Kelley Held for Assault
on 14-Year-Old Son.
Boys Body Was Covered With
WeltS and Bruises.
Agent of the Anti Cruelty Society
Will Prosecute Case.

William Kelley OF 30 McAvov street, was
brought into the Sixth District Court to-
day by Deputy Sheriff Andrew Mckenzie,
on the charge OF com mitting a violent
assault on his 14-year-oid son Joseph.
Last Saturday the Sisters connected
with one of the Catholic institutions, gave
Joseph some tickets to dispose of ano the
boy did not arrive home until late In the
evening. The following morning Kelley
took the boy TO task for remaining away
from home all day Saturday. He became
enrsgej, took heavy leather strap, and
beat the little fellow about the head and
body in q most brutal manner.
The following day an older sister took
the boy to the office of Charles III. Thur
Der, agent for the Society for the Preven-
tion OF Cruelty to Children. MIR. Thur
Der found the lads body to be q mass of
cuts and bruises, while on his head were
pumber of cuts. Mr.. Thurber issued a
warrant for the arrest of the inhu-
man parent, and gave 1t TO Deputy
Sheriff Mckenzie. to serve. For a day
the officer was unable to find Kelley, but
this morning arrested him at his home.
When arraigned Kelley said that be did
not think he assaulted his boy. He was
held until Tuesday for trial. 1t Is
claimed by members OF the family that
they cannot live at home owing to the
tempsr of their father and they also told

event OF the success OF the nominees OF
the Chicago convention. Our gold would
leave US or be boarded, contraction of
$500, 900, 900. The remainder OF our money
would shrink in purchasing power equal
TO the difference between the par value Of
the dollar and the bullion price Of sill
yer. That difference is now about AZ
cents. So that our circulation would pc
contracted to that extent and we would
have less than 80 per capita in circula-
tiop of actual mo ,ey where we now have
s22.
Mr.. Bryan says we would no doubt
have a panic at first (after the adoption
of free coinage). He admits that much.
He does not say whether Ii will be just a
little wave which will wet the toes and
scare the timorous, or whether 1t will be
a tidal wave which will sngulf the ma
tioD. We are not children In experience.
We had our fingers burned four years
ago. and they are yet sore from the
effects of the fire. William j. Bryan told
us then that free trade was Just what We
needed, that our trou bles were all duo to
the tariff. He now tells US that We must
have free silver; that 1t will be crime
against humanity to longer refuse 1t;
and all mankind has been suffering
untold misery since 1873 on account of
the demonetiz zation OF silver.
You know better. VIII you take his ad-
vice again? do not think you will.
There is no use in deceiving ourselves in
dealing with this question. We have
more gold and more silver than we ever
had before, and altogether more circu-
lating medium than we ever had before,
snd we have no money that is not at
par with gold, which is the recognized
money OF the commercial world. Let us
not run after moonshine theories pressed
upon US by Bryan, Iillman, Altgeld and
men who may be honest, but who are
urging the people of this country to
adopt a policy or try an experiment In
defiance of the facts of history and In
opposition to the Judgment of the
wisest friend of silver In the world.
The Repu blican party is for bi-metal-
lism. II believes in the use of both gold
and silver as money. II believes In the
admission of both to the mints Of the
United States on equal terms as soon as
, 1t can be done with safety and honor.
Our party is pledged to 1t in the st.
Louis platform.
Whenever hard times have como upon
the country there have always been men,
calling themselves by some party name,
who tried to ride into power on the dis
content and misery of their countrymen.
But, thank God, they have always failed,
and will fail again.

WARREN'S WILD MAN.
Captured This Morning on the Bank
of the Kickemuit.
Was Calmly Engaged in Piscatory
Pleasures when Arrested.

