A Bad Barber.

WACO, Tex, March 27.-Tom Burney, colored
barber, was arrested yesterday and taken before
the grand jury, charged with an attempt to COM
nit rape upon the person OF Maggie SchHster, a
respectable German girl and servant in the family
OF Mr.. Joseph Eikel, on Austin Street. 1t seems
that Burney has been in the habit of meeting
Maggie and OF accosting her. The simple-minded
German lassie thought nothing of it, and several
times he spoke to her as he was passing by on
the street. The good natured girl still thought no
evil of Tom On Wednesday night between IL
and II O'Clock, according to Miss Sehuster's state
ment. Burney entered her room in Mr.. EikepS
residence by raising window. and, approaching
announced his attention of Outraging her.
She attempted to cry out and offered what resist
ance she could, when her assailant told her to
a razor. She again attempted to make an outcry,
and the negro released his hold and made his eS-
cape. The officers were informed of the occur
name Miss Schuster did not know, and yesterday
morning they spotted Burney as the man. He
was arrested, and upon being confronted by Miss
Sebuster she positively identified him as the par
ty who had on previous occasions accOSted her,
and on Wednesday night attempted violence upon
her. Burney is in jail, and the Grand Jury is dis
cuSsing his case Miss Schuster is some twenty
four or twenty-five years old, and has borne a
most excellent reputation. III the above facts are
proven, Burney will probably be given an oppor-
tunity to practice the tonsorial art upon fellow
convicts in the Penitentiary before long

Alleged Deathbed Confession of a ''Boodle'
Alderman.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The most sensational
rumor yet started in regard TO the Broad
way franchise steal was hoated yesterday and
created some excitement. The story is that a
statement in writing, signed on his deathbed by
one OF the aldermen who advocated the fran
ehise. has been handed to District Attorney
MARITIME by near friend OF the Alderman re-
feTred to. It is said that the statement contains
a history of the Broadway steal, giving names
and de- ties and other facts which will be sufficient
to convict all the "boOdle' aldermen and other
persons backing the railroad.
Ex-Alderman James Pearson, who was exam
ined so fercely by Mr.. COnkling last Friday, is
said to be very much frightened and TO be making
effortsto secure bondsmen in case of an emer-
gency. He applied to prominent business man,
and, when met with searching inquiry as to the
facts, it is reported that he replied:
81 am not guilty of accepting brides. Now sup
pose you were sitting in a restaurant and your
coat and hat hanging on the rack beside you; sup
pose some person put ten 81 900 bills in your peck
ct, and, picking up your hat you found ten more
ia that. Would you advertise tor an owner, or
would you say nothing about il at all? / don't
think that should be called upon to hop around
town for the owner"
His friend advised him to seek elsewhere for a
bondsman.
Alderman Jaehne resigned mis- membership in
the County Democracy organization tonight and
il is confidently reported that he will resign from
the Board of Aldermen at the next meeting o;

about the character of HAMLET, PR1NCEOF
DENMARK: Artists have pictured IL, poets
have rhymed II, and actors have portrayed
il upon the stage and made themselves
famous. but lot, until now, has such true
and artistic picture been offered at price
within the reach of all. In the foreground
of the engraving is seen Hamlet, in -inky
cloak and suit of solemn black" He STANDS
close to fair and lovely Ophelia, the one he
loved, but put away from his heart that he
might let nothing interfere with his motives
of revenge. In this thrilling picture these
two form a study by themselves. Ophelia,
clinging to Hamlet and her eyes raised TO
his, in wonder and fear for the passion ex-
pressed i'm his face, for while his face is
turned toward her ne is pointing TO the play
on the stage. ana his counteBance shows
that the storm Of passion is raging in his
soul. On the mimic stage is the cloaked and
hooded murderer seen dropping "the cursed
hobenon, in the brothers ear with careful
and malignant steadiness. Between Hamlet
and this stage sit the guilty pair-the King
and Queen. The King with every muscle
ready to help him flee from before the signt

