Jaw CouId's Pear Of Dynamite.

One day q man presented himself
at Mr.. Gou!l's Office and demanded to
see the millionaire. Somebody else
offered to transact any business that he
might have. The man was very digni-
fed. and said he would treat with no
body except Nlr. Gould. Mr.. Gould
happened TO overhear his remark, and
stepping TO the door asked him the
nature Of his business. The man reached
into an inside pocket and quickly drew
out a long brass cylinder. The natural
conclusion was that the man was a dy-
namiter and that the instrument which
he held in his hand was a bomb. The
door was slammed shut and everybody
in the Office made a wild rush for a
place of safety.
No explosion followed, and after a
time one Of the clerks neeonnoitered.
The man still stood where he was left
with the cylinder in his hand. He sue
ceeded in convincing the clerk that
there was no danger, and Mr.. Gould
returned to the door. The man said
he had the greatest invention Of the
ace, in which he wanted Mr.. Gould to
invest a few millions. 1t looked hike a

overdraft reaches xlG, 600.
Vermont's overdrart il nearly $780,

arms during the Fenian agitation. In
stead OF returning them TO the federal
authorities Vermont sold the govern
ment guns and put the money Ia her
own pocket. Such action - not
charged in the Illinois case, as the

for long time but the federal au-
thorities had no means OF collecting

A CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
A Negro Man Uses a Negro Girl Yer,
ShamefUlIy.

Shamefuly.
Last night at about O'Clock, VIII Var
Der, negro who has been employed as gen
eral help around Lawson's restaurant, com
mitted a criminal assault upon the person
of Willie Armsted, little colored.girl, aged
about twelve years. She had been
on Third street near the rear
of the restaurant and was Just starting
home. Yarber asked if he might take her
home, and was told he could not. He con-
tinued to walk with her until they reached
the alley just east of the Ellis hotel. Here
Yarber suggested that they go to the Ellis,
and he would buy a bucket of beer for her
mother and lunch for her. The alley is
exceedingly dark, and when a short way
into it Yarber caught hold of the girl and
threw her to the ground. She commenced
screaming, but her assailant succeeded in
his design and left her crying in
ported to the police, and officers
S. P. and P. p. Maddox and r. NJ. Kits
started out in quest of the negro. After
search of half an hour he was found at his
home on Weatherford street when Just in
the act of making his escape. He made no
resistance when arrested, and ACCOMPANIED
the officers quietly.
Willie Armsted, the girl who was assaulted
is in a precarious condition, being injured
frightfully.
Warbler strenuoutly denies that he as
saulted the girl, and says he knows nothing
eff it. The evidence, however, against him
is conclusive. and there appears to be no
doubt but that he is the man. Besides
the girls statement that Yarber
committed the assault negro who works
near IawSon's saw them leave there to-
gether, and everything goes to show that a
clear case will be made out against Yarber

NEGRO COLONIZATION.

Signify Their Willingness
to Go.
Special TO The Gazette.

Special to The Gazette. A
CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 11.-W. II. Ellis n
Texas, who is actively concerned i4sS'
scheme to colonize a large number of sSeesff-
ern negroes in Mexico, is in .thea In
speaking of the plan to-day hasSeid ne be
heved that if the negroes we're to colombo
state in Mexico they would own it III five
years, and be prosperous. The project is
favorably received by all but colored poll
ticians. Ellis thinks the loss of large
number of colored laborers would do more
than anything else to solve the race prob
lem in the South. The concessions which
he obtained from the Mexican government
embrace lands in the states OF Vera Cruz,
sQuerecao, San Luis Potosi and Oaxaca.
In cotton, Ellis asserts, the colonlst will
have the benefit OF the market price al
most double that CT the United States.
Cotton is perennial there, he says, and not
planted every year, as here, and half bale
an acre more can be raised. Ellis says he
salready has the names OF 5000 people who
desire to go from various Southern states.
