Found Wrapped In Newspapers Under
Remarkable Circun1stamces
A rather remarkable event is report
ed as taking place in front of No. 46
Hudson street last evening at about 8
o'clock. A colored baby girl, just born,
was found, wrapped up in a newspa-
per, lying on the sidewalk beside a
good-sized pool of blood. There was a
trail of blood, leading from the spot on
the sidewalk, which extended south in
a diagonal direction about one hundred
feet to the curbstone, where it stopped.
Sergeant McGrath, of Station 4, was
notified and he sent officers to the
scene. When they arrived two little
boys said that carriage had stood by
the curb where the blood trail stopped
just before the child had commenced
the cry which led to it's discovery, and
that a woman had entered it and been
driven swiftly away. The child is be-
ing cared for by a competent nurse,
and, strange as it may Sc am, is healthy

RECON YENING OF CONGRESS
SHORT SESSIONS BOTH HOUSE
AND SENATE.

Spectacular Scene In the Houss-Ad-
journment Taken Until To day Ont OF
Respect for Late Congressman Charles
A. Russell Senate in Session but
Twelve Mtnuses-Presticnt's Message
To-day.
Washington. Dec. 1.-The opening of
the second session of the Fifty-seventh
congress in the house was as usual
a spectacular scene. The galleries of
the freshly decorated hall were packed
to the doors with people prominent in
society and politics, and the flower
show on the floor, although not as elab-
crate as usual, filed the chamber with
perfume and added grace and beauty
to tie scene. The members Were good
natured and jovial and there was no out
cropping Of partisan feeling, Speaker
Henderson received cordial reception
as he assumed the gavel, but beyond
this there was no demonstration The
proceedings were purely perfunctory. A
prayer, the calling of the roll, the
swearing in of members elected to fill
vacancies created by death or resigna-
ton during the recess, the adoption of
the customary resolutions to appoint a
committee to wait upon the president to
inform the senate that the house was
ready to transact business and to fix
daily hour Of meeting, summarize
what was done. Then the death Of the
late Representative Charles A. Russell
os Connecticut. which occurred in the
early fall. was announced by his sue
cessor, Mr. Brandegee. The usual reso-
luton of regret was adopted and the
house as a further mark Of respect ad-
iourned until tomorrow when the pres
ident's message will be read. The ses-
sion lasted less than an hour.
The senate was in session twelve
minutes to-day, the first day Of the ses-
sion. an adjournment until tomorrow
being taken out of respect to the MEM
ory of the late Senator Mcmillan, who
died during the recess.
Rarely has the historic chamber pre-
sented such an appearance as 1t did to-
day. The custom of placing flowers on
the desk on opening day is one which
long has been followed, but the display
to-day was admittedly the most mag
nificent of any that heretofore has been
seen. Many of the senators were early
on the floor and were kept busy ex-
changing greetings with old acquaint-
ances.
The galleries were packed to suffoca-
ton and hundreds stood outside the
corridors anxious to gain admission.
Among the interested spectators were
several members of the diplomatic
corps, Senior Quesada, the Cuban min
ister occupying conspicuous place and
exhibiting much interest in the pro-
ceedings.
The absence of Rev. DR.. Milburn, the
blind chaplain, was particularly noticed.
His place to-day was taken by Rev.
]. F. Prettyman of Washington. No
business was transacted beyond passing
the customary resolutions that the SEN
ate was ready to proceed to business
and fixing the hour Of convening the
sessions at IL o'clock,

FEATURES OF new DEFENDER
LARGER AND HEAVIER KEEL
THAN CONSTITUTION.
Will Not, However, Draw So Much
Water Being Broader The Increase
in Weight Wili Enable Her to Garry
AbOut $4,000 Square Feet of Sail, the
Largest Amonnt Ever Swung by q
single Sticker.

Bristol, r. l., Dec. 1.-Now that the
construction of the new cup defender
has fairly begun, the lead keel having
been successfully run, it is possible to
give in general way few of the
principal features of this new aspirant
for Americas cup honors. ink &
To all outward appearances, the new
boat will not differ in a very great de-
gree from any of the ninety footers
turned out by the Herreshoffs during
the past ten years. She will have the
same spoon bow, the same long over
hang aft and the same modified fin
keel. 1t appears, however, that she
will be slightly broader than the Con-
stitution, which had beam of 25 feet
and 2 IL inches. Her keel will also be
longer and heavier than the Belmont
boat, but at the same time she will
not draw so much water being shOaler
by some inches. This increase in
weight will enable her to carry larger
sail spread, something in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 square feet, which is the
largest amount of canvass ever swung
aloft by single sticker
The methods of construction pursued
in the case of the Columbia and Con-
stitution will be followed in the new
boat. The keel plates will be f1anged
and webbed in three sections and much
of the bracing will be the same.
The workmen to-day removed the
balance of the timbers and clay about
the lead keel, and tomorrow the car
penters will commence smoothing the
out part of the lead in preparation for
the fitting of the plates.
The after end of the lead keel ap-
pears to be some two feet lower than
the forward end.

a Civic Federation Favored by British
r.ade., UnLom Delegates.


