A Father's Atrocious Crime.

NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 22-The community was startled to-day by the arrest of Horace Carlisle, a well known citizen and business man. His 18 year old daughter, Alzada, complained at the police station last night that her father would not let her remain in the house. Being questioned she reluctantly and with distress told a story of grievous wrong done her and the terrible crime of her father. The first assault was committed about three years ago, when her mother was absent from home. The father sent her to the attic on an errand and, following, threw her down and committed the assault. Since then he has repeatedly asked her to occupy a room with him, and because she refused has driven her from the house. Her mother also tried to induce her to occupy the same room with her husband and herself. The girl made a sworn statement and her mother corroborates her. Carlisle was arrested to-day and, on the plea of not guilty, was held for trial on Tuesday, no bail being allowed.
