A MONSTER IN THE TOLLS.

CINCINNATI. July 20.-David Evans car
penJer on the steamer General Buell. was
arrested to-day charged with committing,
or attempting to rape three little girls, aged
from ten TO twelve years. The girls identi-
fled him to-day after his arrest. The details
as related by the children are OF the most
shocking nature. They say he lured them
into a lumber yard where he violated the
person of the Oldest, while he held the other
two by their dresses to prevent their escape
and then with knife in his hand threaten
ed to kill them IT they revealed anything.
The act is said to have occurred three weeks
ago, and only came to light by the mother of
the violated child discovering one night by
accident the lacerated parts. The matter
has been ia the hands of the authorities sew
eral days and was kept quiet until the arrest
could be made. Evans resides here. has an
estimable family aud his friends are greatly
surprised at the revelation.
