Made on a Young colored Wo-
man on Charles Street
BY A STRANGER LAST NIGHT.
The Assallant Driven or by Neigh,
bOrs, hut Escapes Without Being
Captured-He is Accompanied
by a Fierce Dog

About 8 o'clock last evening one of
the boldest and most dastardly assaults
ever attempted in this vicinity was COM
mitted by an unidentified man on q
young cOlored girl, The assault occur
red on Charles street, and while not
close enough to any house to make dis
coyery sure, II was SO near several
dwellings as to be almost reckless, The
victim was Laura Taylor, q respectable
and comely young eolored girl, gradu'
ate Of Professor Jones's grammar school
in the class OF 'ss, and a very popular
young girl with the people OF her race.
The girl was walking down Charles
street to go from the residence Of her
parents to that Of her aunt, for whom
she had promised to write q letter, She
was entirely unconscious Of any danger,
and when q man approached from the
other direction she paid no attention to
him. a.
When he came abreast OF her, he
seized her and threw her down, grasping
her throat In such a way that she could
not yell at first, but she quickly man.
aged to recover her voice and screamed
as loud as she could,
The man used her roughly, but she
screamed the louder, and shortly Ad
Case, a well known colored man who
lives near, heard her screams and came
to the rescue. The assailant was accom-
panied by a large and vicious dog, which
ut once attacked Case, and kept him
pretty busy, unarmed as he was.
Ed Newman, another young Colored
man, was in Cases house, and as the
screaming continued, he seized poker
and rushed out. The man had risen to
bis feet by this time, and turned on
Newman, who struck him q heavy blow
on the head. The man then let 60 OF
the girl and ran, followed by the dog,
The two colored men remained to see
how badly the girl was injured, and her
brutal assailant escaped,
None OF the three knew tho man. The
girl said he was OF less than average
height, heavily built, and spoke with a
marked German accent. The presence
Of the dog with him might lead to his
Identification.
The girl WIS not hurt, except slightly
by being thrown down. Her clothing was
somewhat torn, and she suffered cruelty
from fright. But for the timely arrival
OF aid she could not have escaped,
The peculiar boldness Of the attack
made some comment The assailant is
believed to have been a stranger in the
CitV.

INJUNCTION GRANTED
In the Suit Of Arbenz Against
the w, & H, R, R, Co.
JUDGE PAULES DECISION
Rendered at Yesterdays Session of
tts Circuit oopPt-Tho Railroad
Forbidden to Grade Away
Twentieth Street,

In the Circuit Court yesterday Judge
PAUL rendered his decision in the case
Of Arbenz against the Wheeling 4 Har-
risburg Railway Company, The ipiunc-
ton prayed for by Arbenz, restraining
the company from grading down TWEEN
tieth street so as to leave the surface
AUDITING on the ArbenZ furniture fac
tory about half its present width, was
granted,
IT will be remembered that Mr.. Ar
benz applied for the injunction on the
ground that the proposed operations Of
the railroad company at that point
would seriously affect his rights as an
owner Of property abutting on Twentieth
street. The railroad company's defense
was that they had been granted the
right TO grade their track on that street
by Council, and that they proposed to
leave q sufficient portion Of the surface
Of the street for all practical purposes,
Judge PAUL reviews the case, and
takes up the legal questions involved IN
detail. He takes 1t that the company's
answer establishes that 1t meant TO grade
as the complainant alleged upon the
street, leaving portion OF the surface
uncovered.
The ordinance passed January IS, 1880,
grants the company the right 10 grade
there. The authority for this ordinance
in found In section so, subsection Q, OF
chapter 81 OF the State code. This pro.
vision OF law has been passed upon by
the Supreme Court OF Appeals, in the
case OF the Gas Company vs., Parkers.
burg (9Oth w. VA In that decision
and others by other courts which are
quoted, II Is held that the Legislature
authorizes a municipal corporation TO
grant right OF way along, but not upon
or under a street, and that the Legisla-
turedid notcontemplate empowering cor
porations to grant the right to digup the
streets and leave a portion Of the surface
unrestored, A grant Of such character
can only convey such rights rs are ex.
pressly given, or US are necessary and
essential to the exercise OF those rights.
1t may be convenient or desirable for
the company in exercising In this case
the rights conveyed by Council, TO grade
away q portion OF the street and leave 1t
unrestored, but 1t Is not necessary, nor
can the Council legally grant the right to
do SO. The injunction is therefore
granted.
Mr.. II. NJ. Russell represented the
plaintiff and,NIr. w. P. Hubbard the de-
PENDANT. 1t Is not known what further
steps the railroad company will take in
the matter to secure q right ofway along
that portion OF their route. 1t may be
necessary to buy the furniture factory
and defect the route TO that extent.

It Is believed that never before has a
life insurance company presented such q
record Of o years work accomplished as
that set forth In the Annual Statement
OF the Equitable Life Assurance Society

conception Of such numbers as $550,00O,-
