A BABY BOY IN PAWN Mrs Catherine Smith Sues on Habeas Corpus OFFSPRIH6 OF UNNAMED PARENTS A Mother's Trouble in Doing for Her Own CUPID UNDER THE ROSE Makes Over Her Baby to Her Friend for Safe Keeping Attempt to Mike Us: ot l)g Innncnce to Work a Blackmail Schema The Parents Now MirrieJ aid 0-:upylng a Prominent I'odtiin ii Sin Dlsgo. The Hatter lo Come l!,i in Cojrt Teday—Tre F.cu wi l Out Since "Adam delved aril Eve span there has been a twisi in public morality; that Is, according to our modern stand ard. Stern censors of public morals have thundered, and the female portion of the community! as arbiters of the inner circle of the elect known as Society, have sought a remedy for what ls known as social wrong doing by turn ing the women on tn the streets, and giving tile man a tongue lashing, liut success does not seem to have conspicu ously perched on the banners of either party, and education witli its quicken ing sense of moral obligation is doing more than the forces of either the legal or social world Is able lo enforce. Hut today the old story wlll.be again exploited—but With a variation. "Wom en's weakness and man s perfidy," is tho common phrase, imt in the preeent inetanoe it is tho story of a woman's confidence crowned by hen marriage to the man she loved, and is living happily with today, But, if the facts as elicited bo far are correct, and there is no reason to suppose otherwise, there are those who Aye not unwilling to use thir knowl edge of a young girl's Indiscretion In the .let) luo.tj H|lH|!.ll USplOa B BUI4M OJ isnd husband and hereelf as the price of their silence. That, at least, is as it appears on its face. The tacts In the case are these. CUPID UNDER THE ROBE During the year of 1893 a young busi ness man of San Diego fixed his af fectionß on a pretty girl without, prob ably, either one troubling much about the future or what it might hold for them. I bit the day of reckoning came aud on January 17. 1894, the simple girl found herself a mother, albeit no wife — that is, as the outward world reckons it. Strange, perhaps, to say the little mother w as proud of her offspring and what troubled her was how to avoid bl Inging trouble on the father. She had sought a refuge ln her time of trouble at tue lying-in hospital, on Bellevue avenue, in this city, kept by Mrs. Catherine Smith. When she Rot strong she placed the baby out to nurse, and w hen assured it v as safely placed, returned to San Diego, But times were hard and money scarce. The father of the child was in almost as bad a tlx, for although his family Is is a wealthy one lie was only a com parative youngster, and could not com mand much himself in the way of world ly wealth. After the child had been out to nurse for several months the mother wrote the following letter to Mrs. Smith and, as it w ill cut considerable figure in the case it is herewith produced: SAN DIEGO, June 4. 1894. Dear Mrs. Smith:—l enclose $5 today. If you can possibly get baby in tho hoitio for that amount please endeavor to do SO. As soon ns I can I w ill pay you for your trouble. I am perfectly honest When I say I have no money. It would bo a great comfort for me to know tiiat you have my baby. Host assured I would not take him from you for I havo bad too much trouble to over attempt to keep him again, so if you decide to keep him yourself do not bo uneasy re garding my interfering with you. Do not think I am trying to urge you to keep baby; I want you to do entirely as you wish about the matter. If you can not keep him please send him to the home fur tho present, and I will pay you for your trouble as soon as 1 can do so. I am ever yours sincerely, A good many hard things have been s;'id about Mrs. Catherine Smith, but these are, perhaps, Incident almost to the conduct of a lying in hospital when carried on on an unorganised basis, Be that as it may Mrs. Smith determined to aid the girl who had won her sym pathy, both for hor own sake and also because the baby buy was, in face and feature, curiously like a boy of her own that she had lost. HERS BY ADOPTION. She went nnd got tbe child from tho people who bad been caring for it and kept it with her until it got good and ■trong.about two months in all.and then placed it with Mrs. Judd, who lives on Band street.That was about July, 1894. Tho baby had boon named Malcolm Smith and grow to be a lusty littlo fol low. So much so that Mrs. Smith de termined to bring the child back to Believue ayenue. She had, possibly, another reason for this bovond hor affec tion theqjilld. The fathorand moth er had been married in tho Interim and if It could be contrived without scandal, wanted to Rain possession of their own by adoption. Mrs. Smith stands ready to aid tho mother in this desire.and since May she has had the