A Serious Charge.


Through the efforts of DIR. Dixwell and Off
GERS Burke and Gallagher of the First Division
a warrant was obtained from the Municipal
Court, Boston, on Saturday afternoon for the
arrest of Henry Kimball and William Lotus,
an engineer and fireman in the employ of the
Boston & Maine Railroad, on a charge of
cruelty to William Henry Condor, II years of
age, who resides with his parents at No. 81
Thacher street. in that city. 1t appears that
the boy had been in the habit of frequenting
the depot after school hours, and on Friday
night it is claimed that Kimball seized the boy
and thrust his head inside the boiler of his en-
CINE so that the red hot Goals singed his hair
and nearly suffocated him. A second time
this was repeated and as Condor was running
away he was caught by Kimball and returned
to the engine, when Lotus, the fireman, pour
ed a can of oil ON his head and face, and then
smeared soft coal on his hair and on his face.
The accused parties deny the cruelty charged
against them, and claim that the boy had an
noyed them in many ways. The matter was
fully investigated in the Municipal Court yes

France and, as amended, the motion was
carried by a vote of III to ll6.
Mr.. Gladstone and others disclaimed court
influence, which Mr.. Briggs had hnted in
moving his resolution.
John ID. Hutchinson (RadcaD, declared
that the Queens assent TO the project had
been given reluctantly.
Mr.. Gladstone said that although the pre-

Westminster Abbey is absolute. there is no
disposition in any quarter to trespass in any
way upon the province of the House in this
matter. | think, however. the House would
do well to avoid interference.
