Commits an Outrage on the Person
OF Young Lady at South Lake

Commits an Outrage on the Person
ofa Young Lady at South Lake
Wfer.
The section of South Lake Wier, OF
the Florida Southern railway, was
thrown into intense excitement Monday
night and yesterday, the occasion being
the report that horrible assault and
outrage had been committed on the per.
son of young lady in the settlement by
a negro fiend.
An unknown negro had been seen
thereabouts for several days, and about
ten O'Clock Monday night he went to the
house of Mrs. Hopkins, near South
Lake Wier, and after several futile at
tempts, finally succeeded in entering,
and robbed the house of about $50. His
conduct was such that the inmates :
Mrs. Hopkins and her eighteen year old
daughter.-were terror stricken and power
less. The negro's intentions were plainly
not robbery alone, for after getting tie
money he, by main force, dragged the
young lady some distance into the woods
surrounding the house, and the treat
ment she received at the hands of her
fiend 'sh prosecutor was such as is calcu-
lated to borrow up the soul of the cold
est hearted.
The neighborhood was soon frenzied
with excitement, and early yesterday
morning twenty armed and mounted
men were going in every direction seek
ing the negro who had committed the
deed.
Conductor Newell got description of
the negro, and on his return to the city
yesterday afternoon saw two negroes sit
ting on log near the line Of the road,
and stopping his train, arrested them
both. One of the negroes SO perfectly
answered the description that Mr.. New
ell is confident he has the right man.
The companion of the believed-to- be-
guilty negro, says they slepted near
South Lake Wier the night before and his
companion left him soon after he had
retired, and he saw him no more until
to-day. Mr.. Newell feels confident that
he has the right man.
At Rochell Mr.. Newell turned his pris-
oners over to Mr.. Powell and Mr.. Nc
Aliister, of that place, and from there
they will be retuned to South Lake
Weir, and IL Identified, the guilty one
Will be, no doubt, held to account for
his conduct. There is considerable ex-
element over the matter.

Chicago Inter-Ocesn.
There lives in New York, said q recent
importation from the east, newspaper
man who is striking illustration of
what love-making through the papers
may accomplish. He is now gray
bearded man of leisure, but years and
years ago he was struggling young edi-
toriai writer on western paper. He
wrote with good deal of eapnestness on
sentimental topics. Having conceived
an earnest, devoted, absorbing love for
young lady, and knowing that she was
greatly interested in certain lines Of work
and thought, he mana yed to put his
heart in his editorials for her benefit.
10 not mean that he did not write for
the public, but that he wrote for the pub
lie better because of the warmth in his
heart toward the woman he loved.
At the same time he was carrying fow-
ard an ideal character in a series of
sketches. He had pictured this young
lady SO plainly that many recognized her
as the heroine of his romance. But so
tenderly, so delicately was the character
handled that any one might have felt
flattered at all that was said. In fact
the lady herself was in the habit of say
ing that she was content to be regarded
as the character so finely pictured. But
in time the heroine was carried toward
the hero of the story IN way to leave
open the question of her regard. and
there the sketches were broken off. At
this time the writer was the bluest man
lever saw.
He told me that he had come to q
crisis in his affairs. He had carried the
discussion in his editorials to point
where he was in danger of showing tC
the public his attachment to the idea
who had inspired all of his work on tha
line. He could not take .he story of hi
sketches any further without limiting a
a denounment that might be very of
fensive to this Lady who had been kiut
enough to be pleased with his pictures o
the ideal woman. There was only ONT
way out of the trouble, and that was t
tell the object of his love how highly he
regarded her. He did this in one of tn
most beautiful letters that 1 haye an,
recollection of, and in six months hi;
ideal woman was his wife.

Monday night as the east-bound pas
senger train on the Florida Railway and
Navigation line was approaching White
House station, the engineer saw lar Se
pile of crossties n, ar the track, on fire.
The wind was blowing at a lively rate,
and the fire soon spread and crossed the
track, setting the ties on the roadbed
aflame. After delay of three hours,
the train was enabled to pass the place,
and soon reached Jacksonville. The au-
thorities of the road have their eyes
open, and if the miscreants who perpe.
trated this outrage are caught they will
wear convict uniforms for the benefit of

ACLEAN CAMPAIGN.

SO far as concerns the part that the
REGISTER shall take in it, the CAM
paign of 1886 is ended. In looking
back over this campaign we cannot
but "point with pride" to the straight
forward, honorable course that has
been taken by the republican party of
this county. The perfect fairness,
courtesy and respect with which the
democratic candidates have been treat
ed, not only by the REGISTER but by
all the other republican papers and by
the republican speakers on the stump,
is almost unprecedented and is certain
ly in marked contrast to the utterly
contemplate, inscriptions and out
rageous attacks that have been made
upon the republican candidates by the
democratic organs. And this forbear-
ance upon the part of the
republicans has not been inspired
BY any lack of confidence in
the personal character of their own can.
didates, or because it would not have
been possible for them to have found
vulnerable points in their opponents.
There is not q candidate on the repub-
lican ticket whose record has spot or
blemish. And if the republicans had
been willing to descend to demagoguery
and utilization, they would not have
been without material for mud singing.
The republicans adopted the course
they have pursued simply because
they have faith in the intelligence, the
good sense and the decency of the peo-
pie of Allen county. They believe
that the people Of this county are gov
erned by reason and not by rant.
They believe that they appreciate fair
ness and decency in politics as well as
in other things.
Believing this they have conducted
. straightforward, honorable campaign
on the political issues that divide the
parties, free from personal abuse and
vituperation. So far as appears from
the utterances of the official organs oil
the opposition this courtesy and con-
sideration have been as peafls cast be-
fore swine. But they are willing to
rest their case with the people and they |
confidently look forward to a republic
can victory next Tuesday, that shall |
mean not only vindication of repub-
lican principles, but an emphatic en-.
dorsement of clean, fair and honorable |
methods in politics.
