A GIRL TELLS or. CRUEL TREATMENT.

A pitiable sight was witnessed at the
r., w. & B. railroad station, Tuesday.
Rebecca Still, aged 13 years who
was crying, was approached by Officer
Gordy and to him and others she re-
lated that she wished to go home to
her father in Smyrna. She had been
at the ticket window and rendered 27
cents for ticket to Smyrna, and the
agent told her that the price was 30
cents. She thsn went outside the
station and cried, and the cause being
learned Officer Gordy paid the balance
of the money and secured her ticket
for her destination.
She was thinly clad and shivered
from the cold. Her stockings were worn
through on account of the soles of ths
stApes being worn out and the barred soles
of her feet rested on the cold pavement.
She stated that her mother had died
five years ago and that last fall she had
come to this city to live with a woman
near East Lake. The woman, she said,
had beaten her number of times and
Tuesday morning repeated the beating.
when she ran away and was determined
that she would not go back. The face
of the child showed marks of beating,
and several welts marked her neck, as
ifsttuck by stick.
The cause of the whipping, the child
stated, was her failure to wipe her
hands carefully after pairing potatoes,
and what incensed the woman more
was that when she attempted to emrha
| size her commands afterward, she
struck the edge oil the stove with pail
of scissors which she held in her hand.
The scissora snapped off. She then
whipped the girl again and sent hei
out to purchase another pair of scissors
from her scant savings of 81 cents, wher
the girl decided to escape.
AS soon as the story of the child was
told people about the station saw thai
she had enough money to purchase
pair Of shoes ON her arrival at Smyrna.
The father of the child is William
Still, and he has been employed fo
several years as basketmaker and il
said to earn good living. Agent Stou
of the Society ior the Prevention o
Cruelty to Children will investigate tn
case.

Cleveland, o., April Lit now
seems probable that the threatened
strike of the carpenters in this city
will not take place. 1t is said that
fully half of the contractors have
agreed to pay the increase demanded,
and it is thought the remainder will do
likewise shortly. The Building Labor
ers' Union also demanded an advance
today of % cents, or s2 per day. The
employers, it is said, have generally
conceded the advance. r-
