THE DOCTORS ALMOST LAID UP.
Worn Out by the Unprecedented Calls
ON Them Since Inauguration.

~ have only three cases Of pneumonia un-
der my care" said prominent physician to a
STAB reporter, "but have more calls on my
time and attention by people who have colds Of
all degrees Of severity than I can possibly at
tend to. A great majority Of these colds were
contracted on Inauguration day. Two days
after Inauguration they poured in on me in
such numbers that began to think the process
sion was still marching and had laid out route
through my house. In all my previous expert
ence have never known such a rush. / have
not been out Of my carriage before II o'clock
any night for nearly fortnight, and. as you
see, / am now almost too tired to talk. And
during this time l have been forced to go to
bed every night feeling that had not finished
my days work. 1t was Just physically impos-
sible for me to answer all the calls"
doctor, there is popular impression. that
in cases where people recover from pneumonia
the lungs are always left in q weakened state.
Is this correct?" asked the reporter.
mo, it il not" the physician answered.
"Where the lungs are left in a weakened con-
dition it is because the general constitution
was impaired or the lungs were more or less
diseased before the attack of pneumonia, and
complete restoration could not take place. But
where the patient was in good condition before
pneumonia was contracted the lungs on re-
covery are left clear as a whistle. have q
pneumonia patient now who is seventy-five
years old. His whole left lung is hepatized,
but he has q good constitution and will recover.
II person has fairly good constitution pneu-
monia leaves no permanent after effects"

A DASTARDLY ASSAULT.
A Negro knocks . Woman Down, Robs
and Attempts to Outrage Her.


bold robbery and attempted outrage was
perpetrsted last night on Miss Mary wheeler,
seamstress, who lives ct 10th and II streets
northeast The crime was committed ON
vacant lot near the corner Of eth and streets
northeast, between 8 and 10 O'Clock, and had il
not been for the arrival Of two citizens in
answer to her screams the woman would no
doubt have Jared badly at the hands Of the
buriy negro. The spot II q vacant lot where
the boys play baseball. There ID . NARROW
path across the lot which IL travelled BY persons
in that locality in taking . short cut to their
homes The affair created considerable ex-
element in the northeastern section Of the
city, and had the negro been captured he would
certainly have Jared roughly at the hands OF
the excited citizens. The number Of similar
assaults committed In that section increases
the feeling Of the citizens toward the scoundres,
and they think that an example made OF one
OF them would have
GOOD EFFEcr on OTHERS.
Miss Wheeler had frequently taken q short
cut across the path, and never having been
molested she had no fears when she started
that way last night She had been visiting
friends on Capitol Hill, and IL was about half
past o'clock when she arrived at 9Th and
streets. There was no one in sight 80 far as
she knew, but she had not gone far across the
lot before she heard footsteps behind her. The
moon was shining brightly at the time and a
person, unless in hiding, could have been seen
for the distance OF q square or more. When
Miss Wheeler heard the footsteps she was not
at all alarmed, but for fear of being insulted
she quickened her footsteps. She had not
proceeded many steps before she was overtaken
by negro who dealt her stunning blow in
the face. Then the negro put his hand across
her mouth to prevent her from making an
outcry.
SHE MADE DESPERATE STRUGGLE
to regain her liberty. She succeeded in remov-
ing his hand from her mouth and screamed for
assistance. Her cries were heard by two
gentlemen who were passing along 18th street
and who fastened to her assistance, but before
they reached the scene her assailant made his
escape. The negro took Miss Wheeler's satchsl
with him. When the men reached the injured
lady they found that her mouth was bleeding
and two or three teeth had been loosened by
the blow inflicted by the negro. She was assisted
to her home. Miss Wheeler thinks that she will
be able to identify the negro. She describes
him as being about twenty or twenty-five years
old with smooth face. He wore q jockey cap
at the time of the assault. The police expect
to catch him, as q negro answering the descrip-
ton given was seen in bar-room in that
section OF the city after the assault had been
committed, and II is supposed that he is in hid
ing somewhere in that vicinity.

Nothing Left But His ssGun.n

YOUNG wAsHINoToNIAN BACK FROM THE WEST
SAYS HE has BEEN ROBBED HERE.
Edward Lyston was born in this city about
twenty-five years ago. He left here when quite
young and went west to grow up with the ooun-
try. He succeeded in his undertaking. He
located at Forest City, Mon, where he earned
some money, and last week he returned on
visit to his mother. He had with him e15O in
cash, . gold watch and chain and the indis-
pensable article Of the northwest known a.
'.gun." What he most enjoyed when he came
here was change Of whisky. The change did
not, however, agree with him. While under its
influence he was relieved Of his watch and
money, but his 'gun" was left in his pocket
While still showing signs Of having taken
too much liquor he went TO the
Globe theater yesterday afternoon and hired
. private box. He became disorderiy and
wanted TO clear ont the audience, or o part Of
1t, but before he succeeded he was arrested by
Special Policeman Beagle, who locked him up
ct the first precinct station. When tried in the
Police Court this morning Judge Miller sus-
pended the case until the young mans claim
that he was robbed can be investigated.

Railroad Obstruction of Streets.

h0lrOaQ ODstructtOn OF streets.
THE ENoINEER CoMMIssIoNER SAYS COMPLAIN
ANTS SHOULD PRESENT AFFIDAvITs.
TIE STAR has heretofore referred to the COM
munication Of Messrs G. II. Parker and Philip
N. Dryer relative to the obstruction Of 81 street
southeast by the Baltimore and Potomac rail-
road company. In the same letter the writer's
refereed to the fact that the district attorney
had been instructed to enter suit against the
gaslight company Of Georgetown for violation
OF District laws, and asked the question whether,
in this instance, some reputable man would be
required to come forward and make AFFIDAVIT.
As stated in The STAR at the time, the paper
was referred to the Engineer Commissioner for
report. In passing upon the subject he says
sin the case OF the Georgetown gaslight COM
pany, the report as to the power Of gas is made
by an official Of the general government, whose
business it is to test the power Of the gas. In
the case Of the railroad, 1t would seem to be q
simple thing for Mr.. Dwyer and Mr.. Parker,
who are interested in the southwest section, to
select one or more instances in which the rail-
road tracks have been laid without authority Of
Congress, and to make affidavit to this effect,
and send 1t to the Commissioners with the re-
quest that the railroad company be prosecuted
for the illegal occupation Of the streets, &c.
This would enable the attorney for the District
to bring the matter properly before the courts,
a. understand the case"
