ms morning.
There were number of cases in the
Sixth District Court this morning that
Were out OF the usual course of things, the
first being that OF josef. Damazo, who
was arraigned on the charge Of embez-
zling from Senhorinha A. Williams.
Two or three years ago Williams gave Da-
mazo 1850 to pay bill for him at the
Rhode Island Brewery Company, and Da-
mazo paid $3.50 on account and appropri-
ated the remaining 500 to his own use.
week ago the brewing company and
Williams had a settlement and the memo
randum showed that Williams owed the
company just 800 more than he could
account for, and he had receipts to show
that such was the case. Williams and the
company compared notes and 1t was
found that on a certain date $3.50 had
been paid on account, while the receipt
showed 1850. Williams thought the mat
ter over ana then IL dawned upon him
that this was the bill that Damazo paio,
and that was just why there was S100
difference in the account. Williams told
his story. TO detective Parker, who sent
detectives Swan and Reardon out after
Damazo and they found him yesterday
afternoon on South Main street. In court
this morning he waived examination and
was held for the action of the grand jury.

Joseph and Louis Gribinsky were charged
by truant officer Whittemore with being
tIuants and said that nothing but a term
at the reform school will do the young
sters any good. Louis, the younger of
the two, is possessed of swell musi-
cal voice, and he with a boy named
Cianciarrelli, who owns q fiddle, has
made quite an extended musical trip
throughout the New England and Middle
states. About two months ago these
boys were In Philadelphia and were with
out funds and went to the Central police
station in that city, where they told who
they were. The police of this city were
notified and the parents of the boys went
after them. The boys made their head
quarters in New York at Steve Brodie's
famous resort on the Bowery. One OF the
boys fdoled and the other sang, and both
passed the hat.
After the boys came home Louis told
his brother Joe the lots of money he had
made while away from home, so Joe got
fiddle and ne learned how TO play, and
then the two went to New Bedford. Fall
River and other towns, and picked up
considerable money. Last Thursday night
they purchased first class tickets from
Fall River TO New York, via the Fall
River line, and as soon as the boat left
the dock the boys "got in their work. I"
When the captain saw who they were he
refused to take them as first class pas
sengers, but Louis, who is not IL years
old, gave the captain quite an argument
end said that his money was as good as
anybody's on board, hut the captain rul d
otherwise, and when the good ship landed
in New York Louis and Joe were handed
over TO the police. Their father was
notified and he went after them. For the
next two years he will find them at the
reform school.

gether in the dyeing room of the De-

The Boyd family, according to letter
from the chief Of police OF Norwich,
Conn.,, to Chief of Police Baker, are just
a little mixed.
A short time sgo Mrs. Boyd, who was
then in this city, wrote to Norwich ask
ing the chief of police 10 find her hus-
band and daughter. The chief ordered is
men TO search Norwich for them, but
they met with no success. a few days
ago the daughter, wrote to the chief and
wanted HIM to find her mother, and this
was a sticker for the Norwich chief Of
police. but he did the best that he could,
and now he wants the police force and
the newspapers of Providence to assist
