An Object Lesson. ' ,
Frank Sweeney, Grand Chief of the
Switchmen’s Mutual Aid Association, is
realizing the truth of the adage that
misfortunes never come singly.
' He instigated a strike of the‘ switch-
men at Buffalo which .proved a failure ;
- one of the victims of his foolish strike
' knocked him down and pounded him
for causing the loss of the switchmen’s
. job, and now 'the SWitchmen’s Associa-
tion has repudiated him and elected
another chief.
Mr. Sweeney is doubtless fully con-
vinced by this time that republics are
not the only ungrateful organizations.
As he faces a cold world and the cer-
tainty that he will be compelled to be-
come a sure enough workingman in or-
der to earn a living, he may reach the
wise conclusion that it pays every 'man
best in the long run to mind his own
business and not to attemptto mind the
business of everybody else.

The Negro Committed for Trial With-
out Bail.
BOSTON, Sept. 30.—The preliminary
hearing in the case of Richard Powell
charged with the murder of George W.
Brawn, was held in the Somervillc police
court this morning before Judge Isaac
Story. Chief of Police Parkhurst con-
ducted the case for the state, and
Richard Powell had as counsel J. B.
Goodrich, Esq., of Boston.
Edna Wallace, the stepdaughter of
Powell, was called upon to tell what she
knew. She said she, was seated about
two years ago in an outhousé, in the
rear of a building, in Dane Court. A few
small cracks in the plankirg gave light
to the interior, and by means of these
alsoa view of the yard and the rear of
her house was to be had. She saw her
stepfather appear in the doorway, his
countenance lighted with savage joy and
his uprolled sleeves flecked with bloody
spatterings. Fearful she came forth and
besought her father to tell her what had
happened, and with exulting fierceness
he told her he had murdered the man
she loved and threatened her with like
unishment if she, informed on him.
his testimony was reiterated by her
sister, whom the enraged father also
told of his deed.
The missing man and Miss Wallace
were engaged to be married. fl ratep-
father, R:chard Powell, now—r took any
interest in the funny. He {recently
whipped, even beat mean, Warn they
were in the South and drov: them lrom.
'home. Her mother was kind and Eff—‘0-
tionate, and for that-reason the dam-liter
(the witness) permitted her to remain in
her house, even with the object enable
step-lather. This man did not like Geo.
Brawn. A word never parsed bervaeen
her and her step-lather in I‘dlflilon to the
killing of Brawn or the dispositnn of his
body. She had refrained": from saying
anything regarding the. deed. us Powell
had threatened henwith murder.
Mrs. Martha Miller saidx that. when she
returned from hospices of empoyment
in the city to her mother’s home in Dane
court sitar nor slate; had role her of the
scene, she inquired of her mother what
the matter was. Her storifatner,"who was
near, said not-hing for a moment, but then
exclaimed. “I have killed George, but
don’t you dare to give it‘ awav. Ii you
say a word I will kill you.” She was
frightened and sat down, and after that
. her habitual right of her father was in-
creased.
The court decided that Richard Powell
should stand Without ball. The witnesses
were held in the sum of $50, on their own
recognizance, to appear at the trial, to be
held in the supreme court of Middlesex
county the third Monday of October.

OLD MAN’S solemn.
Thomas Grimes Takes His Life by Inhal-
2113 Gas. -
PASSAIC, N. J , Sept. 33. — Thomas
Grimes, an 2.5?- . resident of Athenia,
near Passaic, N. J., committed suicide at
the Passaic. County Hotel by inhaling
gas. He was stopping at the hotel
temporarily, and owed a large bill. It is
believed his Old age and family troubles
drove him to the deed.
He retired to his team early. ' In the
morning a man named Quinn, occupying
a room adjoining his, heard him arise and
put the Windows down. He then turned
the gas on and threw himself names the
bed. He was found by the chambermaid
shortly before 10 o’clock. _
Grimes was once well-to-do. He in-
vented a patent process of maniacturing
.Wall . paper, and arranged a company
which, after a while, failed and left him
poor.
Some time ago Grimes’ daughter 'Was
assaulted by tramps at Athenia. She
became insane from the shock, and is
now in the asylum. It is believed this
affair also unsettled the father’s mind.

Mei-idem ofiicc. During their stay in

this city these two gentlemen have.
made many friends who will regret to
learn of their removal. Driver Smell-

in town and play cymbals regularly

Last night about 12 o’clock an alarm
of fire was sounded. The firemen re-
sponded promptly and it was soon
learned that a barn belonging to John
Hines, on the old \Voodward property,
was‘ burning. On arriving at the fire
it could easily be seen that no efi'orts of
the firemen could save the building, as
the fire was already beyond their con—
trol. Therefore they turned their
streams on the adjoining buildings. In
the building were harness, hay, and
other articles. rThey were all burned.
A cow was rescued. The barn is a to-
tal ruin. Mr. Hines estimates his loss
at between $400 and 9-500. There is an
insurance of {33175. The fire was of in.
ccndiury origin. ’
