complaining for tbemselves and all other
taxpayers, residents and electors in Sandy

p. Faux, William Boory and Robert Il.
Hamilton, board Of trustees OF the said
township. The petition sets forth that
the said board Of trustees pretending to

assembly, purchased from Sarah A. Gin
ney, May 10, 1893. lot OF land situated in
WAynesburR whereon to erect a township
hall. They agreed to pay $3.50 for the said
lot. They have contracted for the sale of
township bonds in the sum OF 5000 and
in making preparations have already ex-
pended 81, 500. The plaintiffs object to the
plan of the building and say that II is un-
fit FOR the use of the township. They
state that the building IL completed ac-
cording to the plans will cost much more
than the funds provided and will cost N,-
600 or s., 900 which the tax payers will have
TO pay. Plsintiffs declare that two mems
bers OF the board are residents OF Waynes-

or consent. She probably wouldn't have
married him IL she had known of this
transaction but she doesn't say SO in her

Cora MoFadden, Of Hopedale, Prefers
Charges Against N. II, Holmes She is
Brought to Account and is Found to be
An Imposter.
Msssillon has q sensation. There has
been considerable gossip regarding the
actions OF strange woman but nothing
definite was known until yesterday when
. statement was made for publication.
The Massillonian gives the appended ver-
sion Of the affair:
Some months ago, IL will be remem.
bered, the marriage of Mr.. N. II. Holmes
and Miss Minnie McGhie, two very popu-
lar and respected young people, took
place. The couple took up their residence
at the home of Mrs. Holiness parents, DR..
and Mrs. J. L. McGhie, on West Main
street, where they lived happily together
with no,hing to mar their new life until
last Tuesday. On this day there appeared
at their home in q coach, woman, who
from the cab door inquired IL her huss
band, Mr.. N. II. Holmes, was present.
The Family, not understanding she in
quiry and affordinR her no answer, she
asked to be taken Immediately to town,
stopping at the Sailer hotel, where she
had registered, before her visit to
McGhie's.
DR.. McGhie In company with DR.. Croft
followed hurriedly after her and demand
ed an explanation for her strange actions.
The trio were escorted TO n private room
where the object of her visit was disclosed.
She boldly asserted that N. h. Holmes
was hor lawfully welded husband and
that they had been married in Pittsburg.
She further stated that Holmes had left
her shortly after their marriage and that
the object of her visit was to bring him to
account. As q settlement she demanded
a large sum OF money. At this juncture
the doctor brought most sudden end to
her story and began questioning her as to
the authencity OF the charges preferred.
When asked by whom she was married,
connection with such en- event, she
claimed TO have forgotten all and
girl. 1t then dawned upon the
doctor that she was an impoetor and that
her sole object was money. She was un-
able TO present any documents whatever
as proof of the charges she made
against Mr.. Holmes. She was finally
made 20 admit her guilt and gave her
name as Miss Cora McFadden. She
promised never to trouble the family
again whereupon she was left to go her
way,
1t has later been learned that she is
from Hopedale. Mr.. Holmes was also
raised at that place. Holmes admitted OF
having met her and been in her company,
but pronounced her claim false as can be
plainly seen. Mr.. Holmes 10 an employe

DASTARDLY ASSAULT,
For Which Tony Pitcherlilly
is Held to Answer at the Next
Term of Court.
From the MasslllonIan.

Tony Pitcherlilly, an employe at the
rolling mill north of the city, was arrested
last evening, and had q hearing before
Mayor Reed this morning, on the charge
OF an assault on Maggie, the nine year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Grope,
who live near the mill. From the evil
dence OF the little girl assaulted, Maggie
Grope and her sister, who 10 two years
younger, IL appears that the assault was
of most diabolical character. The two
children were playing short distance
from their house In q somewhat uDfre-
quented locality, not near other houses,
when Pltcherlilly came along, and
knowing the children, he entered into
conversation with them. In q
moment or two he seized the older of the
two girls and made most cruel assault.
The testimony indicated that Pitcherlilly
10 thoroughly depravsd, and the mayor
was certainly justified, in default of his
giving bond, in committing him TO jail to
await the action of the next grand Jury.
Pitcherlilly is an Italian, aged about 80
years, and has been in this country almost
five years. His wife died in Italy about
two years ago, leaving one child. Pitch

with which he is charged, and OF which
the evidence of the two children seems to
indicate he is guilty.
