Saved by Her Dog.

Last Thursday afternoon, Miss Katie
Gray, daughter of Mr.. d. c. Gray, a
prominent farmer Of Baltimore county,
Nd, was assaulted by IL colered man
named Howard Cooper and terribly
beaten and maltreated. When about
half mile from her home, the negro at
tackled her. AS he advanced toward her,
with a heavy club In his hand, the
young lady picked up Il stone and, dis
playing wonderful nerve, threw it at
the colOred man, inllicting an ugly
wound just above the left eye. Cooper
then seized the lady and dragged her
through the woods for over three hum
dred yards. AT the same time he beat
her numerically with his fist in the
face, neck and breast, and then he threw
her OH the ground.
The young lady is a bright and pretty
young woman, a school teacher and the
belle of the rural district in which she
resides. She was educated at the Balti-
more Female College aud her character
is irreproachable. She fought her as
sailant desperately, and, when over
come, knelt down at his feet and prayed
to God to pity her. The rufiian stood
over her in an unconcerned atJitIde and
when she finished again raised his
bludgeon. Then she gave one last de-
spairing shrek, which was heard at her
home, but not understood by any one
at the time.
A large Scotch shepherd dog, how
ever, heard the cry and sprang across
all intervening corn field. When the
young woman saw the dog she sprang
to one side aud with last effort ran
towards her protector. Cooper follow
cd, but the dog sprang between them.
Cooper threw his club at the dog and
fled down the ravine without having ac-
complished his purpose. The girl tot
tered across the corn field, faintlng
twice on the way, and the barking of
her dog called the family to the front
porch, where she lay insensible.
The father seized his shotgun and,
riding into the village, called for volun-
teers to search for the culprit. Every
able-bodied man responded, and the de-
termination was expressed to lynch the
fiend II he was caught. The sheriff cap
tured him, aud lodged him in Jail,
though there are still threats TO take
him out aud hang him. Miss Gray will
recover.

FAST Railroad Schedules.

The present promises to be the year
for the Inauguration OF the fastest rail
road schedules ever known in the his
tory of railroading in this country.
New York will be the objective point
of this competition in speed. While
the Pennsylvania Railroad continued to
charge five dollars extra for travel by
its fast Chicago limited express the
other roads submitted with more or less
grumbling. But now the Pennsylvania
has thrown down the gauntlet by start
ing u new fast express without extra
charge that runs from New York 10
Chicago in rs hours and 30 minutes.
The other roads are preparing to meet
this time, and railroad man said yes
terday that the time has no. yet come
for any line to claim the fastest time.
The New York Central proposes to
knock some hours from its present Chi
cago schedule, and the others are look
ing in the same direction. A time con-
yention is to meet in st. Louis this week
to fix up the Western schedules, and III
thirty days, when the spring changes
come along, there will be general
quickening of running in all directions.
The competition for Baltimore and
Washington business between the Penn
sylvania aud Baltimore and Ohio Roads
will be as sharp as that for New York
travel between the lines out of that city.

A Big Fire In Baltimore.

Fire broke out last Friday night in
the mansard roof Of the six-story iron
warehouse No. 242 West Baltimore
street, Baltimore, occupied by Wiesen-
fold & Co., manufacturers Of clothing.
FLAMES were seen issuing from the Gu
pola, and before the Fire Department
could get to work the entire roof was
burning fiercely. Owing to the height
of the building it was impossible to
reach the fire with water Until the two
upper floors were completely Quilted
and the roof had fallen in. The fire
was prevented from spreading, but
much valuable stock was ruined by
water. The firm carried the largest
stock in the city, which they valued at
from $175, 900 to s2O0,OOo They are
insured for $2l4, 900. Their loss by fire
and water will probably reach s75, 900.
Wiesedfold & Co.'S building is damaged
from SIS, 900 to sec, 900.

Killed by al Failing Sign.

At Pittsburg, about three o'clock
Sunday afternoon, during the momen-
tary prevalence Of wind-storm, large
sign Oh the roof of Murphy's book store,
No. 532 Grant street, was wrenched
from its fastenings and thrown, together
with several hundred bricks, to the
pavement below, the mass catching in
its fall two young ladies W no were pass
ing, named Bella Cousley and Agnes
John. OIL, and an old man named Dennis
McCarty. Miss Cousley was killed al
most instantly, the sign striking her OH
the head and crushing her skull. Miss
Johnson when picked up was in con-
dition ofinsensibility, but soon revived.
Her head was badly cut, her nose and
both legs broken and her body terribly
bruised. Her injuries, however, are
not considered fatal. McCarty escaped
with some slight cuts and bruises.

