A Clue to the Identity to the Mother

A Clue TO the IOentity To the MOther
of the Foundling-Other Items.
Ct was learned yesterday from a
gentleman from Mansfield, Ohio, where
the baby found in the C. & P. passenger
depot was from, and how the parties
who brought it here evaded the officers
of the city. The child's mother is said
to belong to one of the best families
in the city of Mansfield. The mother,
wishing to shield herself from shame,
hired the woman who left the child
and also visited the Children's Home
to take away the child and in some
way place it that it should not suffer.
The tool of the unnatural mother, fall
ing at the Children's Home, telling
them she was from Bellaire, returned
to this city and left the baby in the de-
pot, trusting that it might fall in good
hands and also desiring to rid herself
Of the charge and to return home empty
handed and report to the heartless
mother. The Old saying, murder will
OUT is most likely to prove r u in
this case and the unnatural mother
brought to justice. One part of the
strange visit is that the woman and the
man were in the city all day and night,
leaving the next day for their home in
Mansfield. The authorities will use
their utmost efforts to find the mother.
1t was said the child wa dressed poor
so as to make the people believe it was
from a poor. person, but the fact is
that its mother Is in good circum-
stances and able to have dressed it
well.

A BAD SCARE.
The Ex-ShOre Boss of the Combine
the Victim of a Practical Joke

The Ex-Shore Boss of the Combine
the Victim of a Practical Joke.
Saturday night Will Patterson, the
ex-shore boss of the combine, was
made the victim of a practical joke and
given a very bad scare. The freight for
the steamer Leroy was piled on the
leyee Saturday afternoon, conveniently
near the waters edge. Patterson was
detailed to stand watch over the stuff
during the night and enjoined to keep
q sharp lookout for thieves.
About eleven o'clock two men off
the wharf boat engaged him in con-
~versation, while a third, with a black
felt hat pulled down over his eyes and
his coat collar tIrned up. armed with
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-01-15

an old pistol, which might have seen
service in the civil war. skirted down
around the pile opposite to where the
three were talking. Picking up a small
box of freight he slouched of down the
levee.
The two men called Patterson's at
tention to the man, saying that he was
walking off with a box Of freight. Pat
terson, with his hand in his hip pocket,
as if he were trying to pull a gun.
started after the man, calling out in
language that will not bear printing
to the supposed thief to halt.
The supposed thief setarted to run,
with Patterson after him, calling him
names which are not in the dictionary.
AS the ex-shore boss gained the man,
dropping the box. faced Patterson, lev
cling the pistol at him and saying,
What's that you called me?" snapped
the trigger. OF course the pistol was
not loaded, but the valiant Waterman,
throwing up both arms, cried out:
"Oh! I'm shot!" and placing his right
hand over his right side, where the
supposed bullet of the assassin enter
ed, he reeled about like a drunken man.
And then the laugh was over. The
Waterman got a lantern, to closer
guard the treasures which had nearly
cost him his life.
The robbery was the talk of the levee
yesterday.

Navigation is opening gradually all
along the upper river. The Ice mad
thinned perceptibly yesterday morn
ing, continued much lighter during the
day, and by midnight the channel was
running almost clear. The Virginia
reported very little ice above, and what
there was of it to be very light. The
indications are that by this morning
the river will be clear.
Rivermen report that the heaviest
foes of the winter were encountered
late Saturday afternoon. At about four
O'Clock three exceptionally large cakes
drew so much water that they jammed
on the creek bar, remaining stationary
for about three minutes, until the press
of the ice following showed them on in
to deeper water. A little later a heavy
rolling cake struck the bow of the
wharf boat and passed underneath. In
rolling the end of the cake struck the
bottom of the boat aft with sufficient
force to break one of the heavy oak
floor timbers in the hold square off in
the center.
The Leroy fought her way up
through the ice Saturday from Claring-
ton, arriving shortly after midnight.
She layed over until daylight, leaving
for Matamoras with the biggest trip
she ever carried. She will be out to-
day at four o'clock p. m for Claring-
ton.
The Sam Brown made an attempt to
go up the river with her tow yester-
day, arriving off the wharf at ten
O'Clock in the morning, showing her
feet. At that point one of her leaders
was stove in and she vas forced to
go to the Island shore directly oppo-
site. The damage was repaired, and
she will continue up the river this
morning. The Sam Clark passed UP
about noon, showing a feet of six
empties. The Belle MCGOWAN has left
Marietta and is on the way up with a
big tow of empties.
The Virginia passed down at 6 o'clock
last night for Cincinnati, having been
delayed by the ice and a big trip. She
left P%ittsburg with $50 tons of freight
and shipped 40 tons at this point. Be-
fore reaching the lower end of her
trade she will have on board something
over 1900 tons, the biggest trip in
years. The Lorena passed down at nine
o'clock last night. She carried an enor-
nous trip.
The steamer H. K. Bedford will be
UP to-day and leave for Parkersburg
on time Tuesday morning. The Key
stone State passed Middleport yester-

which she devised for life to her brother
John H. Cassin, her only heir-at-law, and
$1,000 absolutely to John Leo Cassin, who

