ERIE, Pa, Jan. "a distressing case of
cruelty to little girl has been brought to
light by the arrest Of Mr.. Schroeder and
his wife for inhumanity to his daughter
Annie, aged six years, by a former wife.
The girl was placed in home for the
friendless by persons who discovered her
revolving condition, and the parents were
arrested. The child was made to live like
a wild animal, was almost destitute of
clothing, and has been subjected to bru-
tality unparalleled. She was not allowed
to wash, and dirt and filth had accumu-
lated on her skin until she presented g.
most loathesome appearance. Instead
Of allowing her to sit ''at the table,,
scraps were thrown to | her on
the floor as crumbs to a dog. She was
compelled to sleep on two hard chairs
without proper beeding, with nothing to
protect her feet from the bitter cold that
prevailed. Some weeks ago her feet be-
came frost bitten while dangling over the
chair No attention was paid TO the frozen.
feet and soon the feet and limbs turned
black and swelled almost to bursting. When
discovered her left ear was partially sever
ed, ulcers around the nostrils prevented
her from breathing, except through the
mouth. Her lip was like malignant ul-
Ger, and her body was covered with Tester
ing sores, bruises and gaping cracks in the
skin. The defendants denied the charge,
and while admitting the sickening condi-
ton of the child, declared it was through
no fault of theirs. They pleaded poverty
for not providing her with more warmth
and better clothing, although it was no
ticeable that they were warmly clad them
selves. They were held over for trial.

TRAGEDY IN A BALLROOM.
LYNcHBURG, Va, Jan. At ball in
Bedford county Saturday night young
lady, Idelle Read, said to Scott Clayton,
who was calling the figures, that he was

dale. The latter called Clayton out. Hot
words passed, and Barksdale drew knife,
sprang on Clayton and inflicted a horrible
cash from the right eye to the back of the
neck, severing the jugular vein and caus-
ing immediate death. The scene in the
ballroom was sickening. Women in
fancy ball dresses tainted, falling into the
pools of blood, and regular melee followed
among the partisans of the two men.

ering to another part of the county bor-
rowed gun and completed the tragedy
by shooting himself through the bowels.
