A SUSPICIOUS CASE.

Last Monday Edward Clough, who has
recently removed to Williamsyille from this
village, living in house near the cemetery
about one mile from the village of VIII
Evansville. was arraigned before Justice S.
II. Sherman. charged with the crime Of rape
on the person of his nine-year-old step
daughter, and upon examination was put
under $1,000 bail and committed to the
Newfane Jail. The facts in the case are
unusual ones. Cloughs wife has three
children by a former husband, the girl in
question being the eldest. Last Saturday
night Mrs. Clough came to Brattleboro
with Clark Darby, leaving the three chill
dren at home with Clough. On their re-
turn, according to the story told by the
family, the daughter was suffering from
an alleged fall, received during the mothers
absence, and her condition was such that
DR. White of Wlliamsvlle was called soon
after midnight. ON a second visit the next
morning an examination convinced him
that the child had been assaulted The
news spread among the neighbors and the
circumstances were so suspicious that
States Attorney Hit wa, summoned by
telephone. ON Monday. under an order
secured from Judge J. NJ. Tyler, Mr.. Hit
caused an expert examination of the child
to be made by a council of doctors, con
ssting of Conland and Webster of Brat
tleboro AMI White of Williamsville. These
doctors reported that they found exactly
the same conditions existing as if the child
had been assaulted. which, of course. was
all that could be said by them.
The story told by Clough was that in the
absence of his wife in the evening he start
ed to 20 to the village, but changed his
mind. went back. and found the child lying
under window unconscious, and that
when she regained consciousness she said
she had been chasing the cats when she fell
down stairs and was hurt. When the little
girl was put on the witness stand she her
self told this story in detail. saying that al
ter she was hurt She lay down under the
window and went To sleep. In these
statements she was not shaken on cross
examination. The doctors the officers,
and the Williamsvile residents. however,
all regard the case as a very suspicious one,
in spite of the childs story, and ii has
caused much excitement in Williamsylle.
Mr. Hit directed the town authorities of
Newfane to remove the child from the in
tiuence of her mother until after the hear
ing of the case before the grand jury.

TERRIBLE HEAT ININDIA.

Ina note dated Aug, 1, received yesterday
from Rev. Herbert NJ. Andrews who went
to India last September, referring to the in
tense heat which residents there have been
experiencing, he says: at is so hot and
lifeless one can neither sit still nor move
with comfort. People say out here it is so
hot they would like to take off their fish
and sit in their bones. Everyone tells us
this has bsen an exceptionally hot season.
The rains usually come by the middle of
June, but this year they did not reach us
until July 22d. 1t seems as though we had
borne the heat just as long as we could, but
it went on hotter and hotter, week after
week. There was great fear of a famine
throughout India, and it had actually be-
gun its deadly work in South India, and
people were digging grass seed out of the
ant hills to satisfy their hunger. Now the
rains have made all vegetation luxuriant
and the country is everywhere green"

On one occasion a Kalamazoo man was
heard to emphatically declare that the ball
hit Hit. 1t sounded strangely.
The receipts were nearly 500.
Fred Kuech proved himself quite a
Splinter. He disappointed the boys, how
ever, by not sliding to bases in his padded
breecheS.
One Of the brilliants was when the ball
was thrown to third base and passed be-
tween the legs of five of the Kalamazoo
men, allowing a Waterloo to sore.
Bracket was the chief slugger, his record
being single, double, triple and home run.
One of the most realistic" parts of the
game was Mr.. Marshalrs imitation of
Bowers work in the box, especially when
he called the catcher aside for consultation
after two strikes.

tween Barre and Montpelier. Six prizes of over

Vermont wheelmen.-From the e. c. Of last week
Evidently the new alumni officers are in
fusing a good deal of life into the associa-
ton. Heretofore the reunions have been
held in BrattlebOro, and it is a decidedly
new departure to go as far away as Mont
pelier and Barre. The prizes are ample,
and ought to bring out the prominent fy-
ers, especially as the races are not limited
to the alumni. The observation train
is sure to be a taking feature.

The Brattleboros presented a mixed-up
team, while the NOrthamptons had their best

substance that the Brattleboros did not
have fair deal on the umpiring. Bowers
was an enigma to all but Slater and Farrell.
The best batting was done by Fitzmaurice.

The expenditures thus exceed the re-
ceipts by S25S.06. Part of the deficit was
supplied by subscription; the rest was also
paid so that no player left town with any
money due him. My management of the
team ceased Saturday, August - For
the last week the team played on shares.

HANDS ACROSS THE SEA 4"

Glands across the sea- a spectacular
melOdrama in five acts by the well known
English playwright, Henry Pettitt, will be
presented for the first time in Brattleboro
on Friday night, Sept II, at the town hall.
There is something strongly attractive in
Hands across the sea, and it is not diff
cult to discover the cause. Its freedom
from any suggestion of vulgaritv or the
slums, characteristic of so many plays of
its class; the absence of blood and thun-
der" Tenderness; the natural and direct
manner in which it is told, and other char
acteristics, appeal directly to the audience.
The language is crisp and pointed and
abounds in forcible passages that are made
the most of by the excellent company. A
tangible vein of comedy runs through the
entire piece and keeps the audience in good
humor. The play is to us highly endorsed,
having enjoyed prosperous run of over
300 nights at the Princess Theatre. Lon
don, $50 nights at the Boston Museum.
Boston, and equally successful runs i'm New
York and Philadelphia. The cast includes
such well known favorites as Miss Cora
Edsall, Bessie Ostermonn. Isabel Person
Mr.. William Humphrey, Henry Pierson,
Jno. Furlong, William Richardson and 9th
ers. The company is now filling three
weeks engagement in Chicago. Those who
witness the production here may feel as
sured OF satisfactory performance.

For the Hearing Of the Charges Of
Heresy Against DR.. Briggs
BEFORE NEW YORK PRESBYTERY.
On November 4, the Scotch Church in Nsw York
York City Will be the Scene Of the Most
Famous Trial in the History Of the
PrssbIsran Chureh-A Commit
tee for ths Revision Of the
Faith Appointed.

New YORK, October 5.-The New
York Presbytery, in the case OF >Dr.
Briggs, resumed its work at IL o'clock
this morning. Rev. A. Schiland, OF the
committee appointed to answer DR..
Briggs protest of May II, arose to re-
port. DR.. Briggs asked that his protest
be read, because many had never heard
it. The protest was read by the secre-
tary. DR.. Briggs protested because he
was not given sufficient time 10 answer
the charges and that advantage was
taken of mis- absence In Europe.
Mr. SchIlland then read IN answer,
that no charges had been presented
when the protest was made and no
thought OF protest was maintained.
1t was a committee TO consider the
reference to the confession OF faith
which is the subject of general criticism
and widespread dissent. This commit
tee had TO deal with the contents OF the
address publicly and officially made.
DR.. Briggs certainly gave assent to the
correctness os The address as published,
although he protested that lit would
seem that your committee were ap-
pointed to consider my iuaugual address
and not to consider any explanation Of
it, l might desire TO make"
DR.. Birch announced that he was
about to serve DR.. Briggs with copy
of the Indictment and the trial had been
set November 4, in the Scotch church.
1t will probably not be public, though
the manner Of conducting the trial Is
not decided. A committee on the re-
vision of the confession of faith was ap-
pointed, to report at the November
meeting: Ministers - Vandyke, Spin
ming, Marling, Kerr, Rossiter, Forbes
and Chaplin; EIders-1a G. Strong, M.

The circumstances is indeed inscruta-