little OZIB subject at all times to the parents' wishes. Before removing It from the care of Mrs. Judd however, Mrs. Smith paid tho board bill due and obtained the following receipt- LOS ANtIKLKS, Cal., May 25, 1896 Received, $75, from Mrs. C. Smith for board of baby. Balance due, $25 ~». , JULIETTE JUDD. Mr. and Mrs. Dnbson, the parents of Mrs. Judd, and with whom she resided were also fond of tho boy and Mr."Dob son, who runs the corral on Aliso street on several occasions! came up to Mrs' Smith's nnd took the boy out for a ride Last Friday Mrs. Dobson said thoy were going to the ranch and would take the baby, promising to bring It back before nightfall. They didn't bring it back at all. About 8 oclock in the evening Mrs Smith wont to see why little Malcolni had not been brought home and was told that it was In bed and asleep.Since then the Dobsons and Mrs. Judd have re fused peremptorily to yield up the baby boy, and Mrs. Smith Has applied for a writ of habeas corpus and the matter will be gone into today. Inasmuch as on the showing so far made the Dobsons have neither legal or moral claim on the baby, the insinua tion that has been made that they desire to use it as a profitable investmen has an ugly look, to say the least.

FOR THE YELLOW METAL Cong-essman McLachlan Has Isiueri His Let ter oi Acceptance Congressman McLachlan has issued his letter of acceptance of the Republi can nomination for congress from this district. He says: "The Republican party, since Its form ation, has stood for the maintenance of tho union and the preservation of na tional honor ancj credit. It has con demned any action even tending tow ards repudiation. It has been the con stant enemy of flat money in any form, either of paper or metal. Yet lt has ever been the advocate of the freest and full est use of silver consistent with the maintenance of its parity with gold, it stands for those principles today. 1 am proud to bo a member of that party, and to be able to say that I subscribe to its principles as enunciated in the platform r ntly adopted by the national con vention at St. Louis. The Republicans uf this state, two years ago, without due consideration, fell into what I then thought, and still think, was an error. In that lt departed from the traditions and principles of tho party on this question of finance. Upon such a platform I was elected to congress, and in the belief I hat I was bound by its provisions I east my vote in the house in favor of free sil ver. This 1 did against my own per sonal convictions, in obedience to what I conceived to be tho mandate of my constituents, as expressed in that plat form. Happily this error has been cor rected by the almost unanimous voice of the national Republican party, in whoso Wisdom and patriotism we all believe. I hasten this answer to your letter on ac count of tho early meeting of the Dem ocratic convention at Ventura, as I de sire the whole people of this district to know my position upon the questions at issue in tills campaign. "This nomination t accept, therefore, as a national Republican, standing squarely upon the national Republican platform adopted at St. Louis, and T pledge tho voters of 1 this district that If elected 1 I w ill do my utmost to carry out the principles of that platform." A FREIOIIT WRECK Two Men Killed and Another Fatally In jured SHAMOKIN, Pa., Aug. 4.—Two men were killed and another fatally injured in a freight wreck on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad six miles west of Shamokln today. The wreckage took lire from the dismantled locomotive, nnd the knowledge that on the siding where tho accident occurred was a car load of gunpowder prevented any at tempt to reeve until the explosion had occurred. It was thus that the body of Engineer Michael Smock was burned within full view of the workmen. It was pinned beneath tho engine and fiercely burning debris. The victims are: Michael Smock, engineer, dead. Alexander Smith, conductor, dead. Jacob Drlesbach, fireman, badly scald ed, will die. NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW Burglars do Through the Residence of Police Justice rtorrleon The family of Police Justice Morrison loft Monday for their summer outing, and as a result his honor did not go home as early as usual that evening. "When he did arrive at his domicile Just before midnight, on striking a light It was seen that burglars had been in the house. Everyhlng had been ransacked for val uables and'the place turned upsidedown. but all that was discovered to have boon taken was a revolver and a pair of cuff buttons. Entrance to the house had been effected by breaking a glass panel in a door, reaching In and turning the key, which was still in the lock. There is no clew to the thieves. PERSONALS R. W.

