MuIattO Woman Arrested, but Was
Later Released.
The partly decomposed remains of
remale mulatto infant were found yes
terday morning in CASTOR lane, near
Abercorn street, and were removed to
police headquarters. Later they were
buried under the direction of the coro-
ner.
Health officer Drummer made an in
vcstigation, and a mulatto woman
named Annie Squire was. detained for
a short while at the police station.
There were strong suspicious that she
was the mother of the child, and ru-
mors that had been in circulation be-
fore the discovery was made gave color
to the report.
The woman stoutly protested her in
nocence, and after an investigation by
DR.. Drummer and another physician,
she was released. The infant was
wrapped in a. piece of cloth and had
probably been dead for several days.
There was no indication or evidence of
foul play. and If caught the mother
would only be guilty of a violation of
one of the rules of the health depart
ment on the reporting of all births.
The police are in possession of no clues
that are likely to result in the making

CHARGED WITH DlSTILLING.
w. w. Collins and His Son, HatchelI
Before Commissioner.

A preliminary hearing in the case of
w. w. Collins and Hatchell Collins
was begun before United States Com
missioner Ryals yesterday. The de-
PENDANTS charged with illicit distilling,
which they are said to have carried on
near Lyons, where the live.
The direct evidence against them
was confined to the testimony of C. L.
Coleman. who testified that when he
was in the employ of Collins he had
witnessed the manufacture of whiskey
on several occasions. Several other
witnesses testified to corroberating
facts along the same line.
The commissioner did not make a
decision, but gave Collins until Friday
of next week to produce his witnesses
The hearing will be continued on that
day.
TIE evidence developed the fact that
there was bad blood between the de-
PENDANTS and the witnesses, particu-
larly M. B. Sears, a lawyer of Lyons,
who has been most prominent in the
prosecution. There has been bad blood
between Sears and the elder Collins,
Collins accusing Sears of the commits
sion of a very serious crime.
Collins has been released on bond
and returned to his home near Collins
last night. 1t is understood that a
personal collision between him and
Sears is not an unlikely result.

As the archdiocese of New York, of
which. Archbishop Corrigan was the
head, is the most important arch
diocese in the world except that of
Rome itself great interest is naturally
felt in the succession to so important
a position. Father Halpin thinks it
improbable that Bishop Farley will
be made archbishop. for though he is
bishop of the diocese, he is a bishop
auxiliary, which does not entail the
succession, and not a bishop Coadjutor,
which does.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
archdiocese of New York may be gath
cred from the fact that it contains in
round numbers a million and a half
Roman Ca tholics, has but a few less
than 300 churches, of which 1876 are in
the city limits has in addition i57
chapels, and $50 priests, little more
than two-thirds of them secular priests,
and tine remainder members of the re-
ligious orders. The Bahama Islands are
q part of the archdiocese.

Corrigan. we'll said he was man of
rare attainment as a scholar, had an
active and keen intellect and was pos
