When passing over Dunn's Hill two OF
Franks mules broke away aud galloped up
the hill into the brush. Franks alighted and,
after tying the three remaining mules to a
tree, started in pursuit of the runaways.
In the chase Franks was obliged to pass
over the brow of the hill and lost sight of
the mules he left tied to the trees, and after
considerable trouble he succeeded in captur.
ing the two stray animals.
Upon going back to the starting point
Franks found that the other three mules
had broken their fastenings to the trees and
disappeared. He started on another hunt
leading the captives and was dismayed upon
finding the three mules at the bottom of a
deep mine breach in the midst of thick
brush on the top of the hill.
Franks hurried to the Turkey Run colliery
with the two mules that had first given him
trouble and returned to the breach with as

mules was dead, having apparently been in.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Aug. 2.-The fear
ful epidemic OF outrageous assaults,on lit
tie girls in Chester county continues in
spite Of the fact that there are now six
men in Jail on the charge The ninth and
latest attempt surpasses them all in fiend-
ishness. Morris Boyd. burly negro,
caught the 12year-old daughter of Horace
Macltey, a prominent farmer Of London
Grove township, in the orchard and com.
mitted a brutal assault upon her. He
threw the little one down and pressed a
good sized apple into her mouth as gag.
The little girl was found lying unoon-

from her bruised body.

system. lie attempted more than he was
physically able TO endure. He has not
been in good health since he broke down
in the campaign of 1891. During this
canvass he not only satisfactorily filed
the position OF real estate deputy to the
sheriff of Philadelphia, but, besides per-
forming the eNactng work of the secre-
taryship of the Republican state commit
tee, he acted as assistant secretary of the
Republican national committee. Ere
quently he was i'm his Office until long after
midnight eng aged with a stenographer on
correspondence covering every state in the
union Owing to the condition of his
health Mr. Leach wanted to retire last year
General Reeder was unwilling to accept
the chairmanship, however, unle ess Mr.
Leach became his chief of staff.
Reeder's spien lid Tribute.
'I recognize in Mr. Leach one particu-
larly well qualified for the position" said
General Reeder in announcing his appoint
ment. 'In fact" he added, ~ do not
know another man in the whole state who
is as well fitted to look after the import
ant detail work of the secretaryship. He
has had long experience in this particular
field, and have a very high opinion of his
ability and aptitude for the trying and re-
sponsible duties of the position"
Many of the mostinhuential Republican
newspapers in the state gave llattering
editorial commendation of Mr. Leach's
party services in approving his reappont-
ment to the secretaryship at that time
The last campaign was particularly trying
upon Secretary Leach, owing to the addi-
tional work incident to the introduction Of
the new ballot law
Where Detail Work Counted.
While Mr. Leach has been secretary Of
the state committee since 1885, part of that
time he was not actively engaged on the
routine duties of that Office, Although
still holding th9 position of secretary dur
ing the state campaigns of 1888 and 1890,
Mr.. Leach was deyoting nearly all his
time to the work Of assistant secretary of
the Republican national committee. In
the Delamater campaign, but a month
before the election, he returned to Phila-
delphia, and at his suggestion the city
committee, of which he was a member,
organized a special canvass OF the Third
Congressional district, with Mr.. Leach as
chairman Of the committee in charge of
the party organization The Republican
forces made masterly battle and re-
duced the Democratic majority in this dis
trict by about 5000 votes.
Perilous Work in the South.
In the national campaign of 1883 Chair
man Quay assigned Mr.. Leach to an inn
portant and perilous canvass of North
Carolina. Mr. Leach took entire charge OF
the Republican campaign in that state.
He made an effective still hunt. His mis-
sion was only discovered a few days before
the election. Although his life was threat
ened be held his ground until the close OF
the polls. He perfected an organization
such as had never been known in any
southern state before. Mr.. Leach had the
satisfaction Of knowing that, though the
state was lost, three Republican congress-
men were elected, which really saved the
house Of the Fifty-Arst congress 70 the Re
publican party, for despite ths Democratic

Chalmers Dubbs, Of Saltillo, this county,
hearing a suspicious noise about his prem

porch. On opening the door he was seized
by three masked men, who stuffed paper
gag in his mouth and then tied him with
a clothes line to the porch railing. Duhbs
had been saving his earnings, amounting
to about $500, to build house, and this he
kept under his pillow. The robbers, after
tying Dubbs, went to his room and secured
the money without awaking his wife.
They then fed to Jacks mountains.

Although he must relinquish the details
of organization work for time Mr. Leach
proposes TO continue an active interest and
participation in state politics, He expects
COW ion, to which he is a delegate. As
secretary OF the Philadelphia delegation,
and of the committee having Judge FelPs
canvass for the supreme bench in charge
Mr.. Leach has n particular interest in the
gathering at Harrisburg on Aug. 80
There is no doubt that it will be difficult
to find a man as capable as Mr., Leach for
the secretary ship Of the state committee
At best it is q thankless task, there being
no salary attached to the Office, and the
onerous duties and great responsibilities
Mr. Leach is admittedly one of the cleverest
ucticians and most skillful organizers in
the state.

AN EMPTY SENSATION.

Tess Ignorance.

One of the Alleged Interested Parties Pro
Tess Ignorance.
A story got abroad yesterday that promi-
nont young man Of town and lady friend had
a sensational experience while driving to
town from Mabanoy City on Sunday evening,
but an investigation by a reporter modified
the circumstances. As the tale went the
young man found when nearing Indian
Ridge breaker that four unknown men were
piling railroad sills, which had been dumped for
the Lakeside electric railway in such man
ner as TO prevent carriages from passing over
the turnpike. The young man thought
robbery was the motive of the men and APP
piled the whip to his horse, which went
bounding over the sills, pulling the carriage
and its occupants in safety after it. Upon his
arrival here the young man is reported to
have told thrilling tale and some parties
who heard it and knew that one of our most
prominent business men would drive over
the same road to town during the night went
out to the breaker armed with shot guns and
pistols. They found the railroad sills on the
highway, but could get no trace OF any Of
the four men.
The prominent business man who was to
have received the aid Of the armed rescuers
drove to town over the same road later in the
night without any mishap and without meet
ing with the experience such as the young
man is said to have met. The business man
said to day that he had heard something OF
the affair, but he believed the whole thing
was joke. He believes some of the young
mans friends know who piled the railroad
sills on the highway, if there was such an
act and he denied that any armed men
went out to the scene, "Dou't mix me up in
such foolish thing as thai" he said in con-
cusion.
