Monmouth Grocery Clerk Says Employer Has

people of this place have another subject,
the result of which they are looking for

Ernest A. Pickett has been sued by
Charles Sanborn in the sum Of $4,000 for
defamation of character.
1t appears that Sanborn was hired by
Pickett as clerk in the latter's grocery
store Sanborn to stay one year. Pickett
is said to claim that the cash register has
not been coming out right, and to impli-
cate Sanborn as the one who has been
tanpering with it. So about three weeks
ago, Sanborn was informed that his ser.
vices We're no longer needed the above
charges being preferred against him.
1t is further claimed that for the past
three months an account has been kept to
see how much was actually made, and
with the exception of the two weeks at
Christmas; the receipts did not pan out
enough to make it profitable enough to
keep clerk.
Sanborn formerly ran store at North

BAYARD's RECENT SPEECHES.
will Undoubtedly Be Ccnsured by House in
Greater or Less Degree.

Washington, Jan. 30.--No conclusive
action was taken ny the House foreign
affairs committee today concerning Am
bassador Bayard s recent speeches at Edin-
burgh and Boston. At the last meeting Of
the committee all the papers In the case
were referred to "a subcommittee consist
ing OF Messrs. Draper Of Massachusetts,
Pearson Of North Carolina, and Dinsmore
of Arkansas. Their sub-coinm ittec reached
| the informal decision that some resolution
OF oensure ought to be adopted.
When the full committee met, today,
Chairman Hit submitted four resolutions,
offered by different gentlemen with rcf,r
ence to Mr. Bayard's uttcrances.
One resolution, understood to have been
prepared by Mr.. Draper (who was absent)
was very mild and, without naming Mr..
Bayard, declared that any language by an
ambassador rejecting upon the American
people, was ndiscreet.
Another RI solution, Of which Mr.. Pear
son as the author, strongly cepsured Mr.
Bayard for his alleged indiscrcet utter
ances. The other resolutions took mid
die ground between the extremes.
Mr. McCreary of Kentucky, formerly
chairman Of the committee, moved that
the resolutions he referred bsck TO the
subcommittee, which should be increased
by the addition Of two other members. as
it was evident that the b-committee had
reached no understanding.
This led to IA discussion in which Nc
Creary, Money and Dinsmore spoke princi
pally for the Democrats and Qulgg, Hit
and Pearson for the Republicans. QuiPg
ard Pearson insisted that Mr.. Bayard de
served strong ccnsuro.
Money thought Mr. Bayard had been
guilty OF an indlscret!on, but that WIS no
reason why the House should be equally
indiscrect. McCrcury showed the necessity
for fuller discussion Of the subject. He
thought II unfair that a mere phrase In
one Of the speeches should be made the
subject Of 80 much importance
The manifest purpose Of the Democrats
vas not only to defend Hr. Bsyatd, but
10 gain time, Pending discussion the
hour of II arrived and he committee had
to adjourn. The committee viii meet
again, Saturday. 10 dispose Of the Bayard
resolutions and other business.