The Distressing OUTLOOK Last Night

CHARLESTON, Sept AT a quarter past
o'clock this evening" when thousands of the peo-
pie of Charleston were out in the open squares
and vacant places of the city, lingering and re-
signed to another night Of anxiety, fear and tor
ror, the premonitory symptoms of an earth
quake were heard and felt in slight vibratory
wave and shock that passed along un-
der the city. No additional damage or
wreckage on buildings followed, but men
women and children out in the open places were
for while greatly alarmed. Fortunately the
weather has been pleasant and the privations
and hardships attending outdoor exposures not
severe. However, the situation is becoming
desperate, with whole city camped out in
terrible state of fear. 1t is now twenty four
hours since the first earthquake shock visited
this unfortunate city, The negroes have taken
possession of all the parks and vacant places,
and are holding excited prayer meetings.
1t may be stated now that all the damage to
property and all loss of life was caused by the
first shock, at 9:55 o'clock last night, but, owing
to the repeated shocks and lack of systematic
effort to unearth casualties, it is impossible to
give details Many of the dead, it is believed
are yet buried in the debris and no regular re-
lief parties have been organized to recover their
bodies. Unfortunately, the Mayor of the city
is now in Europe, and his place is indifferenty
filled. The chief of police, too, it seems, is un-
able to meet the emergencies.
9P M.-The situation shows no improvement
up to this hour The problem of shelter is a
serious one for the sick and wounded people, and
the women and children, but as the weather is
fine there is not much actual suffering among the
great mass of people on this score The princi-
pal danger just at present seems to be that the
food supply may give out. AL
ready there is great scarcity of
food, and none can be obtained
from outside the city, as all railroad communi-
cation is shut off. 1t is stated by the railroad
managers that there is not a single road out of
here in running condition. The convulsions of
the earth arc said to have wrecked the tracks so
completely that there is not a stretch
for miles around that is not twisted
out of shape, so as to make it impossible
to run an engine over it Many people will
sleep tonight on board the steamers and sailing
vessels in the harbor, but only small proper
ton of the homeless can be thus accommodated.
The rest will have 70 spend another night under
the stars, dreading another earthquake. Com
plants of hunger and the dread of starvation
are heard all sides, as an addition to the hor-
rors of the situation.
HAS P. M.-Repeated shocks Of earthquake OF
o mild character are passing to the west of the
city. A rumbliDg noise can be heard distinstly,

STAR ISLAND,

mlCh', Oct. ~, 90.
This is the great resort for amateur and
professional anglers OF this section of the
country and a very pleasant resort il il too,
when fishing is good but just at present il
somewhat resembles cemetery for quiet
meas. The season for li4hing with hook
and line is at mn end here. The island ia
quite pretty place, but the highest roint
ul lnnd is but few feet above the level of
the st. Clair river. 1t contains n large
summer hotel, boat houses and bath houses.
IL is great resort for Detroit sportsmen,
being easy OF nccess from that city by
steamer. Adjacent TO the island are the
great ST, Clair marshes, and il would seem

what conditions he could return, and was
very promptly snubbed by that official.
Star Island is constantly gaming favor
in the eyes Of the sporting public. and 1t is
only question of few years when it will
be one of the most popular pleasure reso rts
in the west.
But / started 10 say something about fsh.
few weeks since saw the best place
have ever run across for fishing with hook

shore of Belle Isle, IN the Detroit river,
and see countless thousands of fish, nearly
all foot or more in length. Oh, what a
picture that would have been for some oi

water seemed 10 be alive with fish, and SO
II WAS. The cause of il was this: 1t is on
the fishing grounds of S. II. Davis, ol
Detroit, and board fence of considerable
lengeth is built out into the river. As
fast rs the fish are caught in the seines
they are dumped into the enclosure, and
when visited the place it was said to con.
tain over 100000 fish, nearly all herring
that being the only fish caught in the river
al this time of the year. They are kept in
this "pen" until wanted at the packing
