REPRESENTATIVE WILSON
and ex-senator Lucas, of West Virginia, ar
rived just as Mr.. Thompson was finishing his
address. The former was at once introduced
and gave a brief historical sketch of the section
OF the Old Dominion now known as West
Virginia, drawn from local records and
from the journals of the old settlers He was
followed in the same strain by Mr.. Lucas,
whom he introduced as representative of a
family who had lived in these parts ever
since they were first occupied by
white people. The gentlemen brought with
them a number of interesting original manu-
scripts of George Washington and his contem-
poraries hitherto unpublished, also the sword
worn by John Brown at his fort, and afterward
in the civil war by Colonel Bayler, into whose
hands it fell when Brown surrendered. Prof.
N II. Egleston passed about for inspec-
ton an ambrotype portrait of John Brown
taken in 1857 before he had raised his long
beard.
After the addresses the company adjourned
to grounds for lunch, and then broke up into
parties to visit John Browns fort. to ascend
Maryland Loudoun and Bolivar heights, and
to inspect the mouth of the Shenandoah river
and the curious geological exposures at the foot
of Maryland heights.

Life.

which almost wholly concealed the upper por-
ton of his face, James d. Fish, ex-president
of the Marine bank of New York city, emerged
at $40 o'clock am. to-day from the state
prison in this city. He had previously break

'Fair"
GLOW is it now?"
"Good."
On leaving the keepers hall he shook hands
with all the officials, never noticing the squad
of reporters standing near. He was given a
ticket to New York and a tve-dollar bill
and then proceeded nervously down the iron
front steps to the outer gate, followed
by the reporters. At the gate he was met by
friends with carriage, into which he stepped
briskly, and was whirled away up into the city,
presumably to the residence of his daughter,
who has remained in Auburn during the whole
period of his confinement.
Mr.. Fish and daughter left from Weedsport
at 1912 for New York.

AN EXCITING CHASE.
A Negro Accused of an Indecent Assault
on q White Woman.

Some excitement was caused in southeast
Washington about 1890 O'Clock this morning
by an alleged indecent assault committed by q
negro named VIM Sears on Mrs. Steinmeir of
No. 1908 E street southeast. The negro at
tempted to escape, but was pursued by several
citizens until they encountered Policeman
Slack, to whom they stated the case. That
vigilant officer started in pursuit Of the negro
and
CAPTURED HIM AFTER HOT CHASE.
Mrs. Steinnaier, the complaining witness, 10 Q
fine, healthy-looking woman, over the ordinary
size, and in strength would have been q
match for the miscreant had he
laid his hands upon her. She resides at No.
l30S u street southeast, in one of a row of
band and family. This morning, about 10
o'clock, she went into the house of
a sick friend, No. 1914, the last
house OF the row, and was assisting about the
kitchen. While so employed the accused, VIM.
Sears, came to the kitchen door and said:
Lady, please give me piece of bread" She
replied that she would see the lady of the house.
She soon informed him that they had no bread
He then left, and in a little time Mrs. s, also
left the house, when she saw him standing be-
meath tree about eight feet east Of the gate.
THE ASSAULT.
She states that he then came toward her,
exposing himself, and making most indescent
proposal. She became nervous at his manner
and screamed, and he repeated his
insult By this time she had recovered
her calmness and calling help started toward
him. at the same time intending to go for her
husband at the brewery, between 18th and 14th
streets. The miscreant then halted, and with
his hand upifted seemed about to strike her.
and some of the neighbors say he had stone
in his hand. By this time two men who
had heard her cries responded, and the
negro started on run across the commons,
striking the sherwood place, northeast of tho
city limits.
FLIGHT AND PURSUIT.
When he reached near the toll-gate he got
out of the sight of his pursuers, but they gave
information to Officer Slack, who started him
from his cover, and jumped his horse over two
fences and secured him. The officers at once
sent for the patrol wagon and the
prisoner was brought to the city.
Mrs. Steinmier identified the ruffian. Indeed,
he did not deny that he was the person, but in
sisted that he had not put his hands upon her.
Mrs. s. said it was good thing he did not.
The prisoner is short thick-set negro and
has several scars on bis face, which indicate
that he has been in several fights.
He denied that he assaulted the woman.
The prisoner is held on charge of indecent
assault
