The Death of Arthur Ryan.

The trial of Andrew j. Lynch for
manslaughtcr in causing the death of
Arthur VI. Ryan was had in the Supe-
rior Court in Boston last week. Ryan
WIS formerly from PasSumpsic where
his fathers family used to live. The
testimony WAS that on the 18th of Sept.
Ryan was driving up Bedford street.
Boston. when he met Lynch who WAS
driving Il hcav, truck. The buggy and
truck collidcd, throwing Ryan ont and
fractuling his skull. The Government
attempted to show that Lynch dclibcr-
atclv run Ryan down-that there was
not room between the truck and curb
stone for the buggy to pass. The de-
fence offered evidence t" show that RN-
an WAS intoxicated that just before
the accident he barely escaped collid-
ing with hack, and that he held both
rcims and whip iii his left hand, while
his head rested upon his chest us though
in Il browse. The evidence was CON
tlicting on several points. The jury
gave il verdict of not guilty. 1t will
he remembered that after Ryan's body
was brought 10 PaSsumpSic and buried,
| il WAS diSim erred and taken back t,
Boston for examination before the cor
oner'S inquest.

Attempted Store-Breaking.

The clerk who works for j. {. Gray
could not unlock the door of his grocery
store in Union block, Monday morning,
and So reported to the proprietor. MI.
GRAY gained an entrance some other

part of IL skeleton key in the same.
Some parties had made Il plain key and
covered il with wax, expecting to get
an IMPRESSION of the tumblcIS of the
lock in the wax and then tit the key.
This spurious key WAS rather thick and
probably stuck. and in attempting t"
turn il. the would-be burglars unbr'IZed
the lever from the stem OF tn" key,
leaving the lever part in the lock where
Mr.. GRAY found it, 1t is probable that

The discovery of this attempt 1T bur

trial and he is again adjudged guilty.
The case ct Miss Beard is peculiarly
hard; yet one very difficult to Law blame
Impartially. She went from Barnet
t" Wells River with Il boy nephew, to
attend Il circus. She was left by the
afternoon train at Wells River. At ten
O'Clock at night she went with the boy
To the station, having been told (wronp-
~ that Il train WAS going north about
That time. 1t WaS IL dark night and
there was no light in the depot. Two
or three men were sitting on the
bench, and after waiting there awhile
until satisfied no train was coming. she
undcrtook to go back to the village.
She waS afraid to 90 10y where these
men were Slttlng,-the way she came
and with the boy, CROPPED down some
stairs north of the building. and fell off
the platform put there by the Express
Co., from which to load freight upon IL
wagon. BY this fall she received such
injury to one hip as has given her great
suffering and made her IL cripple for
life. Surgeons say she can never get
about again only with crutcI. The
railroad claimed of course that they
were not responsible; that she had no
business there at that time that no
train was due: hut chiefly that this
platform WAS built 10y the Express Co..
and WAS not on their land. The nature
of the injury was Il matter of difference
among the surgeons. and much medical
testimony and conflict WAS cliitcd.
