singular Cruelty Which Is Alleged
Against an East New York Couple.
IN. Y SUM-

a frame house on Dean streetnear Sack
man avenue, East New York, is occupied
only by Robert Melville, carpenter, his
wife Eliza AMI Annie Melville, their
twelve year-old orphan niece. The latter,
it is said, was never allowed to mingle
with the other children of the neighbor-
hood. The attention of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children was di-
rected to the case few days ago through
nm anonymous note, and yesterday Officer
James McComb visited the house unex-
pectedly. lie found the girl tied TO the
floor in the basement. There was a staple
in the floor, and to this was fastened
piece of rope about a yard long. There
was another piece of rope around the
child's waist, from which descended
loop. A paddock fastened this loop to the
rope attached to the staple. The girl was
seated, half naked, on stool when
McComb entered, and she begged him to
release her,
The rope was three-q quarters Of an inch
in thickness, and was made of an extra
quality of braided cord. At night, the
girl said, she was removed to a small dark
room upstairs, where also she was locked
to the floor, rope extending from the fl DOR
to the .oop at her waist, which was never
removed. The rope was just long enough
| to enable her to throw herself on the bag
! of rags which served for her bed.
McComb released the girl, cut the rope
| from her waist, and took possession Of the
other instruments of torture. A doctor
Subsequently examined the girl, and found
that the rope belt, which had not been Off
her waist for fifteen months, was four
inches shorter than the normal measure
ment of her waist Her physical health
did not seem to have been seriously affect
ed. There are unmistakable signs of mem
tai weakness, which, it is feared, are in
durable. Melville and his wife said the
girl was wild, and they tied her up to cure
her Of her bad habits.
The girl said she was the daughter Of
DR.. Melville, of Peoria, who died four or
five years ago. She remembered the time
when she and her two brotSers lived at
home in Peoria. II was a big house, and
there was fine furniture. It's believed that
the girls father was wealthy, and that
some money was left to her.

John Bright was born in 1911. He
made a tour of the Holy Land at the
age of twenty-four, but did not decide
to purchase it owing to the existence of
a flaw in the title. He next began to
invent things, On his return from the
Orient, he discovered that Whatwa most
needed in both Europe and America
was a good, reliable disease for the use
of the better classes. The poor and
humble were well supplied, but the
rich, the aristocratic and patrcan states
men, comed heads and porkists of the
two lands languished for Il good relia-
BILE disease that poor people could not
obtain So he began to sit up nights
and perfect Brght's disease. He gained
the prize at the Paris exposition and
honorable mention at the great centen-
NAL celebration at Philadelphia "for
meritoriOus and effective diseases for
the better classcs.N Since that time he
has been gratified to notice that the

MIR. Bright has all the time attracted
attention as a good, fluent public
speaker, and the author of a volume

Whether he succeeds in securing q
large monument or not, it is thought he
will never be forgotten, for wherever
the English languish is spoken, Bright's

in public speech that he cared not who
made the laws for nation if he could

Academy Notes.
The young ladies were given the OPP
portunity Monday of viewing the glO-
ries of autumn from the academy bel
fry, which many improved.
Chestnut bells are getting very nu-
merous, and their festive tinkle can be
heard from beneath many a childish
jacket.
The senior reception Friday evening
was all that could be desired. Every
thing passed off well, and it was pro-
nounced one of the most successful of
all that have ever been given. Printed
programs were distributed, the final
injunction of which many to their sOr-
row did not heed. Both addresses
were unexceptiOnally fine. The intro
ductiOn committee did their duty faith
fully, and we trust many new ac-
quaintances have been made. The re-
ception was specially favored by the
presence of most of the teachers and
one or two outsiders. Much credit is
due the managing committee under
whose supervision the program was
arranged and carried out. The open
ing address was by c. p. Matthews ;
closing address by Frank Crawford /;

God in the Constitution.

