EARLY MORNING NEWS.
An Exciting Event.


An Exciting Event.
An exciting event occurred early last night
In Brooklyn, when wagon load of provisions
were driven up to the Ninth avenue stables
1t was guarded by ten policemen, and the
rumor spread that they were scabs In disguise.
This excited the crowd that had assembled,
and amidst oaths and shouts yolley Of stones
was hurled at the officers, slightly injurfng
several Of them: The way 70 the stable was
barricaded with harness, etc. The wagon
finally got into the depot, but the attempt to
furnish the other men the same way was
abandoned.
Annio Eisenhardt's Assault.
The air of mystery surrounding the case Of
Miss Annie Eisenhardt, the Camden, N. j.,
hospital nurse, the story OF whose suffer-
ings at the hands of an alleged assailant
last Friday night created such a sensation,
still continues. Miss Eisenhardt IL still con-
fined to her bed, and 20 new developments
are looked for until such Q time as she will be
| able to appear personally before the mayor
and police officials who have been conduct
ing searching Investigation into the facts of
the case. Miss Eisenbardt reluctantly ad-
mitted yesterday that she had been feloniously
assaulted on the night spoken Of, a point
which was not made known until yesterday.
The opinion as TO the author OF tho out
rage seems to be about equally divided be-
tween the story that she was the Victim of her
own actions and that some one connected
with the institution In which she was EN-.
poyed committed the outrage. All sorts of
theories have been worked out by tho Camden
Police Department, but nothing can be def
initely learned until the authorities have had
| an opportunity TO question the woman. Her
present condition, while not serious In any
way, will prevent her leaving the hospital tor
at least several days.

Rumors About Richmond Terminal.
l -. -
In Richmond Terminal are at work. The at
tempt made by the bears to get holders 10 sell
stock upon a snap injunction did not alarm
any OF the directors. The people who have
been idle for months have been purchasing
the stock, and last night the point was given
out Mt the Union League Club that Richmond
Terminal would sell as high as 1t ever sold !"
General TbOmas is quoted as saying: "We
voted for the consolidation OF the Georgia
Central and Richmond Terminal 10 free the
| railrOad situation in the South from the build
ing of competitive lines. We knew that the
price demanded by the Hollins party was high,
but we were Informed that negotiations were
pending with Drexel, Morgan Il Co, for
$5,000,O00 or $l0,000,000 TO build lines com
peiing with the East Tennessee aud with
Richmond and Danville roads, and IL seemed
to us that the excessive price paid FOR Georgia
Central Railroad stock was nothing like the
cost of competition which would result from
building these roads"