New York, Dec ALFRED Moseley,
the English millionaire who recently
brought party of British trades
union delegates to this country for the
purpose of studying American indus
trial methods, announced tonight that
it had been unanimously determined
by the delegates to establish in Great
Britain a civic federation similar 10 the
National Civic federation of America.
Mr.. Moseley said that it was the
opinion of the delegates that the fed
GRAFTON should not be established in
England so much for the purpose of
settling strikes, or labor disputes, but
to jump into the breach the instant
there was any sign of impending trou-
BILE between labor and capital, and that
it should rather be for the purpose of
preventing disputes than of settling
them,

Last Evening

Last Evening
Peter Egan, who is employed by the
United States government to carry the
mails from the trolley cars at the old
green to the New Haven postoffice, was
seriously injured last evening by being
caught between two cars. Egan was in
the act OF removing several bags Of
mail from the Montowese car at S:SS,
and was in a STOPPING position, taking
the bags from the front platform of the
car. The Lighthouse car, coming down
Chapel street, struck Egan a glancing
blow and so twisted him about that his
body was very badly crushed. Egan
dropped helpless between the cars and
was carried to position on the side
walk in front of Mix's drug store,
where he lay until the arrival of the
ambulance from Grace hospital At
the hospital it was found that no bones
were broken, but that the young man
had suffered an extreme shock. Inter-
nal injuries are feared and the outcome
will not be known for twelve hours, at
least.

Washington, Dec. IA sensation was

chairman of elections committee No. i,
offered a resolution, obviously Sched-
uledlby the house leaders and recogniz
ed at the proper moment, calling on the
committee of which he is the head to
inquire and report with all convenient
speed" whether Mr.. Glass, who comes
here to fill the vacancy occasioned by
Represent Otey's death. was law
fully elected, and as to the character of
the registration list, and whether it's
privileges were accorded to all citizens
of Virginia alike, without regard to-
race or color, etc.
The committee by this resolution is
empowered to summon witnesses and
pay all expenses out of the contingent
fund of the house. Mr.. Tayler was the
man selected to dead in the proceedings
against Brigham Roberts three years
ago. He had been asked by the speak
er to make an inquiry during the vaca-
ton and prepare plan of action. His
appearance this morning was strikin g.
ly suggestive of that occurrence, and

southern election laws as Mr.. Crum-

A VERY SENSATIONAL RAID

His Way Into Richard CnnfieId's

New York, Dec. 1.-One of the most
sensational raide ever made in New
York took place late tonight, when
District Attorney Jerome, with strong
force of police, broke into the palatial
establishment, said to have been con-
Quoted by Richard Garfield as a gam
bling house, on Forty-fourth street, a
few doors from Fifth avenue.
Entrance was effected by smashing
in the basement windows. On entering
the raiding party were confronted by
Mr.. Garfield, who had just returned
from trip to Providence, r. l., and
who protested that the house was SIM
ply his private residence, and that, had
he known that any suspicion of gam
bling attached to it, he would willingly
have admitted the authorities at any
time.
A search of the house showed that
the lower floors were vacant and un-
furnished, and it was only when the
police ascended to the fifth floor that
their attention was attracted by pan
ell in the wall which proved to be pro-
tected with stout steel plating. When
this had been battered in, after half an
hours hard work with sledge hammers,
the police say that they discovered an
enormous quantity of ivory checks,
with some roulette wheels and other
gambling apparatus.
Garfield, with half dozen men who
were found with him in the house, all
of whom were in evening dress, was
arrested and taken to the police sta
ton.
The raid was made on evidence Sc
cured by detective employed by the
district attorneys office. Tonight it
was said to be doubtful whether this
man could identify Garfield as having
been concerned in any actual gambling
operations in the house.
The raid caused the most intense ex-
element in the vicinity and enormous
crowds gathered while the police were
breaking their way in.
The captain of the precinct in which
the house is was in ignorance of the
raid until all was over when he ar
rived at the head of a squad of men

INVITED TO HORSE MEAT DINN ER
German Butchers TO Test Sincerity Of
Humane society.

Humane society.
Berlin, Dec. 1.-Distinguished mem
bers Of the Society Of the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals have been invited
to a horse meat dinner December Is, by
the Fletcher Zeitung, national organ of
the German Butchers, which says it de-
sires to measure the sincerity of the So
ciety in issuing it's recent appeal to
the public to eat more horse meat so as
to be merciful to animals unfit for work,
which will be relieved of their suffer-
ings if the consumption of horse meat
Is made more popular.
The Fleischer Zeitung has not yet re-
ceived any acceptances to the invita-
tion cards, which were sent out Satur-
day. The paper promises to put up
as good a horse meat feast as an ac-
complished cook can produce, but the
only material must be aged rheumatic
beasts, such as the society desires to
emancipate.
