Time was when young lawyers frittered
away years in establishing practice, but
that tine has passed. A young lawyer
who recently hung out shingle had an
experience which aptly illustrates the haste
with which modernism scoots along. This
young lawyer tried a case before local
Justice, was called liar by witness, en-
gagged in fight with the vituperative per-
son, was arrested, fined S25 for assault, and
filed an appeal from his honor IS decision.
All this within n single hour. Even in the
practice of law the stage coach has been
replaced by the lightning express.-Chi-
cago Mail.

WITHOUT A TICKET.
A Passenger Proves Himself Able t
Travel FREQ of Expense.

A Passenger Proves Himself Able to
Travel FREQ of Expense.
The other day on a certain railway a
man got into one of the cars, says the
New York Ledger, and presently began
talking to fellow-passenger. After a
time ne asked the gentleman whether
he had heard the story about how man
travelled without a ticket. The gentle
man said he had not; so the man asked
him to lend him his ticket, that he
might show him how it was done, and
began f1ddling about with it, but pre-
tended that the story had suddenly
slipped out of his head, but that he
would be sure TO remember it soon:
After time the train got near New
York, and, as the man still could not re-
member tho story, he returned tho gen.
tleman his ticket (after tearing bit off
of it) and started for the door, This
struck the gentleman as being very curl
Gus, and so he watched the man. When
he was reached by the conductor and
asked for his ticket he said he had
given it up; but the conductor denied it,
md, after deal of alteration the man
pulled some silver out of his pocket
and was about to pay his fare, when he
suddenly said-producing a small piece
of ticket-that he could prove that he
had given up his ticket, because he re-
membered playing with it in the train
and tearing off small piece, and that
If the conductor looked he would find a
ticket with a piece torn off. On looking,
the conductor found ticket with a
piece torn off, and, of course, accepted
the mans statement.

CINCINNATI HAS A FLOOD.

The Streets Along the Water Front SUBJ
merged and the Property Damaged.
CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 29.-Most Of the
Easements on Water, Front and Second
streets are flooded, and tho sidewalks
are most entirely covered with wares
that have heretofore been stored in the
cellars.
More than a thousand merchants are
moving. In the bottoms all cellars are
flooded as far as Pearl street. Tobacco
merchants have lost heavily.
The streets of Maysvillo, Ripley and
Catlettsburg are full of water. At the
latter place scores of merchants have
been compelled to move.
The Mill Creek bottoms are filing
up rapidly, and the water is only ten
feet from the level Of Eighth street and
the railroad tracks.
In Covington the overflow has made
impossible the board walk leading to
Lewisburg. At the foot of Riddle
street, Front street, east of the sus-
pension bridge, is impossible, and the
water is rapidly reaching the danger
point at Walsh's distillery.
A portion of Hemingray's old glass;
works is surrounded. At Ripley the
river is rising two inches per hour, and
the bottom lands are under water.
Many families have been compelled to
leave their homes. There is much dis.
tress and privation among the poorer
classes.
At Huntington, w. Va, the river is
rising three inches an hour.
At Maysville, KY, the 1owlands are
flooded and the water is rising two
inches an hour,

THE ENTERPRISE ARRIVES.

Minister Pendleton's Body On Deck and
Reports of Trouble Denied.
New YORK, Feb. 2s.-The United
States steamer Enterprise has arrived
from cruise in European waters ex-
tending over two years and half. Her
ensign hoisted only half way to the
peak showed that she was q bearer OF
mourning. On the poop deck, covered
with the national ensign and guarded
by sentry. lay the mortal remains of
ex-United States Senator George H.
Pendleton, ex-Minister of the United
States to Germany, who died in Brus-
sells, Nov. "a, 1889. NV
At various times during the voyape
as many as IA mon had been placed
under irons at one time for infractions
of rules, but there was never the least
Indication Of a mutiny. Many had
broken the rules purposely in order to
enjoy a season of leisure in irons.
1t is probable that the Enterprise
will go out of commission during the
next week. The friends and relatives
of Minister Pendleton have been tele-
graphed for and will arrive within the
next few days to take charge Of the
body.

N1ddl0bury School Teachersa
Fight For Her Honor.

A Hiddlobury school Teachers
Fight For Her Honor.
Middlebury was aroused last evening
when it became known that Miss Lizzie
Cowen, a teacher in the Middlebury
center school, had been assaulted and
left for dead by fiendish assaiiant.
Miss Cowen is girl of twenty ,stoutly
in the habit Of walking to and from
school and usually arrived at her home,
in the western part of the town, at
about 5 o'clock. Yesterday afternoon
she left the school at dusk to walk
home.
About o'clock the inmates of the
house of Henry Atwood, nearly a mile
and q half from the school house, heard
faint knock on the front door. Mr.
Cowen, covered with blood, fell in on
the floor. Her clothes were in tatters,
there was big cash across her throat
and ugly cuts on the top of her head.
She remained unconscious for some
time and for long time they were I'M
able to get her story. At last she re-
covered her reason and told a story that
rivals any crime ever committed in
western Connecticut.
Her story is az follows: When at
Mallory's corners, a mile from the CEN
GcI, bAO was 4IAt OA VIC ACdu Will d
stone. A small man then seized her
and fierce struggle ensued. She did
not remember how the cuts on her head
and neck were inflicted. She lost con-
seriousness and thinks she must have
laid by the roadway for several hours.
The description of her assailant given
by the girl led the Infatuated inhabi-
tants to make a search fol. Dan Webster,
a worthless young fellow who worked
for Homer Atwood. He was found and
brought before the unfortunate girl who
could not identify him unless he spoke.
Webster was induced to speak and the
girl positively identified him,
Drs De Forest Of Middlebury and Ak
telle of Waterbury were called and
made the girl as comfortable as posi-
BILE.
Mallory's corners where the crime
was committed, is a lonely place and
just the one where such crime could
be committed as the nearest house is
over half a mile distant.
Wester was safely guarded and made
a confession to Constable Pope at late
hour last night. He admitted that he
committed the assault and finding the
girl was making such fight for her
honor cut her throat.
Miss Cowen spent a restless night
and her chances of recovery are very
poor.
Webster was given a hearing this
morning and was held to await the re-
suit of the girls injuries. He wa.
taken to the New Haven Jail this after
noon. >

Boston & Albany railroad, in some way
not known, he slipped between two
