White Woman Assaulted by a Negro.

ONANCOCK, Va, March 12.-Late Sunday
night Magruder Fletcher, a. powerful
young colOred man, broke into the house of
Mrs. Odediah McCready, IN MessOngo Neck,
in the northern part of AccOmac county,
and violently assaulted her. Mrs Nc
Cready's husband was absent from home at
the time. being engaged in catching oysters
across the Chesapeake bay, and the only
persons in the house besides Mrs. McCready
were her two young children, aged five and
three years respectively. The cOlOred man,
who had been employed by Captain Nc
Cready to cut wood for his wife during his
absence, entered through an upstairs win
dow. When Mrs. McCready became aware
of the negroes presence in the house, he
was standing by her bed, with his
hand on her throat. He threatened to kill
her and her little children if she should
scream. He assaulted Mrs. McCready four
times, leaving her just before day break.
Constable Gladding arrested Fletcher, who
was in hiding. All the surrounding country
was aroused and men were securing the
woods in every direction. Fletcher was
lodged in AccOmac Courthouse Jail and
chained to the floor to prevent his escape.
He denies that he committed the crime, but
his wife testifies that he was away from
home all night and did not return until
nearly sunrise, and the accused himself
made several conflicting statements. Many
persons believe that the jail will be stOrmed
and the negro hung but the officials appear
to have no apprehensions of such an occur

old

License, Orders the Inquirer Out of His Store.

The assault made yesterday morning by
Henry Schwinge, the tea merchant, upon

conversation. Mr. Schwinge is so mild and
gentlemanly in his department. that the
story could hardly be believed by anyone
who knew him, as they could not under
stand how SO undemonstrative citizen
could commit so serious an offense as that
of assaulting a United States officer. The
reporter called at his place of business to get
his narration of the affair.", but he was
not to be found. Mr.. Wadsworth says that
at $50 o'clock yesterdy morning he went
into Mr.. Schwinge's store. The revenue
officers had been informed that he is keep
ing bottled liquors, had been selling liquor

The officer did not know Mr.. Schwinge, bat
upon the latter gentleman being pointed
out to him, Mr.. Wordsworth explained his
business and asked to see his license. Mr..
Schwinge asked the officer for his name,
and then demanded that he write it for
him on piece of paper. He had no sooner
done this than Mr.. Schwinge ordered
him out of his store, and as
the officer moved toward the door, the mer-
chant kicked him, and followed up the
kick with blow in the face. Half an hour
later Mr.. Wadsworth swore out warrant
for Mr.. Schwinge's arrest, and he was
brought into the United States marshars
office and admitted to bail9 Mr.. Wads-
worth also filed against Mr.. Schwinge be-

States officer while in the discharge of his
duty. is made serious one under the
federal statute, the fine being $500, to
which imprisonment may be added.

Plundered bv Masked Robbers,

PITTsBURG, March 12-McC lellandtown,
a district twelve miles from UniontOwn,
Pa. in Fayette county, was terrOriZed. last
night, by a party of armed and masked
robbers, who entered a number of houses,
and, after torturing the inmates until they
gave up whatever money was in their pos
session, ransacked their houses from cellar
to garnet. The first house entered was that
of farmer named Anderson. There were
five men in the party, and they were heav-
lily armed They demanded Anderson's
money. and upon protesting that he had
none, they placed hot Goals to his feet and
compelled him to give them $50, all the
money he had. They then went through
the house, but finding nothing of value,
rode off. The next place visited was farmer
Lilley's, a short distance from Anderson's,
The old man said he had no money, and
the desperadOes tied him In the bed and set
fire to it. Lilley begged for mercy, and
finally gave the robbers S130 which he had
secreted. He was then unbound and the
fire extinguished. A fruitless search of the
house for valuables followed, after which
the robbers left and went to the house of 20
man named Grove. The latter was put
through the same torture, but he had no
money, and, after thoroughly ransacking
the various rooms the party left. The last
place visited was the home of an old lady
named Keller, a widow. The robbers
bound and gagged her, and threatened all
manner of torture until she gave them a
pension check, which they returned.

