A BRUTE In BLACK.
Two Sisters on Their Way Home
From Sweet Syringe Run
Down by a Negro
Man.

Last evening a beast in black
named William Price, attempted Il
rape Misses Alice ami Amelia Ninas,
pupils at Prof. J. E Barnett's acade.
my, Sweet Springs, Mo.
About shutdown the young ladies
left the school and started to their
home two miles north of town. When
short distance from the city limits
they saw Price hurriedly approaching
them. They became ba rly
frightened and began running. The
negro, bent on brutal assault, fastened
ate them and, overtaking Alice,
threw her to the ground and made a
desperate effort 10 accomplish his
hellish purpose. Amelia, who had be-
come separated from erSister, sCream-
ed with terior and this so scared Price
that he rele sed Alice and took to his
heels.
The alarm soon spre d about the
neighborhood and it was not
long before the would-be ravisher was
under arrest. He was Immediately
taken before Esquire Reavis and was
there confronted by the Misses Ninss,
who readily identifie d him, whereupon
he was locked up and placed under
secure guard.
The people of Sweet Springs were
greatly enraged, and it looked as
though the negro would spend the
night at the wrong end of
a rope, but cooler judgment prevailed
among the populace.
Information obtained from passen-
gers on the Lexington train this
morning was to the effect that no
mob had been organized and no
lynching attempted.
Price has bad reputation and was
discharged from employment at the
CITY Hotel, last Saturday.
The young ladies are daughters of
Esquire Ninas,tan old. resident of Sa-
line county.

The COrOner's Jury Bring i'm a
Curious Verdict.

As stated in yesterdays BAzoo, a
post norton examination was made
of the body of Mrs. 2obt Rankin,
wife Of one of Cooper county's promi-
nent farmers. Alter the body WIS
exhumed, several doctors we're sub
pened who testified before a coro-
Der's jury as to the examination.
After bang out but short time the
cOrOner's jury returned with the fol-
Loving verdict:
1--WE the coroner's jury, duly sworn
to inve stigate the cause Of the death
of Mrs. Robt- Rankin, which occur
red on Nov. 9Th, 1890, find according
to the evidence presented to us, that
her death was caused by the hypo-
dermic administration of mixture of
carbolic acid aud oil as prepared
and administered by DR.. G. j.
Burger.
Signed, VIM. Trigg, foreman,
III. T. Hudson,
w. Morris johnson,
", II. hOltman,
VIM. Maher,
E. w. Chiffon.
The evidence presented went to
show that DR.. Burger had injected
preparation of carbolic acid and oil
in part of Mrs Rankin's body where,
he had a short time before removed a
cancer. When the post mortem ex-
animation was mede it was found that
the heart was collapsed which had
been caused by the shock, which
shock was caused by the hypodermic
injection.
Nothing, as yet, has been done to-
wards tbe arrest of DR.. Burger but it
is supposed some action will be taken
soon.

The Republican Battle lIns

The Springfield Republican. we,, :,
formed journal whose tendencies arc co
strongly Democratic that it may be fairly
classed as one of that party's organs, closes
q summary of the outlook in the Congress
sional districts with the prophecy that the
Democrats will make net gain Of about
twenty congressman and will control the
next House by small majority. "The con-
ditions have never been more favorable on
that side for twenty years" says the Repub-
lican. "and therefore such result could not
be counted a sweeping or anything more than
q substantial victory. No administration
party has ever maintained its former strength
inithe popular branch of Congress at the
elections midway in a presidential term.
Therefore, If the Republicans can hold the
House by even a reduced majority, In the
lace OF conditions apparently so favor
aoie to their opponents, they will have
won a most encouraging victory" We
90 not agree with the prophecy, as we do not
consider 1t at all beyond the range of proba-
Dility that the Republicans may get major
ity. Still 1t is true, as stated, that to do 1t
tne Republican party must accomplish what
40 administration party has ever done be-

seventeen, supposing the Republicans to do
! Just as well in every district this year as they
did two years ago. 1t is therefore plain that
to overcome this majority of seventeen which

quire Republican victory such as has not

Narrow Escape of the Yankee.


