THE MAIDEN ASSAULT CASE.
Young Morton's AssaiIant and How
the Deed Was Planned

MAIDEN, Dec. II. - Young Mortons
assailant is middle aged man, stout,
fieshy, with beard, and looks like an Ital-
ian or jew. He had been seen around the
Morton residence very much of late
and has tried twice without sue
scess to take young Morton's life.
The last time was this morning when
young Morton after breakfast went to his
fathers greenhouse and found the win
dows open. He at first supposed that his
father had left them so, in order TO let in
fresh air, but turning around he
saw his man standing back
of him with of 32-calibre revolver in his
hand which he pointed at Newton's heal.
For five minutes they fought hard, the
stranger all the while trying TO fire
telling" shot At length he threw Mars
ton on the floor and exclaimed:
II have you now and | mean to kill
YOU" at which he fired at Marston's head.
Young Marston raised his arm in defense
and the bullet entered his arm. above the
elbow. If blood poisoning does not set in,
this wound will not prove fatal. The as
sailant said that if this did not kill him,
''he would do it later"

STONEwALL JACKSON.
His Careful Observance of the Sabbath
A Battle Was a Necessity.

The religion OF Stonewall Jackson is an
enigma to many who study the life Of the
great soldier, while to others It Is scorn
and derision. To those who seek Q sub
ject for caricature, the eccentricities In
which he carried some things to an ex-
treme, furnish plenty OF material for their
small wit. Such was his rigid observance
OF the Sabbath. Not only did he refrain
from all worldly occupations on that day,
he would not even write o. letter, nor read
one IL he received II, eveE though II was
from her who was soon 10 be his wife. He
was sure that IL would keep its sweetness
till the next day. and meanwhile he had
the pleasure OF anticipation. Nay. moro.
he would not post letter on Saturday
lest II should travel on Sunday. One
exception, however, he was compelled to
make. Sometimes he had to fight o bat
tie on that holy day; but that he looked
upon as work OF necessity" if not Of
mercy" and then he would keep Mon
day So scrupulous was he not to defraud
the Lord OF His just due that he would
sometimes keep two or three days run
ming to balance tho account--Hsrpsr's

East Tennessee people are reported to be
the principal buyers Of Richmond Termi-
nal securities to-day. They began buying
yesterday. The reasons gwen for this
change of front are these
First, the East Tennessee Company has
found a market for million OF its new
bonds above 75 and is negotiating for the
sale of more of its treasury bonds.
Second, investigation into the condition
of Richmond Terminal shows that the
company can be pulled out of its financial
difficulties without assessing the stock.
Some of the present interests in the COM
pany who have not heretofore taken so
confident a view of the situation and
therefore keep their holdings of Richmond
Terminal stocks very small, are now max
ing efforts to increase their holdings. This
is considered significant
