WAYLAID ON THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
4 bold assault was attempted last night
about Z o'clock, on the Aqueduct Bridge,
near Rosslyn, on Mrs. Mary Davis and
Miss Lizzie Gentry, two white women,
who had sold small farm near VIM
chester, and were on their way to visit
Mr.. Johnson, q brother of Mrs. Davis,
who lives in the county, n few miles
from the bridge. The two woman, ac-
companied by an elcven-year.old child
of Mrs. Davis, had walked to Harper's
Ferry and came down from there on a
canal boat. They arrived in George
town yesterday afternoon and started
across the Aqueduct bridge, intending
to walk to Mr.. Johuson's house before
nightfall. While passing through that
portion of Georgetown known as
Boston" they became aware that
they were being followed by two
negroes. Mrs Davis was i'll, so the two
women were compelled to stop quite often,
and by the time the bridge was reached it was
8 o'clock. They pressed on, however, being
extremely DESTROYS of reaching their deStina'
ton as soon as possible. When very near the
end OF the bridge one of the negroes went to
Miss Gentry and said that he had some money
for her This alarmed the women. and they
did not heed the remark The negro was
persistent snd followed her. GraspiDg her
firmly by the arm he held her and said she
would have to go with him anyway. The
other negro had by this time seized Mrs Dav-
is. The women cudeayored 10 escape, but
were dragged down au embaukmert near the
end of the bridge, within few hundred feet
ofSeveral dwellings when their loud screams
attracted attention and scared the negroes,
who ran away to the woo Is. Help soon came
and the women told their story. Instantly a
search was instituted for the men, but they
were successful in cluGiug their pnrSuers.
The women were taken 10 the Seventh pre-
Cinct Georgetown, where their story was told
in full TO the officers. Accommodations fol
the night were given ;hem ana to-day they
will ride to the house OF Mr.. Johnson. The
negroes were described as being quiet young
aud very stoutly built Both Were dressed in
dark clothes and wore derbys. One wore 9
light overcoat and shattered greatly. The po
lice think they know the men.

finally disarmed his wife of the ins ru-

her tg,s dc combM. The correspondent
and his friend, at this crisis, it is said,
undertook to interpose, when the hus-
band sought his revolver, which, how
ever, had been taken from a drawer IN
which it was kept. The two men, not
,ariuc to face an angry husband in his
house. aud supposing he would soon
ind the pistol, concluded to act the
rart of prudence and leave. During
the early part of the night the still en-
a,perated husband went to King street
and entered the saloon of friend.
While there he exhibited pistol which
he proceeded to load. He next went
10 the saloon of the man who had ac-
companied his wife in the evening and
finding him and another man who had
been with his wife, grew menaclng.
He said he was looking for fighting
men and was fixed for anybody. He
was eventually gotten out of the sa-
loon and subsequently the proprie-
tor went to the station house and swore
out warrant against him. This mnrn-
Ing in the Mayors Court he gave de-
scription of the visit the two men and
his wife made to his saloon and said
ne looked for his pistol in order to
defend himself. Finding that the wea-
pom had been stolen, he went to store
on King street last night and purchas-
ed another. The Mayor he Id him in
the sum of 500 to keep the peace.