Killing Animals by Electricity.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Final experiments
were made this afternoon by the New York
State authorities to satisfy themselves as
to the best means of executing condemned
criminals bv electricity. The first animal
to leave his troubles behind was a small
white cur weighing twenty-one pounds.
One of the wires was wrapped over some
cotton waste, saturated with water, on his
right front leg, and another attached i'm the
same way to his left hind leg. The alter
mating current at 700 volts pressure was ap-
piled for ten seconds, and the animal died
painlessly, without noise or struggle. The
second was black mongrel Newfound-
land, weighing eighty-seven and One-half
pounds. Connections were made upon the
middle of his forehead with a metal plate
covered with felt, and upon the right hind
led. Eight hundred volts of alternating
current for fifteen seconds killed him in
stantly. Other dogs, weighing sixty and
thirty-five pounds, were killed in the Same
way with the alternating current at 500 and
700 volts for ten seconds. Four calves of
approximately the weight of man were
killed In the same way at 800 volts pressure
for contacts of from fifteen to twenty sec
onds. An $50 pound, horse then took the
alternating current In the same way at l.
600 volts pressure for twenty-three seconds,
and died instantly. In every case the death
was instantaneous, and without sound or
struggle.

Recently a protracted meeting was held in
that neighborhood by Rev. A. b. Cunning

zens professed religion. Rev. Cunningham
and some of the church members conceived
the idea of Kidding the community of all

cation consisting of more than one hundred
men was formed for the work of purifca-
ton. few days ago the organization got
together and made aformal raid upon the OBJ

MIR. CARLETON'S METHODS.

MIR. CARLETONS METHODS.
Said Manager Ben Stern, of the Carleton
Opera Company, yesterday: "People who
talk about actors or singers making the sue
cess of play or an opera simply display their
ignorance of that whereof they speak. 1t
is the drill-the stage-training, if you
please-that does it. Of course the natural
artist is easier handled, but no difference
what the abilities possessed may be, stage
training is the thing. do not believe there
is any sucn thing as inspirational acting or
singing. In other words. artists are made,
not born. and the man or woman possessed
of the natural organ of Patti or Campo
mini would be useless to the stage without
the preliminary preparation of hard, incess-
ant drill-rehearsal after rehearsal. have
never seen this fact so thoroughly demon
strated as in the case of the Carleton Opera
Company. As you know, Mr.. Carleton is a

lions given him. wrath, fines, and even
summary dismissal may be his reward. Mr..
CarletOn's methods and manners may be
criticised by some. but to me they are proof
that he knows his business thoroughly
Even his chOruses are noted for their
superiority over others, for the reason that
he selects and drills them carefully. 1t is
funny to see him pick out singers for the
chorus. In testing their voices
he does away with the old system of run
ming over the scale, do, ia, mi, ia ETC.,
in rapid, perfunctory sort of manner, but
makes them take the single scale and hold
it. and whenever one is found that can't do
it-and that is often-he is not wanted, and
is politely told so. 1t is his happy faculty
of doing everything well himself that en-:
ables him to pick out and SO perfectly drill
his subordinates, and this is the secret OF
his success"

in any sense, an annexation committee. or
that its bent and purpose was to favor an
nexatiOn. :,
Mr.. Morrill, said that he was quite willing
to have the committee appointed, as 1t az
foTdcd an opportunity for steam to be blown
off on the question. He regarded the whole
agitation OF the subject as preposterous, as
there never had been time when Canada
was more loyal to Great Britain than she is
now.
Mr.. Sherman said that he did not desire
at all to hasten the matter of political
union. Ii would have to be q popular
movement, and not movement on the
part of governments. He believed that the
people of the United States, and of Canada,
would gradually melt into one government
and be under the same common flag, with,
he trusted, the hearty good will of the
mother country.
Mr.. Blair disclaimed the differences to be
drawn from the remarks of the Vermont
Senator's, that New England was not in
favor of political union. He believed that
the feeling there was as strong as in any
other portion of the United States.
Mr.. Butler suggested that. if it were
given out that the select committee had an
intention of considering the question of an
nexation, its members would be arrested as
filibusters when they crossed the line.
Mr. Frye favored the appointment of the
committee, and spoke of the necessity of
obtaining commercial and other statistics,
but declared that any movement on the
part of the United States looking toward
annexation would be a profound mistake,
and would only retard it.
After further debate in the same general
line. Mr.. Payne withdrew his notion and
all the select committees were agreed to,
and the Senate went into executive session
and confirmed these nominations:
Thomas w. Palmer of Michigan, to- be
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo-
tertiary to Spain; John +: Swift. Of Cali
fornia, to be envoy extraordinary and min
lister plenipotentiary to Japan; John ID.
Washburn, of Massachusetts, to be minis
ter resident and consul-generaI to Switzer-
land; George G. TichenOr, of illinois, to be
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, vice
Isaac H. Maynard, resigned.
The nominations sent to-day were referred
to appropriate committees, and the Senate
then adjourned.
