A SERIOUS CHARGE.
"A Case of Unusual Brutality Comes to
Light in Barre.


BARRE, Dec. 4.-G. T. Cady, a carriage
maker on Bridge street, aged about 60, was
arrested last night on the charge OF being
crlmnaliy intimate with several young
girls. There is great indignation among
the people here, and a hearing has been
going on all day with closed doors before
Justice o. b. Boyce at the office of Barney
Hour, they appearing for State, and
Martin d Carleton for respondent
1t appears from statements of the officers
that Cady has enticed some 10 or II girls
between the ages of 8 and 10 years at vari.
Gus times during the past two years into his
shop, barn or elsewhere, and ACCOMPLISHED
improper or criminal purposes, and kept the
matter secret by threatening the girls: that
the matter leaked out through a married
woman who overheard two OF tho girls talk
ing together; that Cady got an inkling that
the affair was being looked into, borrowed
money and was preparing to leave the State
when he was arrested last night; that very
strong evidence is being presented at the
hearing now going on, one boy claiming he
was hidden observer OF one occurrence in
the barn; that he has wife and three mar
ried children; that his son is now "bound
up" TO County Court for wrongfully taking
wood and lumber.

MUST REMAIN THE EARL'S WIFE,
Verdict for tho Defendant in tho Russ ell
Divorce Case.

LONDON, Dec. 4-The evidence in the
Russell divorce suit was concluded this af-
ternoon. Sir Charles Russell began to sum
up the case for defence. He said the case
should never have been brought to court,
supported as it was by many cases Of gross
ly untrue evidence.
Sir Edward Clarke's address was charac-
terized by the great emphasis he laid upon
tho telling points in the evidence for the pc
ttioner. He declared, however, the evil
dence submitted would have no effect upon
the reputation OF Prof. Roberts The OBJ ect
OF the Countess Russell ia bringing the ac-
ton was not to obtain money. Her chief
reason was that she wished to relieve her
self of the obligation Of living with a man
whose treatment had led to their separa-
ton.
The case was then given to the jury, who
returned verdict in favor of Earl Russell.
When this result was announced the earl's
friends in the court room cheered heartily.