REDUcTIoN To e UReEp.
President States His Purpose at tn
Cabinet Meeting.


Cabinet Meeting.
The President told the members Of the
Cabinet this morning at the regular meet
ing that he should recommend to Congress
il his annual message such changes in the
War Revenue law as will produce reduc-
ton of about $20. .0O0, GOO in the internal rev
enue taxation OF the country He had come
to this conclusion, he said, after due co1sid-
Grafton of the matter, based on conferences
with the Secretary OF the Treasury and with
some leading members of the Senate FL
nance Committee and the House Ways and
Means Committee
The details of the reduction have not
been decided on 1t is expected that there
will be a great deal of pressure from va
riouS interests that are now subject 10
special taxation. and il is impossible TO
accommodate all Of these. The President
hopes the disposition of Congress viii be
to repeal those clauses of the War Reve-
nue. law that impose the most burdensome
taxes and those that are regarded as most
extraordinary in time Of peace
The President will coBdne himself to
rather general recommendations in his
message leaving the details of the pro-
posed changes to the Senate and House
Committees. Senator AIdrirh Of Rhode
Island, Chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, has expressed tha option that
nearly all the war revenue taxes may be
taken on at the coming session and that
in the interests Of the business world
there should be 70 further tampering
with the law for the next four years
The President and Secretary Gage take
the view, however, that me. expenses of
the Government do not warrant a reduc-
ton of more than $40, ,09e, SOC at present
They believe, moreover, that il is impos-
sib1e to look forward through the next
four years and safely make the declaration
that no further changes VIII be made in
the Revenue law during that time. They
hold that the business world will not be
disturbed by changes in taxation, so long
as the changes are in the line of redue-
ton and not increase of the. burdens now
necessarily imposed.
The Presidents message WIS among the
subjects brought up at the Cabinet meet
ing, but it was not considered In detail,
the discussion being entirely general
Secretaries Hay, Gage. Long. Hitchcock,
and Wilson and Attorney General Griggs

Big BATTLE Tn PROGRESS
British and Beers Reported to Be
Fighting Desperately.
Burshers Under Command of Gen
eraI De Wet-London Receives Des-
patches EntireIy Lacking in De-
taiI-COnsiderabIe Concern Over
the Outcome of the Engagement.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-Brief dispatches
have been received here today. announcing
that great battle is in progress in South
Africa between the British and the Boers.
General De Wet is said to be IeGding the
burghers in the fight and both sides have,
it is reported, sustained very heavy losses.
The dispatches thus far at hand are lack
ing detail, but it is believed here that the
main force Of the Federalists mas been
driven into a corner by General Roberts
army and that the battle now in progress
is hksly TO have decisive results.
Notwithstanding the weakened condition
Of the Boer soldiers and the diminution of
their forces, the result of the engagement
Is awaited here with intense interest and
not without alarm in certain quarters,
where it has been cptimisticalIy con Ended
that the burgheTs would not again offer
formidable resistance 10 the British Army.
The recent activity of General De Vets
forces in various localities, however. has
convinced even those in official circles
that the situation in South africa was
not particularly reassuring, and for this
reason the outcome of the present battle
causes concern, even at the War Office.
General Roberts cables the War Office
that the Beers attacked British out
post at Thabanchu, IN the rich grain dis
trict east of BIoemfontein, in the Orange
River Colony. on November is, and
killed one British officer and three men.
They allowed prisoner 10 return to the
British garrison with request for an
ambulance
General Roberts states that the Beers
are very active In the southern part Of the
Orange River Colony and have repeatedly
broken the railway and telegraph lines
near Edenburgh. He says the occupation
of Kierksdorp by General Barton is i'm
portant as It greatly hampers the burghe;s
in their operations.
The Commander-in-Ch Chief also reports
that the Beers have ambushed a Sagon
load Of supplies and thirteen men at
Utrecht, Natal They afterward released
the men, four Of whom were slightly
wounded.