The people OF Warren are breathing
eesier today than for some weeks past.
This is due to the fact that tine alleged
wild man who has been written about in
the newspapers and talked about on the
street corners has been captured and is
now securely locked mp In a cell at police
headquarters in the town hall. This
morning officer Walsh went over to the
banks of tho Kickemuit river and there
he found the so-calleo wild man engaged
in peaceful piscatory pursuits. He had
taken up position just north OF the
bridge and was quietly fishing when the
officer took him into custody. He went
quietly and was soon at the police Office
I'm the town hall. There he was ques-
toned, but nothing very satisfactory
was obtained from him. He gave
his name as Frank Castone and
said he is French Canadian
He admitted that ne had been sleeping in
the woods and In. barns and outhouses
tor some time, but that was tho extoDt
of the information impaired by him.
He mas not the forbiddinR and sinister
appearance that is expected to mark the
bona fide wild man, but on the contrary
shows indications OF being mentally de-
ranged. He will be arraigned before Judge
Bosworth this evening.

AWFUL END.
Joe SCanlOn Has
Fatal Fall.
Dropped to Rails From
Top of Freight Car.
The CabOOSe Ran Over Him
Mangling His Body.
Both Legs Were Nearly Severed
From Body by the Wheels.
Unfortunate Man Died Soon After He
Reached Rhode Island Hospital.
The CabOOse Ran Over Him
Mangling His Body.
Both Legs Were Nearly Severed
From Body by the Wheels.
Unfortunate Man Died Soon After He
Reached Rhode Island Hospital.

Joseph Scanlon OF Saybrook Junction,
Conn.,, was in some unknown manner
thrown from q freight train near the
Earle street crossing in Elmwood today
and was run over. He died at the Rhode
Island Hospital at II 80 O'Clock this fore
noon. He had been riding on the next
to the rear car of the train, and the
wheels OF the ca boose nearly cut both his
legs off.
Train 435, through freight from New
London In charge of Conductor Stephen
Smith on the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, had just passed the
crossing named when the watchman
there saw the body Of q man lying on the
tracks over which the train had passed.
The watchman ran to investigate the
mans condition, and found that both
legs had been nearly cut from the body.
Ha at once summoned the Rhode Island
Hospital amulance, which promptly
arrived with DR.. Andrews Of the hos
pital staff.
DIR. Andrews found that both OF
Scanlon's thighs had been run over by tho
wheels OF the car and that the lower part
OF the left leg barely hung by the flesh
and muscles to the body and that the
right thigh, though Ii, like the left one,
had sustained q compound commuted
fracture, was not as badly injured as the
other. Tne injuries to the right thigh
were closer to the knee than were those
on the lett thigh.
The man was In 80 shocking q con-
dition when the ambulance arrived that
DR.. Andrews was afraid 6caplon would
die on the way 10 the hospital, but he
did not. DIR. Keefe was at the hospital
when the unfortunate victim arrived and
O consultation was held, at which II was
decided that IL Scanlon recovered from
the shock both legs should be ampu-
tated. None OF the doctors thought the
chances were in favor .of his ralyinR,
and his death from the effect of HE
injuries was looked for by them, and
as the result shows they had judged
rightly.
The accident occurred about 9:35
o'clock this morning. Scanlon is about
80 years OF age and had been married
but a short time. He was not In the
employ of tue cowpany, and he, 1t Is
said, was not noticed getting or to the
train at Saybrook Junction this morn
ing. None of the railroad men knew
what Scanlon's occupation was.

WITH A HAMMER.
Mrs. Moore Assaulted by Her Hus-
band.
After Striking Her Between the Eyes the
Brute Fled.

Among the prisoners in the Sixth Dis
trict Court this morning was Beauregard
Moore, colored, 81 years old, who was
charged with making an assault on his
wife Fannie with q dangerous weapon.
Moore and his wife have not lived to-
gether for some time and the woman has
supported herself by doing housswork at
7 Walnut street. Late yesterday afternoon
Moore called at the house and sent word
to his wife that he wanted her TO go to
Boston with him. As she stepped into
the hallway from the kitchen Moore
picked no hammer which lay on table
and struck her between the eyes. Moore
then ran from the house, but was cap
tured by Patrolman William F. O'Neil on
the way to the station. Moore made
desperate attempt to get away and the
policeman was Obliged to use consider
able force to hold him. He pleaded guilty
this morning and was held for the ac-
tion of the grand jury in the sum of $500.
Mrs. Moure's injuries are not OF a serious
nature.

