CRUELTY TO CHILD.-Amy White, n
colored girl fifteen years old, has been lodg-
ed in jail at Chester, S. c., charged with
assaulting and attempting to murder the
four-year.old daughter of Randolph Jordan,
q well-to.do farmer living near Fort Lawn.
Amy had been employed for several years
by Jordan, who thought her u capable and
honest nurse, who appeared to idoize the
child. On Thursday, however, she seemed
to have been crazy to take life, for, taking
the child out into the yard, she struck it on
the head with fence rail, dragged it into
the stable, and choked and otherwise as.
saulted it. In the midst of her work she
was called to the house by Mrs Jordan.
Leaving her little victim she went to the
house, attended to what was wanted of her,
and then returned 10 the stable. Finding
the child still alive she began stamping it
with her feet Being again called by the
mother and fearing detection, she carried
the child to the house and told Mrs Jordan
that tn. horse had kicked it, Suspicion
was aroused, and Il colurcd woman who had
seen part "r the cruelty told of it. The
child on rcsaiuIn4 consciousness verified
the suspicion. Amy, after her arrest, con-
fessed, aud said that she intended to kill
the child. She has also confessed that she
burned JorGan's residence last spring. or
this crime she had never been suspected.
When asked what her motives were Amy
said she did it for devilment. The child is
in a critical condition.

ing incidents of the trial have engrossed the
attention of the people, and yesterday, the
last day of the trial, tho court house was
crowded with men and women anxious to
witness the closing scenes. When the peo-
pie were leaving Immediately after the ad-

that followed was appalling. Immense
masses of masonry from above crashed down
upon the struggling people below, grinding
through their flesh and bones and manning
and mutilatinS them in a horrible manner.
The fall of the staircase and the shreks of
the people lying helpless III the ruins caused
a panic in tho courtroom, and there was
were in front were unable to Withstand the
pressure from behind, and were hurled
down upon the men and women crushed in

A Bloody Shirt Harangue.

SPRINGFIELD, o., June 1.-The follow
ing is synopsis of the address Of Hon. j..
D. Taylor. temporary chairman of the Ohio
republican State convention, which he de-
livered here to day. Referring to the out
come of the last Presidential election, Mr..
Taylor began his address by saying: "Since
you last met in convention the most anon
alous event in history has lranspired in our
country. BY combination Of crimes, ac-
cidents and bunders this government, with
all it's great interests, has passed out of the
control OF the party that saved it from
treason and disunion into the hands ola party
which, through its leaders, sought for four
long and bloody years To tear it from its
proud place among the nations of the earth,
and hurl It's discovered fragments into the
vortex ut anarchy and dissolution. This
crime of crimes, condOncd by tho over
magnnnimity OF the republican party una
toned for and urrepented OF by its chief
participants, reara It's head again in the
government 1T Washington. The soldiers
of this Union, brave defenders Of their coun-
try's honor, have suffered the humiliation
of seeing the men they fought and vanquish-
ed on the field, elevated to the highest
places of tho nation and entrusted with the
public welfare. This stigma must he wiped
out, and here The work mist hegu to he
completed in 1885" The success ofthe dem
ocralic party las; fall, the speaker said, was
but half success, and that this year every
nerve ofthe administration would be strained
to win the victory in Ohio, New York and
Virginia, needed 10 ratlfy its doubtful titleto
the Presidency. The speaker mad no criti-
cisms to make on President Cleveland, whom
party leaders behind him. He spoke ofJef-
ferson Davis as the arch traitor" and point
ed to the fact that 'his eulogist, The man who
was The trusted aud confidential agent of
the Confederacy abroad during the war, was
to-day at the head of the department which
controls all the pension interests of the
Union soldiers, and was honoIed with seat
in the Presidents cabinet" Speaking of
the conflict of labor, Mr.. Taylor said both
labor and capital are being driven into
bankruptcy ard ruin. Under democratic
rule in the South the laborng classes have
been kept in condition Of ignorance and
vassalage equal to if not worse than the
pauper labor Of Europe" In conclusion,
the speaker said I'VE will carry Ohio this
year, and we will carry the country in 1883
as certainly as the stars are in the armament
above, if republicans do their duty.
