the Leading Citizens of the Town of
New Boston.

a colored man named Abe Brooks was
arrested in New Boston on the charge of
assault to rape, and while being brought
here to jail was shot through the car
window and instantly killed. 1t viii be
remembered that the Brooks family,
the former owners of the de-

the killing and instituted criminal
prosecution against the alleged assassin.

lowed was published, together with the

defamatory and slanderOus arti-
Gle which appeared in the New

to the effect that the plaintiff and others
of her family named in her
petition, had made certain muir
derous and incendiary threats against
the lives and property of the cIti-
zens of said town of New Boston. The
plaintiff in her petition embraces the full
text of the resolution adopted by the in
dignation meeting as published, wherein
Mrs. r. E. Brooks, Irene
Brooks and Gus Brooks are
allowed fifteen days in which to
settle their business and leave that
community. The plaintiff lays her
damage at SIS 900 actual, and S1O,-
600, emplary to be So 900. She has
employed able attorneys to represent
her, and this will be one of the most
important cases that will be called in

HAMILTON ON THE STAND.
He Charges Mrs. Swinton and Her Son with
Larceny in the Second Degree.


Larceny in the Second Degree.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Mrs. Swinton
and her son, Joshua Mann, were taken
to the Tombs police court this after
noon. Robert Ray Hamilton, Inspector
Byrnes and Assistant District Attorney
Jerome were in court waiting for them.
AS soon as Justice Hogan took his seat
on the bench Mr.. Hamilton went to the
bar and affirmed to the complaints
against the defendants Mr. Ross,
counsel for defendants, said that his
clients pleaded not guilty and demanded
an examination. Mr.. Hamilton then
took the witness stand. He looked pale
and haggard and gave his testimony in
an almost inaudible voice. The charge
he made was a surprise. 1t was larceny
in the second degree. He admitted
knowing Mrs Hamilton since June,
1888, and states that they had lived to-
gether as man and wife a great part of
that time.
The testimony was long drawn out
It revealed that Robert Ray Hamilton
lived with Eva L. Mann three or four
years previous to their marriage; that he
he frequently gave her money for her
support for no other reason than to
compensate her for relations which ex-
listed between them. He never admitted
that the child which now bears his name
was not MS own, but he did suspect
Mrs. Swinton and Joshua Mann were
conspiring some time IN last June TO OBJ
tain some Of his money. One day in
June, when Mrs. Swinton called at Ham
nton 3 office and asked him for $50 with
which to pay her house rent, he said:
81 am under no obligations whatever
to you, and you have no right to ask any
thing of me- l viii not submit to black
mail Leave my ofice.' The testi-
mony Of Mr. Hamilton in detail showed
the sums of money he had given her and
his already welI-known business connec-
tions.
Inspector BYrnes was then called. BE

| babies and related wha Joshua told him
about his trip TO Elmira with Eva when
they lived together as man and wife.

The Bishops False Teeth.

Many a good story has been told
about the CONSERVATION and dismay
produced by the sound of the Scotch
bagpipes on uninitiated ears. They
are said to have put to flight foes for
whom a bayonet charge would have
had no terrors. But the story told by
Bishop Taylor about the effect which
his movable teeth produced among the
blacks in Africa seems to cast all the
other yarns of this kind into the shade
Somehow his black brethren came to
know that the good Bishop had false
teeth, and one of them gently and
TREMENDOUSLY broke the subject to him
in conversation one day. Not wishing
to be suspected of witchcraft, the
Bishop told the children of the sunny
South that in big America where he
came from, when a man lost leg, he
could go and get a new one made
When his hair fell off he could buy a
fresh supply, and so with teeth, when
they dropped out or were pulled they
could be replaced. "Then," said the
Bishop, - drew out my beautiful,
white, clean porcelain set, and when
they saw that you ought to have seen
those darkies run and scream and
gesticulate. One woman declared she
had seen the wonder of the world, and
was now content to die in peace. Buff

Illustrated by a striking modern instance.

person, now unknown by name, posted
in Paris number of The Gazette Univer-

Morges, Switzerland, but tho newspa-
per did not arrive at its destination until
last month. 1t seems that The Gazette,
which had been waiting for delivery ever
since january, 1891, had got mixed up
with bundle of other newspapers, and
was found, with its cover and address
still intact. amidst heap of rubbish in

Various Personal Peculiaritiee.

Men betray their real characters in a
thousand different ways. The professors
of the art of delineating dispositions do
80 in various fashions. One artist will
undertake to describe character from the
examination of a photographs; another
reads indications of tastes and feelings in
handwriting; nay, an American savant
has recently announced that much may
be learned regarding man by observing
how he wears his boots. Every one has
some small peculiarities which to the &C
curate observer may furnish a clew to
his disposition. There have been mani
fold instances of strange and incon-
venient resemblance between men lead
ing to cases of mistaken identity" and
yet probably in every instance there was
some trifing and overlooked personal
trait which distinguished one from the
other. If alike in features they differed
in dispositions. London Standard.

ORIGIN of "OId Hickory"

The story of how Gen. Andrew Jack
son got the name of Old Hickory is again
going the rounds. and will be new to
some young readers. During the Creek
war he had bad cold, and his soldiers
made for him shelter of hickory bark.
The next morning a tipsy soldier, not
knowing who was under the bark, kicked
it over. AS the general, speechless with
rage, struggled out of the ruins, the SOL
der yelled, Hello, Old Hickoryl Come
out of your bark and take a drinkr'
When the soldiers saw Jackson shaking
the bark from his uniform they gave
three cheers for "Old Hickory" and the
name stuck.-New York Sun.

Fifh-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other depraved
