tured the $1,000 handicap, over one and
sixteenth miles, decided yesterday at
Oakland track. Warte NIGHT carried LOG
pounds, and as he was always partial
to heavy going and the footing was
holding enough to pull the plates from
the favorite.
p. Ryan brought Ben MacDhui out OF
retirement, and he had the second call.
Horatius and keynote were also well
bet on. CRATER for a third of the route
cut out the running. Then Knapp urged
the favorite to the front, and, though
Ben MacDhui looked dangerous when
Martin moved with him in the stretch,
the favorite stood a drive. passing the
wire in front by three parts of length.
MacDhui ran second, about the same
distance ahead of CRATER. Horatius re-
ceived a severe bump at the first turn
and never showed to any advantage.

KILLING OF INFANTS.
DIR. MOsder Held to Answer with
Clark For Baby'n Death.

DIR. Mosder Held to Answer with
Clark For Baby's Death.
PHILADELPHIA, April 1.--Dr. Da.
vid Mosier, who swore before the cor,
oner that he had seen Mrs. Elizabeth
Ashmead burn the bodies of babies in
the cellar of her house, 256 South
Twelfth street, has been himself held
to await the action of the grand jury
to answer for the death Of an infant
Mosier was arraigned with George
Clark, the father of the baby, and both
men were recommitted to prison after
the hearing.
Clark, it is charged, deposited the
body of the child In a sewer, where it
was recovered by the authorities.
Detective Mckinney testified that he
had heard that Nellie Boyd was at
2649 North Fourth street dying from
the effects of surgical operation. He
said that DIR. Joseph II. King of 2210
North Tenth street had so informed
him. He stated that he got George
Clark in the room and asked where the
child had been taken, and Clark finally
broke down and confessed that he had
thrown 1t into a sewer Mckinney
went with Clark to Marshall street and
Lehigh avenue and lowered Clark into
the sewer. CLARK, after diving in the
mud, fished out the body.
The testimony of a little woman, pale
and so weak that she could hardly
stand, was sufficient to warrant hold
ing Mosier and Clark.
The only testimony that brought the
audience in the courtroom leaning for
ward in listening attitude was given
in whisper by Nellie Boyd.
With her hands covering her eyes.
she said: II was alone with George
Clark when the baby was born l was
so sick that don't remember why
George placed the baby on the table
II lived for an hour and half. Then
George wrapped it up and took 1t
away"
Speak louder" requested the cor
oner.
Il can't. am still too weak" the
woman replied in a whisper.
At the conclusion of the evidence the
coroner's jury held DR.. Mosier respon-
sible for the baby's death and George
Clark as an accessory.
Dr. Mosier went into the corridor
laughing and joking with Detective
Mckinney, but Clark, shriveled, lit
tie, middle aged man. was pale with
fright when led to the cellroom.

We were on picket duty all the pre-
vious night in the morning We moved out,
close to Missionary Ridge, and remained
there until about noon, when we were
ordered forward. having to pass through
an open field before reaching the foot Of
the ridge. The rebels had a fair sweep
at US from the summit of the ridge with
their batteries while we were crossing the
field; and they certainly made it warm for
us until we gained the foot of the ridge.
when their shot and shell passed over u.s.
We then started up the side of the ridge
and their infantry opened fire on us: but
we succeeded in reaching a rail fence. where
we stopped for a few minutes. There was
considerable underbrush from this fence
to the top of the ridge. AS we were climb
ing over the fence to gain the shelter of
the underbrush, the 10th Iowa came back
through our line-they having run out of
ammunition. We went very near the sum-
NIT of the ridge and under their guns, our
men having to lie down to load. in order
to be out of range of the rebels fire.

Steer had a singular protuberance in his
chest. The Sergeant Major gave 1t a

made husky by emotion, answered back,

Even the pompous SergeantMajor turned
his back and moved his chin in curious

He soon faced the line again, and began
to put them through the "setting-up drill:'
a kind Of calisthenics. in which the patient
was made to swing his arms around and
around like the sails Of windmill, until
his joints were nearly dislOcated; to stoop
down and touch the ground without bend
ing his knees, until his hooks felt as if he
was hamstrung; and to fling his arms
backward like a breast stroke swimmer,
until his eyes started out of their sockets
and his ribs cracked. These exercises soon
took the smiles out OF the ''non-cOm.

cheerful by the comments of the Sergeant
