A Terrible Assault.

Mrs. Henry Winson Outraged-The Sup
posed Miscreant Arrested-He is Lodged
i'm the Station House.
About9 o'clock Saturday evening while Mrs.
Henry Winson was proceeding to her house,
No. So Nash street, she was, as stated by her,
the victim of terrible outrage. The lady,
who is about forty years of age and very
respectable, was on her way home from a
store on State street where she had been
trading, and, as stated to the police officer,
noticed young man following her. When
she reached the lot on the corner of Law
renee and Nash streets, she felt a singing
sensation on the back of her head and sup
posed she had been shot. She was then
seized by the young man whom she had no.
ticed following her on the street. He
clutched her throat with one hand and
stifed her cries by filing her mouth with
snow. She was thrown violently upon the
snow and with threats of death if she made
any cutlery her person was violated. The
ravisher then exacted under further
threats of death a promise that she
would not reveal what had TRANSFERRED.
She reached her house in an exhausted con-
dition and notified her husband of what had
reported the case to Captain Hyde, and he de-
tailed Policemen O'Keefe and Bissel to assist
in finding the perpetrator of the outrage
After three hours search and inquiry, they
arrested Thomas McClone, who lived in the
rear of 200 Hamilton street. When found
McClone was in bed considerably under the
influence of liquor. He asserts his innocence
of the crime and declares that he was not on
State street on Saturday evening" although
Mrs. WinSon SAWS she saw him there and it
was stated at the police Office last evening
that several witnesses would corroborate
Mrs. Wilson'S statement. McClone denies
all knowledge of the affair. 1t is not
likely that Mrs. Winson will be able to ap-
pear in court this morning, but when she is
able to put in an appearance she will be re-
quired to select the man who outraged her
from q number of others, and should she
identify McClone his chances for release will
be slim indeed. The prisoner was confined
in the ststion house all day yesterday. 1t is
said that he has never before been arrested.

Presentation at Whitney ArmOry to the

Retiring Secretary.
An inter esting event occurred at Whitney
armory on Saturday noon. Mr.. Henry W.
Church, secretary of the Whitney Arms
company for over fifteen years past, while
busy at his desk, was waited upon in an un-
official manner by MIR. Grover of the factory
and asked to step cut and look at some guns
which they had been getting ready to ship.
Mr.. Grover led the way to the assembly room
of the establishment, where Mr.. Church be
held the whole force of employees of the es-
Establishment in waiting, and for the first time
began to feel that denouement was on the
tapis. Mr. Church was confronted by Cap
tain j. Henry Smith, residing on Humphrey
street, the inspector and long prominent
hand at the armory, and Mr.. Smith, who is a
good speaker and ex-Sunday school superin-
tendent and deacon at the East Congregation
al church, fired away capital speech express
sive of a high sense of appreciation of Mr..
Church as gentleman, co-worker and friend,
closing by presenting Mr.. Church on behalf
of the assembly with an elegant, massive
gold chain and locket and fine scarf pin,
the latter dogs head with a diamond in the
mouth On the face of the locket was a
cameo on which was cut the bust of hector,
and the back was handsomely engraved as fol-
lows:
"presented to Henry A. Church. Secretary of the
Whitney Arms Co., by the Employees, 1882"

The Second Heavy Snow storm-A Rough
N1ght-ZerO Weather--A Warm Wave
Expected-Snow PIoughs
All who had to be exposed to any extent
to Saturday nights snow storm are unani-
nous in the verdict that a rougher night is
seldom encountered in these regions. 1t be-
gan showing at p. m. A high northeast
wind rose and kept on rising until evening,
when it blew gale and sent the fine snow
particles about with vengeance, especially
with the thermometer down near zero. The
driving snow gave thin audiences at the
opera houses and business at the stores went
over till Monday, except the grocery stores
At 1 O'Clock in the morning the great storm
was central in Georgia and moving north
east. It's northern edge reached here at 1
p. M. Storm signals in anticipation of high
winds were hoisted all along the coast at 10
a. m. These were fully justified, the wind
maintaining an average of thirty miles an
hour throughout the evening. The center
of the storm reached here about p. m.
A warm wave was reported marching east
ward from Dakota, where the thermometer
Saturday was reported as high as II. Rain
falls of over three inches are reported from
| the South from places lying in the track OF
| the storm. The temperature fell rapidly in
the early morning standing at one time at
| eight degrees below zero.
| The railroad trains did as we'll as could be
expected battling with snowdrifts. The
streets were badly drifted by midnight, and
| yesterday morning where the snow shovel
| lers had cleared the walks and the snow
| ploughs the horse railroads, the snow banks
| were high-reminding old settlers of some OF
| the old-time big drifts. ....
On all the horse railroads the ploughs were
| out early yesterday forenoon making the
| snow fly and the tracks were cleared by af-
| ternoon, and the church cars ran.
The big pile of snow hinders the ice cut
ting at Lake Whitney. The remainder of the
crop will be got in however, with the pres
emit cold weather.
The churches were not largely attended
yesterday. The light weather favored church
| going, but the snow was too heavy.
| Inspector Nation worked with bis accus
toned great energy yesterday, and did al
immense amount of work. An army Of
Iitians was necessary yesterday for the her
| culean task. =
| Superintendent of Parks Andrus was also
out early with two horses and snow ploughs
on the parks, fighting with the snow drifts
Not half laborers enough could be had, as il
was Sunday. SO he had to defer clearing
some of the walks till to-day.
| Yesterday two hacks started from this city
| to attend funeral. Thinking there wouIc
| be some snow shovels were taken. Wher
| just beyond Cheshire station drifts were
| found up to the horses backs, and the parties
had to stop and dig their way ahead. The
parties arrived there safely, but had quite ar
| experience.
