THAN INCUBATOR BABY.
Putative Mother and Foster Parents
in Court at Lawrence.

PutatiVe Mother and Foster Parents
in Court at Lawrence.
Lawrence. Kas.. Sept. 9.-Habeas
corpus proceedings were brought in
the Douglas county district court Fri
day for the possession of baby that
was one of the incubator baby attrac-
lions on the Pike at the worlds fair
in st. Louis. The child is now here
and was in court, a pretty little 49,
months-old girl. It has had quite a
history.
Mrs. Charlotte Blakely, of this city,
left her husband and went to St.
Louis early last year to get work. A
baby was born to her at one of the
hospitals and was placed in the in
cubator concession. During the fair,
Mr. and Mrs. James G. Barclay, of
Rock Island, Ill, became interested
In the child, and secured possession
of it at the close of the exposition, for
the purpose of adopting it. Mrs.
Blakely brought action in the Rock
| Island courts TO secure the child
after the fair was over, and got it,
bringing it to Lawrence, where it has
! been cared for by its grandmother,
Mrs. Thompson. Now Mr.. and Mrs
Barclay bring action by a habeas
corpus application, contending that
the baby was not that of Mrs. Blakely,
but that of an actress who was sick
at the same hospital about the same
time. The Barclays claim further
that the Blakely baby died at birth.
and that Mrs. Blakely was deceived
| by the hospital attendants. 1t is this
statement of facts that is now to be
| contested. The Barclays became
much attached to the child while it
was in their possession, and having
no children of their own want very
mcuh to rear it. On the other hand,
Mrs. Blakely thinks it is her child.

President Zimmerman Says 1t Will Tap
Kentucky Coal Fields.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-President thinner
man, of the Great Central route, has
announced ambitious plans for the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road. Ac-
cording to him railroad construction is
contemplated which will give the COM
pany access to the rich Kentucky coal
fields and will also provide a railway
route clear from Chicago to tidewater
on the southeastern coast. The new coal
line will be 125 miles long, and contracts
are about to be let for its construction.
From Charleston another line is to be
constructed connecting with the coal
line and thereby giving a route to the
seaboard. The Great Central, he de-
clares. has purchased $4,000 acres OF
coal lands in Kentucky, and it is ex-
pected that the company will mine be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons of coal
annually when the new road is in oper-
alton It is also their purpose to con-
struct extensive coke ovens and manu-
facture coke from the ccal produced in
their own mines. A further expenditure
is to be made in the acquisition of a
fleet of lake steamers in which to carry
the product of the mines to the various
markets reached by water.

PROTECTING WALL STARTED.
Santa FeF'inds Its Task at Trinidad a
BIG One.

Word has been received at the Santa
Fe Offices that the work is in full swing
on the big protecting wall that is being
built to protect the roads tracks be-
tween State and Commercial streets, in
Trinidad, Col. 1t will prove to be a
very expensive job and will require sew
eral months for completion.
While it is intended to give the wall
merely a facing OF cement, and form the
body of it with great boulders similar to
those already on the ground, 1877 cubic
yards of cement work will be needed,
according to the calculations of the en-
gineers. This estimate is based upon
2215 cubic yards for every 20 feet of
length. The wall will be 700 feet long
Much more rock will be needed than
the boulders or the ground now. The
wall is 10 be carried upwards from a
point four feet below the bed of the
river, and this will require a large
amount of excavation and much pump
ing. The crushed rock for the concrete
work is being brought to Trinidad at
the rate of several carloads a day from
Watrous, N. M, where the Santa Fe has
a large quarry and crusher.
