to a Sudden ending.
The damage suits against the Ocean
Steamship Company for false imprison-
ment, came to sudden ending yesterday
in the superior court.
The case of VIM. Green was in progress,
and all the evidence was in, when Capt. II.
Q. Cunningham, of counsel for def 9ndan5
moved the court for a non-Suit, which after
argument on both sides Was granted, the
ground upon which the court granted the
consult being that Green had rot proved
that the Ocean Steamship Company had
caused his arrest and imprisonment Il
was not suffice 1t that the agency should
be implied; it must be established by evil
dence
George W. Owens, ESQ.,, counsel for
Green, under the ruling then consented to
the dismissal of the seven other cases, and
he informed the court reporter of the

in the city court.
The cases dismissed yesterday were those

Dastardly Assault Upon Little Girl

DaStardly Assault Upon a Little Girl
in Broad Daylight.
The 1i-year-old daughter of Mr.. Andrew
Hanley was the victim of violent assault
by three white men, supposed to be tramps,
on Lincoln street, near CASTOR, about $50
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
The assault was committed in broad day-
light, but was in shaded street and in a
quiet locality where comparatively few
people pass. The villains evidently took
in the situation and formed their
plans, when they saw the young
girl coming as they could hardly have
known that she was to pass there. She had
left her home on Taylor street between
Lincoln aid Abercorn, and was on her
way to a friend on Huntingdon street. She
had hardly passed CASTOR street, going out
Lincoln. when she was seized around
the waist by roughly dres ed
man, who attempted either to thrust his
hand over her mouth or gag her with a
handkerchief. She screamed for help. and
two men came across the street. as she sup
posed, to her assistance, but a glance told
her that they were her assailant's compan-
ions. She kept on screaming and struggling,
and succeeded in partially freeing herself
from the villains grasp.
AS she did so she dealt him blow in the
stomach, which caused him to let
go his hold. She then ran and
escaped. Her assailants ran into
Castor street lane and got out of reach be-
fore an alarm could be given. The little
girls pluck saved her from the possible con-
sequences Of desperate and villainous as
sault
The police were notified and were given as
accurate description of the men as it was
possible to give. Detectives were put on
the c Sc, but up to midnight no clew
had been obtained. The little girl, except
suffering from fright, was uninjured
whether the purposes of her assailants
were robbery or otherwise is not known.
Committed as. it was in open daylight.
almost In the heart of the city, the assault
equals in boldness any that the nolice

SOMEBODY GAVE IT AWAY.
The Terrors OF the Secret Order of
a. .. @. W. Exp osed.


The members Of the a. o. c. w. are on
the lookout for the member who exposed
the inside workings OF the order. The order
is not Certain who gave it away. and it is
well, psrhaDs, that it is not. Every effort
is being made, however, TO get hold of the
"telltsls.' To this end committee Of five
has been appointed blythe president to use
all diligsnc- in that direction.
! The A. o. c. w. is a new organization,
having been in existence but little more
than month. 1t is composed of young
men. The organic was pc fected with
eleven members. Its object. the members
say, is to promote those who join socially,
intellectually and i other ways, whatever
tley may be. A membership fee OF % cents
is required, and also a fee Of 50 cents for
initiat.on. Tne order has become decidedly
popular, it seems, and the rate Of increase
has been six a week since it was organ
lied. At the last nesting apphca-
tions were received from a couple of
Broughton street dry goods clerk The
appl cations were received with the pro-
visO that the applica its would take the de-
gree Tbi, they readily consented to do.
1--WE read over the minutes and explained
some OF the workings OF the ocder.n said the
president, land were about to initiate the
applicants when one Of them got up add
said that he guessed he wouldn't take the
degree, and walked out. The other appli-
can't remained awhile, but finally conclu led
he didn't want to be on "A. o. G. W. The
members told him that some parts of the
degree were pretty severe. The secretary
read over the objects OF the order, and the
young man became interested and con-
Guided that he would stay and risk the con-
sequences.
I'VE took him to a side room where there
was tub of ice water. The initiate was
blindfolded, aud, after having undresssd, he
was escorted to the tub and allowed to sit
down in it. When he got out he was tapped
lightly to start his circulation, and he was
then declared a member. When it was ali
over we went back into the main room,
and the new member took the oath not to
divulge what had occurred. The next day
after the meeting the you lg man made up
his mind that he had been an A. o. G. w.
long enough and handel in his resignation.
Before it was accepted a committee was
appointed to wait upon him. but before the
committee got to work the story
OF the initiation was out.
The new members resignation was promptly
accepted, aud a special committee was ap-
pointed to fad out who gave the secrets
away" The committee Will make its re-
port tonight.
1t was the attention of the A. o. c. Ws.
to have float in the procession of the
drummers during Merchants week, and the
order for the float had been forwarded to
Richmond.
