Admirer on the street.

SAVANNAH, GA, September 2l.-A COW
hiding affair, in which a bewitching bru'
nette moving in fashionable society play
ed leading role, caused decided sensa
ton in this city tonight. The lady in
question had been annoyed by several
notes from man supposed TO be com
mercial traveller for a New York house,
and upon the advice Of a gentleman friend
granted her unknown correspondent the
privilege Of making call at her home,
Not anticipating trap, the stranger pre-
sented himself tonight, and had hardly
entered the parlor when he asked the lady's
company for q etroll. Accepting the In.
yitation she left the honse, but had not
proceeded further than hall block when
the gentleman who had concocted the plot
passed her and slipped heavy cowhide
into her hand.
Without word Of warning she sud-
denly commenced lashing her insulter
across the face with the whip, and before
he could realize the situation he was stream.
ing with blood and had both his eyes
nearly closed. His attempted apology only
drew forth more blows, and he finally
took to his heels, The lady then returned
home before her family were aware oil
what bad been going on. Had the chas,
tised dude fallen into the hands OF the
lady's brother he would, in all probability
have received dose Of cold lead. Efforts
are being made 10 ferret out the identity
OF the man, and II successful further sen.
sational Developments may ensue.

WAYSEsBuRG, Pa, September 2l.-Yes-
terday morning our town was the tceneof a
serious shooting, the parties being Daniel
Jacobs and Patrick Boyle. The facts OF
the case appear as can gather them,
are as follows: Tatrick Boyle was under
the influence ofliquor, and went into the
drug store Of Rogers 4 Jacobs. Becoming
somewhat boisterous, he was ordered out
by Mr.. Jacobs, one Of the proprietors.
Boyle refused 10 go, when Mr.. Jacobs put
him out. Boyle picked up stone from
the street, went to tse door and hurled the
missile at jacobs head. Jacobs lodged Il,
and 1t went crashing among the bottles
and Jars in the store. After throwing the
stone Boyle started out in the street and
had reached point about midway oi the
gutter at the mouth OF the alley passing be-
tween tie Sherman House and the drug
store, when Jacobs reached the door OF his
store, and shot at Boyle, the ball entering
the right side between the seventh and
eight ribs, aud passed clear through, pierc.
ing the left lobe Of the lung. The wounded
man fell, and was picked up and carried
into the Sherman House, where medical
aid was summoned. Boyle was exam.
ined by Drs. Ely, Patton, Brock, Purman,
Gross and Stone. The wound Is very
serious one, and at this writtngit Ia diff.
cult to tell what the result will be, but 1t is
hoped that Boyle will recover. Jacobs
was taken before Esquire Munnell, who
committed him to Jail to await the result OF
Boy les wound.

PHILADELPHIA, September 2l.-Thc
Times has the following: "Yes, have q
theory regarding the Rose Amber mur.
der" answered Detective Charles F. Miller
yesterday. ~ have hesitsted to advance
1t because ! am in no way connected with
the case and do not want 10 appear as inter.
fering in matter that is apparently en-.
gagiug The attention Of many capable men.
The facts in the crime are few. Mrs.
Amber was in the habit OF parting with
her intended husband, Lewis, at the Lisle
Curtis house and OF returning alone to her
home. Whether she did 80 on the night
OF September 2-l mean whether Lewis
accompanied her on that particular occa.
sion or not--is Of paramount importance.
But, as that rests only On Lewis statements
the past career OF the murdered woman
should be thoroughly investigated. She
separated from Lewis at 8 O'Clock. The
night was dark and lowering. The distance
from bis gate 10 the spot where her body
was found Is mile and II quarter The
hour OF her murder is fixed at 1885 by
Preston Il Hoig's! Mrs, Isabelle aud Mrs.
Mary Merrill, Sho live within three hun.
dred yards nj the place where the corpse
lay. Now, where and iu whose company
was abe between the hours mentioned
Where wss she during the shower ? Surely
not out on the road alone, because the rain
iell after 10 o'clock. AT most half an hour
ought to have been ample to cover the dis
tance.
Now, you want my theory. Woll, 1t is
probable that the woman had another ad-
mirer. l believe that it was to meet him
that she always returned alone from her
visits to Lewis. She met this man on that
Sunday evening and they walked up and
down the road for some time. TheA they
quarreled, bmd he pinched her or slapped
her face. She threatened to shout, or did
60, and in his efforts 10 stop her cries the
man seized her roughly. Thea It was she
screamed murder and was chVked to in.
stnsibility in mad impulse 10 avoid scan
dal. The man was married. 1 should not
go out OF S,ratIord to Look for him. Had
he been young man, and single, he would
have told ner 10 shout all she wanted TO-.
The crime belongs to- class known as 'ac.
cidental murderS' Much stress has been
placed on the inct that no attempt was
ina ie to hide the body. That is very silly.

New York, September 2l.-The Senate
Sub Committee on Labor and Education
had before them as a witness today F. B.
Thurber, leader Of an anti-monopoly
league. Witness believed the unsatisfac.
tory state Of relations existing between
capital and labor, and which prevailed to
considerable extent in this county, was
due to enormous changes consequent upon
the discovery and utilization Of steam and
electricity, which within comparatively
few years had revolutionized all
departments Of production and COM
merce, and to great extent
affairs Of society in general. Within the
last fifty years new forces have arisen for
which the laws are entirely inadequate,
and these have been allowed 10 be monopo.
lizel BY the few. With these forces had
come the tremendous development Of
machinery and corporate org lnizition, all
Of which had conferred great ban fl;
upon humanity as whole, but that benefit
had taken place without the proper regula-
tion, and that a corps oi attendant evils
bad sprung up in consequence. tie
did not attribute all ilIs Of society
To the effects ot this kind Of
monopoly. Here were as many causes as
land monopoly, currency monopoly, tariff
monopoly, combination in trade monopoly,
taxation, intemperance and Ignorance
which have been bearing upon the prob.
lem. In regard to the carrying trade of
this worlds highways on land could be-
monopolized, while on sea the exaction OF
the carrier could be held in check by com.
petition. The msjority Of our lawmakers
were interested directly or indirectly in
the corporate enterprises, and statutes were
enacted In that interest.
