ABANDONMENT OF BABY.
Conductor of Anacostia Street Car
Line Rescues Little One.

Conductor A. G. Hammond of the Anacos-
tia car line surprised the police in the Ana
costa station last evening about O'Clock
by appearing at the rail with an infant In
his arms.
Il found this baby on the BRIDGE" the
conductor, who was in a hurry to return to
his car, explained, land l want you to take
it,
The conductor handed over the little one
to the desk sergeant and was about to walk
out when the sergeant called him back.
II must know something more about the
baby he told the conductor.
But" the railroad employe replied, my
car Is waiting and l must hurry. There is
not much to tell about the baby. l just
found the little one on the bridge without
an attendant"
1t was explained by the conductor that he
was standing on the forward end of the car
and he noticed the baby boy lying upon the
side of the bridge He stopped his and
picked up the inIant looking about, think
ing he might see careless nurse, but no
body was near.
The infant is apparently about one month
old. He wore a neat white dress, cloak
and hood, and the condition OF his garments
indicated that he could not have been on the
bridge many minutes before the conductor
discovered him. There was nothing about
the wearing apparel of the founding that
would give the police the slightest cue as to
the parents. The police hurried the baby to
the house of Mrs Blackvlle, a nurse in the
employ of the board of children's guardians,
412 l. street southeast.
1t was reported that white woman was
seen running toward this city from the
bridge shortly before the baby was located
by Conductor HAMMOND.
Capt. Mathews directed his men to make
an effort to find the individual who aban-
doned the infant on the bridge thinking
a nv
something worse. and die. Such an ending
the captain realized would mean the filing
of criminal charge against the person
guilty of the abandonment. 1t has been only
few days since an infant was abandoned
on the Bowen road, only short distance
from Anacostia.

gathered floods of Manassas plains in
ceaseless music over choral bars of living

waited for the Undiscovered mill to grind
out the grist for Mount Vernon's daily
bread"
