dealt him q powerful blow in

form and cutting him badly be-

inquired excitedly the cause Of
the assault, and the captain
briefly explained that he was
resenting an insult to q young
lady travelling alone and unpro-

An Unprotected Woman.

A gentleman who arrived in
Baltimore last evening from
California gave reporter of the
Gazette the particulars of an ex-
citing episode which occurred at
Altoona, Pa, on Monday even
ing, in which a San Francisco
sea captain figured as the hero
in resenting a gross insult offer
ed by a passenger to a young
lady traveller. The latter was
Miss McGee of Chicago, a pre-
possessing girl of II, who took
passage on the Atlantic express
train at Chicago on Sunday
evening. She was accompanied
on board by.a brother and sister,
from whom she atfectionately
parted, end 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 farewell was such a
touching scene as to excite the
sympathies of many of the pas
sengers. Miss McGee secured an
unoccupied seat, and her modest
department and beauty attracted
general attention. When the
train reached Pittsburg a coarse,
brutal-looking man got on board
and after it had gone a few
miles he approached the seat of
Miss McGee, and occupying the
one Immediately behind her, at
tempted to engage her in con-
versation, but received no reply
TO his questions, and as he per-
sisted in them, she appeared
deeply mortified, and her face
flushed scarlet at his insulting
addresses. Finding that she
would not reply, he followed up
his rude advances by crowding
into the seat alongside of her,
despite her protest that she was
fatigued and preferred to ride
alone. At this juncture, Captain
Slocum, who had been quietly
observing the fellow, approach
edand invited the lady to his seat,
which she gratefully accepted.
The Captain proposed punlshing
the fellow at once, but upon
some protests being made by
the passengers, he resumed his
seat. At Altoona station the
young lady's insulter stepped
from the train, and as he reached
the platform he was confronted
by the Captain, q man physical

A comparison of ancient re-
cords with modern observations
tends to show that diphtheria is
an old disease with a new name.
It made great havoc in New
England, especially in New
Hampshire and Maine, and three
different epochs 1858, 1886 and
1882. The disease seems to have
spread slowly from its first cen
tres of outbreak in the attack of
1858, taking four months to
reach Boston, and two years to
arrive at the banks Of the Hud-
son river.
