CASES FOR THE GRAND JURY.
The Negro Boy Hutchinson in Jail for
Criminal Assault-Tw Other
Arrests.

Assistant ProsecutingAttorney John
ID. Orear has been quite busy the last
two days in the interest of the State,
Prosecuting Attorney j. G. Trimble
being out of town.
Three State cases-one near Wor-
%cester, n at Thompson and the third
IN MexicoNhave been laid on the
shelf, SO to speak, for the next Grand
Jury to act upon by this hustling
young attorney.
Roy Hutchinson, a negro boy Is years
old, is nov occupying a cell in the
County Jail in this city, lodged there
by Deputy Constable John Beagles, of
near Worcester, last night. The
charge against him is that of rape.
Passing the house of a colored man
named Scott near Worcester Wednes-
day he asked Annie, the 14-year-old
daughter of Mr. Scott, if her father
was at home and received a negative
answer. Hutchinson at once proceeded
to assault the girl and, no one being
near, he succeeded. Parties over a
quarter of a mile away heard the
creams of the girl. His preliminary
trial was held in Squire Bakers Court
at Worcester yesterday. When arrest
ed, Hutchison was slumbering with
another coon's spouse and was much
alarmed when the officer Of the law
dragged him from his quarters.
The second State last is that of Miss
Ada Hill vs.. Henry Grafford, both
parties of ear Thompson, for SANDER.
Miss Hill claims that Grafford circu-
lated false reports concerning her
which were detrimental to her char
acter as a pure woman. Grafford,
who is the SOB of a well-to-do farmer
near Thompson, was arrested and is
now released under $500 bond till the
time of his trial in Squire Riley's Court
in this city on July %. The girls rep
utation is said to have been morally
straight and unimpeachable.
Another 81 of color in the third
instance: Glade Morris, who has
worked for John Lane, the butcher,
for years, has had Kate Norton ar
rested for stealing a sewing machine
from his residence. Both parties are
weel known negroes. 1t seems that
Mrs. Morris was absent in st. Louis
undergoing medical treatment and
she got Kate Northern to keep house
for her husband while she was away.
Kate, suddenly overcome with the
fever of kleptomania, removed the
family sewing machine from it's ia
miliar corner and took ittoAugustHel-
fert, the second-han store man, and
disposed of it. Mrs. Morris returned
from the city yesterday and at once
the war began. The button was
pressed and the Grand Jury will do

CHINESE COME IN BY ROPE.
Johns Ingenious Method of Crossing
the st. Lawrence After Dark.

QUEBEC, July 10.-The willy Chinese
have lately been adopting new tactics
for gaining admission into the United
States from Canada. In the neighbor-
hood of Iroquois, Ontario, on the
Canadian side, and Hogansburg, N. Y,
anew method for smuggling Chinese
is in vogue. The plan is a clever one.
A long rope has been stretched across
the st. Lawrence, which is narrow at
this point, and firmly secured to large
stakes on either side of the river. On
this, and aided by darkness, the Celes-
tial manages to cross the lines by
swimming and holding on to the rope.
The method is not as dangerous as it
appears; in fact it is quite easy to de-
port the Chinese across the lines with
out much risk to any one but the I'M
happy traveller himself, perhaps, and
the expense is trivial, while those who
manipulate the trick get all the way
from $75 to $50 for every Chinese
smuggled by them.
There are reports that these lines
are in use in several places. Three
minor arrests have already been made.

The Cycling Girl.

From the Somerville Journal.
The hammock girl is out Of date,
The carriage girl passee,
The girl who rides the bicycle
Rules all the world to-day.
She flashes by with graceful speed,
As if she rode on air,
And as she glides along she finds
Admirers everywhere.
Let Bishop Doane and Bishop Coke
Abuse her rs they may,
The cycle girl is here brand new,
And she is here to stay.
She doesn't are how much they fuss,
For she knows she's all right,
For, even as they grumble, they
Must own she's out of sight.
So here's to the sweet cycle girl,
In boomers or in skirts,
She's worth a dozen of the girl
That lounges round and firts.
And here's a wish for Bishop Coke,
A-railing on the fence;
That he may live and grow in grace,
And some day have more sense.

bridesmaid, Miss Leila Pearson, of

other aisle came the groom supported
by Mr.. Elmer Lippincott. Arriving at
the altar, which was profusely deco
rated, the party was met by Rev. Hill,
who tied the knot in a very pleasing
manner. The service was short az it
was sweet. The church was crowded.
Messrs. Atkinson and Brown made
very able ushers.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
the bridal party and some few friends
adjourned to the Rice Hotel, where
elegant refreshments were served.

Mexico weekly ledger., 1895-07-18


WHEN the Stale Convention meets
this year instead of arranging for a
large mess of crow to be eaten by
Missouri Democrats III 1896, it should
discuss ways and means to elect the
Democratic ticket in Missouri. The
National Democratic platform in 1896
will be even stronger for sound money
than that adopted by Kentucky Dem
ocrats.
THE LEDGER is unable to understand
the spirit which prompts a man to
shirk the responsibilities of citizen
ship. Why a citizen, especially one
who is well fixed, should attempt to
dodge his taxes, his church dues and
all other calls that are made for char
ity and like causes, is beyond our COM
prehcnsion. Good citizens should
not only be willing, but anxious
to meet all necessary expenses of con-
Quoting Il good government. This is
one of the chief qualifications of good
citizenship.
THE Kentucky Populists adopted 4
platform WHICH calls for free and I'M
limited coinage OF silver; denounces
the gold bugs, Republicans, Great
Britain, bonds, Democrats, hard times
and other things; calls for more
g~reensbacks and ]reasserts the Omaha
platform. One of the many absurd,
tiles of Populism is the demand fol-
unlimited silver coinage, and also fol
greenbacks. II the fiat government
gives value, why put any silver at all
in the dollar? Why not have green
backs, pure and simple?
