Boston, Jan. 23.-The Boston Herald
prints four-column article charging
immoralities and abuse against the
elders at the Alfred Me- Shaker settle
ment The principal informant was
Esther Browner, of Brighton, Mass,
who recently escaped from the settle
ment after FIVE weeks stay.
-four othe" girls have escaped and re-
port improper proposals made them, and
that for attempting to escape, and other
offenses, they were subjected TO brutal
whipping and solitary confinement for
almost two weeks, with only bread and
water to eat, and their clothes almost
entirely removed to allow wounds on
their backs to heal.
The Herald says that many Alfred
men and women admit the truth of
what the five girls have said. Doctors
have remarked Of Illegal operations,
boys have spoken of wrong practices
girls have told of indignities and illegit-
innate children now living not ten miles
from the settlement.

THE LABOR PICNIC.

Meeting of the Committee Yesterday-All
the Indications Favorable for . Big
Time.
The General Committee of the Trades
Assembly having in charge the big
Labor Day parade and picnic met yes
terday afternoon, and transacted
large amount OF business connected
with the event. All the reports are of
the most favorable nature, and there is
every indication that the efforts Of all
previous years will be surpassed. All
the committees and the members OF the
labor organizations generally are work
ing hard to achieve success, and much
enthusiasm is being shown all along the
line. Yesterday all the committees re-
ported progress and were continued,
with such additional instructions as
were necessary.
One of the mooted questions In con-
nection with the parade was what or
ganization should have the right OF the
line. This Is post Of honor which al
ways brings out considerable rivalry,
and this year it was more pronounced
than ever. The matter occasioned a
long discussion, lasting over an hour,
and resulted in an agreement to settle
the question by secret ballot, under
the supervision of Chief Marshal l. w.
Imhoff. The result of the ballot was
in favor OF the miners taking the head
OF the column, their chief opponent be-
ing Garfield Assembly, cigarmakers.
This has been a vexed question before
the committee for several meetings
past.
Chairman P. s. Gould, Of the COM
mittee on stand privileges, desires all
persons wanting privileges to address
him at No. 12S Twenty-ninth street.
The General Committee will meet
again next Sunday, at which time the
agreement upon the fremen's race will
be acted upon.

COMPLICATED CASE
A VICIOUS ASSAULT AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES
LEADING TO IT.
A Man Charged With Tampsring With Mail
Matter, Attacks His AccuSsr With
Billy" in Saloon.

David Hanley was badly beaten up
with a billy Saturday night, in
Frohme's saloon. on Main street, south
of Twenty-frst street. His assailants
were Ed. and U. s. Dundon, brothers.
The circumstances leading up to the
assault are Of sensational character.
Hanley came to this city some time
ago, and opened an Office Of the Davis
Sewing Machine Company at 2125 Main
street. In some manner IL appears that
later he was superseded by the Dun
dons in charge of the Office. He brought
suit against them for personal &C
count, which suit is now pending.
Later he secured employment else
where, but his mail was still delivered
at the Davis Office. He had reason to
suppose that mail matter came there for
him, and called several times for 1t, but
was met with the answer that there was
nothing for him.
Hanley suspected the Dundon's OF
opening his mail, and yesterday made
complaint before U. 5. Commissioner b.
]. Campbell. Yesterday morning he
went down to Bellaire and mailed de-
GOV letter addressed to himself, in care
of the Davis Office. The letter asked
him to call at Bellaire, where certain
persons mentioned wanted to buy ma
chimes. He alleges that he called again
at the Davis Office, and was told that
no mail came for him. He further al
leges that one Of the Dundons went
down to Bellaire to call upon the per-
sons mentioned in the letter. Among
the letters which Hanley claims to have
missed was one from his brother con-
tanning a check for 81.
L. s. Marshal Robinson placed the
two brothers under arrest, and'they were
brought before Commissioner Campbell
Saturday night Both men.were placed
under bond for their appearance for a
preliminary hearing this afternoon at 2
o'clock. The defendants protested
their innocence.
About eleven O'Clock Hanley was In
Frohme's saloon. A gentleman who
saw him there is supposed to have in
formed the Dundoni brothers. AT any
rate they came In snOrJly alterWdru'
and Ed Dundon, without saying word,
produced a chilly" and proceeded to
pound Hanley on the head with 1t. His
brother was also about to take a hand
in the assault, when bystsnders
interfered AID prevented him from
doing so. Officer Donovan appeared in
a few minutes, but was not fleet-footed
enough to catch the retreating men.
Ed. Duudon appeared at police head
quarters Yesterday morning and sur
rendered. The case will be heard in
police court this morning.
Haniey was pretty badly used up.
His head shows the marks of the weapon
used, one ugly hole disfiguring the
scalp. He was assisted to his home.
Further developments in the case will
be awaited with interest.
