ENLARGING

PREPARING FOR THE RUSH OF ST. LOUIS TRAVEL THAT WILL COME SOON. v LOCAL RESTAURANT Will Construct an Addition on the West Side Facilities to Be Increased. The restaurants along the line of the Pennsylvania-Vandalia railroad, probably the shortest and quickest way to the fair, are getting things ready preparatory to an enlargement of their facilities, the enlargement due to the lack of accomodations for the feeding of the large numbers of people who jump off the St. Louis bound trains, shout "Sandwich cup o' coffee," bolt their food and are back again on the train in five minutes. Mr. Dwyer, manager of the restaurant at the Richmond station, will soon receive the plans for an ad dition, to be built on the west wall of j the depot, which addition will be of the same size as the present restaurant, but only temporary. Doors and passageways will be made between the two rooms and the restaurant will be in condition to do the large business expected. Extra waiters will be secured, the cooking apparatus increased and enlarged and several minor improvements, all tending to the increase of accomodations, will be made.

IN AN ALLEY BODY OF A CHILD AT LEAST ONE MONTH OLD FISHED OUT OF SEWER In the Alley Between South Eighth And Ninth and B and C.

This morning while Henry Taylor and Robert Davis Avere digging to tap a seAver in the alley betAveen south eighth and ninth streets, between B and C, they made a startling discov ery, ihe sewer Avas clogged and they lifted the lid off the manhole to see Avhat the obstruction Avas. They saw a bundle down in the hole and fished it out. It Avas a coffee sack and upon opening it they Avere horrified to find it contained the remains of an infant child, about one month old. rm 11 i ill-lit" ine uauvT Avas a dot Aviin DiacK nair i l and had on a little shirt, a diaper and a pair of black stockings, all neatly pi.med Avith safety pins. The body Avas l.ot very badly decomposed. Coroner Markley Avas called and made an examination. He said it Avas his opinion that the child was about a month old and had probably been in the seAver for thirty days. As far as he could observe there were no marks of A-iolence and it is more than likely the child Avas thrown into the seAver Avhile aliA'e. Or if not that it was let die from want of attention. The remains Avere turned over to the county for burial. Supt. Gormon Avas soon on hand and A'ieA-ed the situation. He will use every means knoAvn to him to ferret j out the perpetrators of the inhuman, act and bring them to justice. A large crowd of men, women and children soon gathered, but Dr. Markley allowed no children to come near the-ffhasriy- sight.-AH kmdTf thr?o-i ries were advanced and the whole neighborhood is thoroughly aroused over the affair.

The Druids will give a carnival. This was decided ultimately yesterday Avhen a delegation from this city went to Muncie to see the Mundy CarniA'al company managers and to make arrangements whereby thi? company will furnish the amusement at the Druid carnival. A delegation Avent to Dayton when this company was there, but no satisfactory plans and arrangements could be agreed upon. The Mundy Carnival company is a A-ery fine one, finer probably than the Ferari company, and the Druids should make money. The date has not been decided upon for several reasons, but will, it is thought be an nounced soon. FALSE REPORT Puublished in One of the Last Night.
