Cruel Treatment to a Horse,

Last Saturday evening Walter Beaston
OF Mt. Pleasant, went to Middletown to
attend an entertainment. II hitched his
horse to post on Main street at first,
but on examination sometime afterward
he discovered that his traces had been
unfastened and also his lines looSened
from the bit Mr.. Beaston concluded to
change the location, and led his team up
Broad street. 1t had not been there lung.
however, when another team in a runa
way flight ran against and demolished
his carriage, Mr.. b ,aston secured au-
other buggy from Mr.. Armstrong and
conveyed his lady 10 her home when he
again returned to town to take a friend
out home with him. The team WAS not
lett alone a great W hiie, but il seems that
short as it was it was Sutfi ;ient for some
Sc)undrel to carry out ca ! act, for
when Mr.. BeastDn arrived at his home
and began to ungear his tAvorite animal
he found that the traces were undone
and the horses tail made last to the
cross bar, and in this mauuer the car.
riage with two occupants had been haul
ed five miles over Il heavy road. OF
course the horse Suffered great torture
and showed a kindly disposition in thus
obeying her master ; cnmnlan'' She is
severely injured an; it is feared nat she
is ruined entirely, becIuSe the leaders of
her back are drawn from their pIac, and
broken. Il was very daik, Lencc he
driver did not discover the fac until he
had reached home.

Mr.. BRISTOR ON TRIAL.
His Accuser Breaks Down Under His
Searching Cross Examination.

His Accuser Breaks Down Under His
Searching Cross Examination.
The trial OF Rev. George r. Bristor
for improper relations with Ida Downes
was commenced at Jersey City on tie
18th inst. Ida Downes was called to the
stand by Prosecutor sFitzgerald. She
tod her story as previously printed, and
answered the questions of Dr.. Fitzger-
aid and DIR. Craig promptly and intelli-
gently. DR.. Bristor conducted the cross
e> animation himself. She became nerv-
Gus and confused, and when he asked
her why she had not spoken of the as
sault sooner she did not reply. DR.. Bris-
tor insisted that his question be ar
swered, when she broke into tears. Tie
Presiding Elder then interfered an d said
that DR.. Bristor was Fostering her. He
then excused her from answering the
question. DR.. Bristor, in continuing the
examination, questioned her about her
former life, when she became hysterica'.
When cross-examined about her two re-
fractions, she pointed her finger at DR..
Bristor and said: Il wrote the first to
writing the other.' Ida was on the
stand for nearly three hours, and under
went a terrific crOsS-iire of questions.
When she left the stand she was suffer-
ing with nervous proStration. Mrs
Scott, member of the Spring Valley
Church, testified that she was at Bris-
tors house when Ida made her retrac-
ton, which was voluntary and without
duress. Mrs. Rupell, the nurse in the
employ Of Mrs. Bristor, testified that
she was domestic in the Bristor family
at the time of the aledged assault on
Ida Downes. She thought the assault
could not have occurred without her
knowing it. On Wednesday two other
witnesses were examined, both for the
defendant. Mrs. Sweden testified that
Ida Downes had told her that the story
of the assault was lie; that she made
the charge in a fit Of nervousness: that
it was impossible for Dr. Bristor to have
made the assault as she described, as
she always kept her bedroom door
locked; once she dreamed that DR.. Bris-
tor was in her room, and it was because
of the dream that she told the lie Jack
son Rose, a trustee of the Spring Valley
Church, testified that he was present
when Ida first accused DR.. Bristor before
Justice Thomas \. GemmeI. She then
stated the first assault was made about a
week after she went to live with Bristor:
that it took place in her bedroom; the
second assault was in the parlor, the
third in the kitchen and the fourth in
the bedroom. | was N the Notary Pub
lies office when Ida made her retraction.
At first | was inclined to believe her
story. but after investigating it, was sat
lstied that it was false. At the afternoon
session Schuyler Westervelt, another
trustee of the church, testified: Il went
to Mr.. Bristor's at the request of the
Notary Public to take Ida Downes' re-
traction. | was informed she had ex-
pressed herself as desirous to contradict
her statement duplicating DR.. Bristor. I
am satisfied that the retraction was made
voluntarily and without duress. | think
Mr. Bristor is innocent Mr.. Bristor's
friends were excluded from court. The
inq uiry was adjourned till Thursday.

