white girl, This morning tho news was
flashed over the city that another outrage
had been attempted upon white woman by
u negro, Many OF our citizens became en-
ragged, and upon investigation the following
facts were obtained This morning between
three and four o'clock, black demon In hu-
man form, effected his entrance through the
window, by the use Of knife, INTO the prl-
yate bedroom Of one of the most honored,
beloved and respected ladies Of this
place. On account Of the high stand
Ing of the lady and nj the
request Of many friends we withhold her
name, She Is the head Of one Of the first
families Of the city, and Is ut the advanced
age of eighty-hyo years, Attor entering
and while moving about the room he made
sufficient noise 10 awaken the old lady, who
began screaming, when the intruder hastened
TO tho bed, put his hand over her mouth and
erked her out of tho bed. lluung the
scuilie his hand slipped from over her
m nth, and by a loud scream she aroused tho
servant girl, who ran into the adjoining room
TO awaken the gentleman Of the house, who
Immediately appeared in tho room in time
10 SEQ the villain leave the house,
This morning one John Murphy was arrested
apon the description given by the old lady,
but no produ ed sufficient evidence of
his innocence TO warrant his release,

bend the guilty party, the ceremony prepar-
atory to his departure from this mundane
sphere will be very brief indeed. This kind
OF business is getting too monotonoGs in our
