BUT EVIDENCES ARE SWEPT AWAY The Report lias the Appearance, of a Hoax, But Several Cltliens Btou'.ly Assert That It la Founded Upon Facts and They Saw the Body. No little excitement was occasioned in town to-day by a report that the mutilated remains of an infant ehlld had been found in the creek near the Indian Uldge colliery. Mutilation beiug coupled with the find led to many expressions ef indignation and con demnation. Dr. C. S. Phillips was the first to be In formed of the dbflofery and lie notified Health Officer Oonry. This handling of tho information temTsu to in create the in terest which had best! aroused and foi sev eral hours additional information concerning the matter was eagerly sought. Later de velopments gave the report the complexion of a hoax, but thoro wero some very un pleasrtut fnpts In ponftectlon with It. The morung Defective Amour and a re porter went to tho njaee at which the dis covery was alleged to have been made and could see no remains of a child, or any trace Of flip JKste board shoe box n wh'oh the body was alleged to have rested. When the detective and newspaper man wero about lu loavo the place satisfied that the report was a fumg they met two well known residents or the lotstlity who vouched for the truth of the story. Ono of them slated that shortly after ten o'clock last night he olwerved a woman walking along the ereok suddenly thrown package into tho water and then walk hurriedly away. The suspicions of the In formant were aroused by the woman's actions and the jiart of Iho orepk whefe the package had been thrown was visilcd by several men who had been told of the occurrence. With the aid of a miners' lamp the packago was in spected and all who giizcd upon it that the contents of the pasto board shoo box they found were the remains of an apiwrent )y new born child which had been ter ribly mutilated. None in the party would touch the ghastly fld and it was decided ki leave it In Ife resting place until this morn ing, when the authorities would be notified. This morning the only trace left was a piece of red twine with which the box had been tied. What bepamp of tho rest of tlio find no one is able to tell. Some believo a flush In the water oarried it down tlio creek, while others think tho party who tbrew tho un sightly packago into the oreok returned later in tho night aud removed it to a more se cluded place, Tho informant is posit I vo in ids roeilal aud says tho woman he saw was about 5 feut 1 inch high, weighs' between 1.10 and 1B0 liouuds, and wore a black sun bonnet and a light wmppor. Hho hnrrleil uwny In a north westerly direction, towards tho Lehigh Val ley railroad. When asked why he didn't try to Intorcept tho woman when his sus plclons wero aroused, ho replied that she was too quick for him, and it was not until aftor the packago had been Inspected that he fully realized the conditions. It is not likely that there will bo any more developments in con nection witli tlio matlor, us the basis of op eration? would be the possession of the re mains, and they appear to havo passed into complete oblivion.

STORER MINISTER TO BELGIUM I Senator Forakcr, Who Opposed the Latter's Selection as First Assistant Secre tary of State, Will Hot Objeot to His Diplomatic Ap pointment. Washington, April 24. President Mc IClnleyhaa derided to nominate William It. Day, of Canton, O.. to be first as sistant secretary of state, and ex-ltep-reseutatlve Bellamy Storer, of Cincin nati, O., to be minister -to Belgium. These nominations were to have been sent to the senate yesterday, but-owing to that body's adjournment over until Monday will not go until next week. The lining of the oflloa of first as sistant to Secretary Sherman ends a Vexatious problem that bothered the president considerably. Mr. Storer waa slated originally for this appointment, but the nomination waa opposed stren uously by Senator Foraker and other Well known Ohio Republicans. The selection of Judge Day to be first assistant secretary of state over turns the plans of the president to send JDDQK WILLIAM K. DAY. him to Cuba aa special counsel to watch the prosecution of the llulz In vestigation. It would be without pre cedent for Buch an official as the first assistant secretary to go to unother country to prosecute a case when later on he might have to engage In diplo mats negotiations with that same country on other subjects. Judge Day-said today that as he had been selected for the position of as sistant secretary of state he would not make the trip to Havana to con duct the Investigation Into Ruiz's death. The Investigation, however, would not be abandoned, but would be made by someone else, but who would conduct it he did not know. He ad mitted that his selection for the as sistant secretaryship was a surprise to him, as he had made all. his arrange ments to go to Havana. Senator Foraker will not oppose Mr, Storer's nomination to be minister to Belgium, his objections not extending to a foreign mission. Bellamy Storer. the new minister to Belgium. Is a native of Cincinnati, where he was born In 1847, and has lived since his graduation from Har vard In 1867. He Is a practicing attor ney, and was first elected to the Fifty first congress, serving on the foreign affairs oomm It tee and taking; a prom inent part In debates on diplomatic questions, and also on Interstate com merce legislative problems, Plilltpplno InsuruontH VIotorlous.
