ANOTHER ASSAULT.
A White Lady Assaulted and Rob-
he'd by n Black Brute.

San Antonio is becoming noted as the
nest of a lot of the crooked fraternity, who
have been unusually active this winter in
carrying on their nefarious transactions.
Robberyand thugs have ran rampant and
from appearance and developments il
does not seem in the power Of the police
TO ever check them.
What with the midnight assassins who
early in the fall and winter smashed the
heads of campers in the camp yards, and
later the fellows who knocked down and
robbedMiss Loeb, in front of her residence,
and an old lady in Travis park, the ac-
tions of crooks would fill page.
Last night similar crime was COM
mitted on the person of Mrs. Chas. Bull,
whose husband is barkeeper at VIM.
Reuters saloon, on Alamo and Commerce
streets
This lady had been to the city to buy
groceries, and was returning on the East
Commerce street electric car line to her
home on Olive street. She got off the car
on Olive street at about 1880 o'clock and
had not gone far when a negro man,
containing her purse. She had a bundle
of groceries under her arm. but resisted
him and pulled away. Then he struck
her in the mouth with his fist, knocking
her down. She chung to her money and
he tried to wrench it from her. In the
fight on the ground he placed his knee
on her chest and tore first the
purse and then the bundle from
her and fled. The lady raised the alarm,
ran home and the mounted police were
called by telephone, but could find no
trace of the man when they arrived.
The package Of groceries was found
near the scene of the encounter, opened
and thrown on the ground. The negro
could not be found. Mrs. Bull could not
positively identify the man except that
he was black.
Ladies should be careful about going
on the streets after dark hereafter. There
are too many of these affairs occurring
lately

The extraordinary speedy action Of

mendable on the grounds of public policy,

Baby Ruth Christened.
New York World.

Baby Ruth has been christened, and
not more than half dozen souls in the
world knew word about it. There
was sweet, solemn ceremony at the
gray cottage on the outskirts Of Lake
wood, \. j., Thursday afternoon.
Baby Ruth has been Ruth Cleveland
for some time now, but on Saturday,
by the word Of the parson and the lay
ing on Of hands, she had official and
ecclesiastical title to her name.
The Rev. DR.. Wilton Merle Smith,
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
church, ofthis city, was the man who
did himself the horcr Of naming the
baby. He and his wife and an aunt Of
Mrs. C.eveland's were the only ones
outside of the family who looked upon
the christening.
While the minister was going through
the formula Of baptism the little cir!
cuddled in her fathers big strong tariff
reform arms, and Mrs. Cleveland stood
by. When the bsby wriggled little
at the touch ofthe churchly hand upon
her head the stroug arm rocked her to
and fro and she was still again.
Then there was luncheon il honor
of the christening, and afterwards Mr..
Cleveland came to town. Hebas been
traasacting law work aud making
plans and speeches, but never o word
did he say about the christening.

Willie Wolfe on the Legislature.
10 ton Plant.

\ good many express Disappointment
that very few acts oi Il general public
nature were passed at the recent ses-
sion. 1t is true that it appears more
work could have been done; still It
must be remembered that the large
majority of the members sent there by
the "Reformers' were men ineXperi-
enced in legislative matters; that 1t
takes time to effect changes; and that
in all probability more was expected
than could be done. The legislature in
my opinion was unfortunate IN It's
leaders; there were too many; and they
were, generally speaking, the light
weightsn of the body. There were able
and conservative men in the body,
but they were modest and retiring,
consequently did not cut much OF
figure in the proceedings.
1t does not take men long 10 learn
that the fellow who says the most ana
says it quickest is not always the ablest
and most brilliant man. 1t is safe to
say we will have another reform
legislature, but many new faces will be
seer and altogether the people VIII
have profited by the experience.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
A Question Of Proper Advertising Before the
Supreme Court.
THE Register.

lie heSlSlet
4 case concerning small matter,
but important 20 the public owing to
its bearing on G. question Of general i'm
port, was up before the Supreme Court
yesterday. TIE facts of the case are as
follows: Philip Messervey gave John
D. Alexander Il mortgage on some land
at Summervilla. Alexander foreclosed
through Mr.. Boyd. The property had
only been advertised fer sale nineteen
days before the sale occurred. Ine
Master OF Colleton County posted the
notice on the court house door Novem-
Der y, ISIS, and published it in the
Colleton Press on November IA, p and
IS, 1855 and sold on December 5, 1888.
B. Sauls bought the property for $40,
about one-thicteenth of its real value.
The sale was reported on February 26,
1889, and Alexander filed exceptions
thereto on February ., of same year.
Judge Izlar heard the cause and over
ruled the exceptions. Notice of an ap-
peal was then filed.
W. J. Fishburne opened for Alexan-
der. Mr.. Farrow, Of Howell, Murphy
& Farrow, Walterboro, followed for
Sauls, and Major H. E. Young, of Char
lesion, replied for Alexander.
The case is very important, as many
other sales have been made in similar
manner. The principal points of Alex
ander's attorneys were the shortness OF
the notice, the fact that no notice was
given Alexander or his attorneys, and
the unreasonable advantage OBJ
tanned by Sauls in purchasing for $40
land worth about $1,000 to $1,000.

A Story on Senator Vance.

Senator Vance, Of North Carolina
unques:icnably the champion story tel
ler Of the Senate, has broad stripe OF
Calvinism down his back, though he is
not a communicate of the Church. 1t
is told of him that riding along in
Buncombe County one day he over
took a venerable darkey, with whom
he thought he would have "a little
fun"
"Uncle," said the Governor, "are
you going to church ?'
"No, sab, not edzactly-I'm gwine

"You're a Baptist, I rccEon-now

"No, sab, air't no Baptist, do most

"Methodist, then ?"
"No, sab, I amt no Mefodis,' mud

"Campbellite? ?"
"No, sab, I can't errogate to myself
de Camelite way of thinkin'."
"Well, what in the name Of good
ness are you, then ?" rejoined the Gov
ernor remembering the narrow range
of choice in religions among North
Carolina negros.
"Well, de fac is, sab, my old marster
was a Herruld of de Cross in de Pres

"What You don't mean it? Why,

went at him again:

"Why, do you believe that if a man
is elected to he saved he will be saved,
and that if he is elected to be damned
he will be damned?'
"Oh, yes, boss, I believe dat. It's
Gospel talk, dat is"
"Well, now, take my case. Do you
belive that I am elected to be saved ?"
The old man struggled for moment
with his desire to be respectful and
polite and then shcok his head
obviously.
"Come, now, answer my question:
pressed the Governor. What do yon
say?'
"Well, I tell you what It's, Marse
