rested yesterday evening charged with
having committed horrible crime on the
little s year old daughter of Charles Crit
fin, who lives about three miles northwest

grow worse, a doctor was called in
and upon examination reported that she
had been harshly dealt with by some one
Up TO this time the child had been very
reticent about her condition but upon be-
ing closely questioned by her father, told
the story of her wrong. a negro by the
name of William Williams, who was work
ing for her father, had criminally assault
ed her aud threatened if she ever told any

once taken charge of by neighbors and
brought to kosse where he was turned
over to a justice, who, thinking
it unsafe to keep him dur

him to jail at Groesbeck. When about
four miles out the guards were attacked
by about 125 men and the negro taken
from them and hanged and his body rid

roadside. An inquest was held and the
jury returned verdict that he came to
his death by hanging and gunshot wounds
at the hands of parties unknown TO them.

ROBBER WELLS CONFESSION.

It Was He Who Took sa1,ooo at the Point of 8 Pistol.
 ST. LOUIS, May 26-Mansfield King, the man who was arrested in Clayton, has been identified as Wells, who compelled Presi- dent Moffat, of the First National bank, of Denver, to hand over $21 ,OO0 on March 25, 1889, at the point of revolver. H. N. Otis, the assistant cashier of the bank, who came here for the purpose and in company with several of Thiel's detective agency men, has identified him as the robber.
 When King was arrested he wore full beard and very long hair, but when he com mitted the robbery he had only small mustache and about three days growth of beard When Cashier Ottis first entered the cell where King was lying he could not determine whether or not it was Wells. Last evening Otis returned to Clayton with the detectives, accompanied by bar Der, who cut the prisoners hair, after which Ottis identified him without any hesitation, and King admitted that he was the man. After the identification Ottis and the detectives had another interview with King as to what had become of the money he had taken. King said he had planted it in certain place in Rails county.
 The robbery was most remarkable one. Wells entered the bank the day before and told Mr. Moffatt that there was scheme on foot to rob the bank which he was will ing to give away for consideration. MT. Moffatt talked with him, but told him to come back in a day or two The next day he went into MT. Moffatt's office, and, drawing revolver, said to him: "Mr. Moffatt, I am desperate man. must have money. Write check for $21 900 and take it over to the teller and come back here" MT. Moffatt obeyed, and the robber coolly walked out of the bank.

Excursion to Bridgeport,

Twenty-seven tickets were sold at this station for w. B. Hall & Co.'S ex- cursion to Bridgeport last Thursday. Sixtytwo tickets were sold at Falls Village, and large number at other stations between Ct Burlington and Bridgeport in fact it was the largest excursion w. B. Hall & Go have yet run over the Housatonic road. There were not cars enough to accommodate the passengers and many could not get seat either going or returning.
 The merchants along the line of the Housatsnic road don't blame w. B. Hall & Co for running excursions but they do blame the Housatonic railroad for permitting such excursions to be run. The merchants in the Housatonic valley help support the road by their freight and passenger business, whereas w. B. Hall & Go have no occasion to travel over the Housatonic line or send any freight by it. After the merchants in the Housatonic valley have paid their fare to New York and return and also paid the frieght on the merchandise they purchase there, the railroad company permit excursions to be run to Bridgeport at $1 for the round trip, thus taking customers away from the very goods on which the railroad company has received pay for transpor- tation- Its rough on the merchants in

the Housatonic valley and they have good reason to complain and say that the Housatonic road does not protect it's freighters, many of whom have virtually supported and sustained the Housatonic road ever since it was built.
 Then again the excursionists them selves claim they are not fairly treated and that the railroad company have no moral or legal right to sell person, especially lady, an excursion ticket to Bridgeport and then compel passengers to stand up like cattle in the cars just because sufficient cars are not run to give each passenger seat.
 If the Housatonic road will persist in running excursions they should at least provide sufficient cars for their passen- gers, otherwise the majority will say "the next time we go on an excursion to Bridgeport we will stay at home and patronize our home merchants"