Passengers on the Yankee going West last
Monday narrowly escaped frightful disas-
ter at Benton, just opposite this village. The
train isdue at that station at Sol p. m. At
just two minutes before that time the sta
tion agent, Mr.. "a. P. Dunn, heard noise
up the track, and looking from his window
saw that some boys had loosened the brakes
on four loaded freight cars setting on a side
track and let them down on to the main line
Mr.. Dunn was In his Office alone, with his
money drawer and ticket case open. Caring
nothing for these he snatched flag and
dashed up the track on a race for life-not
his life but that Of train full of passengers.
He ran clear to the signal tower, and as the
train was a moment late he was able to sig
nal them in time to avert damage. Then he
got bar and got the freight car off the
track and the Yankee proceeded, and few il
any CT the passengers knew of the danger
they so narrowly escaped. Mr.. Dunn showed
himself true hero, and but for his prompt
action we should have had terrible acct

A Congressional district which the Repub-
licans should carry next Tuesday, but which,
1t is to be feared, they may not, is the Sec
oAd Louisiana. In the present Congress
this district has been represented by a Re-
publican, Hon. K. Dudley Coleman, who
carried the district in 1888 by vote of 9.121
against S,947 for his Democratic opponent.
The Second district lies principally in the
city OF New Orleans, and contains a larger
number OF whites than any other Louisiana
district. Mr.. Coleman is himself represen-
alive white man of the South. He served
In the Confederate army as a private in the
famous Washington Artillery. After the
war he went into business in New Orleans,
and today Is an extensive manufacturer and
dealer In plantation machinery. He has
been for two terms President of the New
Orleans Chamber Of Commerce. His access
sion to the Republican party gave it the
district; and his denomination should be
able to retain 1t. But unfortunately Presi-
dent Harrison has made collector of the Port
OF New Orleans Ex-Governor Warmotb, who
has persistently used his office to injure the
Congressman. This has even gone to the
extent OF putting second Republican can
oiuate IN the field to divide the vote of the
party, ALREADY barely enough to overcome
the Democratic opposition. Congressman
Coleman is making gallant contest, how.
ever, ana may win In spite of IL all.

The United States Express Company and
Adams Express Company are taking diamet-
rical y opposite grounds with regard to the
transportation Of lottery tickets and cir
culars. As soon as the matter came
to the attention of the former an order
was issued to all of its superintendent
dents and agents forbidding them to re-
ceive or forward any lottery tickets or ad-
vertisements, or any packages which they
had reasonable ground to believe contained
such articles or money intended for the pur.
chase of lottery tickets. The Adams Ex-
press Company has taken the opposite
ground. that it has no right to inquire about
or suspect the character Of packages offered
TO it for carriage. II the Adams Company
would follow the example of the United
States Company a blow would be struck at
the Louisiana concern which it could scarce
ly survive.

OF course the New York city Democrats
are much cut up because Secretary Noble re-
fuses to order recount of the people of the
metropolis. But while 1t is easy to curse him
for his decision, 1t is not so easy to answer
the reasonsIwhich he gives for it. No trust
worthy evidence has been forthcoming that
the Federal count in June was seriously de-
fective. The fact that a count of the popu-
lation made in October by Tammany police
men, who had it drilled into their heads
before they set out on their mission, that
they we're expected to find more people than
the Federal enumerators did, shows several
hundred thousand more population than the
June census, is far from constituting that
kind of evidence. But this is practically all
there is. There is probably hardly large
city in the country which could not show
larger population in October than it did In
June. even without any stuffing of the re-
turns. A great many people are away in
June who are at home In October, and the
increase from other causes 10 four months In
almost every large city would be considera-
BILE. If New York was granted recount,
probably Chicago and Philadelphia and ST.
Louis would put in claims for recount, and
very likely by the aid of a police census
make out as good case for one as New
York has done.
