A Baltimore Lad of 15 Beaten into a
State of Helpless IdiOcy.

Howard l.. Perry, aged 10 years, was
taken from the House of Refuge a few
days ago, and now lies in his brothers
house, 3S9 North Gay street, in an almost
comatose condition. An examination by
Drs. f. T. Miles and Street revealed the
fact that the boy had been beaten into a
state of helpless idiOcy. He was bruised,
SCARED, and diScOlOred from his head to
the calves of his legs, and the doctors do
not expect him to live. He is unable to
tell who beat him, and no one else seems
to know. 1t is pretty generally under
derstOOd, however, that it was no person
in authority at the Refuge. Howard Perry
has been in the institution for several
years. He was sent there for safety by
his brother, VIM. Perry, who is a trainman
on the Western Maryland Railroad, and
who was out of town so much that he
could not keep the lad under proper sur
veillance. About a week a ago a boy,
who got out on a ticket of leave, told Mr..
Perry that his brother had ''lost his
mind" He added that a night Waterman
had spite against Howard Perry, and
had been frequently seen to strike him
with a heavy club which he carries on
duty. The Waterman denies this, and
says that one of the other boys, named
Golte, had beaten Perry in the bath room
with piece of rubber hose. The Super
intendent of the place has locked this boy
up, and is investigating.

PURSUED TO DEATH.
Fatal Leap of Little Girl to Escape a
Wretch who Outraged Her.
Fort HO0goe Ia y CnooiaI 10 IVooI;1oto,, poet


Fort Monroe Va Special 10 Washington Post,
10th.
Yesterday Sheriff Haas, of Hampton,
arrested Henry Lancer, an eX-soldier,
who keeps hotel, bar and pool room at
Mill creek, mile south of the fort, charg-
ed with committing a rape on a little girl
eleven years old, the daughter of a de-
ceased soldier residing at that place. 1t
appears that the Offense was committed
last August, since which time Lancer
has been trying at different times
to get the girl to deny it; this she persis-
tently refused to dc. On Sunday he met
her and persuaded her to come to the
house, which was vacant, his wife being
absent. He took the girl up into the third
story attic rOonSand told her If she did
not deny it he would hang her. On her
refusal he locked her in the room and in
formed her he was going for rope to
hang her. She waited in suspense until
she heard his footsteps approaching,
when overcome by her fears, she
jumped through the window, car
rying the sash with her, and
fell a distance of thirty feet, lighting on a
pile of bricks, breaking her leg, and sus-
tanning internal injuries from which it is
feared she will die. On the facts coming
to Sheriff Haas knowledge, he summoned
a posse and surrounded the house. and
AHONlnS I-dllceI W NC u desperate anu ue-
termlned man and well armed, they deci-
ded to await favorable opportunity for his
capture. A close watch was kept upon the
premises until midnight, when the raid was
made. Lancer was found in the cellar
with a navy revolver, with which he
threatened to shoot the first man that adj
vanced, but one of the party succeeded in
getting behind him and knocked the pistol
out of his hand, when he was hancuffed
and carried to the Jail at Hampton, where
he is now confined. Lancers place has
borne an unsavOry reputation tor some
time and his license was recently taken
away on account of his frequent viola
tions of the Sunday law.
A report has just reached here that the
girl died of her injuries this morning.
