A Distracted Mother and a Dead Baby.

Distrhcteu mOJner anu Do"e s'"~S'
The sad results of a woman's shame
were disclosed at Port Huron on April
80 by the detention at the Grand Trunk
tunnel station of the unfortunate
mother with dead 4weeks-old baby
in her arms. She had been carrying
the baby about with her for some hours
at least, and in her distraction did not
know what to do with it. The unfor-
tunate is an unmarried woman of "a
years, whose home is in Aloniston, Ont.
She had been confined at the Woman's
Hospital and Foundlings' Home in De-
troit, and left that institution about a
week previous, going to her home.
Upon the advice of relatives she had
started for Detroit to leave the child
for adoption, and the baby died while
en- route. The coroner's inquest re-
vealed the~fact that the infant died a
natural death and the mother was re-
leased. After making arrangements
for the burial of her baby at Port HUI
ron she departed for home.

$40, 900, 900 Fire in Ontario.

Five square miles of territory burned
over; more than $500 dwellings, factor
les, mills, stores and other buildings
destroyed, entailing loss estimated to
reach $40, 600, 900 and between $1,000
and $4,000 men, women and children
homeless, is a summing up of the havoc
wrought by fire at Hull and in Ottawa,
Ont, on the Goth. Most of the lumber
mills in Ottawa and Hull have disap-
peared and are now mere heaps of
charred wood and ashes. Half dozen
churches and schools, number of
mills, the Hull waterworks, the Hull
courthouse and Jail, the convent-al-
most every business place and about
l 200 dwellings and shops at that place
have been destroyed. Indeed, practi-
cally nothing of the village is left but
a church and few houses beyond it.

Cattle Raising in Michigan.

Hon. A. NJ. Todd, of Kalamazoo, has
purchased 5000 acres of stump land in
Home township, Newaygo county, and
is negotiating for more. He intends to
have the largest and best equipped cat
tie range in the state. The land is
rolling and well watered by springs
and running brooks. He has given or
ders for two carloads of wire to fence
it; will erect good and substantial
buildings thereon and stock it with
blooded cattle. George A. Day, resi-
dent of Newaygo, is so enthused with
the idea that he has purchased 1000
acres and will emulate the ex-congress-
man. This stump land is being rap
idly taken up by outside investors for
grazing and hay land Much of the
soil is heavy clay, while the sandy soil
is specially adapted to fruit growing.

Sultan has Agreed to settle.

1t can be stated on authority that
the negotiations representing the Amer
lean missionary claims are progressing
in the most satisfactory manner, in the
view of the government. The depart
ment has received from Mr.. Griscom,
the United States charge, cablegram
announcing that the porte has under
taken to meet all of the engagements
made with the U. S. minister respect
ing the payment of the claims set up
on account of the destruction of the
American missionary property in Tur-
key. 1t is not stated when the pay
ments will be made, and it is surmised
that, owing to the many obligations OF
greater magnitude pressing upon the
porte, some time may yet elapse before
the money is actuallyin hand.

Another Wreck on tho Rapid Railway.

Some miscreant deliberately opened
a switch on the Rapid Railway line,
opposite the Michigan salt works,
three miles south of Marine City on
the night of the Goth, and as the result
the motorman was probably fatally in
iured and the car damaged to consid-
cradle extent. A small track which
branches from one of the big railrord
lines leads directly into the yard at
the salt works. The Rapid Railway
car ran into the switch at a rapid gait
and crashed into box car which was
standing on the side track. The mo-
torman was injured internally and
may not survive the shock. The vesti-
bule on the car was smashed into
kindling wood while the upper portion
of the car was torn completely off its
trucks. None of the passengers were
injured.

SECOND DaY.

