A Strange story.
A FORMER TROY WOMAN CHANGES HER
SEX AND MARRIEs A WOMAN.

A FORMER TROY WOMAN CHANuEo Inn
SEX AND MARRIEs A WOMAN.
Strange revelations concerning young
lady about twenty-three years olu,
whose relatives and friends still reside
in this city, but who herself have lor
wears past resided out west, has JUST
come to light. From childhood the
Young lady was distinguished by pc
culiar and striking harshness OF voice.
She was a quick pupil when she at
tended our public schools, and was I'M
usually proficient in many little accom-
plishments peculiar to the fair sex. Al
ter leaving school she removed from
Troy, and has resided atsthe west ever
since-never ut.once having visited her
home since the day of her departure.
Recently her marriage was announced,
but no notice of it was published in the
Troy papers. 1t is now revealed that
for some time past the young woman has
worn male habiliments, and adorned the
sex to which she now properly belongs:
The fact that she Cor rather he) married
a young lady, accounts for the non
publicity of the ceremony. Years ago
a life insurance policy was issued TO the
Chem young lady, and since the mar
rage sheer rather he-made applica-
ton for new policy, the strange cir
cumstance Of her life making it neces-
sary for her to sell the old policy and
issue new one as the identity of the
person appeared to have changed. The
Young man-fOr such she now is to all
intents and purposes paid visit to
Troy recently and was unknown even
by the best friends of has girlhood-
young lady friends with whom the most
intimate and cordial friendship and as
seciation existed. His parents are num-
bered with our most worthy people
whose. feelings in the matter may be i'm
agined. Inasmuch as this affair has
been publicly talked of and discussed
we have given it truthful publicity, but
deem it unnecessary to mention names
of the parties interested.
Some three or four years ago the pa
pers of the city mentioned similar case,
which will doubtless be readily recalled,
viz, that of big, burly saloon keeper
on Fourth. street, just above Congress,
who suddenly left the city when the dis
covery was made that the supposed man
was in reality woman who for years
had worn the disguise eff manhood, de-
flying all detection --. ....
Such cases are quite rare aud yet seem
to be occasionally well authenticated.
BRUTAL. ASSAULT Mr.. Joseph Morse,
of Leicester, was made the subject of a
brutal assault on the evening of the Sd
inst, which resulted in serious injury.
The circumstances are as follows: Mr..
Morse had been to Middlebury, having
business at the County Court now in
session, and was on his way home. AS
he was passing the house of Mr. Barker
in Leicester, in the night, he was accosted
by man hallooing to him, and as he
slackened the speed of his horse, think
ng some one wanted to ride, two men
rushed upon him, one selling the horse
by the head, while the other jumped into
the hind end of the wagon and Selling
him by throwing one arm around his
neck, commenced pounding him in the
face with the other, and by the severity
of the blows binding him. Soon he was
pulled backwards from his wagon on to
/ the ground, breaking his arm. While on
the ground the man jumped on him and
pounded and kicked him in a terrible
manner After leaving him almost dead,
the scoundrels ran away. When he had
sufficiently come TO himself he managed
to get home Mr.. Morse was lucky to
recognize the men, who proved to be
parties he had had trouble with. They
were two Bronsons, and took this method
to carry ont their murderous feelings of
revenge. 1t is wonder that Mr.. Morse
was not killed. The case was laid be-
fore the grand jury of the county now
in session, and bill found against them.
The case is one that will no doubt result
in a severe punishmens TO the cowardly
assailants. Mr.. Morse is q very highly
respected citizen and widely known in
the county. One of the villains went TO
town grand juror and complained of
himself, thinking this would shield him
from further prosecution and punish
ment.
LEICESTER LMR.-There has been
shipped from Leicester Junction, since
January l, 1878, by the Lime Company,
A, 529 bushels of lime, in monthly ship
ments as follows;
January, $40 bushels.
February, 7, 1891
March, 9,263t q
April, -, 359
May, 1899
Averaging nearly 5000 bushels per
month. The lime is used by the Boston
Gas Light Company, who take from
to nine car loads a month, and by
sugar reiners in Boston, New York and
Baltimore; also by some of the heavi-
est paper manufacturers in New Eng
land.
1t ranks A. No. /. as lime for all
kinds of masonry, and cannot be ex-
celled for, plastering. 1t is of fine,
white quality, and is used extensively
for allpurposes where lime is used. The
increasing demand for it keeps two
kilns running. The company employ
from % to 30 men, aside from the coop
er's shop, which keeps from three to
five men. The kilns are furnished with
stone by car which runs from the
ledge about ninety rods distant.
The box is hoisted by horse power
and swings around over the kilns, open
ing in the middle, discharging from three
to four tons of stone at once.
Lime is drawn out once in six hours,
giving chance for the uncooked stone
to fall down near the fires.
The lime has been called the Whiting
lime, but it is not in Whiting, as it is in
the town of Leicester, near the sta.
ton.
