MYSTERIOUS AND MuRpERoUS ASSAULT.
LAS, night, ut about half-past eight
o'clock, a young mar who had been
down at Mr.. Monot's house, on c street,
Virginia, to set up a stove, as he was
returning to his shop, met q man stag
geriug along the road u short distance
north Of the line of the lower Savage
works. At first, from the appearance
of the man, so far us he could be seen
in the dark, Mr.. George Allen the
Young man who discovered the unfortu-
nate victim of the evening-thought he
had come across n drunken person. But
he soou saw that such was not the case
that the man was bleeding aud con-
fused, and nearly unconscious from the
loss Of blood. Mr.. Allen went back
to Mr.. Mouot's house, and Mr..
Monot, taking with him a bull's-eye
lantern, went out with VIM. Allen to
the rescue. Mr.. Monot was unable to
recognize the man whom they met stag
gering along the road, on account of
his bloody appearance. But from his
coat Mr.. Monot recognized o. S. Car
Vile, Superintendent of the Ogden Mill.
Mr.. Carville was taken to Mr.. Monot's
room on c street, and Dr.. Bry-
arly was ut once sent for. On
examination, it was found that
Mr.. Carville had received n severe
and long cut on the left side ofthe back
Of his head, and also received terrible
MASKING blows on the left side of his
forehead and on his nose. He had bled
very profusely. The collar Of his blan-
ket overcoat is of fur, and that collar
and his vest and coat were literally sat-
urated with blood. The spectacle was
horrible TO behold. He must have been
injured some considerable time before
he was found, as the blood on his shirt
and the lower part Of his vest had dried
and crusted, while he was still bleeding.
Had he not been \ very powerful
man, he must have tainted and fallen
long before he was found. After
his wounds had been dressed, he
began to regain his consciousness
so as to speak clearly, and recognize
readily. II was some time after he was
found before Mr.. Monot could secure q
recognition from him. But up to this
time Mr.. Carville is wholly unable to
tell how il was that he was injured. At
first he gave confused statements rs to
how he was riding when he received the
injuries sustained, saying at first that
he was on horseback, that he was 60
ing from or to the Gould & Curry office,
that he was going to the Chollar office,
etc, IL was now known that he was
riding in a buggy when he was assault
ed. Early this morning, Mr.. Monot
went out to look for evidences Of the
place where the assault was made. After
long walks in various directions, he
discovered Mr.. Carville's hat by the side
Of the road, q short distance north OF
the tunnel, on Tunnel Road between this
town and Virginia. To-day, this after
noon. NJ. Carville's two horses turned
up all right in this town, and his
buggy was found Immediately this side
(south) of the tunnel. The horses had
evidently been carefully unhitched from
the buggy. The buggy was uninjured
with the exception Of the dashboard
being bent forward a little. There was
blood on the dashboard, and on the
buggy pole near the whipple.trees; aud
there was also blood on the handle Of
the whip. The horses had not only
been carefully unbitched, but they had
been separated from each other-llnes
drawn through and neatly tied. This
