The Gazette gives the following addl-
tional particulars of the arrest of a negro
in Davenport, suspected Of committing the
outrage in that city:
Last evening officers Falkner and Mar
tens arrested colored man named stephen
Parish, whom the police had been hunting
for all day-on suspicion that he was the
guilty party. Parish was found at his
brothers house, on Second street, between
Warren aud Vine. When the officers had
him on the street, a crowd of men and
women gathered about them, and there
were loud cries of hang him, hang
himP' Some of the women ran into houses
and came back with clothes lines, which
were brandished. The crowd increased
with every block, and by the.time the jail
was reached, it numbered fully three hun
| dred persons. The officers had hard work
to keep the men off their prisoner, and he
was happy man when they shot through
the panel door of the Jail and locked it.
He declared his innocence, and said that
he could prove it easily enough. HE was
discharged from the Keat0r House, Mo
line, last Saturday, and was in Davenport
all day Monday, went into Illinois yester-
| day, StalU tEGES jill u6yf duu ACAUl hSo iOS'
night.
There is 10 doubt the girl was outraged
but she thinks she would be unable to
identity the scoundrel who abused her, be-
cause she was so nervous and scared all
the time he was with her.
There seem to be some doubt about this
affair being SO much of an outrage as is
supposed. The Democrat os last evening
questions it as follows:
This morning Chief Kessler made a
careful investigation into the case. This
Investigation resulted in developing a diff
ferent story. It was learned that the CIR
left the dance at twelve o'clock to 90 home
alone. Near Washington Park a man who
she says was negro accosted her and
walked with her all the way home. When
| they reached the street near her father s
house they sat down upon the sidewalk
and exchanged afectionate salutations, and
there at his solicitation they crept into a
shed near by, and there the outrage
was committed. There was no rape about
it; though it is likely the girl was not to
blame. The girl is only y yeart of age;
she should never have been allowed to
travel the streets at night alone. 1t is
quite possible that her assilant was not a
negro at all, but some young man who
had followed her from the dance hall.

The Largest Raft Ever Afoat


The business Of rafting of late years
has become one of the most important on
the river and the methods OF handling the
product of tue northern pineries has great
ly improved over the time when it took
thirty or forty men three and four weeks
to bring "a raft to market. Probably the
largest raft that ever came down the Mis-
sissippi has just been brought down by
the steamer Ben Hershey, uDder the com
maDd of Capt. S. Buison. The raft was
$50 feet long and $40 feet wide. 1t was
necessary to divide it into three pieces in
order to pass the several bridges between
here and Winona. 1t consisted OF IS
strings of logs fastened together with
brails. It requires considerable skill with
good boat to handle raft of this size,
however, the Ben Hershey with such an
experienced pilot as Albert Withrow and
chief engineer Spencer Barnett, brought
it successfully past the city. We learn
that the raft was for MIR. Hershey, of Mus
eatine, Iowa
