The good work accomplished by the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union of this city,
cannot be over estimated.
Perhaps the most direct benefit of employ
ing faithful and efficient woman at the DO
lice station is that many young girls through
her efforts have been taken from their evil
surroundings and placed in the Industrial
Home, where the foundation is laid for useful
lives. The society has sent six girls between
the ages Of ten and fifteen, to the Home dur
ing the past three years. One of these had in
of the society both have reformed, and en-
ployment has beefound for the father and 9TH
er members of the family.
Another case is that of woman who was
constantly at the police station with the record
of common drunkard." She has been under
the charge of the society for more than two
years, and during that time has been at the
station but once. She has not entirely re-
formed, but her appetite for strong drink is
every day becoming less. and there is great
reason for hope that it will soon be overcome.
When we consider the injury to life and
property, and the crimes committed by an in
toxicated person, aside from the reformatory
influence) is it not worth something to the city
in pecuniary point of view, to have this mis-
sion sustained? This woman has been fur
nished with work, her home moved to re-
spectacle locality, and daughter sent to the
for common drunkard," can the difference
to the world or the city be estimated in money
value?
These are some of the many cases which
might be cited to show something of this
branch of the work of the society. To keep
the many claimants of their protection under
direct and constant influence demands pa
tience, time and money. For the latter the
society appeals to a generous public for pat

Serious Charges Against seamen.

SERIOUS CnargeS Against S6amon.
The barque Isaac Jackson, Capt. WEIGH, ar
in Boston Tuesday from Buenos Ayres, and
was at once boarded by Patrolmen Mereen and
McCausland of the harbor police, who arrest
Joseph Ross, Andreas Transeva and Lewis
Anderson, Ross being the cabin boy, and the
others seamen, on the complaint of the cap.
tain, who charges them with The larceny OF
liquor and other stores from the cabin, and al
so charges Ross with an attempt to poison the
officers of the ship. The missing articles were
found on the 9th of November, and several OF
them have confessed to the larceny. Ross has
also admitted putting 80 drops of laudanum,
from the medicine chest, in the cabin coffee.
The second mate, Mr.. Roberts, was made sick
by the drug, and none of the other officers par
took Of it.
Yesterday the men were brought before
Commissioner Hallett. Ross was held in $500
for trial in tho Circuit Court, and the others
in $500 each for further examination to-day.
The evidence showed that while the vessel lay
in Buenos Ayres. the defendants, having stol-
en- large quantity of property belonging to
the officers and to the ship, built raft, and.
in the night time, took the plumber ashore and
were arrested by the coast guard. During the
passage home more stolen property was found
in the thieves possession.
Capt. WEIGH of the barque testified that
Ross, the cabin boy, admitted to him having
put the two mates to sleep with laudanum, SO
that the robbery might be effected without dis
covery. The defendants counsel profess abili-
ty to make out case of cruelty on the part OF
the captain, which justified the men in at
tempting to desert the ship.
