A FEARFUL OUTRAGE.
Assault Upon a Lady by a Haokman.

Assault Upon Lady by Hickman.
The pleasant experiences Of Mrs. Smith In at
tending party, Wednesday night, will not soon
be forgotten by this estimable lady. 1t seems
that she recently left her home at the West for a
visit here, for the purpose of procuring from the
Government balance due her late husband. To
dull the edge Of sorrow, to mitigate the grief OF
WidOWhOod, Mrs. Smith took It into her head TO

Toward the small hours OF the morning he had

Sixteenth, between p and q streetE.
She obtained the services OF q "night-llner,"
by the name Of Wells, and all seemed we'll that
was about to end we'll, when Jehu sped his fiery
courseTs as she supposed, toward her residence:
but instead Of that he drove down Fifteenth and
COrcOrHn streets, and was soon imbedued in three
feet Of mud and unable to stir. He cracked his
whip, sWOTe at hiE innocent horses cursed his
luck and frightened poor Mrs. Smith out Of her

hours the evening before.

brought Otheers Brown and Smith upon the
scene. In the meantime Mrs. Smith had got out
OF the hack and had waded through the mud knee
her.
Very kindly, after RrrestInR Wells, she was
escorted by them TO her residence (ReY Mr.
HerTelIs) but no amount Of ringing, pounding
and hallOOing could rouse the divine from his
slumbers, and so the officer took the lady 10 his
own house, No. lll7 Fifteenth street, where his
good wife prepared her lodgings. MrE Smith

Fires IN Government Buildings.

There have been, since the recent fires at the
Navy Department and the one at the Winder
Building, many theories put forth as to the
causes, and great diversity OF opinion exists
thereon. A representative Of THE REPUBLICAN,
In conversation with gentleman who is heavy
purchaser OF waste paper from the Departments,
CLEANED the following facts relative 70 the origin
OF the fires: When the papers are brought to his
warehouse they are assorted, and in them numer-
Gus pieces OF meat, bread and bones are found,
which he attributes to the clerks, who, after eat.
ing their luncheons, throw the refuse into the
waste baskets. In addition he finds q large num-
Der OF parlor matches, which every person knows
baskets attract the rats AID mice, who in hunting
through the papers ignite tue matches, and be-
fore the discovery the papers are on Ere.
