LONDON, April G.-The asaaulting OF
women upon railway trains is becoming
such frequent occurrence, that tho op.
ponents Of the English compartment
system arc continually gaining acces.
siona TO their numbers. The latost case
is reported this morning. Passengers
IN q compartment OF o car attached TO q
train on route for Rusbon, = town OF
Dcnbisshirc, Wales. were startled by
hearing piercing shrieks coming from
tho rear OF tho car. Upon looking out
they saw q girl about thirteen years old
standing upon tho loot board, clutching
tho hand rail with all her strength.
Tho train was running at Il good ratc OF
spood, and 1t appeared as though she ,
would DO thrown to tho ground ut any
moment. With great difficulty, and at
great risk. she made her way along the
foot board to the next compartment
where shc was taken in. Her clothing
WIS disarrangoa and sho was in terri
bio state OF excitement.
She was quiuted so far as possible,
and thon she explained that she and
an unknown man were tho solo occu-
pants OF tho compartments shc had lett.
Tho man had engaged he- in converse.
tion and finally had mado improper
proposals to her. Siic rejected his ad-
vance, whercupon he had seized her,
and despite her resistance and her cries
for help, which were drowned by the
rumbliug OF the train, had brutally as.
saultcd her. When shc escaped from
his grasp she jumped ont on the foot
board and shriefcd FOR help. The man
became alarmed and fearing arrest, he,
too, got ont on tho footboard and
sleadying himself for q moment Jump
cd otl the train.
When the next station was reached
the police were notified Of the occur
renee, and search was made for the
girts assailant. No trace of him was
found.
The girls name is Williams. Shc was
iourneyins IRON Langollen. She says
that when the man seized her she
reached out and tried to pull the alarm
cord, but found that it was broken, thus
leaving her at the mercy OF her assail-
ant, whose greatly superior strength
rendered the girl helpless in his hands.
The railway officials believe that the
man in pursuance OF his plan TO assault
the girl had previously broken the alarm
cord so sho could not possibly attract
the attention of the guards. From the
description Of the man given to the po-
: lice by the girl'ho is recognized as an
old and we'll known offender.