The court overruled the motion to dis miss and held the prisoner in $2500. TRAP AND TRIGGER The San Joaquin Duck Shooting club, which has extensive preserves in Orange county, has been making extensive im provements during the past few months. No less than $1500 has been spent in the construction of ponds. These are the only preserves in the *ate where canvas 'baek ducks are found in anything liko profusion. Charles Van Valkenburg and Jim Matneld, says the Record, have issued a challenge to shoot any two men in Los Angeles in a live-bird contest, purse and details to be arranged later. Ed Tufts has gotten in a quantity of elegant crown steel barreled patent pigeon ejec tor Smith guns, and he and John Schu macher are thinking seriously of ac cepting the challenge of the two redoub* ables. Both ot the former have records, and they may decide to give the chal lengers a race for the money. Mr. Tufts said this morning that if the contest came off, it would also, in addition, be for a large purse and for the champion ship of Spring street. The marksmen have already begun to talk about the grand prize shooting of the California Schuetzen club, whitdi is to take place at the club's park, San Ra fael, on Sunday, August 16, and Sunday, August 23. The program is a very ex haustive one, covering all points of mark manship, and the prizes offered are many and valuable. Ther Boers are probably the most ex pert rough-and-ready marksmen in the world. Why they are so is explained by their environmet, which necessitates a good deal of hunting for meat. Shooting constantly at ranges unknown by other than eye measurements has got these men to a state of perfection that aston ishes those who have seen them shoot. De Vllliers, a velt Boer, and Jacob Cloefe, a Cape Colony Africander, were taking a party of hunters from Klmberly to the diamond field out for a week's I hunt. Toward evening, after a hot day, | when the air was dancing over the plain, j a bunch of hartebeast antelope were sighted. Jacob and De Vllliers dis mounted for a long-range shot with j their Snider Enfields. "What have you got, Jake?" asked De j Vllliers. "Five hundred, and I'll draw fine on the : right-hand one." I "That's me. but I'll aim a trifle high for the next, for he's a little beyond." j Sportsmen, as a general thing, hear of ! strange happenings to hunters, many of which seem incredible. The following letter, which recently appeared in a Colorado paper, is the kingpin deer story of the season. It says: j The last time I was deer hunting I made two shots that were so remarka | ble that I think they are worth relat | ing: On rounding a small hill I observed | three deer watching me. I selected a I large buck, which was standing broad side, and fired. He made two plunges and fell, but immediately regained his feet, and with one more jump was over the hill. 1 followed his trail some fifty yards, when { observed him lying down ! and I fired again, and this time broke , his neck. On looking to see where tho first shot struck him. I was surprised to find that I had cut six holes in the hide with one bullet. The buck, as stated above, was tanding broadside, and tho ball made two holes in the foreleg, and being just high enough to pass through the lower part of the brisket, cut two holes in it, and passing out through the other foreleg, cut two more holes. To one familiar with tho anatomy of the deer this will seem at first an'im | possible shot, but on closer observation it will be seen that it is possible, pro viding tho ball does not enter tho leg too far forward. In this instance the ball entered the leg just far enough forward to out the cords of both legs and not break a bone. The second shot was at a fawn stand ing in front of a large rock. The bullet passed through the deer, hit against the rock and glanced off. hitting another rock, which so turned it that it fell at my feet. I have the bullet now, and on it ono can see the blood from the deer, tho sandstone from the first rook and particles of stone from the second rock. THE KENNEL The three Derby entries that were published with the qualification "pedi gree unknown," have arrived from the oast. Their breeding is as follows: AY. E.

