Out Of 1000 persons who went into
the Ring theater at Vienna on the night
of the 9th Of December, over 900
were killed outright in space Of time
unmeasured by minutes. Gen. Grant.
in the four days bloody fighting in the
Wilderness, had 2,2G1 killed out of
10000 under marching orders. In
the terrible battles at Spottsylvania he
had 1872 men killed. At Shiloh Grant
lost in two days fighting 1.735 men
killed. At Stone River Rosecrans had
,533 of the 1900 men engaged killed
outright. All these were furious con-
fiicts, In which great armies. trained
and equipped 10 do their worst.
were hurled against each other. The
| slaughter In each case was terrible. but
at Stone river only one man in thirty
was killed, and in the Wilderness only
one man out Of every sixty-nine. At
Vienna the crowd gathered for pleas
ure. Men, women, and children were
crowded into building, and of every
two people who went in, one died a ter
rible death. This is carnage worse
than that Of battle, and calamity more
terrible than that If earthauake or
sbipwreck or hurricane. Little won
der, then, that Austria is in ferrnent
over condition Of things that makes
such calamitles pOs6ible.E

A W0MAN'S BRUTAL TREATMENT.
Assaulted aud I.cr, Terribly Brui.e.

1
NEW HAVEN, Dec 14-The other
morning Officer Larkin, Of Ansonia.
was informed that ;he nearly naked
body Of = woman lay upon an en-
bankmcnt IN the rear Of the factory Of
Osborn Il Cheeseman, in that town.
| He hastenc@ To the spot and found
| that the woman was alive, although she
had lain upon the frozen ground the
entire night, her only clothing being a
torn SHIRT, one stocking, and piece cf
| corset. Her hair was in CON
fusion about her head and neck,
and was all matted with blood
and grass. Her entire body was cut
and bruised in frightful manner. So
! bruised and swollen was her face that
! her eyes were buried from view. On
all sides were pieces Of her torn cloth
| ing, and the grass and weeds looked az
if crushed by n heavy farm roller.
! The woman proved To- be Mary
Glendon, about 10 years old, an en-
| ploye at Gardner's buckle shop. She
stated to Dir. Baker that she had been
to Birmingham to make some arrange
ment about her pension, her husband
| having died in the late war. Her
brother-in-law accompanied her part
way back to Ansonia, leaving her nj
The covered bridge. While going
through the bridge she was assaulted
by four men, who. she thinks, were
colored. One Of them struck her with
his fist, she remembered that some
liquor was forced down her throat, and
she was beaten until she lost conscious
ness. DIR. Baker says there is no doubt
the woman has been NEST horribly NAL
treated. She lies now at her sisters
house. The probability is that she
will die. The facts were kept as quiet
as possible by the authorities, who were
in hopes that some clue might be OBJ
tanned to .he perpetrators OF the crime.
In corroborat'on Of the woman's story
a shawl, identified as hers, was found
At one end Of the bridge, yesterday.
The bridge has been the scene of many
crimes, and il often frequented by
gangs of ruffians.

busy people. the teachers and scholars in the
public schools. On Monday forenoon came

with an elegant volume of poems by the Cary
sisters, beautiful and appropriate gift. The

and progress that the labors of the
