A BRUTAL CRIME
Charged to a Negro Now Under Ar rest-1ied a Boy Up and Left Him
 Hanging Until He Died.

AUGUSTA, Ga. ,< March 29.-A special to the Chronicle from Gibson, Ga., says: A sensational criminal case has just come to light in Glascock county. Yesterday Will lis Hash swore out warrant charging Adolph Cody, colored, with murder.
 At the preliminary trial the evidence showed that Cody had tied a rope around the body and arms or an orphan boy who had been given 10 him to raise and then tied the rope around the joist of the room, his feet being drawn above the floor at least 8 or 4 inches. Cody and his wife then left the boy in this position and locked the door of the house and went off to visit a neighbor not far away.
 This was after dark. A negro passing the house heard the cries of the boy, who was about years old, and upon making inquiry as to the trouble, the boy told him to come in and let him down, that Cody had tied him up with ropes.
 The negro outside tried to go to his res- cue, but the doors and windows were se- , surely fastened and he could not enter. The boy cried for help, but no relief came.
 The negro outside went to the house where Cody was and told him he had better go and let the boy down. It was about an hour after this that Cody and the negro went to the house where the boy was, and when they let him down they discovered that he was dead. This happened on Feb. ruary 21, this year. The boy was buried and Cody remained in the community un- til he was arrested yesterday.
 The negro who witnessed the whole transaction has just given 1t out. The matter is likely to lead to some very sensa- tionaf developments. Cody, in his state. msnt, said that he did not intend to kill the boy, but simply tied him up to punish him for stealing. The court committed Cody to jail to await action by the grand jury at the August term of court.

Hon. W. W. Stetson Will Make Tour Of Rural
District Schools.

Hon. W. W. Stetson, State superin
tendent of schools, proposes to take toul
through several counties of the State be
fore many weeks in the interests of tn,
rural district schools.
My plan is like this he began, yes
terday afternoon, when a journal repor
ter asked what plans he had laid
out for tho summers work, and con-
tined: To make trip by team, leaving
Auburn and going down through York
county and then circle around to the
northward, down to the coast and back
home. 1t is my object to visit the rural
district schools, and make the entire trip
by team. l have heard great deal about
the condition of the rural district schools
of Maine being far below what they should
be, and propose to make this trip with
the object of specially determining the ex-
act state of affairs.
II now have slips at the printing office
which I will use, and the headings of
these are arranged for notes about where
the teachers were educated, degrees given
name, age, where previously taught, how
long they have been teaching, and other
necessary information about them
Headings will also be provided for notes
about the schools, number of pupils, con-
ditions of buildings, if the school pays,
and if not why. This tour l propose
to make benefit to the work of this de-
partment of school work, and about
1000 miles will be covered"
