True Love I'm Slam.

Even in Siam the course of true love does
not run smooth A Siamese paper tells tho
following "o'er true tale" of that distant
land: "Ai Saun, aged 21, became attached to
Amdaang Waun, and requested elders to So
licit the girl in marriage from her parents.
The parents declined the proposals. Saun,
however, knew that Amdaang Waun was at
tached to man who was in the priesthood,
named Chu'ey, and, therefore, entertained
bitter enmity to Chu'ey. On Aug. II, 1881,
Saun, Saang, and Raut embarked in u boat
and concealed themselves at the temple Wat
Laht. Raut was stationed to watch the boat
Saang was stationed by the wall of the temple
to guard the passage, while Saun, with his
flint lock gun, loaded with shot, advanced tC
tho room of the priest Chuey and fired upon
him. The priest survived the wounds in.
ficted only one day. The criminality of al
parties was proved in court. Raut and Saanl
were each sentenced to sixty strokes of the
rattan and confinement in the penitentiary
Saun was sentenced to ninety strokes of thu
rattan and decapitation at the temple Wa

A Dangerous Crossing.

WAsHINGToN, d. c., Mar. IA railway ac-
cdent occurred last week at the intersec-
ton of Delaware and Massachusetts, avenues,
by which wagon was completely demOl-
ished, the horse so badly injured as to neces-
state his being killed, while the lucky (2)
driver by jumping from his wagon, escaped
with only broken leg. This is the identical
spot at which "Bud " Eagleston was killed,
and at whose inquest the jury severely CEN
sured the Baltimore and Ohio railway, and
strongly recommended the placing of another
watchman at this dangerous crossing.
The writer when about to cross the track
at this point this afternoon was warned TO
wait by the approach of single engine, and
Just beyond on another track freight train
coming in the same direction. When the
freight train stopped (the single engine being
vet some distance away / attempted to cross,
when the freight train, without any warning
whatever, then about ten feet away, started
toward me. Then l was greeted with "look
out" from the watchman on the opposite
side of the track. Now had there been
another watchman on the east side he

thirty-sovcn applicants for relief applied at

for two seamstresses, one driver, one
nurse, one servant and three sCrubwomen
Transportation was furnished two persons |;
| two applicants were sent to Freedmans' hos

Mr.. Emery said that the character of the
applicants for work or relief showed very
wholesome state of affairs. The tramp cle-

who applied for work had families dependent
upon them, and those who applied for aims or
relief were physically unable to do any work.
Mr.. Emery also said that he had had
interviews with the members of the
senate appropriation committee since
the last meeting and they were
greatly in favor of the associated charities.
Senator Plumb had expressed himself as
being sure that if the money for the use of the
poor of the district was placed in charge of
the Associated Charities the appropriation for
such purpose might be reduced to $4,000 per
annum.
A re solution was adopted to print 500 extra
copies of the boards annual report for 1882
and after an informal conversation regarding
the details of the associations work the meet

THE NEW ASSESSMENT.

Large Number OF Applications for APP
pointment - The Probable Assessment
Districts.
The matter of the new assessment is now
engrossing tho attention of the commissions
ers. The list of applications for position OF
assessor is increasing daily, fourteen flames
being added yesterday. The requirement OF
bond of $1,000 is a bar to the application OF
those who have no personal standing, and
from tho number who have already sought
the positions twelve competent and faithful
assessors should be readily obtained.
The assessment districts have not finally
bean determined upon, but their projected
boundaries are as follows First, that portion
of the county east of the eastern branch
second, that portion of the county north OF
the city and east of Rock creek third, that
portion of the county lying west of Rock
creek and Georgetown; fourth, from
Rock creek to Nineteenth street
west; fifth, from Nineteenth street tC
Fifteenth street west; sixth, from Fifteenth
to Tenth street west; seventh, from Tenth

from Sixth street east to Eleventh street east

Held Tor the Grand Jury-rhe Hackman
also Held MS an AcComplICc.


In the police court yesterday the case of
Joseph Loudon, charged with committing an
outrage on Dolly Moxey on Thursday nightS
last was heard. Henry Scott, the driver of
the hack which the parties occupied, was put
on trial as an accessory.
The complainant stated that Thursday night
Loudon came to her house in carriage to
take her to the fair of the Capital City guards
at Whalen's hall. She objected to go at first,
as the other people he had said were going
with them were not present, but he insisted
and she got in the carriage The carriage
drove out Fourteenth street, and when it
reached Kicks park he got out and got n
drink and brought her u glass of beer, which
he compelled her to drink. He then ordered
the driver to drive on, and she was driven out
of the city, and on the way he rcproached
her for refusing to marry him. He then
got proiaue and used insulting language
to her, and finally drew n revolver, and said
if she refused to submit to him or moved an
inch he would blow the top of her head of.
She screamed for the driver to drive her back
to the city, but Loudon told him to drive on.
lie put his hand on her mouth to keep her
from screaming, and she bit his hand, and he
then struck her in the face and blacked her
eye After accomplishing his purpose the
hack was turned toward the city at point
Just above Boundary and on the way back
Loudon stopped and got out to get drink,
and the driver stood at tho door of the hack
to keep her from escaping. AT Fourteenth
and w streets both the driver and Loudon
went into restaurant, and she escaped from
the hack and ran into drug store and asked
for protection. The druggist loaned her five
cents aud she got on a Fourteenth street car,
and mt the corner of Fourteenth and l. streets
she saw an officer, and walked out of the car
and lell in the street. She told her story to
SCrst. Amiss. who saw her safely to her home.
On cross-eXamination by Mr. Darlington
she stated that she has lived here about seven
years, and has known Loudon about n year.
She said she is not married. and declined to
state whether she has n child. She also denied
that she got mad with him because he refused
TO pay for n dress that she ordered. The court
declined to hear any further testimony, and
said he would hold the defendants for the
grand jury. Prosecuting Attorney Moore
asked that Loudon he held in $500 and Scott
in 81 900, which was done, and the defend
ants were committed in default of bail.
