Dusky Dam.eI,s Di,emma,

VINCENNEs, IND, December 15.-Colored
circles in this city have been very much torn
up for some time past over the alleged i'm
proper conduct OF Prof. Brown, principal OF
the colored school, toward one OF his pupils,
Miss Frances Carter, a dusky damsel. Ga
Thanksgiving day Miss Carter appeared be-
fore Prof. Taylor superintendent of the city
schools, and filed formal charges against
Prof. Brown, alleging that he had made base
proposals to her ON sundry occasions, the
first reci;ed being at a time last summer
when he accompanied her on berrying ex-
psdition. Prof. Taylor look the charges
under consideration, and investigation OF a
quiet nature has been going on ever
since. Up to the present time Prof.
Taylor appears to have found moth
ing OF serious character against
his colored subordinste,' who most strenuous
ly denies that the lady's charges IN toto, and
urgently Invites the most searching investi-
cation. Similar charges have at other
times been lodged against Prof. Brown, but
none of them has ever stuck, which fact in
duces Prof. Taylor and the Board of Trus-
tees TO proceed cautiously and rather doubt
fully in this case. Miss Carter live. with her
IaarOnt~ eAsrt- distaaoazsrnm the city and
she is described a maiden of more than
usual good looks, as colored girls go. Prof.
Brown has held his present position in this
city for several years with satisfaction to all
concerned, except the c0lored patrons of the
school, who, for some unexplained cause,
have long pursued him with their eRmity.

The Minnie Cummings Cases,

The suits of J. Duke Murray, Henry B. Hapgood and wife and Zelma Valdemir against Minnie Cummings came up by con- tinuance before Justice Babcock yesterday morning. The plaintiffs were all members of Miss Cummings company. She discharg- ed them and they claimed advance wages un- der written or verbal contract. Therefore they attached her baggage. The suits were against Mr. Near also but none of his prop erty was attached. The actors and actresses were present and Mir. Near. F. DeVernon was also an interested spectator. Judge w. B.

 Testimony was taken in each case
 After all the testimony was in Justice Babcock leaned toward the counsel and in- quired:

The instruments seemed to be of purer and richer tone than usual, and, with hardly an instance to mar the melody, the work was admirably performed to the end Although every number received hearty recognition, the en- core in connection with and the third number, the Swedish Wedding March, were the ohoic : est, the rendering being given with charm ing effect producing fineness and quality of tone at times similar to that of string in- struments. The enjoyment of the concert was very much heightened by the singing of Miss Louisa Fritch, who has 8 finely culti- vated soprano voice of excellent quality. Her brilliant execution showed high degree of control, and her efforts were greeted with enthusiastic encores. Mir. w. H. Stanley, who is an excellent tenor of considerable power, bringing his upper notes out full and clear, was also very successful in pleasing, as were also the several other artists in their in- strumental solos, Encores were the order of the evening, and Mir.

About 8 Railroad Fare

A case of some interest was, says the Bris- tol Press, to be tried on Saturday last. Some time since Charles Whalen and P. J. Wha len, jr.. of this place, took the cars of the Naugatuck railroad at Ansonia for Water bury. It is claimed by them that one had a ticket for Waterbury, which he delivered to the conductor, and that the other paid his fare to the same place. A companion travel ing with them paid his fare to Seymour, where he got off. After leaving Seymour the conductor demanded fare of the two Whalens, claiming that they had paid only to Seymour. They refused, and on arriving at Waterbury the conductor had 8 policeman arrest them, when, to avoid. being taken to the lookup, they paid the fare under protest. They now bring suit against the company for S1OO damages each.

The NialIeV Case,

The Hartford Post yesterday says: "The indictment of the Malley boys and Blanche Douglass by the grand jury at New Haven ,on Tuesday, was to have been expected after developments of the preliminary hearing at West Haven. No defense is put in before a grand jury, the hearing being entirely ex parte, so that upon any reasonable presump- tion of guilt the jury will invariably report & true bill, just as an inferior court will, upon a finding of facts, determine that probable cause exists and hold an accused person for trial in higher court. The finding of true bill by grand jury does not by any means necessarily afford any direct proof of guilt in many cases, and this Malley case is one of them because the whole testimony is purely circumstantial. There must now be full trial before petit jury in which the defense will have chance to make the most of all points which may be urged as proof of inno- cence or advanced ingeniously, if the case is desperate, to divide the jury. It is not yet decided when the trial will take place. When it does there will be very little hope of con viction under the indictment unless there is much more to bring against the accused than has yet been brought to light by the prose-
 cutors. That the Malley boys know every thing concerning the fate of Jennie Cramer is hardly to be denied, because they were with her almost if not quite up to the last moment of her life, and there is probably only one other person who can tell the true story of her death and that person is Blanche Douglass, who is held in partnership with the others as being guilty of murder. Let State Attorney Doolittle persuade this woman to tell what she knows and possibly then the whole mystery will be removed, and upon her testimony the Malleys may be found guilty of either murder or msnslaughter.
