GRAND JURY INDICTMENTS.
The Little Chap Who Sacked Ex-Governor
Robes Residence is Indicted-So Are
Several Big Chaps for Using Clubs,
Selling Rum, etc.

The grand jury reported yesterday and Judge
Bonney's court wore a lively aspect yesterday
afternoon as County Attorney Robinson and
Assistant County Attorney True marshaled the
unfortunates before the court
There were no very important cases in the list,
which will be found in the court record in an
other column. Nadeau, the Windham rough
who assaulted lBellefontaine and nearly killed
him, is in the list He will be tried today.
Little Fred WEIGH.
One of the most high sounding of the quaint
indictments was read off to a little boy, who
stood up from among the big criminals and an
swered to his name in thin, piping voice. The
little fellow having answered, the indictment
proceeded as follows:
The grand jurors for said state upon their
oaths present that Frederick WEIGH, late of
GorhaIn, n the county of Cumberland and state
OF Name, laporer, on the 26th day of January,
A. D, 1892, at Gorham aforesaid, in the county
OF Cumberland aforesaid, with force and arms,
tne dWellng house of one Frederick ROBBIE, there
take and carry awaysone coat of the value of
$S, one vest OF the value of ST. one pair of pants
OF tne Value OF S., one pair of pants of the value
OF y 20 OF the goods, chattels and property of
SAID frederick ROBBIE, etc.
He pleaded not guilty and when Judge Bonney
NSAAS1 AAiiAl II lO WdiltCu d ldWSoI l0 Sdlu Lo
rather thought he did.
Although very diminutive, WEIGH is said to
merit very little sympathy. He ransacked the
genial ex-Governor's house pretty thoroughly
and bore away a great quantity of trousers,
vests and coats. He lived with Mr.. w. P. F.
ROBBIE, and was treated with great kindness,
which he didn't repay very we'll.
The SWEET Case.
Mr.. Charles SWEET, the express man, was in
dicted for liquor nuisance. This arose from his
havingsuansported into this state liquors by his
express line. A large quantity was found in his
Office, and it is claimed iu the Indictment that
he transported them, knowing that they were
for Illegal sale. MI. SWEET claims that they
were not intended for illegal sale. The grand
jury failed to find indictments against him on
the charges of transporting short Holsters and
assaulting an officer.
Other Matters.
Other noticeable indictments were these
against Charles Burke for assaulting Deputy
Sheriff S. D. Plummer on Danforth street, and
against James Kelleher and Dennis Kilday for
selling rum.

A Curious Experienca.

lady recently went into well known store
IN this city to make a purchase of some clothing
for her son. She saw suit that pleased hel
well but on asking the price she was told that il

pay and as nothing else in the store quite
suited her she decided to go to the boys cloth
ing department of the Atkinson Company She
was met by salesman who on being told what
she desired to pay for suit laid out several
The first suit she saw was like the one she had
seen in the other store. II told you did moi
care to pay over S." she said. "But madam
replied the salesman, shat is only S." So it is
quickly seen why the children's department Of
the Atkinson Company is so popular with the
mothers. Their ad giving several special bar.

Better to be a bit too
early than too late placing
orders for window shades,
curtains and other neces-
sary things for the sum-
mer cottage.
Good plan to select the
goods you want now, have
them made up and deliv-
cred when the house is
ready, this month or next,
then you're sure Of getting
them when wanted, other
wise there's likely to be a
delay because when the
rush for the islands and
the beach and the country
begins everybody wants
attention at once. That
means more or less una
voidable delay, and delay
at that time means disap-
pointment and annoyance.

&C. compass needle now points west of the

ie1lte Of Il IN fifteen years. The change
q. Tn wears Is therefore about 40. Our
respondent says that certain line run
tr DIS county surveyor bore y. 90 W. ten
year, ag1. Since then the magnetic nee
Or hos travelled 40 toward the west.
Consequently the angle between the nee
aud the line has diminished by that
amount. and the present bearing OF the
