SPECIAL to the Globe

Special to the Globe-
ASHLAND, Wis, April 21.-About 8
O'Clock Saturday night, as Miss Lizzie
Morrsette was passing along st. Claire
street, man stepped out from an old
shed and stopped her, with the remark:
"You are just the girl l want. If you
utter a sound I'll shoot YOU" The vii
lain seized the girl, and after gagging
her by means of a rubber ball, which he
placed in her mouth, he dragged her
behind the shed and there criminally
assaulted her. He then kicked her two
or three times and left her in state of
insensibility. When the girl regained
consciousness she screamed for help.
Some friends came to her assistance and
carried her to the house of her aunt,
about a block away. A doctor was
called, and found that the girl was quite
seriously injured. Miss Morrisette is
French girl, nineteen years of age, a
brunette and very pretty. She is nearly
prostrated over the affair, and her par
ents are distracted. No trace of the vii
lain who outraged her can be found,
and the girl herself was so terrified that
she was unable to give description of
him. although she thinks his face was
covered with mask.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The govern
ment is now indebted to the Western
Union Telegraph company for about
ten months service, for business
amounting to about 100000 annually.
The telegraph company has refused to
accept the rate fixed by Postmaster
General Wanamaker, and the latter has
declined to make any modification. Mr..
Wanamaker'S rate is 10 cents for ten
words for distances of 800 miles and
less, and propOrtiOnate increase for
greater distances. The Western Union
company is still continuing to take all
government messages. but ever since
June they have refused to receive any
pay on the basis of the new rates. 1t is
said that the company proposes to insti-
tute suit to determine the legal ques-
tiOns involved, and that it will deny that
the government has right to fix rate
which is not just for the
services rendered, and will claim that
the rate fixed by Postmaster General
Wanamaker is of this character. The
company will, it is understood, refuse
to accept any money for telegraph serv-
ice until the courts have rendered de-
cision. No suit, however, has as yet
been instituted. and government Off
cials are wondering when the telegraph
company proposes to take action.

Flame of LIncoln's Assassin.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 20.-Louise
Worcester, at one time a confident of
j. Wilkes Booth, the assassin Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, is credited with saying
that Booth is not dead. She declares
that in 1867, two years after Booths sup
posed death. she received a letter with
out date or signature, but unmistak-
ably in Booths handwriting. This let
ter she says is still in existence. AS to
the probabilities of the man shot by
Boston Corbett being Wilkes Booth,
she points out that the body was closely
guarded, and secretly buried without an
opportunity having been given for
identification by any of those intimately
acquainted with him. She believes that
the man killed was one of the conspirat-
ors, and that Booth made good his es-
cape; but that in the excited and
clamorous condition of the public mind,
1t was thought best by the authorities,
if they knew of the deception, to allow
it to pass unchallenged, in order to al
lay the fever of excitement which the
assassination had aroused,

feet three tenths, since which time
The gale has also carried gulf water
through Lake Borgne and the Missis-
sippi sound entirely over the Louis

places between Tichou and Lookout
