Maggie Moriarty Tells Alderman Doughty
About How Her Father Beat Her-She
Produces Evidence Of Brutality Inflicted.
A case of parental cruelty came before
Alderman Doughty on Wednesday evening.
Maggie Moriarty, 16 years of age, came to
his Office about $40 P. n. The Squire left
earlier than usual. The girl went to Mrs.
G. o. Newall's, where she resides as a
domestic, and waited until IL o'clock, when
she went to the Alderman's residence, No.
4O2 Taylor street, Bloomfield, and aroused
him from his slumbers,
The Alderman narrated the balance of
the story as follows: 81 saw girl vigor-
ously knocking. at my door and asked who
was there. She was crying bitterly and
said her name was Maggie Moriarty I
went down and let her in. She then recited
the following pitiful tale:
"'I have for the last three years earned
nv own living. During this time and pre-
yious to my leaving home my father has
frequently .thrashed me; indeed his treat
ment has been such as to almost drive me
into the ranks of the abandoned.
"fWhile was out walking with two lady
friends and two gentlemen in the vicinity of
the Indian show my father noticed me. He
ran and took hold of my arm, dragging me
away from my friends and beat me with
great severity with a strong cane. cried
for mercy. He still hit me until I almost
tainted. 1 never gave him the least provo
cation that warranted this merciless treat
ment. If you will only look at my back
you will see for yourself the marks of the
cruel blows. .
81 said 1 would call my wife and then we
would inspect her back. When my wife
came down stairs the girl removed her
basque. was Mortified to see great welts
almost as thick as ones finger across her
shoulder-blades and down the middle of her
back. I Immediately y wrote out an informa-
tion for the mans arrest"
The hearing will take place next Satur-
day between the hours of and 10 o'clock.
Michael Dean, the anti-cruelty agent,
yesterday brought suit against Thomas
Moriarty, before Alderman Doughty, for
beating his two children, both girls aged II
and 10, with a club. Both children were
badly bruised about the back and arms, and
were in a pitiable condition. The hearing

TO SUNSET COX'S FUNERAL.
Major Mckinley Will Attend as n Repre-.
sentative From Congress.


sentative From Congress.
Major William Mckinley passed through
the city last evening on his way from his
home in Canton to New York, where he will
to-day attend the funeral of Samuel S. Cox
The Major is member of the House Com
mittee appointed by Speaker Carlisle to
attend the funeral services. The distin-
guished Republican spoke with evident
affection of his dead colleague. Congress
had lost, he said, one of its most brilliant
members, and all persons vino had been for
any length of time in public life, had lost
one of their dearest friends.
Major Mckinley said that he was sorry
to hear of the resignation of Corporal Tan
ner "He is man of strict integrity"
said the Congressman. 81 do not believe
that he could do wrong act. He is not
only honest, but is thoroughly good fel-
low."
OF Major William Warner, who is re-
ported to be Mr.. Tanners successor, Major
Mckinley said: "If be is appointed 20 the
position he will fill it we'll. He is a mag
nifcent man, and was good soldier. He is
capable, upright and the possessor of many
friends"
The Major said that he knew nothing
whatever about the progress of the Speaker
ship contest. He has been rusticating in
Ohio and has not seen any members of the
House tor several weeks. He said that he
did not see how the decision to have no ex-
ira session could affect the Speakership mat
ter in any way. He was asked for his pref
erence for the Worlds Fair in 1885,, and with
a smile he replied that he thought CinciD-
natl would be good location. The Major
is warm advocate of the improvement of
the Ohio river by Government dams, and
said that he would aid the movement in
Congress, as far as lay in his power As to
Ohio politics. he said that the fight was just
beginning. The Democrats are preparing
to make lively contest on the Legislature,
but have little hope and no chance of de-
teating Governor Foraker.

They Are Welding Discipline nt Their
General Conference.
At yesterdays session of the general con-
ference of the Primitive Methodist Churches
in the Holmes street church, Rev. J. II.
Acornley presented the report of the Com
mittee on Church Discipline, which was
appointed in May of last year. The report
is founded on the rules of discipline of the
Eastern Conference of 1888, which the CON-
mittee has revised so as to make the scope
of 'the laws sufficiently wide to
cover the increased membership
and jurisdiction of the conference.
The laws which have been enacted at the
conference meetings held since the publica-
tion of the Eastern discipline rules, have
been added to the report, and after being
passed upon will be published in single
volume. 1t is expected that this subject
will require the consideration of the confer
ence for week.

held in the Butler Street Methodist Church,
at which Rev. T. M. Bateman, of Missis-
sippi, Rev. S. R. Club. Rev. NJ Baker and

on the Electric Lights.
Last evening after the calling of the roll
at Central station, Inspector McAleese in
structed the officers to be careful in the
future and report to their various lieuten-
ants the number and location of electric
lights extinguished on their beats, in the
same manner and as minutely as the gas
lamps were formerly remembered by their
lack of that shining quality which guided
the late and weary pedestrian homeward.
The Inspector says the city has to pay

ICE MEN WILL NOT STRIKE.
Thirteen of the Objectionable Men Went
Into the Union.

Into the Union.
The ice wagon drivers and helpers have
decided not to strike. At the meeting of L.
A. 1882, Knights of Labor, in Seibert's
Hall, last night, this action was taken.
Thirteen Of the men who were not members
of the union, and over whom the trouble
was caused, were initiated into the Assem-
bly,. All the men are employees of the Chau-
tauqua Ice Company, but there are others
on the Southside, who have not yet ex-
pressed desire to join L. A. 1882. If these
men do not come strike may yet result.
Master Workman John O'Shea stated last
night that the men were members of the
order, but in other assemblies. They must
90 into L. A. 1882, or strike will be in
augurated against them.
A committee from the horseshoers' union
was present, and stated that their strike was
not yet settled. All of the master shoers
had not signed the scale, and those who had
not done so were turning their work over to
the employers who had. A committee of
L. A. 1882 was appointed to work in con-
junction with them, and extend all the as
sistance they could toward a satisfactory
settlement OF the strike.