On the night of Monday, April 17, Mrs. Barrett whs arrested. Wiiilu tho officers were, searching her houso Payno appeared nt tho door. Ho was admitted by one of tho searching party, and, being examined ns to his identity, stated that ho had boon engaged by Mrs. Surratt to Jig a gutter for Iter in tho back yard thonoxt morning (ho had n pick on his shoulder) nnd had como to receive further instructions ns to the work. This at 11 o'clock at night!

SANTA FE REORGANIZATION Fixed Charges Reduced aad Money Is Earned California Connections Through the At lantic and Pacific May Be Perpetuatod W. If. Rosington of Topeka, Kas , western attorney for the I'nion Trust company of New York, In the reorgani zation of the Ati hison,Topeka anil Santa Fe railway, says the Call of Monday, has been in San Francisco during the past week. In the great scheme of re adjustment, which Involved the trans fer of stocks, bonds antl securities rep resenting $250,000,000, the Atlantic and Pacific was not joined with the Atchison although lt does not follow in the final settlement of affairs that the interests of these companies shall be separated. The fixed charges of the Atchison, To peka and Santa Fe have been so re duced that the road is now earning money. Leading railroad men and attorneys regard the success of the reorganization as a remarkable achievement. Much credit is said to be due to I'nited States Judge Caldwell. If he hail not display ed great firmness a", well as judicial wisdom the professional railroad wreck ers of Wall street would have made sad havoc with the vast properties. According to Mr. Rossington's view the Atlantic antl Pacific company is in a position to defend its California con nections. The company ls not com pelled to sell its road from Mojave to the Colorado river or sell the line from the river to Albuquerque. It is possible to re-establish and perpetuate close re lations with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. In the negotiations for control of the Atlantic and Pacific the Huntington ii» terests may bo shrewd enough to shut out tho Atchison from the Southern Cal ifornia field. In that event tho Atchison would be forced to establish an indepen dent line to the Paciflo coast. The old original promoters of the Atchison sys tem always looked forward to a line from Chicago to San Francisco. At one time bonds for the extension of the road to San Francisco could have readily sold at a high figure. It Is now thought that the extension will be advocated as soon as the doubts and uncertainties attend ing the present business depression are dispelled. Hiring Gowns for Ascot It is not known lo Ihe world in genera! that many of tho Btrlklng toilets that ap pear at Ascot are hired for the occasion by their fair wearers. A lady, who is not pos sessed of unlimited means, can nowadays ko to a first class dressmaker ami contract to be supplied with four (or more) exquisite costumes for use during the meeting at a charge hi accordance with their magnifi cence. On the Monday following they aye returned to the milliner. The terms for hiring are not light, and of course soiling tho garments, other than "fair wear and tear," has to be paid for In addition. The dresses returned Into stock are never re issued In precisely the same form, but some of them are altered and refurbished to do duty at Goodwood and elsewhere, though, curiously enough, the majority of them go to Paris, whence the "models" original ly came. It would surprise most Parls lennes to know that London supplies tho greater part of their finery. But such is the case.—London Morning. The Regiments Stent on Poison Ivy There was an unexpected development Wednesday from the march and bivouac of the Seventh an Second regiments on Monday night and Tuesday morning in Springfield, 111. The hospitals of the two regiments are crowded with men suffering from Inflammation from poison ivy. Some of the men were severely burned, and the surgeons Were kept busy treating them. When they reached camp on Monday morn ing they pulled the ivy from the trees and fence stakes, and in some cases used it for a bed. Thero were over .11)') cases of the poisoning, fully three-fourths of the men who came in contact with the vine being afflicted more or less seriously. lt is ex pected a large number of the First regi ment and Ninth battalion will be similarly poisoned before they can be warned.—Chi cago Tribune.