The Sutton case came to an abrupt
close on the 26th, Judge West sustain
ing the challenge of the defense to both
the special and extra jury panels ow-
ing to irregularities in drawing them.
This throws the case over until an extra
panel of 80 jurors can be summoned.
The whole trouble seems to have been
with the county officials, who for years
have been drawing panels without
closely following the provisions of the
statute and their methods were only
discovered when Capt. Atkinson made
his numerous objections. After the
decision of the court there was consid-
cradle speculation as to whether 1t
would affect the verdict in the Marsh
case, but Capt. Atkinson did not think
so for the reason that the jury which
tried Marsh was accepted by the de-
Tense, even though it was irregularly
drawn.

sutton's Attorneys will Attack Indictment

Sutton's Attorneys will Attack Indictment
Every one of the 30 jurors drawn at
Mason on the 2Sth responded to roll
call in the circuit court at Lansing on
the 3Oth. Col. Sutton closely scanned
to their names and took their places in
the box, smiled grimly when the name
OF William III. McKale was called, evil
IDENTIFY rejecting that M,Kale had a
hand in his Indictment. When court
convened Capt. Atkinson started in
with a motion that time be allowed the
defense in which TO look into the stand
ing and character of the jurors, and
also TO examine the clerks records rela-
tive to the drawing of the jury, and the
assessment rolls of the several town
ships and wards for the purpose of see
ing if the jurors were all taxpayers.
Eight reasons are assigned for quash-
ing the Indictment. They are that no
order was ever made by the court call
ing or authorizing the drawing of a
grand jury; that the persons claiming
TO act as grand jurors acted wholly
without authority of law; that the per-
sons mentioned in the indictment as
grand jurors were not selected to act as
grand jurors for Ingham county in
accordance with any provisions of law
that none Of the names of persons act
ing as grand jurors were ever placed in
packages provided by law to contain
the names of grand jurors, when re
ported by the township officials to the
county clerk; that the slips were mo-
folded so as to conceal the names o.
persons returned; that no records were
kept by officials participating in thu
drawing; that the clerk did not hanC
the slips to the sheriff, whose duty i
was to keep minutes of the drawing
but did hand them to Carl Loomis,
deputy sheriff

loon of Dominick Dagutis on
Penn Avenue.

AS the result Of a brawl in the sa-
loon of Dominick Dagutis, at 421 Penn
avenue, at 6:05 o'clock last evening,
John Wheld, of 216 Cherry street,
South Scranton, was taken to the

and James Low, all colored were
taken to the central police station and
will this morning be given a hearing
on the charge of assaultng and fe-
loniously woundng him.
Will Clifford, companion of
Wheld's, had his left hand cut in the
melee, and after having the wound
attended to, left for his home. The
fight occurred about o'clock in the
saloon. Wheld and Clifford were
standing at the bar, and the three col
ored men were a short distance away
from them. Clifford drew a wad of
bills from his pocket to pay the bar
tender and made a rather ostentatious
display of the cash.
One of the men standing by made a
sudden snatch at the bills. Clifford
drew them back ani the ether re-
marked, in a pacifyinc tone, II only
did that for a joke" Hot words here
ensued and blows were struck. Wheld
here took a hand, and one of the coll
ored men was struck TO the floor. He
rose quickly and the three made a
rush at Wneld and Clifford. There was
a flash of steel and Wheld cried out:
I'm stabbed"
a general fight ensued here, in which
Wheld received more stab wounds
Clifford's hand was slightly cut and
James Low was struck with a billiard
cue, and sustained serious injuries.
Police headquarters were notified

ma hospital, and entered with the
blood squirting from n wound In the
facial artery and several other cuts
DR.. ]. w. Busch, resident surgeon
gave him prompt attendance and
| dressed his wounds. Beside the cut
mentioned above, which was the most
serious, as the blood was flowing very
| freely, Wheld sustained n bad cut over
| the heart, the knife blade striking the
| fifth rib and glancing off. He has an
other small cut in the neck, and bad
| flesh wound in the left arm. He is a
young ian. about Il years of age
Late last night he was resting easily
and he will probably recover.
He was fortunate in being able to
receive such prompt attention, as his
wounds were of such a nature that in
a short time longer he would have bled
| to death. All of the cuts were deep
ones, the weapon used being plunged
into the flesh with great force.
| The man who did the stabbing is not
known, but Sims is suspected.
