ROCKVILLE. Nd, July S.-John Hart,
colored, was brought here last evening
and lodged in jail, charged with commit
ting an outrageous assault on Mary e.
Walter, aged II, daughter of Mr.. George
B. F.Walter, a respectable farmer resid-
ing near the mouth OF Monocacy Creek
and the keeper oflock No. 4on the canal.
1t seems that Hart went to the house
while all the family we're absent except
the girl and assaulted her. She resisted
him and screamed for help, but he sue.
ceeded in overpowering her. The facts
were made known to Justice 8. G.
Donahoe, at Poolesville, this morning,
and the latter at once instructed Deputy
Sheriff James U. Miles to go in search
of the accused. Hart had made no at
attempt to leave the neighborhood, and
was arrested at the mouth OF the
Monocacy. He was taken to Rockville
this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Miles
and delivered to Sheriff Kelchner. The
whole matter was managed quietly, and
the prisoner was safely lodged in jail
before the facts became generally
known. There have been three similar
outragcs in Montgomery County In
recent years, the last near Rockville
three years ago, and In every case the
perpetrator was lynched. Hart evi
IDENTIFY anticipated similar fate, as hi
was very nervous and apprehensivt
after his arrest. He is q thick set, TO
bust mulatto, about 45 years Of age
Hurrying him to Jail saved him from
being lynched.

Bernhardt Roy cotted.

LONDON, July 8.-Members Of the
court and aristocratic circles have
steadily kept aloof from the Gaiety
Theatre during Bernhardts present
engagement at that house. The fact
has now transpired that a regular
movement to boycott the irrepressi-
BILE Parisienne has been set on foot, and
that it has been instigated by no less
parsonage than the Prince OF Wales.
In obedience to the Queens request the
Prince will attend no theatrical repre-
sentations this season, but his absence
from Mile. Bernhardt's performances
has a deeper significance than this.
The Prince of Wales, Princess Alex
andra and others, were intensely dis
gusted by the volleys of filthy epithets
interchanged in the two lampoons pub
lished last Winter by Marie Columbier
and Sarah Bernhardt, and entitled re-.
spectively "Sarah Barnum and
Marie Pigeonnier." 1t has, therefore,
been determined to punish the reputed
authoress of the last named atrocity,
and this is now being done by the de-
termined absence from the Gaiety boxes
of those leaders of fashion who would
have brought all the aristocratic world
of London in their train.

He Held the Fort.

On the fourth of July, Col. T. Q.
Hooten and family, Of West Chester,
spent the day on the banks Of the
romantic Brandywins. Arriving at a
cool and pleasant nook they prepared to
remain all day, by embarrassing their
horse and allowing him to Craze about
in close proximity to the carriage:
Soon after getting comfortably seated
and anticipating q good time, the plea
sure of the party was considerably
marred by the approach Of large and
ferocious bull, which filled their hearts
with terror. The bull steadily ad-
vanced toward tho group and acted as
though he meant to do the party injury.
In order to avoid battle with the bull
the Colonel was compelled to carry his
family across the stream to the opposite
side in order to avoid the angry bull.
The bull, however, was not 80 easily
gotten rid of, and he calmly held the
fort" until dark, when he took his de-
parture and the party were left to re-
cross the stream, and secure their
vehicle and journey home.

Tho rrench vino Crop.

NEW YORK, July ga letter from
Bordeaux says: The Department of
the Gironde escaped from the frosts Of
April. The shoots heightened, buds
opened suddenly, and the vines have
not looked 30 we'll for the past ten
years. Phylloxera has made its ap-
perance In some few of the vineyards
In the Medoc regions, which has hither-
to not been effected. The result Is pro-
prietors are pulling up the diseased
vines, and intend to replace them with
American vines.
Others are trying the remedy Of Mr..
H. Holthousen, of Jersey City n. j.,
/. g., by driving Q common nail into
the stem of the vine. There are already
over II, 400 acres of American vines un'
der cult yation in the department Of
the Gironde, and others intend TO re-
plant their vineyards with them on ac.
count of the resistance of the American
vines to phylloxera.
The total vine harvest In 1883, in the
Department of the Gironde, was 1867 >.
$50 hectic liters, An increase over that OF
1882 of 100000 Iiectoliters. The vim
tage of 1888, however, is classed among
the inferior vintages, on account Of the
wines being deficient in alcohol, body
and flavor.
The wine growers predict the crop Of
1884 to be abundant and excellent, and
from the appearance of the vineyards
at present It looks as If the period o
bad crops Is drawing to close.

FullO OF Music.

The city was full of music last night,
and in consequence the streets were un-
usually lively. While roaming about
the streets REPUBLICAN reporter first
noticed q brass band which ac-
ompanied moonlight excursion party
and played several lively tunes before
they em mbarked on the boat. Proceeding
out Second street, a fine orchestra was
heard discoursing excellent music at
Wagner's summer garden on Orange
street. Further out Second street q
party of stage struck artists were in the
rear of store practicing on q banjo.
tamborine, bones, ETC., with view OF
engaging in travelling minstrel show
In the near future. This music, how
ever, was not relished very highly by
the neighbors in the vicinity, and 1t is
to be hoped that they will make rapid
advancement, secure an early engage
ment and take the stage. To crown all
small boy, with a violin, was peram-
bulating along the sidewalk, drawing a
greasy bow over the strings of the in
strument, making some horrid sounds,
but very little music. The fife and drum
corps was also out in full force
and the heart of the small boy wal
happy.

The once modest Governor of New
York, who used to blush at praise of

REFORM"
The chairman of the Republican State
Committee of New Hampshire has re.
ceived explicit and absolute assurances
from all parts of the State that there ia
no Independent movement whatever in
New Hampshire, and that the DemO-
cratic talk about bolt from Mr.. Blaine
is the sheerest nonsense
The Cincinnati Volksblatt, in
trenchant editorial, exposes the insin-
cerity Of the unmarked free traders who
are assailing Mr.. Blaine's character, by
recalling their warm approval of his
appointment as Secretary Of State by
Garfield, whom they venerate. IfGar-
field was pure and noble man, says
The Volksblatt, his trusted friend and
adviser cannot be scoundrel "If
Mr.. Blaine was good enough for Secre.
tary Of State he is good enough for
President"

Last evening Melville Ga,nbrill, made
a very narrow escape at the new Mar
ket street bridge. He was driving
across, when the draw was opened to
allow the steamer Mary Morgan to pass

but when he reached this side his fur

gate, and he was shut in space OF
about fl fteen feet, with tho gate in front
and the open draw in the rear.
There were large number of persons
on the bridge to SEQ the boat pass
through, and the horse being frightened
with the music and noise became uD.
manageble, and as there was but about
one foot OF space behind the rear
wheel of the carriage and the edge Of

ance, and succeeded in holding the
frightened animal until others could
