Duchak had II terrible experience yester-
day. She was assaulted and knocked
down by AN unknown man, successfully
resisted him, and was then thrown on the
track just as an express train came thur
dering along. Her younger sister pulled
her almost from under the wheels and
saved her life. The girl, who is IL years
old, lives at Stewart avenue aud Eighty
seventh street. About Q O'clock yester-
day morning she was walking home from

younger sister. At the corner of Wright
and Seventy ninth streets, an unknown
man seized her around the waist and
threw her violently to the ground. !.

and fought desperately for her honor.
She regained her feet and dug her deli

down. The younger sister now directed
the assailant's attention and her sister
again struggled to her feet. The assault
happened near the railroad track. An
inward bound passenger train was APP
proaching at a high rate of speed The
engineer and fireman saw the man and
woman struggling by the side of the
track. 1t was a dramatic scene

1t came near being a tragedy, though
and for second the hearts of the engine
men leaped into their mouths. Knowing
that he could not accomplish his nefari-
Gus design. and fearing that the train
would be stopped and the girl rescued,
the wretch attempted 70 adj murder to
the dastardly crime of assault. He again
seized the girl by the waist and, sitting
her screams by placing his rough hand
over her mouth, Missed in her ear, II am
going to kill you. The wheels will grind
you pieces" A look of terror crept into
the girls eyes and she fought like a I'll
gress to break away from the villains
clutches.
Saved by a Heroic Sister.
When the train was only few rods
away he violently threw the girl into the
narrow space that separates the two shin
ing rails, and ran away. Miss Duchak
struck on her side, and death seemed GER

the young sister :her ideally rushed upon
the track and fairly dragged Frances from

tive. The train whirle1 by, and the young

An Address to Republicans From the
City Committee.

To the Republicans of Portland:
Your city committee have inaugurated
new system for the conduct of our caucuses,
with view to maintaining order, of exclu l.
ing persons who are not Republicans from
having voice in nominating our candidates,
and with the hope that all good Republicans
who for various reasons have heretofore alb
sented themselves from our primary meet
ings will again take an interest in this most
important business. upon the assurance that
caucuses will be conducted impartially for
ascertaining the genuine preference OF a ma
iority Of the party for nominees.
The duty of chairman will be to identify
or be satisfied of the identity of the voter
and receive his ballot when his name is
checked. to maintain order, to declare the
result of the vote. and to certify credentials.
The committee have endeavored to make
an accurate list of Republican voters, and
have, by notice in the call, provided for the
protection Of the rights of all who take in
terest enough to visit headquarters and veri-
fly the list. If mistakes have occurred 1t is
through accident, and while only the names
of persons marked as Republicans upon the
lists prepared by the committee can vote at
this caucus, If any have been omitted we
hope they will call upon the committee and
have the error rectifed before the next eau
Gus. Only such registered voters are invited
to participate In these proceedings, and any
other persons violate the penal laws of the
state If they attempt to participate or create
any disturbance in the caucus.
For the purpose of facilitating the voting
we recommend that the voters approach the
ballot-box In line; If the checkers announce
that any person Is not allowed to vote, dis
cussion is useless. II any Republican finds
his name left off we hope he will take the

Of a majority fairly expressed, and we cor

for IS years. He has been considerably ad-
dicted to drink. Wednesday he told num-
Der of people that he was going to make
way with himself at midnight, and said
goodbye to them, saying he should not see
them again. They laughed at his talk, and
thought nothing serious Iof it, supposing he
was more or less intoxicated.
Wednesday evening Stackpole went to
Long Island on the 7.3O boat, the Emita.
Just before leaving the boat he insulted
some young ladies in the cabin. but left d.
rectly and went on shore. Nothing more
was seen of him until yesterday morning.
Then his dead body was found a short dis
lance from the head of the Casco Bay wharf.
He had shot himself in the side of the head
and must have died instantly. By his side
was cheap pistol and box of cartridges.
He had this pistol with him Wednesday, and
showed it to several people, saying he was
going to shoot himself with 1t. Undertaken
Rich went down yesterday morning and
brought the body to the city. Coroner
Gould decided that an inquest was unneces.
sary. Stackpole leaves widow who is in
feeble health. Stackpole was member OF
Company A, First Maine, at the beginning
of the war.

The Little Nell Sunk,

Yesterday morning six men of the schoon-
or Little Nell, off Cape Small Point, took to
their dories for the purpose of fishing, leav-
ing Captain William Thomas the only man
on board. Suddenly there came up white
squall, capsizing the vessel. Capt. Thomas
fioated with barrel out of the line of
the storm, for so narrow was the range that
the men in the boats did not know about the
squall until the man who saved Capt. Thom-
as rowed up with him. The vessel went out
of sight in a moment
While Capt. Thomas was clinging to the
barrel he saw large schooner near him.
When the squall struck her 1t tore away her
sails. and she was lost to sight. Capt
Thomas and his men rowed into Rarpswell.
They at first supposed one of the crew was
lost, but he has since appeared. Capt.
Thomas lost every dollar he owned in the
world for he had no insurance on his vessel.
The cook, who went to the cabin and
changed his trousers before he went into the
dory, lost 800 that was in the pock-
ct of the pair he left aboard the schooner.
1t was the money he had made by his sum-
mer's work.

A Dog Attacks an Equestrian

Between four and five o'clock yesterday
afternoon. MIR. Fessenden. son of N. G. Fes-
sender. the well-known newsdealer was
riding his horse on Cumberland street when
large yellow dog, apparently mastiff,
made sudden and most ferocious attack
upon the horse, leaping upon the affrighted
animal and repeatedly biting at him. The
danger of the rider was, of course, very
great, the horse plunging and leaping and at
last taking to the sidewalk on State street,
where Mr.. Fessenden leaped off, happily
without injury. Some men who then arrived
beat off the dog. The horse. a fine animal,
was bleeding from the nostril where his fe-
rocious assailant had pinned him. A dog of
such dangerous opposition should not be al
lowed to run at large. Its next object of at
tack may be child.
A complaint was made at the station that
the owners name was Crosby. The affair
created much excitement in the nelghbor-
hood
