The Rounds Forgery Case.

In May, 1882, Samuel Rounds was tried
for forgery and the jury disagreed. In Sep
TENDER following he was convicted. The
case was taken to the law court on excep-
tions. The exceptions were overruled, and
in May, 1888, Rounds was sentenced to the
State prison for three years. A writ of error
was afterwards sued out and stay of pro-
ceedings was granted. Rounds was removed
from the State prison on writ of habeas
corpus He was allowed to remain in Port
land jail until he should be released on bail,
but he failed to procure bail. The writ of
error was returnable at the October term of
the Supreme Court, in 1884 In the April
term, 1885, the writ was reported to the law
court. 1t is expected that this writ of error
will come up this morning. Attorney Gen

Says He Was Knocked Down and
Rohbed

About 1.30 o'clock Sunday morning, Officer
Felker of Station g. Boston, found man
wandering on Blue Hill avenue, near Grove
Hall, hatless aad evidently in somewhat
dazed condition. On being taken to the sta
ton he gave his name as Selden Taylor 6S
years of age, and told the following story:
He was in East Boston just previous to the
shower last Saturday night, and had in his
possession a ticket for Portland, Me. Com
ing to the city proper he found that he had
missed his train, and thereupon stepped into
the saloon of James keenan, on Portland
street. He left there for short walk, and
when on fremont street, near the Common,
was struck from behind, knocked down, and
robbed of $50 in money, his ticket and his
yalise containing some clothing The two
men who made the assault he can only de-
scribe as being thickset and powerful. He
was given lodging in the station and sent
home early Sunday morning.

Drowning Accident at Cumberland
Mills,

Freddie NJ, little son of Nathan Cover,
about years old, was drowned near the
Mills yesterday morning, about half past
nine o'clock. He was taken out of the water
half an hour later and every means were
used to resuscitate him, but without avail.
Freddie was bright little fellow and much
beloved by all his companions. His pleasant
face will be missed in the Sabbath School in
which he was great favorite. 1t seems that
four or five little boys were playing on a boom
in the river, and Freddie slipped off and
sank Immediately The parents were well
satisfied that it was an unavoidable accident
and nobody to blame. An inquest was
deemed unnecessary by Coroner Gould, who
was called.

A New Fire Ladder,

Chief Engineer Cloyes of the Fire Depart
ment has patented and had ON exhibition, at
his store yesterday, a fire ladder, to be EN-
ployed in cases where ladder is needed to
reach the roof of an ell at its connection
with the main house, and when hip roof
requires one leg of the ladder to be shorter
than the other. One leg of this ladder is pro-
vided with slide so that the leg can be any
required length and yet perfectly firm. The
ladder is highly spoken of by experts who
have seen it. 1t is also useful in any case
where the space is contracted for the use of
the ladder, and one leg can be placed on
step OF box.
