OUT IN THE COLD.
Mrs. Christiancy's Adventure Last
Might.

Mrs. Lille l.. Christiancy created gen.
uinc sensation last night that made the
scenes and developments in her divorce
suit grow small IN comparison, and which
caused considerable excitement in the
neighborhood where IL occurred. 1t is said
by her friends that she was suffering under
n temporary alteration of the mind. It
was only few minutes after o'clock that
James Hughes, the colorcd janitor of the
Police Court, who resides in that building,
was called down stairs by his little daugh-
ter, who urged him to go across the street
to the assistance of woman who. with
nothing but her Undertaking on, and
barcheadcd, was coming along Louisiana
avenue toward ID street Hughes hurried
ont, and rs he approached the woman he
discovered that she was tearing her hair
wildly and acting very much like m
insane person.. Hughes broke into u run,
and seized the woman as she was about as
conding the steps leading to the office of
Cook and Cole, her attorneys. As Hughes
placed his hand on her shoulder the woman
turned her wild, scared face toward him,
and he discovered, to his amazcment, that
it was Mrs. Christiancy. Hughes calledlon
a stranger who was passing to take charge
of Mrs. Christiancy, and then hurried for n
carriage. Chattcring with cold, and still
llHutlctilly tcurlnB ncr nulr ana POuBlnB
her eyes, the unfortunate woman was
placed in the carriage which quickly
arrived and was ut once driven back to the
residence her father Mr. Lugenbeel, three
squares away. The family in the
meantime had discovered her sudden de-
parture, and, almost crazed, the father set
out in search of her and met The carriage
driving toward his house. Mrs. Christi
ancy was taken to her room and medical as
sistance was summoned. Mr.. Lugenbeel
stated that he and his wife were in their
room in the third-story when he heard his
daughters room door open, and then heard
her descending the stairs. lie gave pursuit.
AS to the lady's condition he said it was n
temporary attack of insanity, for which
there was no cause that he knew of beyond
her existing trouble, She had somewhat re-
covered from the attack, and there was no
danger, he thought, of any serious result.
He was greatly depressed by the occurrence,
and had hoped that the papers would not
get hold of it. DIR. Ralph Walsh was sum
moned and prescribed for Mrs. Christiancy,
who soon became quiet and went to sleep.

A BRUTE AT LARGE.
Attempted Outrage OH Capt.
tOl Hill.

Another addition has been made to the
long list of flcndish attempts at outrage
upon unprotected females in our city.
Last Monday night, Miss Bertha Hoff-
man, an estimablc German girl about 90
years old, residing at 1926 II street north
east, left her homo about o'clock to make
visit to friend, and while walking along
Maryland avenue, near Tenth street, was
approached by u negro man, who asked her
to direct him to II street. This she did,
and started to continue on her journey
when the
Black Brute
asked her to accompany him, saying he
feared he could not find the street. The
Negroes actions led the young lady to believe
that he meant mischief, and she turned
quickly and walked hastily away toward
Green's statue. The black iend followc d,
and, running up behind her, caught her
around the waist and attempted to drag her
to n vacant lot near by. Miss Hoffman
screamed Justify for help, but the beast did
not desist, knowing probably that a police
man is never seen after dark within mile
of that place.
The young lady, who Is considerably
above the average size and quite muse ular,
struggled with the man and used her best
efforts to make him relinquish his hold, all
the time calling ut the top of her voice for
help. Finding that he could not accom-
plsh his hellish designs, the negro viciously
bit Miss Hoffman on the right arm In three
or four places, making as many ugly
wounds, and then ran of. The poor girl,
almost frightened to death, made her way
home and related her story to Mrs. Bar
bara Clements, the lady with whom
she lives. She was in most de-
plorabe condition, her bleeding and
lacerated arm presenting an ugly picture.
A reporter of THE CRITIC made his way to
the house Of Miss Hoffman this morning,
and found her still suffering intensely from
the wounds received. She describes the
negro rs n man about 30 or 81 years of age,
u mulatto, about five feet six in height, and
wearing mustache. She thinks she will
be able to identify him. As yet, the police
have not been officially informed of the
attempted outrage, but it is hoped that they
will read carefully the article in THE
CRITIC and begin an immediate search for
the rascally negro.
Several cases of rape have been commit
ted in this same section of the city, and it
is about time thnt police were stationed
there to prevent similar outrages Mary
land avenue and Tenth street northeast is
just such place rs would be selected for
assaults of this kind. 1t is sparsely settled,
and n gas lamp is one of the things not to
be seen in that vicinity.
