Towards evening Mary locked up che

She then passed through the kitchen
and dining rooms to go up stairs 10 pre-
pare her toilet, but as she emerged into
the hallway, she met Craven, who had
entered the front door, looking 1t after
him. He then assaulted her,
and In his endesvoYs to draw her In the
parlor tore her clothing from her person.
Escaping from his grasp she rushed
from the room, but before she could un-
lock the front door, he had overtsksn
her and forced her into the parlor again.
Drawing o revolver, he pointed At her
and threatened, II she should cause
an alarm to blow her brains out.
Then he tried frat by persuasion, and
after that by threats to accomplish his
purpose, but she repelled him with
soOrn, and stated that she would

: Postm aster GenoraI Maynard.

Postmaster General Maynard is u
native Of Westboro, Mass, and it was not
until after his graduation at Amherst
and his marriage that he went to live
in Tennessee. The Boston Herald says
that during his frequent visits at his
old home he always went to the church
he had Joined in his youth, and always
attended the communion service. But
when the anti-slavery feeling grew
great at the North, the Westboro
church members passed a vote forbid
ding any one holding slaves to take
communion with them; and as Mr.
Maynard was the only STAKEHOLDER in
the congregation, he could have No
doubt at whom the vote was directed.
At a Westboro war meeting, however,
at the beginning fths Rebellion, Mr..
Maynard, in spite OF his being slave
holder, was invited TO speak and he
did so. He now owns the old West
boro farm house wherein he was born.

The POnca chiefs who recently OBJ
tanned permission to visit Washington have
held a council with Secretary Schurz in the
presence of the Ponca Commissioners lately
named by the President. The official report
of the council states that the Ponca chiefs
declared unanimously they desired to re-
main in the Indian Territory and to make
permanent homes there, to sell their
Dakota land and to acquire title to their
reservation in the Indian Territory; and
they were emphatic in declaring that they
wanted Mr.. Tibbles and other white men,
who had been trying to get them back to
Dakota and thus interfering with their
working and becoming prosperous, to let
them alone henceforth.