Catholic Missions,

y Mission under the charge of two
Priests of the Order of PassioniSts will
open in the Catholic church. of this town,
on Sunday, 24th instant, and continue at
least one week. Services will be held
daily, morning and evening, and full op-
portuni:y gwen to all to reap the benefits
which We are assured follow from
faithful observance of the Mission. Per-
sons unacquainted with the methods of
the Catholic church do not understand
the meaning Of the extra services. The
occasions is one of general confession and
renewal of vows and rekndling of
spiritual favor and devotion. About five
years ago Mission was given in the
church here by members of the same
Order to which belong the Father who
will conduct the one now announced.
This Order was founded by st. Paul of
the Cross and to preachers, following his
example, St. Paul eudeavors to convert
sinners by bringing their minds in an
iisshiiSi eiiO p'Rssi III anu uCdlu vi
the Saviour, appealing to their hearts
direct and in the most touching manner,
laying before them His great sacrifices
that he might win their hearts. Father
Bonaventure who will take the lead in
the mission, is jealous and eloquent
preacher, bringing with him the highest
possible recommendations of great sue
cess elsewhere. Those who hear his
preaching, even though they may not
agree with him in Creed, Will not fail to
recognize him as a true servant of God,
having but one ambition, and that to
advance the kingdom of his Master. His
assistant is none the less devoted to the
grand work he has undertaken, and with
two such eloquent and devoted Priests
laboring in their midst, the Catholics of
Elkton, have evey reason to anticipate
an unprecedented revival of religion.
Members of ali religious demonstrations
will be cordially welcomed at these extra
services. Next week we will give as
many as possible the regenerations for
the Missions

AssaupuEl creek while Washington and
his army silently left Trenton at night
and marched to Princeton about the New
Years Of HI The Other day | saw the
sword this patriot carried at his side
when our torelathers were fighting for
Independence. It is a very plain instru,
ment, well rusted and its sheath is of
rough leather, showing that it was made
for business and not for dress or parade
occasions. When the oxford Foresters'
Rifle Compny, commanded by John
Holmes, was encamped at Elkton i'll 1912
to aid if necessary in re pelling the Brit
tisb, Captain Mcdowell visited them.
One cold, frosty Sunday morning he got
into his saddle and with his old sword Of
(which George Crislield, a colored
slave, had ground the previous day-be-
death his great coat, he rode off and gal
loped through New London cross roads
and on to Elkton. Arriving at Elkton a
crowd soon gathered around him and as
he was well known there loud hurrah
went up for Captain Mcdowell. Some
one soon espied the end of the old sword
from its hiding place and in
quired of its white haired owner what he
intended doing with it. "Why, boys"
he replied, :'Iye fought in the Revolu-
tion and am ready to fight again if neces-
sary." Once more loud cheer rang out
upon the air and the old hero of Trenton
was the hero of that Sunday at Elkton,
1872 Three years later the supreme foe
of all mankind, death, laid low the ven-
cradle man and he now rests in the old
at New London.

To the Public.

The very severe spell of wether through
which We have just passed. has caused a
great amount of suffering and want,
among those who have not the means to
provide food clothing and fuel in this
their hour of great need. Therefore the
ladies of the several churches OF Elkton
propose for the purpose of raising funds
to help those in need to give pink tea
party and supper on the evenings of the
of the Goth and 2lst, inst, and hope that
all who are charitably disposed, will aid
their efforts By contributing such things,
needed to get up good supper, and
which it is hoped, every one who possibly
can, will encourage by their presence
and patronage.

all manner of sewing is done perfectly, with
