Madame Won Der Hova,s Return

The many old time friends of Madame
Won der Hoya are congratulating them
selves upon the return of this gifted lady
to Savannah. Her brilliant playing is well
remembered, as well as her universal ability
as piano teacher Her return marks en-
phatically the new interest aroused in
music in this city. Madam Won der Hoy a
has been exceptionally fortunate in her
musical training. AS a mere girl she at
tracted the attention of the celebrated
Moscheles, who became her first teacher.
Afterward she studied for some time with
the scholarly Reinecke, and finally was one
of the few and favored pupils Of that giant
among piano virtuosi, the great RubinsUein.
The lady has not only brilliant command
of her instrument, but refined musical
sense which makes her playing unusually
interesting. There is some talk OF giving a
reception piano recital upon Madam Won
der Hoya's arrival, which will be about
October rs.

HENRY W. HoFBMANN ATTACKED
AND BEATEN BY FOoTPADs.

a Daring Assault by Negro Highway
men-Robbery and Possibly Murder
Prevented by the Timely Assistenc &c
OF Passing Pedestrians-Storyo of the
Attack.
One Of the most daring outrages ever
perpetrated in Savannah was committed
last night right in the heart Of the city and
within a few steps of the most public
thoroughfare. 1t was a deliberate attempt
at robbery and perhaps murder.
Henry W. Hoffman, foreman for W. B.
Nell & Co., and a middle-aged gentleman
was on his way to his house, No. 30 Harris
street, about 1890 O'Clock, and was
going out Bull street. At Strongs drug
store. at the corner of Perry street lane, he
took few steps into the lane. While stand
ing in the lane he was approached by a
couple of negroes. one Of whom accosted him
with. Hello, Henry" Mr.. Hoffman turned
around to the negroes and asked, what
are you doing hereP'
The words were hardly out Of his mouth
before one of the negroes, both Of whom
were large men, struck at him and he re-
ceived the blow upon the right
side of the heed, bruisinR his
face and cutting his lip Before he
could make a move TO defend himself the
other negro grabbed him by the throat and
bore him over backward. As he was being
borne down, ne was struck from behind by
the negro who hit him first heavy blow
upon the left side of the head with slung-
shot or some heavy weapon, breaking his
hat and severely bruising his head. Mr..
Hoffman shouted, Help, murderm At
tracted by his cries num-
Der of people came rushing
into the lane. On the appearance of the
crowd the footpads fed, without having
secured anything from the object of their
attack. They ran through the lane pur-
sued by the crowd, but were not overtaken.
No policemen appeared upon the scene at
any time during the trouble, even after the
negroes had fed, and nothing was known
of the matter at the barracks shortly before
12 O'Clock.
Mr.. Hoffman called at the MORNING
News Office about an hour after the occur
renee, and gave an account Of the assault
upon him. He was not expecting any at
tack, and was entirely unarmed. He
exhibited his battered hat, which be left at
the office. and showed the bruises upon his
head
The boldness of the assault makes it as
founding. 1t was committed within a
stones throw Of the De Soto, within block |
of the theatre. and almost upon Bull street, |
In the early part Of the night, while num- |
bers Of people were passing.
