ATTACKED by A BRUTAL MICRO.


Cornwal-on-thc-llulson is gcatly stirred up
abont a ncgIo's attempted crime. Miss Carrie smith,
handsome girl, about seventeen years
old, and the daughter of George Smith, retired
merchant, and one OF CornwaIIS richest ana
most influential residents. went 10 Havcrstraw on
Saturday morning to visit some friends. Her
brother. Paul Smith, agreed to meet her at the
railroad station when size returned IN the evening.
She arrived in Cornwall by Il later train than was
anticipated and her brother, surprising that she
had decided 10 stay all night with her friends, was
not at the station. Her fathers house Is a little
beyond the summit of a steep hill that runs down
TO the station The road lies through thick dark
woods and is about third Of mile long. The
night was of inky darkness. and Miss Smith
started to walk home She was approaching tic

over her mouth. and her cries were stopped. i hen

swearing th.' hc would kill her II she dld not stop
struggling. Despite his threats she scratched his
face ana tore his hair until her strength was
almost exhausted. Her dress was torn and her
limbs were cut and bruised In spite of the dark
ncs, she recognized her asSalant rs colorcd man.
She had almost yielded to terror and fatigue when
she heard somebody whlStlng as he dcScended the
hill. MASTERING her remaining strength she shrckrd
again and aeliu for help, and William Graham,
who was going toward the station, rushed to her
aid. Her aS,illant escaped INTO the woOIS.
Mis-, Smith was assisted home and a complaint
was at once made to Justice of the Peace lIollett
who caused the arrest OF Samuel Hill, 4 colored
man. who was seen short time before the assault

freshly and badly scratched, and he said that his
wounds were caused by fall from tree. lie was

The failure 10 receive any bids for the Dock bonds
was spoken OF by Controller Grant yesterday as
something that was not surprising under all Inc
These bonds have thirty years to run. and . per
cent is a low rate of interest. We do not desire 10
put ont any bonds at higher rate as 1t would
drive from the market the other 3 per ccnt bonds.
The Amorv bonds and the Schoo-honse bonds
have only fifteen or twenty years 10 nun and
were taken readily. but capitalists NJ this time
do not quickly take n thirty year bond The
approach of the election, too, makes them hcSl-
tate and causes unsettled state of affairs gen
orally. We have done pretty well so far IN pac-
ing our bonds at 3 per cent Formerly and per
cent interest was paid on such issues. and money
has been appropriated from the sinking fund for
such expenditures. instead of raising 1t on bonds,
and this can be done now on account OF the docks
but the demands are So great this year that we pre-
fer not to do 50. Tho Dock bonds may be disposed

from shallow artesIan well. Dr. Cyrus Edison

tive Of the news company SAID 10 4 IRBUNE rcpor-
ter Yesterday. we have used the water from this
well for six years and We never heard Of any com
plants until the Health Board sent man for u
sample of the water. We have 2GO men IN our en-
poy, and only one is away on 4 SICK leave, and
his trouble Is a boil on his arm
recent inspection and analysis Of all the bored
wells on Manhattan Island proved that OWING to
the geological formation of the island they were

Indians Fighting Each Other.

A dispatch from Wausau, Mich. states that news
has been received OF bloody fight between bands of
Chippewa and Pottawatomie Indians belonging in
reservations in that state. The fight took place
within the borders of what is known on the map
as the township Of Hull. A short time ago band
OF Pottawatomies and Menominees were en-
camped Tor q time In that section. The camp was
moved and subsequently a band OF Ch1ppewas en-
camped In the same place The difficulty began
when Two ponies belonging to the ChippewaS
strayed away into the camp OF the other indians
and were shot. The Chippewas assumed a hostile
attitude. which resulted in one OF their number
being shot by one Of the PottawatOmieS. A few
days later the two bands met In bloody hight in
which I'VE Of the cOmOatantS were killed
