A well known and wealthy married
man of Philadelphia named John L.
Hates, was before a magistrate Tuesday,
charged with fendiSh assault on a Miss
Pemherton. 1t appears that Hates
sednced her when she was about fifteen
years old, and she claims that he has
held her in a life of semi-slavery ever
since. Recently she attended a picnic
without his permission, and when she
returned he charged her with infdelity,
knocked her down, beat her in a brutal
manner, and then tore all the clothes off
her person, and, after pouring burning
fluid over her, set fire TO her and en-
deavored to burn her alive. The inter
ference of some of the people of the
house prevented the consummation of
his design. On Friday evening last he
whipped her in a brutal manner, and
swore that he would disfigure her so that
| she would never be able to go ont.
| Great efforts were made by interested
/ parties to keep the details of the affair
from the public. Hates was held in 3d.
200 bail fer his appearance at Court.
The bloody feud in Illinois is called

CURED in 1864 or '65.
It has lasted with intervals ever since,
but has ragged most fercely during the
last two years. 1t now appears that in
less than two weeks six people have been
killed, four have been seriously injured,
and three have been shot at without
killing them. About twenty persons,
Eamong them a newspaper editor, a
States attorney and several prominent
business men, have been compelled To
flee for their lives out of the country
either owing TO actual attacks or letters
of warning received by them. Some ot
the victims have been shot because they
were supposed to know too much and
some because they commented upon the
ontrages. All the assissinatiOns were
conducted in the most cowardly manner
some have been shot from ambuRcadei
along the public roads and through win
; dows, and others having suddenly beer
called up from their beds in the dark
ness and shot before they could defend
= themselves.

preferable for this fund 10 revert to the
heirs of the generous donor than to lie dor

swer. Then we will suggest use this fund
for the purpose for which it is legtimately
intended; if not, let the heirs Of Julien foy-
dras institute legal action to have the dona-
ton revert to themselves.
We propose in our next issue to give q
full and statistical detail of this important
fund from the pen of one we'll qualified to
do so. And we will here assert that this
journal will not cease to agitate this matter
until more satisfactory disposition Is made