Mr.. Thurber that their father assaulted
their mother for interposing while he
was beating Joseph, and that their
mother is now stopping with relatives at
Central Falls. The boy is at the child
ren's nome on Doyle avenue, and the
society has made request to the Probate
Court for the custody OF the boy.
Mr.. Kelley Is a man OF some property,
ana some Of his neighbors say he Is not
wholly to blame for his action.
When arrested this morning he told
the officer that perhaps he used more
force than he should, but the actions OF
his son were such that he deemed 1t
necessary to punish him severely.

He attacked Mark Hannaism and
AfcKinleyism and declared that if the
Mark Hanna crowd succeeded this year
in buying the election of Mckinley
that it would be the end of the govern
ment of the people in this country.
He spoke with fervor upon the nee
essity of the Bryan men of all parties
voting together. He declared that the
grand old party of Lincoln and Grant
was now like a potato crop, the best
part of it was under the ground the
balance running off after Mark Hanna
in the wilderness worshipping the
golden calf.
Mr.. Watson followed in one of the
most powerful of all his great efforts.
He discussed the Chicago platform and
said but little about State politics, de-
elaring in the beginning that he
should confne himself to those mat
ters which in his opinion were of most
Importance to the great masses of the
people. He was cheered from the be-
ginning to end and his speech had
much effect upon the vast crowd pre-
sent.
In Mai. Guthrie's rejoinder he
brought up the Alliance matter again
DuL with lttiE VI IO GlLCCb anu W 41NA
Mr.. Watson in his reply told how in
stead of being at enmity with the
Farmers Alliance he had him
self, and through his friends
raised $500 to help Col. L.
L. Polk when he started the Pro-
gressiVe Farmer, and loaned it to him
without interest, and for such time as
he might need it, and that he had re-
ceived the thanks of that great leader
and friend of the people with tears
standing in his eyes. When Mr.. Wat
son referred to this there was mighty
yell went up from the great crowd
that drowned the f1imsy charge of Maj.
Guthrie.
1t has gone out that Pritchard re-
ceived a great ovation here. He came
to speak during the day but when the
time came himself and half dozen
others were all that were present. The
speaking was then postponed until
night when a fair audience of town
people went out to hear him. The
mill men went, a number of them;
but hundreds of the town went out
tonight to hear Mr.. Watson, who
spoke in the court house, by invita-
ton, and they cheered him to the echo
as he riddled Pritchard and his false
and misleading doctrine.
Cabarrus is with us and will be more
so in November.

WATSON AND GUTHRIE AGAIN.
Both Preach Silver to a Great Crowd
at Concord

BOIh Predeh Silver 10 q Great Crowd
at Concord.
Concord. n. c., Sept. IA CSpecial)-
Concord has been boiling over with
politics to-day. Fifteen hundred peo-
pie have been here stirring the fires
that have produced the heat. 1t was
Watson-Guthrie day in Cabarrus and
the friends of both men turned out
en- mass to hear them. 1t has been a
field day for Bryan and free silver.
While it must be admitted that the
factional fight here on the money
question has been probably more bit
ter than at any point in the State, the
fight inside the party is about over
and both factions are lining up for
Bryan and Democracy. Dozens of
strong sound money men have told
me that they were going to Loyalty sup
port the ticket with or without cleo
tOral fusion. The silver forces, Dem
ocrats and Populists, are a unit in
favor of getting together and the Dem
ocrats generally are declaring with en-
phasis that hey are going to carry the
county for the State and county tick
cts.
Major Guthrie led off here to-day in
speech devoted mainly to the money
question. He spoke with even more
fervor than ever against Populist sup
port of gold bugs for Congress or Uni
ted States Senator. He declared from
the stand that if anybody expected
him to come out and preach the doe
trine of the Populist party and then
advise support of a gold bug for Con-
gress or for the United States Senate
that they were mistaken in the man.
He attacked Pritchard for trying
to deceive the people and trying to
divert their minds from the main issue
to the old threadbare issue of tariff.
