THE HARRISON FAMILY.

Kent County.

one OF Them Has Just Become n Charge
on Kent County.
About three weeks ago William Har-
rlson, the proprietor OF the Harrison
wagon works, quietly dropped into the
ofice of the county superintendent OF
the poor, and. with studied unobtru-
aveness. inquired if anything could be
done for his needy daughter-in-law.
When told that ms application TO have
her taken care of at Kalamazoo at the
expense of Kent county would receive
due attention If made in the usual way,
ne remarked, with the touching SIM
plicity of self-cvldeut truth. that II
would not look we'll for him TO make
TIE application, out that he would see
what could be done ~ the way OF hav-
ing some other relative do so.
The DAYS and weeks sped on, and last
Saturday Mrs. Jennie Harrison, mother
OF the grand child of William Harrison,
was taken 70 jail for safe keeping.
Yesterday the insane woman had an
examination in the Probate court, and
Was sent 90 the kalamazoo asylum as a
county charge. The elder Harrison is
So shocked hy these proceedings and
the uep.0ralle circumstances out OF
which they arose that he forgot all
about the usual iOrmalitics OF prOvld-
ing for the paitry expense OF the keep
ing OF the unfortunate woman who
made him grandfather. The hUs-
band OF the insane woman may have

THE GLADE ADDITION.
One of the Prettiest building Sites In
the Gfty.

One of the most valuable additions
that has been laid out to the city is
the Glade property.
This is situated just east of Giade
Creek and Immediately on the dun
my line. The fact that it has this inf
running through it makes it exceed
ingly more valuable, as it brings t u.
close proximity to the center OF TN
city. The fare over the line is 9nl,,
five cents, and places it within tn
reach of all who attend church, do
the marketing and everything OF thaj
sort in this part of the city. By nav
ing q home in this addition person
can enjoy all the pleasures Of @ sut :
urban residence and yet get the ben
etits of city conveniences.
The addition is being laid OH b.
wide streets and avenues, and build
ing sites are rapidly being sold. 1t is
well drained and therefore yer
healthy.
A company has been organized to
erect Il water works plant and tn ?

which is only short distance aWay
A system of sewerage is to be inalgu :
rated and the sanitary condition in
proved, though this is hardly neces
sary, as sickness is almost unknown &.
The view from the Glade Add ito |
is one of the finest tosbe obta tine
anywhere in this section. Tall mour
tain peaks, the Roanoke river vale
and extensive forests are all i'll fu !
view and form a picture that is rer
beautiful.
One Of the best things about thi
property is the easy terms on wlic- F..
it can be purchased. Any one ca /

NELSON AGAIN.

Another Afternoon Spent in Answering
His Questions.
The preliminary hearing of w. NJ. Nelson
was resumed yesterday before Police Judge
Joaehimsen. Nelson is accused by Judge
d. j. Murphy, with libel. A certificate from
DR.. Morse was read to the effect that j. ID.
Sullivan, an alleged witness against Judge
Murphy was sick and would be unable to
attend court for three weeks to come.
Nelson said he expected to prove by
Sullivan that certain document was
written by Sullivan, and that Judge Murphy
wrote an answer on the lower part of the
paper, which was introduced in evidence.
Tie document had some bearing on the
Sharon-Hil case.
Judge Murphy admitted his writing. and
presumed that Sullivan had written the
remainder. 1t was written upon q scrap OF
manila paper, which had served as cover
OF book, IN lead pencil, and consisted Of
question and answer written hurriedly years
ago in court and was subsequently picked
up from where it lay by Nelson.
Judge Murphy took the witness-stand
and testified that he never tried to secure
witnesses in the Sharon case, nor did he
ever accept money to get witnesses for
Sharon.
The case was continued till this after
noon, when Colonel &. F. Crocker, who was
IN court yesterday on subpoena issued by
Nelson, will be present as witness.

A Young swindIer Victimizes Several
Prominent Firms.
Louis Pfffsbury, young man of respecta-
bic app earance and good address though an
ex-convict, was charged at the City Prison
yesterday with six cases of petty larceny.
Pillsbury lives at IS Everett street, and had
been doing an extensive and lucrative bust
ness in his own peculiar way. He had a
subscription list with names of several
prominent persons who, he said. had sub
scribed to the fund lie was collecting for an
aged widow, a Mrs. Cleveland, living at 100
Capp street. The name and address were
fictitious, as were the names of certain al
legged subscribers.
When Pillsbury wanted money he would
make trip through some Wholesale houses,
and after an hour OF so return to his old
place around the pool-rooms with gold to
back horses. By this means he got money
from several merchants. The book shows
that Levi Strauss & Co. gave him $50, Adam
Grant $40, DonOhue. Kelly & Co. SO, l.. L.
Baker $40, Moses Hopkins $40, and that
Albert Gallatn and Louis Taussic s. Co.
also gave him money
