their revolvers aud keep back the crowds
with threats of shooting.
The great crowd had gathered to Wit
ness the G.. A. Il. procession, but when
the patrol wagon with Graham appeared
he became the center of attraction. TIE
crowd followed the wagon shouting
'1ynch him" and gathered about the
door of the police station. Before Graham
could be taken from the wagon it was
necessary to drive the crowd by the dis
play of arms. Then squad Of officers
rushed the prisoner into the court room.
Graham was half dead with fright,
and in a weak voice pleaded guilty to
the charge of assault in the first degree
on which he may be sent to prison for
20 years.
While Graham was relating how he
attacked the little girl and attempted
to drag her into clump of bushes, John
Luck, father of the girl, who arrived
just in time to cescue her, tried to attack
Graham. He was held back by officers.
The police waited until the crowd had
disappeared before daring to bring
Graham out of the conrt room, and be
was then hurried to the Queens county
Jail for safe keeping.

Minister Again Disappears.

Rev. Charles K. Dalrymple, OF Mil
bury, Mass, whose wife accused him Of
uufaithfuIness, following his arrival in
Chicago to which city he went after
suddenly leaving his church, left his room
early yesterday, and it is feared that he
NAV not return. His disappearance
followed 6 display Of intense agitation,
thought to have been caused by publ
cation of an interview with his wife, in
which she named young woman who
had been employed as a domestic in the
Dslrymple home, but who sfte,ward had
been educated until she became, as the
pastor said, "the belle of Milbury."
When he was told Of the charges
brought by his wife, he burst into tears
and declared that he was being prose
cuted and that attempt was being made
to get possession ofhis wife's property.
He declared that his relations with the
young woman were not improper. She
came to his home, he said, when she WAS
only 16 years old. She worked as r
hCusemsid for q time. AS she grew old
er, she developed into a beautiful young
woman. Her beauty was noticed, and
she was educated in department and
music. "If it is true that the young
woman is coming TO Chicago In search
Of me-" said Mr.. Dslrymple: "she must
be insane, and | will be forced to consider
her OF unsound mind"

THE Chicsgo Tribune prints the ale
CATION that the United States Steel Cor
poration is said to be "selling rails to
the japanese Government at its export
price, which is $lOa ton less than its
domestic price, and is making them in
strict accordance with the japanese spec
i6cations." Rails Of Inferior quality,
such as have been sold and laid down on
the railways of the United States, will
hardly pass the japanese inspection. 1t
will not lessen the public indignation to
know that the lives Of travellers are thus
reedlessly endangered in this country by
the use Of defective rails. In comment
ing upon this the Philadelphia Record
says: There is something rotten in a
condition that enables foreigners to come
iato our market and buy better rails for
less money.
