In DIsTREss.-It will be remembered
that the New York dispatches of Saturday said
woman hailing from Bucksport, Me-, was
found in the streets of that city: The Sun says !:
On last Saturday night as officer McCallom of
the fourth police, Williamsburgh, was patroll-
ing Broadway, he met woman wandering
aimlessly, and in seeming distress. She told
the officer that her name was Cushman and
that she left Bangor, Me-, recently at the sug-
gestion of her cousin, Thomas S. Carter of
Brooklyn, who had written to her that he could
secure for her an engagement as singer in
church choir. She averred that she was robbed
in Boston of purse which contained the check
for her trunk, and Mr.. Carter's address. She
was furnished enough money by charitable per-
sons to reach Brooklyn, and she had searched
in vain for her friend. The railroad company
refused to give up her trlnk without check
and she was left destitute.
Officer McCallom took her to his home at 60
Taylor street, for protection, and has been seek
ing 7. S. Garter ever since He has thus far
failed to find Mr.. Carter.

troduced into every house; which may be practced
at all seasons in all kinds of weather, by persons of
both sexes, all ages, and degrees of strength or
weakness, alone or in company. No one can say too
much in praise of it, and no one can afford to do
without it. All who Investigate thoroughly, use it,
and consider it invaluable and Indispensable. 1t is
the safest, simplest, cheapest and most efficient
medicine discovered. No claim is set up tor it
which is unscientific or impracticable.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
y FIRING on THE EMPEROR or GEN
lL1NY WHILE OUT DRIFTING.

The a ssasSin Arrestod--IIe is q Social
Is, nnI Tolls Thin Story About the
Shooting.
On tho llth inst. us the Emperor
Of Germany was hiding in his couch
through ono Of the public thorough~ ;
fares, throe shots from pistol were
fired at him, mono of which took
effect. The would bo assassin was
detected, and arrested. A man
named Kruger who attempted to
prevent his arrest WAS soiZal also.
The greatest excitement prevailed.
and the people hockcd en mussc to
offer their congratulations to
* iser Wilhelm. The miscrcmt
was Il tailor named Hoedcl. At
the official examination Of uocdel,
tic prisoner stated that he WAS Il
ndtivo of L3ipsic and born in 1857.
tlo denied That he 1irol at the
Emperor. He affirmed that he WAS
without work AMI ilton led 10 shoot
himself publicly to show the rich
the present con lition Of tao people,
He stated that hc sno5 once at
hmsolf and could not account for
the othor three shots which were
wanting in the chamber of his
revolver. Ie thought ho might
have discharged them in absence of
mind. His story is, Of course, not
believed, The prisoner was in
possession Of several socialistic and
democratic writings, tickets of
membership Of several Berlin social
lst'c unions and likenesses of two
socialisticsalenGcfs. He declared
that he belonged to no party, but
w;,s IN anarchist, the enemy of all

lion CT society and public instit,l =
tlons. 1t further resulted from the
investigation that Hoedel formerly
held sociallstic meetings near
Leipsic. The other prisoner,
Kruger, appears to be innocent,
and it is reported that ho has been
liberated. He WAS arrested because
he ondeavored to protect Hocdel
against the assaults Of the excited
crowd. kilograms congratulating

grat'llate him. Among the many
teicgrams congratulating tho EN-
pcror William upon his escape from

has made an especially favorable
impression.
