BRUTAL ASSAULT.

A Boston Woman Knocked Down
 and Jumped on by . Fiend.
 BOSTON, March 3-A young man giving the name of Frank B. Keith, residence Wor- cester, was arrested this afternoon for an aggravated assault upon Mrs. Griffin, wife of Captain Griffin of hook and ladder No. 8, at the latter's residence, No. 9 Tyler street, this noon. Keith entered the house and demand ed some soup for ''sick friend down stairs" !" He was intoxicated and upon his request being refused grabbed Mrs. Griffin by the throat, threw her to the floor and jumped on her. A knock on the door by a young child frightened him away. When the woman's husband and son returned to dinner they found Mrs. Griffin utterly prostrated by the shock. After. short search Keith was found on the roof of an adjoining house, bare-footed. He was identified by Mrs. Griffin and then locked up in station No. A.. Great fears are felt for the result of the as- sault as Mrs. Griffin was in rather poor health.

A CURIOUS CASE.

A Man Buried Alive and Revived
 After His Body Was Rssurrecsed.
 ST. LOUIS, March 3.-The local press is puzzled over the case of John J. O'Connor, which is certainly most remarkable one. It was asserted that he had died, and that his body was taken to the morgue, where it was identified by his wife, who had him buried in Calvary cemetery. A few days later it was stated that O'Connor was alive, that his wife had been mistaken, and that the man who was taken to the grave was not her husband.
 It is now learned that there is every reason to believe that O'Connor was not buried by proxy, but in his own proper person, some time between the night of Monday, February 10, and the afterEoon of Wednesday. OCon- nor was ssen Saturday night, and stated most emphatically that the grave in the cemetery Is empty, and he exhibited . out which had been made half way across the abdomen. He is of tho opinion that he was really buried and that his body was taken up and conveyed to dissecting room while in 6 state of suspended animation, and that when the first insision was made it caused . flow of blood which restored him to con- sciousuess. He states that he went to . lodging house on Monday evening, and that he knew nothing more until Wednesday night, when he found himself seated on the court house steps in @ dazed condition, weak and sick.

Deelsion by she Supreme Court Yssssr-
 day-Two Appeals by She Fidellty-
 what the Claims Were Based Upon
 Tho Attempt to Corner she Wheat
 Market.
 CHICAGO, March 3.-The Evening Journal says: The stubborn fight of the American Exchange National bank of Chicago against the receiver of the Fidelity bank of Cincin- natl was terminated to-day by decision of the supreme court of tho United States at Washington, which has the effect of fully sustaining all the claims of the American Exchange and allowing interest upon divi- dends which tho receiver has withheld dur ing the pendency of the litigation.
 The American Exchange filed claims against the insolvent Fidelity bank to the amount of $4OO, 900 and commenced three separate suits against the receiver, all of which were heard before Judges Jackson and Sage, sitting together in bsnc. Receiver of Fidelity took an appeal in three cases, bat subsequently, abandoned one of the eases up on draft for $100, ,000. and perfected his appeal in tho other two cases involving $30O, ,00O. These are the appeals which have just been determined in favor of the Ameri- can Exchange.
 Special interest has been felt in these cases by the previous comptroller of the currency, Nr. Trenholm, and his successor in office, MT. Tracy, because the American Exchange claimed interest upon the dividends withheld by the receiver. The uniform practice of the department has hitherto been not to pay any such interest and this is the first time that the question has been before the supreme court.
 The claims thus determined in favor of the American Exchange were based upon drafts panic June 15, 1887, from Kershaw & Co.,, which on being presented at the Chemical bank of New York were dishonored and Kershaw & Go. failed. The attempt to cor ner the wheat market accumulated more wheat in Chicago than had before or since been in store in this city and the panic re- suited in fall of twenty cents bushel in one day.
 Investigations made at the time of the panic showed that E. l.. Harper was vice. president of the bank and was using the re- sources of his bank in that undertaking. He had taken $1,0OO,O00 worth of negotiable paper from the vaults of the Fidelity bank and sent 1t to the Chemical National bank oi New York as security for the payment of any drafts whiek he might draw in the name ot his bank against the Chemical. It was his intention to have the Chemical pay the drafts which he sent to Chicago on June 15, but when he found that the panic in wheat could not be stayed by the amount of money which he sent he tried to throw the loss on the American Exchange and telegraphed tht Chemical not to pay tho drafts. The bank accordingly refused to pay and the result wal the litigation which has just beer terminated
