ALBERT YOUNG ON TRIAL  Justice Vance will Detrmine Wheth. CT He Should Be Held on the Charge of Attempted
 Assault.

At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the examining trial of Albert Young, the negro charge with entering the house of Mrs. Met Lloyd one night last week and attempting to outrage her, was begun before Justice W. D. Vance, and as theGRAPHIo goes to press witnesses in the case are being examined
 Mrs. Lloyd was the first witness placed upon the stand. She detailed how the villain entered her house and room-the details of which are familiar to the readers of the GRAPHIC. She described the hat worn by the midnight narauder as being the same as that worn by the man (Albert Youdg) who was blowing in q lot adjacent to her house the day before the attempted outrage. She also affirmed that. the man who at tempted to assault her was of the size and figure of Young, but on her oath she could not that he was the man.
 Young's appearance is decidedly against him, and if he is not more brute than human, his countenance is most deceiving.
 The trial of Young was set to have taken place Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, as announced in Mon- days GRAPHIC, but owing to the fact of Prosecuting Attorney Martin $ absence from the city, the case was postponed until today. Just when Young was brought back from the penitentiary, where he was carried for safe keeping, we are unable to say, as q deputy sheriff and the tailor denied that he was in the city at II o'clock this morning. Foster X Coleman, Young's attorneys, were the GRAPHIc's authority for it's first statement, and they maintain that it was correct. Young is here now, and more than likely, he was here Wednesday,, or else his trial would not have been set for that day. It would be well for our c. C. to investi- gate more closely before it attempts to eriticise the GRAPHIC on it's scoops"

A selfish world. No matter how
things go, the poor always suffer.
Yes; the nabods who own railroads
don't think anything of running over
a poor mans horse. And the man
who can afford to own a horse runs
down the poor fellow on a bicycle /;
and the fellow on the bicycle runs
down the poor chap who has to walk;
and the man who walks stumbles
against the poor fellow who goes on
crutches; and the fellow on crutches
spends most of his time jamming his
sticks down on other peoples corns.
So don't be too uncharitable with the
money-grabbers, for, remember had
all chance, each might be the big
gest, slippery rubber-grabber of them
all. This is a selfish world.