Rev. j. N. Foster of Cincinnati, dis
trict secretary of the National Reform
association, delivered a forcible ad-
dress at the Presbyterian church Mon
day evening. The object of the asso-
citation which he represents, as stated
by Mr.. Foster, is to conserve the Chris
tian features of our government and to
place our nation into a proper relation
to God, the specific point in view being
to put into the preamble of the cOnsti-
tuition, which now contains no recOgni-
ton of God or the Bible, distinct
statement recognizing God as the foun-
tain head of all law, ~ because the
powers of the state come from God, (2)
because the laws of the state come from
God and, finally, it is an act of homage
due from the nation to the nations
God. Under the second head the
speaker held that the state is the di-
vinely appointed keeper of both tables
of the decalOgue and took up the com
mandments in order, vigorously dis
cussing some of the questions that are
commanding attention to-day includ-
ing the Chinese question, divorce laws,
family relations, intemperance, etc.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev. F. E. Dawson, Rev. E. T.
Sanford pronouncing the benedictiOn
at the close. The speaker was intro
duced by Rev. w. r. Laird, pastor OF
the church, who offered remarks at the
close of the address pertinent to the
occasion.

This quartette made it's first appear
ance in concert Tuesday evening. Mu-

present. An excellent program was
presented, however, the quartette be-

fore leaving town, Mrs. p. F. Hazen,
cOntraltO, Miss M. E. Stone accompan-
list and G. NJ. Cheney, clarinet. Four
of the IL numbers were by the quar-
tette there were two solos, one by
Mrs. Wallace and one by Mrs. Hazen,
both of which were deservedly en-
cored, and duets and trios by the rest
of the company" The selections
were of high order and were well
rendered in spite of the zero temper
AZURE of the hall, and the beggarly ar
ray of empty benches that are pretty
sure to greet an entertainment by
local talent. The clarinet solo by Mr..
Cheney was an unexpected pleasure

ELECTRICITY.

Very cOsey quarters have been ar
ranged for the electrical business at
the scale works. The building that
has been put up for this purpose is just
inside the main entrance; the ground
floor, cOmmOdious we'll lighted room,
being set apart for the engine and dy-
namO and the upper floor for testing
and storage purposes. The eide" en-
CINE that furnishes the power is a beau
ty, specially adapted for the business
and, as usually run, of 40 horse power.
The dynamo is what is known as 80
light power and is of the most ap-
proved pattern. Electrician Jones has
made one or two successful prelimina-
ry experiments and has tested some of
the lights, but the work has progress
sed rather slowly because of the pres
sure of other business in the scale de-
partment. The light that will be man
ufactured here is the "arc" light, and
soon the company will be in thorough
working order and prepared to furnish
complete electric light plants for towns
or private cOmpanys, or electrical ap-
paratus of any kind. A sample light
will probably be in operation soon at
the scale works.
The little electrical lifting machine
that has attracted so much attention
is success and the making of them
seems likely to develop into large
industry. Wherever they have been
put they have earned money enough
to make the investment safe and
profitable one, in spite of the fact that
the boys have learned the trick of
holding the handle up and thus get
ting dozen or more Gifts" for the
same nickle. The machine will soon
be changed, however, so as to obviate
this difficulty. Success to the new
industry in st. JOhnsbury.

Business at the Scale Shops.

Business is brisk at the Fairbanks
scale works, some of the men being
obliged to work nights in order to keep
up with the orders. The regular bust
ness of the works is decidedly improv-
ed, while an unusual number of spec
ial orders for large railroad scales and
large hay scales are in hand. Between
$500 and 5000 business letters were re-
ceived by the company in September
and all the straws point to improved
business now and still greater gains in
the immediate future.

A Good Word for the Methodists.

Rev. G. w. I'll. Clark of the MethO-

Our meetings are well attended our
leading men are present as general
thing, and they are not only hearers
of the word, but they are efficient la
borers with the Master, hence all our
time is improved, and not often are we
obliged to say "now another" for the
people have mind to work promptly,
and as general thing in "shOrt metre"
1t has never been my experience to
work with more united people. They
have just cleared three hundred dol
lars by feeding the masses ut the cOun-
ty fair, which nearly finished their
debt ON the church property, and we
hope to finish it all up before confer
ence.
