A COwARDLY ASSAULT.

1t Was Made Upon One of Palmer's
 Wealthfest Citizens and May Re-
 suit in Murder-The Assailant Not
 Captured.
 PALMER, Mass., July 19.-A cowardly and brutal assault that may prove a mur- der, resulting in the death of one of Palmer's wealthiest and most prominent citiz ms, was made this afternoon on w. s. Lawrence at farm about mile and a half from the village. MT. Lawrence had recently purchased the farm, and this af- ternoon was calling on neighbor when a tramp appeared aud asked for work. MT. Lawrence said he could give him a job un- loading hay in bis barn and would go and show him.
 While standing on the barn floor giving the fellow directions, he was suddenly struck on the back of the head with a stone in the hands of the tramp and near ly knocked down. He recovered his equilibrium only to receive fearful blow ill the mouth followed by another on the left eye and more on top of the head. He ran for the house followed by his assail- ant.
 A young man at the house saw him and ran out with shotgun, and as the tramp made off fired at him, wounding him in the leg. An alarm was at once given, and the neighbors turned out in pursuit of the fellow, who had taken to the woode. The fire bells were rung, and a large company joined in the chase, but so far the fellow has eiuded his pursuers. He is described es mulatto of short statue rather thick set, slightly gray, and between thirty and forty years old.
 MT. Lawrences wounds are considered dangerous, and the chances are against re- covery. He has 8 large cut on the back of his head, another on his temple. his left eye is crushed and the left side of his upper jaw smashed, besides six or eight other bruises

TIT WAS A SURPRISE,

Rose Water Did Excellent Trottfng
 at the Detroit RRees-She Was an
 Outsider.
 DETROIT, July 19.-Another biz crowd assembled at the Detroit Driving park to- day. The frst event was the 2:21 pace, unfinished from yesterday. Christo Queen took the fifth and sixth heats, but not without working hard for them. Then Drelincourt captured the race by taking three straight heats.
 In the 2.22 trot Katie Earle was the fs- vorite. It the first heat La Tosca took the lad at the start and no one could overtake the horse. For the second heat La Tosca was the favorite. Fascination gave La Toscs 6 great battle in the stretch and pushed her so hard that she broke thirty feet from the wire. Fascination trotted steadily and the judges gave her the heat. The next two heats were La Tosca's in the easiest way.
 The first heat of the 2:I5 pace WAS A surprise to everyone. At Van Swift and Henry F. were the fsvorites, but Rose Water, 50 to 1 shot, came under the wire first. Jessie L. took the next two heats and the race went over till tomorrow on account of darkness.
 The free for all trotting also went over after Walter E. had taken two heats and Nightingale one. Before the race began Martha Wilkes was the fsvorits.

A SENSATIONAL CHARGE.

1t is Brought A gainst Russell Sage by aWoman who Wants One Hundred Thousand Dollars Bamages-BeIIa
 Keegan Claims That He R Ruined Her
 Twenty-Five Years Ago Under Prom
 1se of Marriage.
 NEW YORK, July 19.-Russell Sage has been sued for s100.000 damages for seduc- tion under promise of marriage.
 The plaintiff in the suit is Della Kee- gan. She alleges that the offense for which she now seeks legal redress oc cured in 1868. when MT. Sage was widower.
 The complaint was served by-J. Baptist Marshall of 96 adway, the lawyer for Mrs. Keegan on April 29 last. Previous to that date demand had been made on MT. Sage for settlement, but he declined to come to terms, insisting that it was an at- tempt at blackmail. He was then warned that the suit would be begun and hs di- rected that all the papers should be served on his lawyer, H. s. Bennett. After ob- taining several extensions MT. Bennett put in Mir. Sage's answer on June 26. Since that time both eides have been fencing to secure advantages without making the matter public.
 MT. Marshall obtained an order from Judge Bishof on the court of common pleas, in which the action is brought, di- recting MT. Sage to file his answer with the clerk of the court on July 13 Mir. Bennett got stay of this order, and yes terday, on motion to vacate this stay, the whole story at last came out before Judge Bcokstaver, sitting in common pleas, cham bers.
 In 1863, when Russell Sage went to housekeeping with his first wife in the handsome place where he still lives, st 605 Fifth avenue, he had for 8 cook an Irish woman. After 6 time she told Mrs. Sage that she had two sisters in Ireland who were anxious to come to America to better their fortunes She asked permission to bring these girls into the Sage establish ment when they came over.
 In due course of time the girls arrived and Mrs. Sage having consented to receive them. they took up their abode in the Fifth avenue house.
 The younger of these two Irish immi- grants is the woman who is now suing MT. Sage for $100,000 damages. In her com platnt she alleges that after the death of the first Mrs. Sage in 1867 Mr. Sage became ex- ceedingly attentive to her. His love ap- parently increased with each day and final ! ly, she alleges, he engaged himself to marry her. Under this promise, plaintiff averts, she was ruined in 1868.
 After she gave birth to child, she says, MT. Sage deserted her and she has had a l severe struggle ever since to maintain an existence. No attempt is made in the | complaint to explain why the woman, if | she has cause of action at all, waited over twenty five years to assert it.

