A YOUNG ORPHAN GIRL OUTRAGE
ED BY A BRUTAL NEGRO.
EAST WASHINGTON TIE SCENE OF
LHE GRIM E-AN ATTEMPT
MADE TO LYNCH THE BRUTE
THE LATTER SAVED BY BEING
TAKEN TO ANOTHER STATION.
The comparative lull in the COM
mission of diabolical deeds for
which this city has unfortunately
become somewhat notorious, no.
ticed more especially since the
Hirth murder, was broken Friday
night by the preparation of a
most infamous and nameless out
rage in the northeastern section
of the city, the victim being a
young white orphan girl OF excel
lent character and reputation. The
first Information received by the
police of the affair was conveyed
to them Saturday morning, to the
effect that the young lady In ques-
ton, Mas Leua Leins, while pro-
ceeding from the home of her I'M
Gle and adopted father, Mr.. Henry
Koones, No. Ills ID street north
east, to st. Joseph's church, on
Second, near G streets northeast,
was waylaid by negro brute,
who felled her with a stone, and
dragging her into a lot on the
south side of ID street, between
Seventh and Eighth streets, de-
tanned her for an hour and a half,
the unconcious victim 10 his hell
ish lusts. The perpetrator of this
terrible crime, Thomas Smothers,
Was on Saturday captured by the
police and identified. During
the afternoon a large and excited
meeting Of citizens was held, and
threats IF lynching were freely ex.
pressed. After the meeting adj
jourped the members moved In
groups towards the station-h ouse,
corner First and f streets north
west, where the man was suppos-
ed to be confined. About IL O'Clock
about 100 men, among them the
gentleman to whom Miss Lines
was engaged, marched into the
station-house and demanded
Smothers. There were seven Of
ficers in the station, who promptly
drew their revolvers and advised
the crowd not to make any de-
monstration, as Smothers had
been removed. A number of the
crowd were recognized, there be-
ing no attempt at masking. The
officers refused to state where the
man had been taken, but it was
subsequently learned by a Post
reporter that he had been spirited
away to the station-honse on Mas
sachusetts avenue, between Ninth
and Tenth streets, where he was
guarded by the entire reserve po-
lice force of the district during the
remainder of the night.

The Market Street Methodist
Episcopal church, Winchester has
been sold to the congregation for
$500.
DIR. Ed Bell, who resided near Ca
pom Bridge, in Frederick county,
Va, died from pneumonia, on Fri
day of last week. He was a physi.
clan of great skill and boundless
charity, and the idol of the commu-
nifty in which he lived.
The advance in the price of print.
ing paper, has caused an advance in
straw. The Hagerstown Null says
offers has been made to farmers in
that country of $500 for the straw
from forty acres Of wheat.
Wednesday night Daniel Smith,
who was recently acquitted in Hag-
erstown of the murder of Walter Os-
borne, assaulted in the mountains
near WolfesYille, Frederick county,
Md, an old man named Frederick
LEOPOLD in such manner that he
has since died. LEOPOLD had testified
against Smith at the trial. Smith is
still at large.
The Spirit Of Jefferson says
A young man named Samuel Har-
ris, known about Harper's Ferry for
few months past, and who profess
SEES to be school teacher, broke into
the dwelling of Mr.. Winfield Nor
gan, near Unionville, on Friday
morning last, and stole about fifty
dollars in money. He was caught
on the b. u O. bridge at Harper's
Ferry, whilst making his way into
Maryland, on Friday night, but
there being no warrant out for his
arrest, he was released. About thir-
ty dollars of the STOLEN money, how
ever, with valise, revolver, gum
boots etc., were taken from him.
The store of Mr.. Israel Russell, at
Harper's Ferry, was also broken into
on Tuesday night last, and the till
robbed of a dollar or so in small
change, and he is now supposed to
be the party who did that act.
The Hagerstown Herald says:
A young man by the name of J.
Frinefrock rashly took his life on last
Wednesday evening whilst in the
hands of officer Harley, under the
charge of forgery. 1t seems that
several weeks ago an individual call
ing himself Myers had presented at
the banking house of Hoffman, Eavy
a. Co., a note purporting to be drawn
by Martin Line for $50 payable to
VIM. Myers. The note was cashed.
On Wednesday last a young man
calling himself Ohio Middlekauff
presented at the same place another
note purporting to be drawn by Geo.
Eakle for sos payable to Ohio Mid
dlekauff, but he was recognized by
Mr.. Hoffman through his disguise
as the same party who had presented
himself several weeks before. Mr..
Eavy proceeded to the Baltimore s.
Ohio Depot with officer Harley, when
the young man, whose real name
turns out to be Frinefrock, was ar
rested, after an effort to conceal
himself in some freight. When
nearly opposite the Post office on his
way to Magistrates Office he sud-

an hour and the following day his
remains were conveyed by his father
to his home near Fairplay this

Office Of The Supervisor Of Census,
FIRST District Of West Virginia.
BucHANNoN, w. VA.,l
MARCH 1. / $50.

MARCH /, 1880. !
Applications for Enumeration, to
be considered by this office, must be
received on or before the Goth day of
the present month (March). I'M
mediately after that time, I will
proceed, as speedily as consistent
with safety, to designate from the
applications on file, one Enumeration
for each Magisterial district, or 9TH
er subdivision, in the several coun-
ties comprising this Census district.
Enumerators must reside in the dis
trict, or other subdivision, for which
they are appointed. 1t is therefore
essential that l have list of the sew
eral districts of each county, desig--
mated by name or number: and /
respectfully request the Clerks Of
the County Courts Of the several
counties comprising this Census dis
trict to send me az soon az c0nvc-
nient, card containing such list.
| have no personal acquaintance
with most of the applicants for Emu
merator, and therefore ask the co.
operation of my fellew citizens with
in the district in the selection Of the
best persons for this important
work. The ignorant and dishonest
always obstruct the work OF Census
Enumerators. They should, there
fore, possess, in the, highest degree,
business tact, personal popularity
and the confidence Of the commune
ties in which they operate; and as q
security for this personal popularity
and confidence, and therefore an adj
ditional aid in the performance of
their duties, it is my Judgment, that
they should, generally, be selected
from the dominant political party in
their districts, but from that class,
who have not rendered themselves
personally obnoxious to their politi-
Cal opponents.
| copy the follow from instruc-
tions, received from the Census Of
flee in Washington: "The appoiut-
ments should be made with refer
ence to physical activity, and to apt
ness, neatness and accuracy in writ
ing and in the use of figures.
To appoint old or broken
down men to this duty las supervi-
sors will, on all sides, be pressed to
do) would not be an act Of charity
but of cruelty. The Census requires
active, energetic men of good adj
dress and readiness with the pen.
Only such can do the work with sat-
isfaction to the Government or
profit to themselves.
Let prejudice and sympathy yield
to the public good. / copy further,
from the Census act, as follows:
Sec. IL. That any Supervisor or
Enumeration, who, having taken and
subscribed the oath required by this
act, shall. without justifable cause,
neglect or refuse to perform the du-
ties enjoined on him by this act.
y Shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor, and upon con-
viction, shall forfeit a sum not ex-
ceeding five hundred dollars.
My Office for the paesent is at
Buchannon, w. Va. Should it be
changed, will give timely notice.

plaintiff had a clear case. He gave
dates and figures in straightforward
