The Indictment of Warden Osborne.
 (New York Worldly

Most persons will prefer to wait for the evidence before arriving at a definite opinion in regard to the merits of the indictment which a Westches ter County Grand Jury has returned against Warden Osborne of Sing Sing.
 It is within the range of human pos- slb1ilty that MT. Osborne has been guilty of malfeasance and immortality. It is considerable further within the range of human possi bility that the charges against him have been manu- factured by a gang of interruptions politicians to give the Governor an excuse to remove him.
 When Sing Sing Warden of MT. Osborne's reputation and attainments has been honestly trying to reform prison methods, it requires more proof than the ex-parte assertion of West chester County Grand Jury, taking it's law from Westchester County Dis trict Attorney, to convince us that he belongs among the convicts of whom he IS the official custodian.
 In the circumstances. we reserve the right to te exceedingly sceptical until we know more about the merits of the cacH 1f-an we know now.

Scarcity of Labor Felt in These Parts Automobiles Suffer By Storm Yes- terday-Church Entertainments Whist Club Meets

Berlin is certainly "Jonah" town for Nathaniel Gordon of Willow street, New Britain. Gordon has been before the public eye in this town on many occasions and another chapter was added to his woes yesterday. Cor don is in the produce business and re- gently he decided to add poultry to
 his wares. Yesterday morning he del- sgated his two sons Nathaniel, IT,, better known as "Buffke'' and Aaron, to come to town and purchase a SUD- ply of chickens. The former drove the wagon and the father gave the money, amounting to SEQ, to Aaron, who is about fourteen years old and cau- toned him to hang on to it for dear life. When the boys reached the old
 coffin factory, Nathaniel, told the Younger fellow he knew place in the rear where man kept supply of the nirds. Of course, being the elder lie should be the one to perform the transaction The younger boy at first dsrnurred to this as he distinctly re- called the advice of his father. Final 'ly by his persuasive eloquence, Ma thaniel, Jr., convinced Aaron that he was the better. business man.
 Aaron wrapped the blanket around himself and the older boy left for the farmhouse. The younger boy sat in the wagon for what he considered a reasonable length of time. He whistled and called but received no reply from his brother. Finally he jumped from the wagon and started on a scouting todr. He inquired at all the houses in the ncighborhood but could get no information concerning tho where
 abouts of his brother. Little Aaron became peeved over the disappearance and began to cry. Histories grew into shrieks, so one citizen asked him the cause of the. uproar. Between sobs he made, his woes known. He had a pre- monition that his brother had de- cainped and when the citizen suggest ed that they go to the passenger depot and make. inquiries, the boy readily assented.

had no money to pay fine and if he went to jail his wife and children would suffer. MT. Meyers told the court that he was not disposed to have the man dealt with too severely and he had him arrested merely to show him the error of his ways. He recog- nized that Perrins family should not be made to suffer for him and he had no objection to the imposition of the minimum penalty.
 Prosecutor Norton recommended jail sentence with a suspension of judgment. Justice Prior fined him S1 and costs and sent him to jail for thirty days for breach of the peace, adding another month on the intoxi- cation charge. He suspended the execution of the jail sentence and put the accused on probation for six months, ordering him to report once a week to Grand Juror Norton.
 It was the first session of the court in several weeks.
