A RaSca.liv Attenpt.

1t is reported that on the excursion of the
Express, Tuesday evening, young man be-
came angry with young woman and attempt
ed to throw her overheard. The girls screams
brought the other passengers to the rescue who
seized the fellow and kept him in charge until
after the boat had reached port and the girl
had had time to get out of his way, when he
also was released. 1t seems strange, if the af-
fair took place, that the fellow was not handed
over to the police as he should have been. 1t
is reported he went off swearing vengeance
against both his detainers and the girl.

millions of dollars; now stop the interest on
that debt and in short time your harbors will
