at his insulting addresses. Find
ing that she would not reply, he
followed up his rude advances by
crowding into the seat alongside
her, despite her protest that she
was fatigued and preferred to ride
alone. At this juncture, Captain
Slocum, who had been quietly OBJ
serving the fellow, approached
and invited the lady to his seat,
which she gratefully accepted.
The Captain proposed furnishing
the fellow at once, but upon some
protests being made by the passen.
gers, he resumed his seat. AT Al.
toona station the young lady's
insulter stepped from the train,
and ns he reached the platform he
was confronted by the Captain,
man physically inferior apparently.
With the remark that he had a
wife and sister who might be trav-
cling alone and subject to the in
suits of such man, the Captain
dealt him a powerful blow in the
face, Telling him to the platform
and cutting him badly below the
left eye. The passengers inquired
excitedly the cause of the assault,
and the captain briefly explained
that he was resenting an insult to
a young lady travelling alone and
unprotected. The stranger rose
quickly, and while in the act of
drawing n pistol, was struck again
I'd knocked to the ground, and
upon rising received several more
blows in the face. An officer final.
ly interfered, but upon learning
the cause of the attack made no
attempt to arrest the assailant, and
the general verdict was, "served
him right" The man was severely
injured and his face shockingly
disfgured. The young lady was
placed under the charge of the con-
ductOr, who promised to have her
transferred to the care of the con-
ductors in each subsequent section
until reaching New York.-Balti-

AN UNPROTECTED WOMAN.
A Californian on the Railroad Resents and
Avenges an Insult to Her.

The following description of how
a California sea captain resented
an insult offered to young lady,
will cause thrill of joy to shoot
athwar' the hearts of old '49ers:
gentleman who arrived in
Baltimore last evening from Cali
fornia, gave a reporter of the Ga
sette the part culars of an exciting
episode which occurred at Altoona,
Pa, on Monday evening, in which
San Francisco sea captain figured
as the hero in resenting gross In.
suit offered by "a passenger to a
young lady traveller. The latter
was Miss McGee, of Chicago, pre-
possessing girl of II, who
took passage on the Atlantic
express train at Chicago on
Sunday evening. She was accom-
panied on board by brother and
sister, from whom she affectionate-
ly parted, and entered alone on
her long journey to England via
New York. Messages of love were
sent by the brother and sister to
their parents abroad, and the fare
well was such touching scene as
to excite the sympathies of many
of the passengers. Miss McGee Sc
cured an unoccupied seat, and her
modest department and beauty at.
tracted general attention. When
the train reached Pittsburg a
coarse, brutal looking man got on
board, and after 1t had gone a few
miles he approached the seat Of
Miss MeGee, and occupying the
one Immediately behind her, at
tempted to engage her in conver-
sation, but received no reply to
Dis questions, and, as he persisted
them, she appeared deeply NOR
fled, and her face flushed scarlet

O'Clock yesterday afternoon hood

companions, assaulted a Chinaman
near the corner of Thirteenth and

This was noticed by the daughter

siding near by, who called the at
tention of her two brothers, Ed.
ward and Alfred, to the difficulty.
The two young men went out to
quell the disturbance and Alfred
came to blows with Merkle. The
latter was worsted In the encoun-
ter, and, withdrawing few steps,
drew pistol. MerkIe and Alfred
exchanged shots, when Edward,
seeing Merkle about to fire another
shot at his brother, also drew a
pistol and advanced on Merkle.
The latter turned his weapon on
Edward, when both firod siniulta
neously, and Merkle fell, shot
through the head. One of Mer-

VIRGINIA CITY, Oct. 1st.-Ex-
perls who visited the Sierra Me-

same story. The ore in the face of
the vein at the foot of the incline
is richer than at the end of the 12-
foot drift on the 2100 foot level. 1t
il richer than any ever before
found on the Comstock. In Ophir
u crosscut from the 2l00-foot level
has discovered good ore at point
fifteen or at least twelve feet west
of where 1t was expected.
Patton, who was arrested yester.
day for refusing John Kelly admis-
sion to the Ophir mine, will be
tried at ii o'clock to-day. Much
interest is felt. Kelly claims that
the whole thing was piece of
epite- work in retaliation for his

inquirng in what way Russia pro-
posed to reconcile General Stalie-
tet's mission to Cabul with its
previous engagements by which
Russia agreed to renounce all po-
litical influence in Afghanis-
tan. The reply was to the effect
that Russia has always been dis
posed to respect existing engage
ments, and that the mission of
General Stalieteff, although decid-
ed upon at the time and under cir.
cumstances which now no longer
existed, was merely intended as an
act of courtesy to the Ameer of AT

der his lower jaw and the arched end
across his nose while you hold him still
with the tongs you hold the pincers so
that one point of the loop is just behind
the animals snout, and the other as low
on the nose as possible. Press the pin
GERS suddenly and firmly, and the loop
bends, the points pierce the snout and
meets inside; then remove the pincers,
and you will see that your hog has
Triangular ring In his nose. Then
whenever he tries to- root, this ring
causes his nose to slide along the top of
the ground you could turn him loose
in field of newly planted corn, and he
couldn't get grain"
" But it's cruel thing to do,' said ],
1t must hurt the poor brute dread
fully"
Scarcely bit,'' said he; " the snout
of hog is mostly cartilage, you know.
The wound will heal almost instantly"
/ took my ringing appliances home
and five minutes after / entered the
yard in the morning the two shoats were
admiring Tor coveting) the ornaments
in each others noses. With the pa
triarch i did not succeed 80 easily.
Whether he had conscientious scruples
against the use of jewelry, or whether
he had peculiar ideas on the subject Of
personal liberty, do not know, but
certain it is that just as gripped him
with the tongs he gave his head a vigor-
GUS twitch which threw me into posi-
tion in which L could have rooted with
ease had Providence endowed me with
u nose of porcine peculiarity. Calling
neighbor to my assistance, however,
and warning him to use both hands
upon the tongs, the patriarch was speedi-
ly ornamented like his friends. He re-
tired to corner for contemplation, and
then, apparently realizing that time was
precious, put his nose to the ground and
attempted to root. He soon found that
he could not thrust forth his snout in
in the usual manner, and for moment
or two his futile endeavors to see what
prevented him, gave me my first i'm
preston of cross-eyed hog with four
legs). Suddenly the truth flashed upon
him that 1 was in some way responsible
for the inconsequent manner in which
his nose rambled over the ground; the
sad, reproachful look he gave me then
shall not forget to my dying day.
But that very day that hog of mine,
that lean, capacious, loose-skinned hog,
began to gain in flesh. Deprived of his
customary exercise, and knowing no
other, he devoted his entire attention to
eating and sleeping. And now you have
my story about THAT Hoe OF MINE.
