The new fifteen puzzle, recently in
vented and put upon the market by
Messrs. Martin & Wolfes, is attracting
much attention. 1t is composed of nine
little square blocks with the figures 1. 2
3. 4. 5, 6, 2, SO. upon each, and so ar.
ranged in three rows, that they count
fifteen eight different ways. The key tc
the puzzle is by moving one to the space
insthe box below, then Transporting any
two figures in the combination, move
figure one in the square above, and gel
the same effect as before. The solution
is in knowing what two figures in the
combination to move in order to get the
right count. The solution and the pug.

FALSE REPORT
winch Came Near Causing the Life
OF an Innocent Man


An exciting report was circulated on
Saturday afternoon TO the effec, that
Robert Schools, resident of Eastport
had committed a felonious assault on
Jennie Springer the twelve year-old
daughter Of Captain Charles Springer.
which we are glad to say is utterly false.
and promptly denied by the girl herself,
and the wife of Schools. The report
created the widest excitement, and offi
GERS and searching parties were out
scouting the neighboT for the slleg-
ed assailant, and had he been captured
at the time his life would have been in
danger. A CAPITAL reporter visit
ed the scene OF the reported outrage
yesterday, and has learned the
following particulars of the affair Jen-
ME Springer,a bright and intelligent look
ing girl, about twelve years old, and her
Younger sister. daughters of Captain
Charles Springer, have been living with
the Schools family since the death of
their mother. about year ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Schools have taken the same inter
est in the girls as if they were
members Of their own fami
ly. The father follows the water.
and seldom sees his children except when
he returns from his trips. and placed his
daughter with the Schools family in order
that they might attend the village school
Mrs. Schools said she had heard nothing
whatever Of the charge against her hus-
band until Saturday afternoon, when he
ran toward her in an excited manner and
addressing her by name, exclaimed, my
God, Edmonia, i am ruined Jennie Spring.
er has told lot of stories about me. |
am innocent, but shall have TO leave
you for my life is in danger lie then
babe her good bye. She stated further
that her husband treated her kindly, was
fond of the children, and that his sudden
departure was due to excitement, as he
was OF very nervous temperament. He
| had been to Annapolis she said, to make
| purchases for his boat, and while there
heard of the first time that he had been
accused for the assault and that a war
rant was out for his arrest. The girl
when asked about the report stated that
there was not particle of truth in the
statement. She explained that she and
several of the school girls had been talk
ing about the Forbes hanging en- Fri
day, when she thoughtlessly remarked
that she had been assaulted by Mr. Schools
who put his arms around her on Sunday
night and kissed her. THE school girls, -
she continued, probably talked il over
and it was communicated from one TO
another until the report became exagera-
ted He never committed the assault, as
charged" Schools was employed in the
Naval Academy until year ago, when
he received his discharge. The report
of the assault, following so closely the
hanging of Forbes, so incensed the peo-
pie of the neighborhood that the man
would no doubt have been severely dealt
with had he been captured Mrs Schools
has no knowledge of the whereabouts OF
her husband and is in the greatest dis
tress over his sudden disappearance and
fears that he has committed some rash
act in his excitement. DIR. George Wells
visited the girl yesterday, and says there
is no truth in the resort whatever.
