a Sad Case of Destitution.


sensational rumor gained currency
yesterday morning to the effect that a
young woman had made a desperate at
tempt at suicide by poisoning, her resi-
dence being in the Willius building, corner
of Seventh and Locust streets.
Upon investigation the report was found
to be unfounded, as near as could be
ascertained, as to the attempt at suicide,
but at all events most pitifui case of
assertion, illness and restitution was re-
vealed. At the location named resided
Mrs. or Miss (which is not knowu) Mar
garet Gundolf whose husband or fancee
is said to be in Chicago. For several days
the young woman has been very i'll, and
yesterday morning she was taken with
commissions, symptoms which sometimes
precede childbirth.
Being attracted to her apartment, and
upon beholding her agony the neighbors
supposed that she had taken poison and
they called in police officer. Antidotes
for poison were given, but when Drs.
Ancker, the city physician, and DR.. De-
dolph came they pronounced it a severe
case of childbirth. The child was still
born and it was almost full grown. The
unfortunate woman was taken to the city
hospital and she is not expected to live
DR.. Dedolph informed a reporter that she
was falsely arrested by man named Ross
Ter few weeks ago, who put her in jail
on the charge of larceny. To the fright
caused by her imprisonment the doctor
attributes her present unfortunate condi
ton.

A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.
Assault Last Night ON a Seven Year
Old Girl.
HE ATR0CITY OF THE FIEND,
Who Was Fortunately FOiled in Time
to Save the Life Of the Child.

In the criminal annals of st. Paul scarce
~ parallel case, in point of fendish
brutality, is equal to the atrocious deed
committed in this city during the early
Tours of last night, and for the
sake of common humanity it is pity that
the vile perpetrator has not been made
ere this, to feel the weight of the condign
punishment which his act so richly merits.
Residing on Mississippi street
is an honest German named Engleworth,
the proprietor of small saloon and gro
Gerry. He is the father of several children,
among whom is a bright little girl seven
years of age. In the employ of Engle-
worth was a clerk named Swadsky; that, it
is thought, not being his real name, but it
will answer for the present purpose, as the
scoundrel at this writing, 2 q. M, is not
yet under arrest.
Last evening the young brute, who is
about twenty-one or TWENTY-FIVE years of
age, enticed the child into a barn in the
rear of the store and attempted the most
brutal and indecent assault. Owing to her
tender years he did not at first accomplish
his purpose, when he attempted to use a
knife, the downright murder of his victim
being only prevented by her loud screams
which forced him to desist and which at
tracted her relatives to the scene. He then
fed, and could he have fallen into the
hands of the girls father, it is safe to
say that his carcass would have before
now been thrown to the dogs. Physicians
were called and it is thought that the
child's injuries will not prove serious, il
the physical sense. This morning the
police were securing the city for the brute
