very careless manner, and caused no little de-
lay to trains in all directions. The Boston &

serious damage done by the accident.

AN OUTRAGE
A WOMAN ASSAULTED AND
OUTRAGED BY A TRAMP

On Tuesday afternoon, says the
Smyrna Times, a strange man came
to the residence of Geo. Ennie, on
Chas. a. Dublin's farm neal Blackis-
tons Cross Roads, west Of this town,
and asked Miss Smith the housekeep- :
er where the men folk were. She told
him sin the field" About this time the
hail storm came on and he went away.
Mr.. Ennis and .his hands soon came
in to avoid the storm. They returned
however to the field when II cleared
and the strange man Came back as
soon as they were out Of sight and
seized Miss Smith in the house evil
dently with criminal intent. She re-
sisted, and in the struggle her clothing
was nearly all torn of her person by
the man. Finally, however, the man
overpowered her and after the out
rage threatened to kill her if she at
tempted to leave the house and give
any alarm. He lleft before time for
the hands to come in to supper, and
nothing has been seen or heard of
him since, though Mr.. Ennis and the
neighbOrs went in pursuit.
Miss Smith is a young lady, who
keeps house for Mr.. e. and her
brother works for him ON the farm.
The affair has greatly excited the
neighborbood. We learn the facts
from MIR. Finn, a neighbor. Mr. Ennis
lives about 81 miles from town, on the
Millington road. Mr.. Dulin informs
us that the fellow knocked Miss Smith
down three times before he could stun
her sufficiently as to render her pow
erless. She was badly bruised by the
blows she received which caused pro-
fuse bleeding.

THE INCENDIARY TORCH
BURNING OF STABLE, HORSE AND OTHER
ARTICLES,

BURNING OF A STABLE, HORSE AND OTHER
ARTICLES.
Last evening, shortly before II o'clock,
an alarm of fire was sounded by the City
Hall bell, which proved to be the burn
ing of a frame stable, situated in Millners
Court, just in the rear of the building
No. II Z. Front street.
The stable was one story high, built OF
frame, and was owned by =. Plunkett
& Co.. liquor dealers, No. 106 Market
street.
At the time of the fire the stable con-
tanned a roam mare valued at 500; one
express wagon valued at $125; set of
harness, lot of feed, and several other ar
ticles which were burned, together with
a pet scoth terrier dog which the firm
valued very highly. The fire burned very
fiercely for few minutes, and hut for
the fire companies, which were quickly
on hand, would have resulted in a serious
contiagration, as several of the bulldlngs
within few feet of the fire are frame
structures; as it was two or three OF them
were very badly scorched.
The fire, beyond doubt. was the work
of an incendiary, as Peter E. Coyne, who
the stable shortly after 8 O'Clock, and
found everything all right. 1t is said by
those living near the burned building
that the first intimation of the fire, was
given by the little dog, whose howhngs
from pain could be heard over a square.
The property and contents IN the
building were fully insured in the New
Castle Mutual Insurance Company. This
is the second time that the Messrs. PUN :
ketts have had the stable barnee each
time losing horse.
