0'Brien Arrested for Fraud-Pinafore
by Amateurs-NeWs Of the Town.
Special TO the News.

NEWPORT, Feb. 20.-Edward +. O'Brien,
one of the proprietors of the Newport
Web Company, was yesterday arrested
under the civil process, two writs OF
arrest being served, each charg-
ing him with fraud. The
plaintiffs in the cases are
Louis p. Grosholz of New York, who loses
$4,000, and a Mr.. Kearns OF Taunton, who
loses $500. These two gentlemen let
O'Brien have this money and as surety
they were to get an interest in the busi-
ness. This, they now claim, has never been
done and they were defrauded out Of
their money. Kearns, IL is understood,
was just about to invest another large
pum. O'Brien was placed under
$4,000 bail, and, failing 20 secure
it, was confined in the county Jail.
Those who know the case and have been
at work on IL say some startling facts will
yet come to light. O'Brien has not been
very successful in the rubber business, he
previously having sunk large sum at the
same stand.

had affairs with artistic and the like;
but then as NJ. DuMaurier ~attests, she
is sweet, pure, Il model young woman.
The three Britons fall in love with
Trilby. (strange.) Little Bill draws
her foot, they all rave, and she sings
Ben Bolt with a marvellous voice but
regardless OF time, or any musical APP
purtenances whatever; the voice Of a
nightingale, the song Of a frog. Little
