CHARGED WITH CRUELTY.
A Mexican Woman Alleged to Hav.
Bruised n Boy.

Bruised a Boy.
Humane Officer Wright was notified, a
few days ago, Of a shocking case of
cruelty to q child, which was being per-
petrated by Mexican woman named
Mrs. Maria Robes, who lives at No. 127
Banning street. Upon investigating the
statement made to him, the officer dis
covered that instead of being exagger-
ated, as he supposed at first, the matter
was worse than had been represented.
1t appears that Harry Lopez, an orphan
IL years of age, had been adopted by the
woman, but of late she is said to have
developed severe aud cruel course Of
action wholly unjustifiable. By some
strategem or other the officer obtained
access to the boy and carried him off to
the Orphans Home, where he was found
to be badly bruised about the head, back
body and limbs, all of which marks, he
explained, were caused by blows raiHed
upon him without provocation by his
| foster.mother. On Wednesday afternoon
he WAS taken before Police Judge STAN
ton, and after swearing to complaint
charging Mrs. Robes with cruelty, a
| warrant was issued for her arrest and
placed in the hands of Humane Officer
| Wright for service. She would undoubt-
eddy have been brought into court yester-
day had not the officer mislaid the docu-
ment, which, however, was returned to
him last night.

in danger of being consumed. Most of

lished the following:
Matte Vickers is, in truth, the hand
soonest and most popular soubrette on
the stage. Last night crowded house
welcomed her back to Cincinnati with
more than customary enthusiasm.
Miss Vickers has remarkable powers OF
fascination combined with an oddity OF
department and manner which make her
performance unique. She is pretty and
engaging in the comedy scenes, and she
can command pathos as we'll as excite
mirth. She is clever in her acting, agile
in her movements and spontaneous in
humor. Miss Vickers is endowed with
plenty of genuine talent as we'll as many

singing or dancing, or love-making, you
will find yourself carried away by the
spirit and go of her acting.

THE SCHOOL CENSUS.
What IL Shows when Compared
with other Years.

The school census, the totals of which
were published in the HERALD few days
since, reveals some very interesting facts
when compared with the figures Of
former years. When the census was
taken year ago, there was decrease
noted in the number of babies under the
age of one year. In 1887 it was reported
that there were 27l boy babies and 264
girl babies, while in 1888 there were bu,
l76 boy babies and 1872 girl babies. The
census just completed shows 465 boy
babies and 500 girl babies, an increase Of
627. There has been an increase also in
the number of children attending school
and decrease in the number not attend
ing. A comparison for three years is as

Total children

These figures show an increase of 1903
children in this city. 1t is the opinion of
those who have examined the census of
the city that it has been more carfully
taken than it was year ago, and that
comparatively few children have been
missed. The census for the entire
county has not been completed yet, but
it will probably show considerable in
crease over last year if the indications
hold good throughout.

There are no hard times, evidently, in
the postoffice business, the report for the

every line over the amount of work done
in the same month year ago. The
authorities say that, during the last
year, they have handled more matter
than at any time in the history of the
city. The following table will indicate
the truth of these statements, and, to-

that the city has refrigerated in any way

fight There was an open knife
found on the stairway which the
defense cared nothing about as a
knife more OK less in the affair
amounted to nothing. The prosecu-
ton brought ont the fact without any
special result.
The case hinged entirely upon the
Defendants testimony, first and last,
which was accepted as candid and
true by the committing magistrate,
Mr.. E. w. Joor and by District
Attorney McLain upon the trial, and
perhaps to great extent by Col. ]
H. Jones who was employed to
prosecute the Defendant in this case.
Here and elsewhere so far as we
know, and we believe we do know,
Lewis testimony is believed to be
true so far as he knows.
At 9 O'Clock Thursday morning
the jury brought in verdict OF not
guilty and The accused was dis
charged. Capt. Bramlett, Judge
Parish and Judge Van Eaton were
for the defense and made able and
eloquent speeches. District Attor-
ney McLain delivered the opening
speech, Col Jones closing. Col.
Jones made an able and elaborate
speech to which Defendant had and
has but one objection-his, Jones'
inference, from close personal
knowledge of Defendant, as he said,
that he, Defendant would not have.
shot when he did If he had not had
a cocktail or been drinking. If this
is Col. Jones' real opinion, he is
poor judge of his personal acquaint-
ance, and besides his conclusion was
unfair and illogical, for if Lewis had
been unduly excited by liquor he
certainly never would have allowed
johnson to come down the steps and
walk away had he wished to do so.
Lewis would have fired while john
son was coming down the steps as
be had every reason and right to do.
We believe that Col. Jones was
carried away by the heat of his
argument, in the above statement,
not that he attempted an unfair
advantage, and we think that his
deliberate judgement from the facts
would be otherwise.
