A CHICAGO SENSATION.

DIR. Robert Hunter Sued for Criminal As
sault and Verdict of $4,000 Against
Him.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Judge Garriss' court
room was treated to-day to a genuine SEN
sation. The Judge had on his call for to-
day the suit of Honra Mccarthy against
DR.. Robert Hunter for $4,000 damages
for an alleged forcible debauchery of the
plaintiff on Jan. 5, 1882, in his Office or
State street. It was reached in few
minutes after the court opened and
neither DR.. Hunter nor his attorney was
present. But when messenger
was sent for him and no answer came, and
the case was put on trial ex parte, sensa-
ton was created.
The only witness examined was the
plaintiff herself, who is large framed and
coarse featured woman, twenty eight years
old. She was sworn, and testified that she
was an unmarried woman and a servant
girl, and that she had lived in the family
of Mr.. A. c. Calkins. DR.. Hunter was at
tending Mr.Calkins' daugher for disease of
the throat. Miss Mccarthy was suffering
with throat disease at the same time, and
during one of the doctors visits she had
him examine her throat also. He said she
had very bad throat, and insisted that
she should come to his Office to be treat
ed for it. Subsequently she
paid four visits to his
office. On these occasions he made exam
nations of a private character. It was
claimed that criminal assault was com
mltted on the last of these occasions and
was effected by singular combination OF
fraud and force.
Mr.. Brandt, her attorney, rested his case
on her testimony alone, though he had
half dozen other material witnesses in
court, among them Mr.. and Mrs. Calkins
who, it is understood, credit Miss McCar-
thy with character and reputation above
reproach in every way.
The jury went out without argument OF
speech, and to the surprise of every one,
remained out for an hour, at the end of
which they came into coart with verdict
for the plaintiff, fixing her damages at
$1,000. One of the jurymen informed a
reporter that none of the jury doubted the
witness story, and that five of them voted
to give her $4,000 damages.
The verdict had hardly been read when
Counsellor A. S. Trude came into court
with vast splotches of mud on his over.
coat, and moved for a new trial in the
case. He was going to explain how tHe
case came to be neglected, but the judge
told him to put it off until the motion was
to be argued. To a reporter he explained
that he had been DR.. Hunters attorney in
the case for several weeks, and had an ex
plicit understanding with Mr.. Brandt that
the case was not to be tried until he saw
him agaiu. Mr.. Trude said that in his
efforts to reach court wagon ran over hif
buggy and threw him out, and it was not
until he had taken large drink of fire
water that he could resume his iourne Y
He says he will be ready to try the case

The Northern Pacific road yesterday
completed transaction Of q good deal of
Importance to st. Paul This transaction
consists of the purchase of 22O acres of
land lying along the north side of the
Manitoba road from the transfer grounds
along down about two miles. It is ex-
pected the deed win 60 on record to-day.
The negotiations &ave been pending
for long time and were
conducted through third parties, for
the very obvious reason that if it had been
known that the Northern Pacific road
wanted the ground there would not have
been money enough in the United States to
pay for it with. Along with this purchase
of ground comes the information that the
Northern Pacific road has made an arrange
ment with the St. Paul & Manitoba road
whereby it gets the right to build a track
along on the east of the st. Paul g. Manito-
ba road from Sauk Rapids down with
perpetual right to use the track of the st.
Paul & Manitoba road into st. Paul. The
property is purchased for the purpose of
making st. Paul substantially the terminal
point of the Northern Pacific road. It is
expected that the road will go right to
work to improve the grounds by construct
ing upon them the necessary elevators,
packing and cattle houses, and many other
buildings suitable for the accommodation
of the business of the road. Two hundred
and twenty acres of ground is large piece
of territory. and indicates pretty clearly
that the Northern Pacific road has an eye
upon the future of st. Paul.

Netc Freight AGENT.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Mr. A. G. Bird, gen
eral freight agent of the Wabash, has at
last decided to accept the position of gen.
eral freight agent of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, which was rendered him a
few weeks ago, Mr. Bird was in the city
yesterday, and had conference with Gen
eral Manager S. s. Merrill, and the nego-
tiations between them were brought to q
successful close. The Milwaukee & St.
Paul may congratulate itself upon having
been able to SECURE the services of so able
and edhcienta man for the responsible posi-
ton of general freight agent as Mr.. Bird.
A better man to fill the place
than Mr.. Bird could not we'll have
been selected. He has been general
freight agent of the Wasbash for many
years, and enjoys the reputation of being
one of the ablest and most energetic
freight managers in the country. The
Wabash made strong efforts to retain the
services of Mr.. Bird, but although he was
reluctant to sever his connection with
that road, yet, the sacrifice would have
been too much to ignore the fine offer
made by the Milwaukee & st. Paul, and
therefore he concluded to accept the new
position.
