Special to the sentinel:
FREELASD, H., April 14.-On Saturday night
Charles L. Swimford, who for some time past
has been engaged in teaching school in the
Fitz William district, about four miles from

Lewis Brown, who charges Swimford with
having attempted to outrage his daughter,
who was attending his school. The girl, who
Is about u years of age, came home on Friday
evening about $50, and informed her parents
that Swimford went to her desk, telling her to
remain a short time after school, as ne wished
to speak to her regarding her studies. She re-
mained after school closed. and after the rest
of the scholars had lett the neighborhood of
the school house, he allied her to his desk,
and commenced to talk with her about her
studies, when suddenly he caught hold Of her,
making base proposals, at the same time at
tempting to throw her upon the floor. Tho
glrl, struggled In the grasp of the vii
g han, who attempted to violate her
person. She fortunately succeeded in getting
10 her feet, when she ran from the school
: house, until she met one of the neighbors, who
was going to her house. She jumped into his
wagon, and after arriving home she told her
mother. Swimford is married man, but his
wife and child are living, 1t is said, at Evans-
vile, Ind. He has been engaged in teaching
school here for about year.

Supreme Court Decisions,

WASHINGTON, April H.-No. 2o3. Wheeling
Parkersburg and Cincinnati Transportation
company, plaintiff in error, VS.. the city of
Wheeling. In error to the Supreme Court,
appeals of the State of West Virginia. This is
an action for the recovery of taxes paid under
protest by the plaintiff in error, to the city Of
Wheeling, upon four steamboats, owned by it
and plying on the Ohio river between Wheel
ing and Cincinnati. The plaintiff in error de-
MED the right o. the State to impose taxes
upon such vessels, and argued that such taxa
ton was not in violation of the constitutional
provision that mo State shall levy any duty of
tonnage" This court holds that the taxes
levied under this case are otduties of tonnage
within the meaning of the constitution, and
that the enrolment of a ship or vessel under
the laws of the United States does not exempt
Its owner from taxation thereon as personal
property. The judgment of the lower court is
affirmed, with costs.
