A Villain Who Habitually
Assaults Young Girls.
He Kisses and Indecently Ca.
resses Children.
The Complaint That Comes From
Residents on Pearl Street.
Experiences of Little Girls Whom he Has
Caught-All Attempts to Capture
Him So Far Futile-A Dose
of Lead Ready for Him.

There is villain who is disturbing the
people who live in the vicinity OF Pearl
street, between Sixth and Tenth.
The fellow has for several weeks been
prosecuting young girls, his particular
objects being girls from twelve to fifteen
years of age. His method is to await
his opportunity until he can catch his
victim alone on the street, when he will
walk swiftly up, and catch her in his
arms for a moment, kissing her, and
fondling her in an indecent manner. In
several instances when by their screams
and the approach of help, he has been
obliged to relinquish his prey, they
have been badly bruised by his violence
and it has been found that he had tern
off nearly all their underclothing.
One woman who was seized by him
and roughly treated when just entering
her home, is still seriously i'll from the
effects OF the fright he gave her, and it
is doubtful if she will ever entirely re-
cover from the nervous prostration
which ensued.
But few days ago very pretty girl
OF about IA years of age had just left her
home early in the evening, to go to
neighbours, when her father and brother
heard her scream, and, rushing out, saw
the scoundrel's figure disappearing down
the street in flight, while the child was
on the ground frightened so that she
could not speak, and with her clothes
torn to tatters. 1t was afterwards
learned that he had held her with one
arm and repeatedly kissed her, while he
tore her clothes from her with the other
hand.
Another case was that of little girl
who in the twilight recently was sitting
on the steps of the Presbyterian church.
The blackguard came along and picked
her up forcing her to submit to many
indignities pefors her cries attracted at
tention. One of his boldest acts was
that of assaulting little girl who, while
riding tricycle., met him. He pulled
her from the machine and fondled and
kissed her until he was frightened away.
This sort of thing has been going on
for over month now, and all attempts
to capture the fiend have been fruitless.
Several fathers living in that region have
armed themselves, and one OF them,
who yesterday gave HERALD reporter
an account of the wretch's actions
swears that at the first opportunity he
will fill the fellow full of lead.
1t has been impossible to get an ac-
curate description of the villain the
children whom he has assaulted say he is
short, thickset, has stubby mustache,
and wears gray clothes.

A COnfiagration at Jackson
vile, Florida.
The Business Part of the City
Burned.
A Terrific Explosion During the
Progress of the Fire.
Firebrands Scattered in Every Direction
by y Blast of Dynamite-No Lives
Lost-Fires at Other
Places.
Associated Press Dispatches.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August 1S.-A
patch of smouldering RUNS two blocks
wide and six blocks long is the result OF
a fire which started at midnight. 1t
caught in Knight q Co.'s grocery, ad-
joining the large Hubbard building, and
in very short time the block was a
mass of flames. Thence they were car
ried diagonally across to the fremont
hotel; thence to Col. Burbridge's block.
The FIRE spreado on all sides, being famed
by stiff breeze. Nothing could stay
the flames until they were exhausted for
want of material. They were stopped
at Beaver street on the north, at Laura
street on the west and at Ocean street
on the east, at O'Clock this morning.
Over twenty-five business houses were
burned and over forty dwellings. The
loss is estimated all the way from $780,
600 to 81 200, 900; insurance half.
In the Smith building large amount
of dynamite was stored; this exploded
and started fires a block away to the
northwest. The sound was not heard,
but the effect of the explosion was seen
fifty miles away. In the city the effect
was stunning; men fell in the streets,
and many were injured; plate glass for
four or five squares was shattered, and
the sidewalks covered with broken glass.
The firemen could have stopped the fire
at this point, but for the explosion
which rendered them helpless. Resi-
dences, stores and hotels broke into
flames, and the fire became terrible
conflagration, and was not stopped until
after daylight.

Scenes in the WOrkingmen's
Congress in Brussels.
A New York Delegate Creates a
Sensation.
His Bitter Attack on the Land of
His Adoption.
A Spanish Anarchist Sat Upon by the
Convention-An Italian Anarchist
Arrested-Other Delegates
Scared.
Associated Press Dispatches.

BRUSSELS, August lS.-During the So
cialst congress to-day, Merlino, an Ital-
ian anarchist delegate, was arrested by
the Belgian police upon the ground that
he had been previously expelled from
Belgium. While the arrest caused
commotion, it was almost forgotten in
the fright caused by the report that the
police were contemplating more arrests.
The fright, however, was unfounded.
Sandal, of New York, one of the
presidents of the day, made a stirring
address, in the course of which he said
that in the United States the sum of
$4,000, 900 was annually actually stolen
from the hands of those who produced
it. "Amid all that wealth." said he,
"misery increases so fast that the land
of the brave and the home OF the free
is in reality hell"
Sandals bitter arraignment of the
land in which he found home was
most vigorously applauded by the many
socialists who heard it.
Ramos, Spanish delegate who had
been admitted here, declared with much
pride and enthusiasm that he repre-
sented ffty-fve anarchist associations
having headquarters in Barcelona.
Other Spanish representatives opposed
his admission to the congress. An up
roarious discussion followed, Ramos
finally being retired.
The difficulty of taking any decisive
steps likely to benefit the workmen as
whole becomes more apparent as tLis
strange congress is sifted. Everybody
seems to have deep grievances, but few
seem to have clearly defined remedy
for them. 1t is thought the discussion
of the place to hold the next interna-
tional demonstration will cause the
utterance of some interesting remarks.

usual.
NOTES
Yesterday morning Mr.. w. D. Gill
lette, first assistant engineer, and Mr..
L. Tasheira, second assistant engineer
OF the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany, accompanied by G. O. Newman,
engineer of the Redlands Water COM
pany, left this city for Bear Valley, says
the San Bernardino Times-Index. Ru-
NOR hath it that they have gone to Sc
lect route for railway from a connec-
f.or, xx,ifh fha
company has heard 80 much about the
beauties of Bear valley as summer
resort that it intends, after looking the
matter over and selecting feasible route,
to build to that point and secure the pas
senger and freight traffic of Bear and
Holcomb valleys.
H. d. Lamotte, right OF way agent OF
the Southern Pacific, left for the north
yesterday.
From good authority it is learned,
says the San Bernardino Courier, that
there are quite number of moneyed
men who think they see good invest
ment in putting an electric railway into
operation in this city. The gentlemen
who are thus stricken with this enter
prising project will try to obtain fran
chise along Third street, and If they fail
in this an effort will be made to acquire
one on Fourth street, and if successful
on Fourth street to run the road out
into the district of Rialto. Who says
San Bernardino is dead? While in fact
she is one of the most progressive cities
on the coast. An electric railway would
pay almost treble horse-car line, and
more 80 when running to places outside
of the city, where many people would
ride just for the ride.
Frank II. Mccormack, OF San Francis
co, representing the Rock Island railway
company on this coast, is in the city.
