FOUND A BABY OK TUB PIAZZA.
l Pretty Olrl Left at Mr. Morris'
Bouse In Bamotb.
About 9:30 last night a closed carriage
drove ap to the front gate at tbe home
of Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Morris inSamotb.
A minute later Mr. and Mrs. Morris
beard a noise and tbe husband stepped
through a winnow and onto tbe piazxa,
followed bv Mrs. Morris. A basket was
noticed bv Mr. Morris, and he called to
a man whom be saw going toward the
carnage, to stop. 1 be Cf.ll went un
heeded. Just then Mrs. Morns noticed a
bundle on tbe rusi ic seat near tbe basket.
Investigation revealed a baby.
As this discovery was madeamaa was
seen to run from the corner of tbe bouse
to the carriage, reaching which be sprang
in, tbe horses were whipped np and the
vehicle disappeared down tbe road, no
attention having been paid to tbe calls
to stop.
Mr. and Mrs. Morns took the rjuoaie
and basket into tbe bouse. In tbe bun
dle, snugly wrapped about withasbaw',
was a pretty girl baby some three or
four months old. It was nratly dressed,
and tbe basket contained a number of
garments made up for tbe baby.
There was nothing about the hild
that could lead to its idcntiBcation or
that would indicate the names of its par
ents. In tbe bundle, however, was a
sheet of paper that appeared to have
been a part of a child s copy door. jo
one side of tbe paper were scribbled a
few words in a juvenile hand. There
was a line which looked like "118 Rob.
erts street," but tbere was no signature.
Prof. H. L. King and J A. Kobcrson
were passing the bonse.saw the carriage
and endeavored to stop it. but no atten
tion was paid to their calls.
It is probable that Mr. and Mrs. Mor
ris will adopt tbe child.

dred negroes arrived in Memphis yester
day on railroads leading from Arkansas,

How-
Spavin Maaaarea to Keep
Cuba
Under tier Beel.
Niw York. March 7. Passengers on
the steamer Ynmuri, from Havana;
which arrived yesterday, did not bring
any important Lews of tbe Cuban insur
rection.; Almost all action was confined
to the Southern part of the island, in the
vicinity o( Santiago, and at Havana tbe
news received was so distorted aa to be
ludicrous. It seemed, however, as if tbe
rebels bad hardly a leg left to stand on.
If the government dispatches could be
relied noon. -
General Sangniiy, who was arrested in
Havana Feb uarv 28. will doubtless be
garroted, aceoi diag toopinionsexpressed
on the Yntnurt.
"Tbere is always more or less discon
tent in Cuba," snid a passenger, "and it
is only bv intimidation and force of exam
ple that quiet is preserved at. all. Con
sequently when tbe government has
reason to suspect any one of teaching
revolutionary doctrines, tbev try to
make an example of biminorder to deter
others. So I think Sanuity's fate is
fixed."

not be long, bat it is understood that
tbe society's influence would be used to

session set apart for five-minnte speecbe
of those desiring to arise to a question of
personal privil ge.
Knmor hue it that tbe president will oe
Wil'ixms, R. P., the Craven legislator
Lusk. the Buncombe speaker, is slated

Burnham will probably be tbe secretary.
II the society is formed there will be
some fun. In fact, tbere will be some fun
whether it is organized or not. Tbe

tbe banquet of unreason every morning.
