A HOTEL OUTRAGE.
How Lady was ChlorOfOrmed and Robbed
In the fremont House, Boston.
Condensed from Boston Papers. ]

Condensed from Boston Papers.l
A most daring and brutal robbery
was committed at the fremont House
in this city the other day. The rob
berry has just come to light. On the
afternoon of the 18th inst, New York
lady arrived over the Bocton and Al
bany line. She had been visiting near
the city. At the depot a gentleman
acquaintance met her by appointment
and paid over $3.50. The lady counted
the money over, and while doing so
noticed that she was being scrutinized
by man of genteel looks. She took
cab to the fremont House and short
ly after going to her room saw the
same man on the opposite side Of the
street. This mysterious person gazeG
at her through an opera glass at the
Boston Theater, where she had gone
that same evening to witness a per-
formance of "The Exiles. " Her es-
cort's attention was called to the man.
The lady went to her room about half
past II o'clock, the stranger being in
her thoughts. She took the precau-
tion Of hiding her roll of notes in the
bottom of her trunk and secreting the
key. Shortly after 2 o clock she was
awakened by the presence ofa man who
stood by her bedside. She tried to
scream, but the man caught her by
throat, sat down on her stomach so
! that her breath was taken. and bound
a handkerchief across her face. The
handkerchief was chloroformed.
When the call-boy went to the room
about z o clock, the hour at which the
lady wished to be called, he was met
by a strange sight. The lady was
prone upon the bed, which was in great
disorder. The handkerchief was still
over her face, which was covered with
blood. The lady appeared to be re-
gaining consciousness. The contents
of the trunk were scattered over the
floor. Medical aid was summoned and
the lady is now doing well, though her
bruised body leads to the belief on the
part of the physicians that a crime
more horrible than robbery was com
mitted. The money was gone from
the trunk. The robber, who had
priced open the door of the room with
a jimmy, bad left nothing behind to
tell tales except the fact that the lady
| still recalls the appearance of the mys-
terious stranger. Her husband, a gen
tleman Of high standing in New York,
is on, and the police are hard at work
for clues,

Chicago Times,i
A few days ago, during one of his
rounds through his palatial hotel, the
landlord of the Palmer House entered
a room suddenly and discovered win
dow washer leisuFely lyengaged threading
a newspaper. Being yeIy active him
self he had no use for lazy maa, or
one who sights his work. He dis
charged the washer on the spot and
ordered him to go TO tbe Office for his
pay. The man Obeyed, got bis money,
went to his room on the upper floor,
arrayed himself in his Sunday suit,
packed up his duds and descended to
the servants apartment to take leave
of his former associates. About this
time Mr.. Palmer entered but did not
recognize his Quondam employe in bis
store clothes. Here, my man, you
look as though there was good work in
you; do you want jOb2 Fhe ex-
washer, somewhat surprised, admitted
that he stood in need of one. Can
you wash windows?" The man al
lowed he could. We'll" said Mr.
Palmer, I've just discharged man
who has been doing that sort of work.
l paid him only tweaty dollars amOnth,
but if you take the place and go right
to work I'll pay you twenty-five" The
proposition was quietly accepted, and
in half an hour the discharged employe
was sCrubbipg away in the same old
room.

now being completed under the di-
rectiOn of the Adjutant General of
the army. General Wright has
proved very efficient in this under
taking, and has already secured many
papers of great historical value.
Among them are nearly all the tele-
graphic copy-books of the Confederate
commanders during the first year of
the war; also the Order-books of the
Adjutant Generals Department. Gen.
Wright has also arranged with JEFF
fersOn Davis to make copies of such
official and private papers as he may
have in his possession, many of which
relate directly to the plans and inten-
tions of the Confederate leaders, and
disclose, toe great degree, the CORE
spondence of the President of the
Confederacy. Much of this matter
will be contained in couple of vol
umes of memoirs which Jefferson
Davis has prepared, and which were to
have been given to the publisher be-
fore now, but were delayed by the ill
ness of his son, who died of yellow
fever in September last. Mr.. Davis
autobiography will be published 81
multaneously in New York and Lon
don.

Gold in Circulation.

Washington Special Cincinnati Commercial
For the first time in seventeen
years gold came into general ciroula-
ton here to-day. The banks paid it
out on checks the same as currency,
customers takingit without a murmur
in most instances. Travellers, and
those expecting to leave the city i'm
mediately, objected to gold and called
for currency. Bankers here are of
opinion that as soon as the novelty
wears off that currency will be alto
gether the most popular money. A
tour of business houses showed that
many of them had taken in more gold
than paper.
At the treasury department to-day
creditors having coin obligations in
many instances called for legal-tonder
notes. Some treasury officials predict
that gold will be a drug in the market
within sixty days.

