FLEEING FROM SYRIA.
Prof. 4rbeuni, His Wife and Seren Children
Oppressed Beyond Endurance.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
The Rev. Mr.. Hassett, who has been mis-
sionary in Castle Garden for fourteen years,
is particularly interested just now in a family
of Christians from Beyrout, Syria, driven
from their home, they say, by the rigor of
the Turkish government and the bigotry of
their Mohammedan fellow citizens. They
arrived in the steamship Wyoming. Joseph
Aarad Arbenni is the head of the family.
His wife, daughter, and six sons are with
him. The father is entitled to the rank of
professor, seemingly, for he shows his ap
pointment as one of the faculty IN college
of Damascus. Two of his sons are physicians,
and have diplomas from the American
University at Beyrout. Another son is
shoemaker. The others were collegians
when their father decided to come to the
United States. They desire to be consider
ed the pioneers for the Christians of their
native land, who, they aver, are oppressed
beyond endurance by the Turks.

Times.
A maiden lady named Melissa Payne, over
10 years of age, living alone in the outskirts
OF this city, was the victim of brutal as
sault to-day. About noon large negro en-
tered her house and attempted to violate her
person. She fought him with all her
strength, and he, Selling her by the throat,
choked her until she was speechIess and
senseless. Fortunately, before he could ac-
complish his foul purpose he became alarmed
at some noise in the vicinity, and, fearing
detection, fled. Miss Payne lay unconscious
for several hours, but toward evening
gained sufficient strength to crawl
across the street on her hands and
knees and make known her terrible CON
dition. She cannot yet utter a loud word
and lies in an extremely critical condition.
from which her complete recovery is doubt
full. Steps were Immediately taken to secure
the arrest OF the negro, and it is thought
that they have been successful. Soon after
the commission of the assault negro an
swering the description given went to Rock
ford on the Freeport passenger train, where
he was arrested. Sheriff Covey brought
him here this evening, and he is now lodged
in Jail. 1t has not been deemed prudent to
shock Miss Payne by bringing the prisoner
into her presence. The shirt which he had
on was taken and shown her, however, and
she stated that it is exactly like the one her
assailapt had on. Several others
who have seen him around here
for several days thought he was the negro
who was seen going toward Miss Payne's
residence on yesterday forenoon. The shirt
which he had on had several spots of blood
upon it, which he had evidently tried to wash
out. little girl who saw him on yesterday
said he had a red ribbon tied in his vest
button-hole. just such ribbon was tied in
this mans vest He was greatly scared, and
in his ride from Rockford to this place he
several times told the sheriff that he was not
guilty, but would acknowledge that he did
the deed if the sheriff thought it would go
any easier with him. He can give an account
of his whereabouts from 1920 A. NJ, on yes
| terday until 1. He at first denied going
to Rockford on the train and said he rode
over in a wagon, but when confronted with
| the conductors evidence he weakened on
this point. Miss Payne is in terrible con-
dition. Her face and ears are one mass of
scars and Wounds her teeth were knocked
| down her throat her throat is swollen hor-
ribly, and she is otherwise most pitiable
object. Her house shows the marks of a
terrible struggle. Should the identity of the
prisoner be fixed beyond doubt it is within
the bounds of possibility that an indignant
populace will take the execution of justice
into their own hands. Mob law is freely
talked of, and leader seems to be all that is
needed to carry the threats into execution.