Not 80 had, Alter All.

The Panhandle Ne,cs, in speaking of
the vast amount Of idle talk INDUCED in
about high taxes in West Virginia, says
truly that a comparison shows that they
are much less than in other States. The
tax per capita in West Virginia is 1928;
In New England States the average is
$lO.45: in the Middle States 1858; in
the Western States 1897, and in the
whole United States the average tax per
capita is 1928. The little Democratic
State Of Delaware is the best OF in this
respect in the Union, there being no
State tax at all on real or personal prop
erty. There is no debt, and the income
from lice nses and railroads is more than
sufficient to pay current expenses.

A Kiss Causes Trouble.

Edmund Law Rogers, one of Balti-
more's millionaires, was arrested last
week on a warrant sworn out by Pedro
5. Moran, Il young medical student at
the Maryland University, charging as
sault and battery. The assault was
made in Moran's boarding house, on
North Charles street. Rogers alleges
that the young man grossly insulted
his niece by kissing her against her
will, and he called at the boarding
house with rawhide TO either compel
an apology or chastise Moran. The lat
ter became angry and an exciting en-
counter ensued. Moran was severely
punished. Moran does not deny having
made advances to the lady. He says
that she did not show any displeasure
until he attempted to kiss her, when she
said: 81 will tell uncle Edmund" Mr..
Rogers is worth several millions dol
lars. He is member of the leading
clubs aud has been judge at the races
of the Maryland Jockey Club every
season for four or five years. He is
about 90 aud Moran is %.

The Road MAST Pay Up.

A decision was rendered by the Su-
preme Court of the United States mt
Washington on Monday last in the tax
case of the Chesapeake am'i Ohio Rail
road Company, plaintiff in error, against
Joseph y. Miller, auditor of the State OF
West Virginia; in error to the Supreme
Court of Appeals of that State. The
question raised by this case is the con-
stitutionality of All act Of the legisla-
ture of West Virginia, passed March 'th'
1879, subjecting the property OF the
railroad company To taxation. The COM
pamy maintains that by nm act OF tht
legislature of March lst, 1865, entitled
ian act to incorporate the Covingt"n
and Ohio Railroad Company" and All
other act, passed February 26th, 1867,
authorizing that company to consolidate
with the chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company, il as the successor OF the lat
ter corporation, was exempted from tax
alton. so long as its profits should not
amount to ten per cent. of its capital;
and that the subsequent act imposing
taxation, irrespective Of this condition,
is void, because it impairs the obliga-
lion of "A contract. This court holds
that the acts from which the plaintiff
in error derives its corporate existence
and mowers i'm West Virginia do not
contain renewal of the grant of exemp-
ton from taxation, contained in tho
seventh section of the act Of March LIST,
1886; that the present company can IN
no sense be regarded as the Identical
corporate body of which it became the
successor, and that all it's rights rs
corporation, other than the title to the
property it acquired by the judicial
sale, had their origin in and depended
upon an act passed in 1871 and amended
in 1877. Such being the case, the pres
ent company's charter rests upon
general law which the constitution OF
the State declares to be subject to alter
alton and amendment, and therefore the
exercise of legislative discretion in the
matter of taxation cannot be complain
ed of rs II breach of contract. The de-
cree of the Supreme Court Of Appeals OF
West Virginia is affirmed. Opinion by
Mr.. Justice Matthews.

Had Oh sicnaGeries.

The superintendent of the Philadel-
phia Geological Garden said that on ac-
count of the war in the Soudan no ami
mails can be exported from that pal of
Africa. He said: "Lions are very high
now. A good pair OF African lions are
worth ", 900 OF more. Most of the hip
popotami come from Nubia and the
northwestern part Of Africa. Ii all the
hippopUtaIni in this country were to
die, we couldn't get any more for IL
long time. Last year there were thir-
teen of these animals in the United
states; now there are only eight. Then
there's the prospective war in Asia, that
will cut off another wild animal pro-
ducing country if John Bull and the
Gar conclude to fight. Giraiies come
from the Soudan, and there are four gi-
raffes in this country now. We have
one OF them. Two baby gralies, only
seven feet high, sold recently for 81, 900.
It's almost impossible to put price
on the animals now, they are so scarce"
