Horrible Cruelty Practiced by a
Bay state Brute Upon an Igno-
rant Polander.
HoLYoKE, Mass, Nov. 21.-Charles
T. Parsons, of Northampton, notorious
for hiring ignorant immigrants at Castle
Garden and leasing their services to
farmers in this section, was arrested
here to-day for having a Polander,
dressed only in overalls, shoes and a
buggy and suffering intensely from the
cold, which literally froze the tears on
his purple cheeks. The people here are
greatly excited over the matter, and
Parsons arrest is all that saved him
from being mobbed. He will be tried
tomorrow for assault, false impriSon-
ment and cruelty.
Charles L. Parsons. Of Northampton,
who was arrested this morning in Hol-
yoke for having Polander chained to
his wagon seats, was released on 5000 bail
and will appear in court tomorrow.
He stated in an interview that the Pole
was secured by him at Castle Garden
last MAY. For the first few months the
Pole worked we'll, but later began to
act queerly anr show signs OF in
sanity. Finally escaping, he was
brought back to Northampton. Parsons
says he tried to get the fellow to work
for him, but soon concluded from his
queer actions that the man was insane
and decided to send him back to New
York where his cOuntrymen could take
care of him. He chained him, Parsons
said, to prevent him from getting away.
Tonight some Holyoke Poles inter-
viewed the victim of the affair and
learned his story. He is twenty years
old, and came to this country
last spring on his own accord. He
says he had to work very hard from
morning until II o'lock at night, while
Sunday he was kept at work in the
barn. He had been promised S12.50 a
month for his services. but never re-
ceived cent. When work failed he
returned to Parsons, but was not we'll
treated. This morning Parsons put
him into the wagon and bound him by
force. On his way to Holyoke he says
Parsons stopped several times and left
him so long that he was nearly frozen
when he reached the city. His only
relatives in this country are two cousins
at PittSburg, Pa.

MINoT, OAK, Nov. 21.--The official
canvass of Ward county gives Minot for
county seat 499; Burlington, the pres

seat to Min0t by about seventy over the
necessary two-thirds. This is the first
election ever held for the removal Of
the county seat from Burlington since
its location by the legislature of 1885.
1t is the opinion of the best lawyers in

present location, and has ruled the
county with an iron hand since its or

supposition is that Judge Rose, when
acquainted with the facts, will throw
the contest out of court as there are no
just grounds upon which to base it.

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Upon resuming

Mr.. Harrington if he had anything TO

but would accept the responsibility
for what appeared in his pa
per. The judges consulted, after
which Judge Hannen said: "Ihe

950J. George Curtin. brother OF Lydia,
VINO testified yesterday, was placed on
the witness stand. He described the
murder OF his father. His story did not
differ from his sisters. When croSs-tX-
amined George Curtin acknowledged
that he had once belonged to the Ma
tional league, and that his father mad
been vice president of a league branch.
HC WlltleSS Sdiu tildl tfltIt was iiO "a
son to believe that the league was i'm
plicated in the crimes committed
against his family. Various branches
of the league had denounced the MUIR
der and expressed sympathy with MS
family. Nora FitZmaurlce then de-
tailed the shooting OF her father. On
cross-eXamination the Witness stated
that her father and uncle had disagreed
regarding the farm occupied by her
father. The people, she said,. sided
with her uncle in the quarrel. The
counsel for the Parnellites then read an
article from the Kerry Sentinel de-
nouncing the murder of Fitzmaurice.
The fact that Edward Harrington was
fined $500 was entirely due to the Kerry
EDITORS stubbornneSS. He not only dld
not write the Oh ensive article, but there
is positive prooi, aside from his own
statement, that he did not know OF It's
existence until it appeared i'll the paper.
Concerning the matter Mir. Harrington
said in the house last evening: ''Whep
| read the article it actually made my
ears tingle." Mr. Harrington will make
no effort to eyade the payment OF the
fine. by appeal or otherwise. and tine
money will probably be raised by sub
scriptions among his friends, many of
whom have already expressed their
willingness to contribute.

An Imitator OF Jack the Ripper
Fooled by a Muscular Female.
Special to the Globe.
LONDON, Nov. 21.-Great excitement
was OccaSiOned this morning when it
was reported that another woman had
been murdered and mutilated in White
chapel. According to the Woman'S
story, the man had seized her and
struck he1 once in the throat with a
knife. She struggled desperately, and
had succeeded in freeing herself from
the mans grasp, and had SCI canned for
help. Her cries had alarmed the man,
and he fled without attempting any
further violence. Investigation shows
that the woman upon whom theSallegsfi
assault was made is OF the very lowest
class of abandoned creatures She has
sustained only slight abrasion
of the throat. The principal
reason given by the police for
their belief that the attempted MUIR
der was not the work Of the real White
chapel fend is the fact tlat the would
be murderer and his intended victim
drank themselves into state Of gross
inebriety, condition that the perpe-
TRAITOR OF the previous crimes was ObvI-
ousIy free from, and then went to an
ordinary lodging house, at the door of
which government inspector is always
in attendance. This circumstance, to-
gether with the fact that the time of at
tempting to kill the woman was as i'll
judged with reference to the escape of
the murderer as the place, induces the
belief that the man is a maudlin imi-
tator of "Jack the Ripper" who will be
exceedingly unlikely to reDeat his per-
formance. Nevertheless, if he is caught
in the vicinity of Spitalfields he Will
certainly be lynched. 1t is significant,
however, that in spite of the assevera-
tions of their conviction that the assault
upon the woman Farmer cannot be con-
nected with the chain of Whitechapel
butcheries, the police are if possible
putting forth greater exertion than ever
to accomplish the arrest OF her aSSailant.
