidenced
by information CLEANED by representa-
tive of The Associated Press that the
authorities have already decided that
reorganization of the War Office is
absolutely necessary, and that it will
not be delayed day longer than can
he helped, though it can scarcely be
done until hostilities cease. rfs..
The st. James Gazette, this week,
commenting on the Canadian cou-
tingent, said: "They have shown that
thsir long homo training and colonial
campaigning experience has not been
lost on them, and they are now getting
their reward, in being pushed to the
front. We should like to see little
more notice of this thing in the London
press. The colonists are intensely loyal.
but they are q little sensitive, and
appreciative notice of the work they
are doing would be good imperial
