A London Sign That Seems Queer. but

The stranger in any city half hun
dred years old, IL he knew nothing OF
the city's history, would learn FROM
many of the business signs that the
second and third generations had sue
ceeded to the business of father and
grandfather.
A Londoner who had strolled about
the streets Of Gotham with a New
Yorker. WHO called his attention to
some of the signs Of sons. agreed that
In this respect New York was very like
London, but In neither city was there
any such sign as he saw in one of the
old English towns a few hours run
from the British capital. The sign

Held For County Court.

At the hearing of Valentine Hahn,
the Sudbury farm hand, suspected of
the alleged assault of Miss Nellie Nee
han, school teacher several weeks
ago, held Saturday morning in the Rut-
land city court, he pleaded not guilty to
the charge, waived examination and
was placed under $1,000 bail. The
security could not be obtained so he will
be obliged to stay in Jail until his trial
at the March term of Rutland County
court.
Hahn was arrested several weeks ago
in Sudbury by Constable Edward
Trudeau of that town on a warrant
issued by States Attorney B. L. Stat
ford of Rutland.
Hahn was working as farm hand in
Sudbury at the time of the alleged
assault. He talked considerably about
the case and professed to know more
about the affair than anyone else.
States Attorney Stafford was informed
and the warrant was issued. Hahn
maintains that he was in Rutland the
day of the assault, while evidence tends
to prove that he was seen in Sudbury
on that day.
