ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.
a Lonely Farm House In New Jersey
the Scene

BoRDENTowN, Jan. 5.-A lonely
farm house on the Jobstown turn
pike, few miles from here, was the
scene OF desperate struggle yester.
day between young woman, about
25 years of age, and a burly negro
tramp, who attempted to assault
her.
The woman whose pluck and
nerve probably saved her life is Mrs.
Harry Harker, who has been mar
ried only few months, and lives
with her husband in farm house
just off the public road. She is q
slight-built, frail-looking woman,
but has more courage than most
men. Yesterday morning her hus-
band went away at an early hour,
expecting to be absent all day.
Between 8 and 9 o'clock, Mrs.
Harker heard a knock on the rear
door. As she stepped into the ad-
joining room she was surprised to
see strange negro in the room, q
short, thick set man, very dark and
of villainous countenance. He was
not at all disturbed at being detected,
and on being asked what his errand
was said:
"Mr. Harker sent me to do some
work"
The woman mistrusted him and
feared there was trouble ahead. The
nearest neighbor was several hun
dred yards away, and out ofhearing
So she resolved to put on a bold
front and tell the fellow to leave.
He refused to 60. he said he
wanted his breakfast and was will
ling to cut wood enough to pay fol
it.
There was no alternative but tC
prepare the meal. The negro watch
ed her all the time, and as she at
tempted to leave the room he sprane
toward her. Quick as flash sh'
slammed the door, and eeizing 81
iron poker hit the fellow severa
times. A blow from his fist sen
her reeling, followed by a kicl
which hurt her terribly. Still sh
fought with the energy Of despers
tion. Finally she gave vent to
series of screams that alarmed tn
intruder. He threatened to kill he
il che did not desist, but she keI
on, at which the negro became a
armed and made his escape. N
trace OF the rascal has been obtair
ed.-Es.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Ga report
by Civil Service Commissioner
Roosevelt of the result of his recent
Investigation of the Affairs Of the
Philadelphia Custom House, will
have an important bearing on pro-
motions in Government Offices
Some time ago the local Civil Service
Reform Association complained to
the Civil Service Commission al
Washington that the law was being
violated by Collector of Customs
Cooper, Of this port, in the matter
of removals and appointments.
Commissioner Roosevelt camt
bere and investigated the cause OF
two men named Cunningham and
Webb, who had been appointed
laborers in the Custom House, and
almost Immediately promoted tc
clerkships without undergoing the
Civil Service examination. Roose.
velt made his report to the Com,
mission ten days ago, and the loca
association to-day received per
mission to make it public. 1t is tc
the effect that such promotions are
clearly illegal, but that the commits
sion has not the power to prevent
them anywhere except in Washing
ton where the commissioner has full
control of all appointments. In
other cities officials possessed of the
power similar to Collector Cooper
can evade the civil service law by
appointing men laborers and after
ward promoting them to higher
positions.
