The New Fast-pIail Train.

CHICAGO, March S.-The new fast-mail train
between New York and Chicago is not looked
upon very favorably by the people of the rail
way mail service here 1t is held that, as the
is useless as far as Chicago is concerned, rs the
mail could not be delivered until after the regu-
lar train had come in. The officers of the Post
Office department did not see how Chicago would
any good to the intermediate Western stations,
as it passed them all after night. 1t might be
that It was the intention of the department to
put on another train connecting here with the
far West, but the officials have no information
on the subject.
The first train of tho new fast mail which left
New York Saturday night at $40, due at Chicago
the next night at 12:35, arrived seven minutes
ahead of time. Postmaster-general Gresham,
First Assistant Postmaster-genera Hatton and
General Superintendent Thompson, of the rail
way mail service, accompanied the train There
were seven postal cars.

INDIANA POLITICS.
Knox County Democratic Primaries-Wide
spread Dissatisfaction in the Party.

Knox County Democratic Primaries-Wide-
spread Dissatisfaction in the Party.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
VINCENNEs, March 8.-There is trouble in the
Democratic ranks in old Knox. The Democratic
primary election took place to-day, and the result
was most peculiar. 1t was q fight of the Ger
mans against the Irish, and the Germans were
victorious. Martin L. S~eddlemyer was nomi-
mated by an overwhelming majority over Nc
earthly for sheriff, John FL. Piel for commits
sioner, Robert P. Mayfeld for surveyor and Ed
ward Cooper for coroner. The Democracy have
put up a decidedly weak ticket. The dissatis-
faction in the Democratic ranks is widespread,
and many q split ticket will be voted this fall.
This local campaign has been one of SANDER and
vilifcation. Mccarthy, but recently the city
treasurer of Vincennes, has been charged with
all manner of malfeasance in Office, and that,
too, by the bitterest kind of Democrats. An
investigation was ordered by the City Council to
satisfy the demands of McCarthy's enemies, and
the examination cost the city $3.50 to discover
Mccarthy behind in his accounts only 81. so.
The calumny of the campaign has resulted very
seriously and extensively to the city, and the
tax will have to foot the bill. Deep and
profound is the disgust of hundreds of the best
Democrats at the methods pursued in the fight
now over, and it can only result to the ultimate
good of the Republican party.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
A Young Lady Bound and Gagged and the
House Ransacked for Plumber.

New York, March 9-The police, to-day, ar
rested Jesse Williams, a negro coachman, and
Gertrude Ash, a colored servant, his alleged &C.
compliee in one of the most brutal assaults and
robberies perpetrated in this city since the Hull
murder, in 1873. The victim of the assault is
Maggie Harvey, aged eighteen, and a sister of
Mrs. George Sloane, whose husband is a promi-
nent merchant of this city, and occupied a fiat
in the neighborhood of West Second street and
Broadway. Gertrude Ash was a serv-
ant in the family and regarded as an
Industrious and honest girl. On Saturday
evening, Mr.. and Mrs. Sloane went out, leaving
Miss Harvey IN charge of her little niece, two
and a helf years old. Miss Harvey retired about
1890. Sloane's little girl slept with her. In the
bedroom is a large closet Miss Harvey had
juss retired when she heard a strange noise.
Looking around, she saw the closet door swing
open, and Williams sprang forward, and, grasp
ing her by the throat, threatened to kill her if
she made an cutlery. The eommotion
awakened the child, and it began to cry.
Williams threatened to take it's life if
Miss Harvey did not make it keep still. He then
demanded to know where the money was kept,
and ordered her to give him the keys Of the va
rious rooms, with the most brutal threats if she
did not obey him. When she said she did not
know where the things were kept he dragged
her from bed, still retaining a grasp upon her
throat, and threw her violently upon
the floor, stuffed a handkerchief in
her mouth and tied a towel securely
around her head. He fastened her hands
behind her, and tied her feet. He then ran
sacked the apartments, packing up whatever he
found Of value, and escaped by way Of a window
which led to the fre-escape. Mr.. and Mrs.
Sloane returned about 11:30, noticed the dis
ordered condition of the dining-room and sus-
pected something wrong. They went to Miss
Harveys room, and found her as above stated,
unconscious. She must soon have died
from suffocation. She was with difficulty
restored to consciousness and told her
story. Her body was covered with bruises and
marks. Her brutal treatment is plainly visible
about the neck. She was in a very critical con
dition to-day. The police were promptly sum
moned, and Capt. Williams, with two detectives,
arrived. They soon found the fre-escape led to
the room occupied by Gertrude Ash. The
window was partly open, and a detective en-
tered. He found Williams under the bed.
On going down stairs Williams made
frantic efforts to escape. Several
blows upon the head with a billy subdued him,
and he was handcuffed and taken to the police
station Gertrude Ash was also arrested and
locked up. She denied knowing Williams, and
said she was ignorant of his presence in the
house. It is learned, however, from the negro
colony" that Williams and Gertrude were con
sidered engaged. Williams is twenty-one years
old, and Ash nineteen About $500 worth of
iewelry and silverware was found in q pillow
case in the servants room.
