An Infamous Assault.

At quarter before IL o'clock last night half
dozen roughs, who had taken part in the Dem
ocratlc procession, stopped in front of the
Chinese laundry at No 81 Massachusetts ave-
nue., and, becoming extremely boisterous as well
as abusive to the inmates, who were at
work, they were requested to move on. Hong
Dot, the Chinaman who made this reasonable
request, was set upon by the roughs and pint

face, where it broke, cutting him terribly,
An artery was cut and great
flow of blood followed, weakening him
greatly. In addition to the wounds in his
face, which will greatly disfgure him, the
tendons Of the thumb and forefnger of his right
hand were nearly severed. 1t will probably be
several weeks before he is in condition to work

Chairman Barnum's Conduct Four Years
Ago and Now.
NEW YORK, Nov. I.--An examination of the
record shows that in 1880 w. H Barnum, then
as now chairman of the national Democratic
committee, continued to claim the electoral vote
of New York State for nine days after the
election sending dispatches over his own name
to various newspapers, but not issuing any man
ifestos Two days after the election Barnum
cautioned people against crediting any re-
ports of the vote and declared that if
the Republicans we're sure of the State
they would not pursue the course
they did since it was only to insure pretended
majority, and that only the official vote could de-
eide He was especially severe on John J.
O'Brien. who then, as now. chief of the
bureau of elections. He wanted to impress on
everybody that no reliance could be placed on
the vote of New York city as returned from po-
lice headquarters. These police returns are the
same on which this year, before any attempt at
verifeation had been made or the official count
begun, Barnum issued his incendiary appeal to
Democrats to celebrate their victory"

the political situation:
Il think that PROCLAMATION of Mr. Barnum

My opinion is there ought not to be single gun

too close for either party to claim the State with
absolute-c certainty. This is not the time for in

The HYori, of Yesterday.

New YORK, Nov n.-Midnight-Up to this
hour the result of the ballot for presidential
electors has been declared in thirty three of the
sixty counties of this State. The last
previous reports of county clerks
showed a Democratic plurality of
go. To-day's canvass shows net loss to Blaine
of four votes. The remaining p counties, with
two exceptions reported progress, and will for the
most part, report the result of their canvass to
morrow. To-day's reports speak of irregularities
in form, but no mention is made of any serious
discrepancy in count Several counties which
did not to-day complete their official can
vass, report that there was no reason
for belief that, when completed, the figures
would show any change from those already
given. The canvassed returns received by the
countless indicated change of six votes in favor
of Blaine against sixty in Livingston, in favor
of Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l--n some of the sug-
gestions made by Democratic members are fol-
lowed, the next House of Representatives will be
organized without any trouble or expense to any
body. tits proposed that another term be given
each officer and that such determination be
announced far enough in advance to cut off can
didates
There is no reasonable doubt that Speaker
Carlisle will be e-elected in any event, without
opposition. The only dissatisfaction apparent
with any other officer is Sergeant-at-arms Lee
dom, and that may be overcome. 1t will be a
novelty to have a reorganization of the House
with but one candidate in the field for each
place.
To the Western Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Nov. 11.-Secretary Mcpherson
says that, according to his figures, subject to cor
rection, but not likely to be changed, the Demo
Gratis will have 1888 members in the next House,
the Republicans al, and the Greenbackers i,
(Weller.) This gives the Democrats majority
of forty-orre over all. The Republicans gain
twenty-five over their present representation,
the Democrats lose seventeen, and the Green
hackers or Independents lose four
An analysis of the undisputed returns to the
Forty ninth Congress shows that of the forty-one
Democratic members of the House who voted
against considering the Morrison tariff bill only
eighteen have been elected, while of the Isl
Democrats who voted for the motion to consider
the Morrison bill nearly 100 are reelected. On
the basis of these figures the supporters of the
Morrison tariff bill will perhaps be found TO be
increased in the Forty ninth Congress.

A ST. LOUIS GIRLS JOURNEY.
Stealing Her Way ON Flat and Box-Cars
from Indiana to Georgia.
Atlanta Special.

fron lnolan3 TO GeoFSf6s
Atlanta Special.
On the extreme western end of Foundry street
curiosity seekers win now find young woman
who made the trip from St Louis to Atlanta in
box-car. The name Of the girl who performed
this remarkable freak is Maggie Ferguson She
is about fifteen years of age and is decidedly
pretty. She arrived in Atlanta Friday morning
having made the trip from Nashville to Atlanta
in locked boxcar, from which she was released
in the Western and Atlantic railroad yard. Soon
after leaving the car she approached Captain
Grim, who was then on Alabama street. to whom
she said that she was stranger in the
city, and that she wanted to find some
relatives who lived in Atlanta She did not
present the neatest appearance when she ap-
preached Captain Grim Her wearing apparel
was somewhat soiled and the valse she carried
in her hand looked as though it had passed
through several campaigns She informed
Captain Grim that her name was Maggie Fer
guson, and said she was looking for family of
the same name. Captain Grim secured a city
directory, and among the many Fergusons
therein found the one the young woman was in
quest of. They resided on Foundry street, and
to that place the Captain conducted her. On
his way the girl electrified the Captain by telling
him that she ran away from her home in st.
Louis, and that she had ridden all the way from
St Louis to Atlanta on freight trains
Your correspondent met the young girl, who
has bright blue eyes and golden hair When the
reporter made his mission known, and asked her
to tell about her trip, she quickly responded. As
pleasant smile played about her mouth and
her eyes looked straight into those before her,
she said: Yes, l did make the trip, and it
wasn't such hard task as you might suppose.
You see my father was not kind to me, and 1
left home. He is a mason by trade, and lives on
Tenth street. My mother is dead and because
/ objected to him marrying again he treated me
cruelty. knew Of Uncle Ike living here, but
had never seen him, and determed to come. 1
put some clothing in valise of
my brothers who gave me S. and
got conductor on freight-tr to carry me to
Evansville. You see my brother is railroad
man, and he knew the conductor, who let me
ride in his cab. At Evansville / paid for my
ride over the river to Henderson, and one night
1 got on fiat car, and next day was in Nash
vile. There got in box-car 1t was locked
afterwards, and for three days l was in there
without any water, but had lunch and did not
suffer 1 knew the car was coming to Atlanta
and that would get out; but you ought to have
seen the man when he opened the car and saw
me- He was so aweully scared that was bit
afraid
Miss Ferguson says she will remain in Atlanta
and not go back home.
