A Leading German Republican Paper in
Indiana Declares for Hancock.
The DeutscAe Zeitung, published at New
Albany, Ind,, an ably conducted Republi-
can paper, came out on the 25th Of Sep
tember for Hancock and English and the
Democratic state and county tickets. Its
publishers announce that they have be-
come tired Of the conduct and methods of
the Republican party and say that the
German voters desire the restor-
alton Of peace and good feeling
between the North and the South.
Therefore the newspaper feels bound to
follow the bulk Of its readers and support
the Democratic party. The editor, Mr..
Otto Palmer, man of great influence in
his section, says the change is due solely
to the conviction and belief that the time
has como for a change in the administra-
ton Of the government, because harmony
and good will between the sections cannot
be secured without it. He feels bound to
declare that in reaching this conclusion he
has been greatly influenced by the words
and deeds Of men like Judge Stallo, Jacob
Muller and Kocrner, all of whom, formerly
Republicans, now urge their countrymen
to support the Democratic ticket.

Indictments.

Only Fourteen Years Old and Under Three
Indictments.
The New York Sun of THU sday morn
ing says: Annie Martin, fair faced, blue
eyed girl Of fourteen, was on trial in the
Kings county court of sessions yesterday,
on charges of burglary in the third degree
and grand larceny. She wore short
dress, and from beneath Derby hat there
fell over her shoulders an abundance of
auburn curls. She seemed wholly undis-
turbed by her surroundings and listened to
all of the testimony against her with per-
feet composure. The court room was
crowded, rs her parents are respectable
people, and she had alleged that the goods
which she had pawned, and which were
identified as having been stolen
from neighbors, had been given to
her by her father. Most OF the goods
were found in Goodstein's pawn
shop, in Bridge street, where the girl
gave the name Of Smith. and said that she
lived in De Kalb avenue. There are three
indictments for burglary and grand larceny
against her. She is accused of having ell
tered tho apartments of Miss Theresa
Tracy, at 900 Atlantic avenue, Oh August
81, with false keys, and stolen seventeen
yards of silk worth $3.50 yard. This was
recovered. She is also accused of having
entered the apartments of Mrs. Rose, at
1885 Pacific street, and stolen roll of silk
and a silk dress worth $50. She admitted
having stolen these goods, and said that
she found tho key to Mrs. Roses apart
ments in the back yarl. Although she
professed to have pawned these goods.
they have never been recovered. She is
also accused of having entered the apart
ments of Andrew johnson, at 1887 Pacific
street, and stolen $25 in money. . diamond
pin, watch, a chain, a charm, and 4 re-
vOlver. The goods were recovered in 4
pawn shop.
When Detective Bartholomew Curran,
of the Bergen street police station, obtain
ed description of the alleged girl burglar
from persons who had seen her enter Mrs.
Tracy's house, he found it corresponded
with that of the girl who gave her name
as Smith to the pawnbroker. In search
ing the vicinity of the robberies he en-
Annie Nurtha. He gave q
woman ten cents to send her to a drug
store near by, that he might arrest
her away from home. and keep her
arrest 4 secret until he had searched
the house. He found four pawn tickets
there, and by means of these, he recovered
most Of the goods. Much indignation was
at the detectives method Of ar
resting the girl, and DR.. Howard, a physi-
clan who testified in her behalf yesterday,
published card at the time, saying that
if tho detective had arrested his daughter
in that way the coroner would have had
to do with the result.
The girls defense was that her father
had given her articles which she had
pawned, and that she did not know where
they came from. Her father, however,
did not appear in court to corroborate her
testimony.

On account of the girls youth, asked for a
