ASSAULTED ON A RAILWAY.
Another Argument Against the English
Compartment System.

LONDON, April Passengers in q
compartment of car attached to a
train bound for Ruabon, a town Of Dem
bigshire. Wales, were startled by hear
ing piercing shrieks coming from the
rear Of the car. Upon looking ont they
saw girl about 10 years old standing
upon the tootboard. clutching the hand
rail with all her strength. With great
difficulty and risk she made her way
along the footboard to the next com
partment. where she was taken in.
She was In terrible state of excite
ment, and when quieted explained that
she and an unknown man were the sole
occupants of the compartment she had
left. The man had engaged her in con.
yersation, aud finally had made i'm
proper proposals to her. She repealed
his advances, whereupon he had seized
her and, despite her resistance and her
cries for help, had brntally assaulted
her. When she escaped from his grasp
she jumped, ont on the footboard and
shrieked for help. The man became
alarmed, and fearing arrest he, too, got
out on the footboard, and, steadying
himself for moment, jumped off the
train.
When the next station was reached
the police were notified of the occur
renee, and search was made for the
girls assailant. No trace of him was
found.

Republicans Claim Michigan.

DETROIT, Mich, April lit is said
by The Tribune tRep.) that Republican
mayors were chosen in upward Of thirty
five Michigan municipalities at Mon
days election, against twenty-three or
more cities or incorporated villages in
which Democratic mayors We're chosen.
The former included all the cities in the
state having population in excess of
5000, with six exceptions, one of which,
Detroit, now has a Republican mayor.
1t was in the smaller places mainly that
Democratic mayors were chosen. The
significance of this fact, says The
Tribune. is that the larger cities were
Democratic strongholds; which have
been captured by the Republicans. In
eleven or more of the most important
cities of the state Democratic mayors
will be succeeded by Republicans, and
in the majority of these cases the entire
municipal administration Will likewise
pass into Republican hands.