The funeral cortege which formed
outside the house was very imposing.
An immense crowd collected in the
street and stood in respectful silence
until the procession moved away The
hearse was followed by che emperor's,
the empress and the crown princes

vehicles was drawn by six horses, mag
ni6cently arrayed, with out-riders,

to sick headache, that infallible symptom Of
disordered stomach, liver and bowels.
Many suffer from it as many as three or fsur
times a week. They do so needlessly, for
Hostetter's Stomach BitteTs, by toning the
digestive organs and regulating the bowels
and liver, removes the cause, and dispels the
painful symptom. The intimate sympathy
between the brain and the abdominal region
causes the slightest disorder affecting the lat
ter to be reflected, as it were, in the organ Of
thought. The reform instituted by the Bitters
when the digestive, secretiVe and eyacuative
functions are in state of chaos, has other
and more beneficial results, viz the complete
nutrition Of the whole physical economy, the
restoration Of appetite and repose, and an
increase in the power of the system 70 resist

THE LEE LINE
OF Memphis and Friar's Point Steamers
1.-Two Excellent and AccOmmO-
dating Boats.
Helena Graphic. psesmber ath.l

Helena Graphic, DecembeS 27th.l
The public find by long experience
that the Lee Line of Memphis and
Friar's Point steamers are all that one
could wish. Two excellent boats are
maintained summer and winter, and
so punctual are they, and obliging and
solicitious are the officers, that Mem
phis is at ones door as it were. If a
shade of zephyr is wanted, or yard
Of goods, or little article that re-
quires a little more attention to pro
cure than could be accomplished by a
letter, the clerk of the Cheek or
Coahoma is selected to attend to it,
and we have yet to hear of a case
where they have refused such favors.
Again, when Helenian arrives at
Memphis out of funds and anxious to
get home, if he is a man of any stand
ing, he steps ON board one of these
steamers and registers as boldly as if
ne were bigger man that old Grant,
well knowing " it's all right" Ere
quently the boats accommodate her
customers to the extent of cashing
drafts to pay other expenses. A lady
can go on one of the steamers to Mem
phis shopping or visiting as safely as
if escorted by her nearest male rela-
tive. With all this, the steamers Of
this line give excellent table fare,
good, clean beds, swift passage, and
charge very moderately We take
pleasure in calling attention to the
above facts, for we find there are toe
many who patronize outside boats
even on a single shipment, if a few
cents can be made thereby.

SOMERSET, OHIO.
A Church Wrangle---The City Marshal
Called in to Direct Services.

CINCINNATI, December 3O.-Quite
adisturbance occurred at the Lutheran
church at Somerset Ohio, yesterday
morning, upon an attempt being made
to hold services in the same.
About two-thirds of the congre-
cation had, sometime ago, with
drawn from the church, not liking
the preacher. Yesterday they at
tempted to take possession and hold
services, ignoring the preacher. The
city marshal was called in and the in
truders elected. In Che afternoon the
elected party again entered and held
services unmolested. Both parties
will appeal to the law.

pEArH OF MAJOR w1NCHEsrER.

The many friends Of Major George
W. Winchester in this community
and throughout the State will be sur
prised and deeply panied to hear Of
his death, which occurred at his resi-
dence in this city at l o'clock this
morning. He was a gentleman of
high culture, liberal views and re-
markably genial and pleasant disposi-
ton. In the social circle his easy,
charming manners made him hosts Of
friends; at the bar he stood in the
front rank, and he was held in
high esteem by all classes. Major
Winchester was born on the 14th Of
May, 1922, at Cragfont, Sumner coun-
ty, Tenn, the country seat Of his faith
er. He entered the sophomore class
in the University of Nashville in 1887,
and was graduated in October 1910,
read law in the Office of Hon. j. G..
Guild, of Gallatin, and was admitted
to the bar in two years, but having a
taste for historical and miscellaneous
reading, did not enter upon the prac-
tice of his profession until the autumn
of 1847. He was elected to the legis-
lature of 49, "a, but declined re-elec-
tion, and adhered to the law
until the beginning of the war.
In the spring of 1862, although
he had large family, he
made his way to Tupelo, Miss, and
Joined the ranks of the Confederate
army, but was soon assigned to the
position of quartermaster of Donel-
sons brigade. In the spring of 1863
he was transferred to the staff Of his
old friend General W. B. Bate who
soon after succeeded to the command
of Breckinridge's division, and was
assigned to the position of assistant
adjutant general. After participating
in several great battles he was taken
prisoner at Missionary Ridge and car
ried to Johnson's Island, where he was
held until the end of the war. Major
Winchester resumed the practice Of
law in Memphis in 1865 and lived
here continuously until his death
he was pure man, usefuI
citizen, and one whose death will be
universally regretted. He was sick {
month, dating from the day he actec
as pall-bearer at Colonel Leath'
funeral, and endured his suffering
with great fortitude and Christian res
ignation.