RELIEVES HE IS DROWN NED.
GOOD TENNIS PLAYING.

Wrenn and Stevens Gave an Exhf-
 bitiOn of Excellent Work at the
 Longwood Courts.
 LoNGwooD, Mass, July 19.-The pre- Hminary and first and second rounds of the tennis tournament have now been completed, with the exception of two matches, one between R D. Wrenn and A. J. Wellington, the other between A. E. Foote, the Yale champion, and E. Stevens of Cambridge, @ well-known interschol- astic player. In the Wrenn- Wellington match this morning from the beginning 1t was seen that Wellington stood no chance, though he did the best he could against his lively antagonist. Wrenn won in three sets by ecore of 60, 6 9, 6 1. Stevens and Foote were the next pair. The Yale man won the first set st 6-1. The young Cambridge man won one more game in the second set than he did In the last, and Foote put another get to his credit at 6 3. The third set was repetition of the other two, in which Stevens was plucky to the end. His deliberate opponent was never pushed to any extent and Yale wins the match 4.
 Malcolm Chace played G. H. Crocker in the last match of the day. MT. Crocker is 8 veteran player. Crocker won the first two games of the first set. His young op. ponent then took five straight games and l then after losing the next one ran out the set, 6-3. The second set was very exciting | and the older player gave Chace all the | tennis he wanted, but the latter stuck strictly to business and succeeded in pull | ing the get out at 6-4 The last set wa! very easy work for Chace, who won at 0 There were to be three matches in thu afternoon and after the players had dined | all were fit to play for their lives. All thu l old tennis sports of Boston and vicinit, | were present. The middle court had beer
 carefully arranged for the great match oi | the afternoon between R. D. Wrenn, tn left handed racket wielder from Harvard and Richard Stevens of Hoboken. N.
 The match from the beginning was an ex hibition of clever and quick net volleying
 opposed to the everlsstingly stead
 and accurate back court game of Stevens
 Wrenn scored and followed up his servic
 by rapid net play, and very soon the frs
 game went to his credit. Stevens too
 the next game in good style. It was nov
 seen that Wrenn was volleying very sccu
 ratsly and whenever he could reach th
 net he sent the ball of at such short ar
 gle that his opponent could not come witt in rod of 1t. At times Wrenn woul
 stay in the back ot his court and attempt
 meet Stevens at his own style of play.
 Vally had an easy time with Lswar an
 kept his opponent on the run most of th
 time. A. E. Foote, the Yale champion
 lost one set to Colby before winning h'
 right to & place In the semifnals.

WOOL DUTY LOWERED.
An Important Change Has Been
 Made and Some Grades Have Been

An Important Change Has Been Made and Some Grades Have Been Lowered 100 Per Cent. WASHINGTON, July 19.-An important change has been made by the treasury de- partment in the classification of wool that will lower the duty on some grades of the | article nearly 100 per cent. The change follows conclusive evidence offered by wool importers that certain grades of high class wool were practically analogous to grades classified lower in the wool schedule of the Mckinley bill. Hereafter the ma tsrial known as 149 and 150 Flamantine akin wool, and 179 Kassapbatchia skin wool, second quality of the first or high est class, will be known as 396 and 3s7 Servian skin wool and 3ss Kassapbatchia skin wool as second quality of the third class.
 The changes in duty cannot be made clear to the layman through the language of the wool law, but the statement may be accepted as true that the duty is consider ably lowered, in some cases, as previously stated, nearly one hundred per cent. This statement fs made at the treasury depart ment.
 Wool growers and importers will be in terested in the extent of the change as shown by the law. First-clas wool, which included the three kinds transferred to class 3, is provided for in the tariff act as follows:
 "Duty upon all wools of this class shall be eleven cents per pound" Wools of the third class are dutiable as follows:
 "On wools of the third class, and on all camels' hair of the third class, the value whereof shall be 13 cents or less per pound, including charges, the duty shall be 32 per cent. ad valorem.
 "On wools of the third class and on camels' hair of the third class, the value whereof shall exceed 13 cents per pound, including charges, the duty shall be 50 per cent. ad valorem."
 Difficulty in classifying wool known as "145 Turkey improved, fleece unwashed," caused the department to omit the wool al together from the schedule, leaving 1t with the appraiser to determine Its quality. The value of this wool differs according to It's condition.

Split at Neustcttin-Opposit to the
 Proposed Heine Monument.
 BERLIN, July 19-The fight between the conservatives and anti-Semites is growing fast and furious at Neustettin. Rector Ahlwardt has decided to sit for his old seat, Ainswalde, and is pushing his friend Dr. Forster's candidature for his second seat, Neustettin, against Dr. stoeeker. Ahl wardt from the platform and Stoecker from the pulpit both thunder against the Jews, Dr. Stoecker denouncing them as responsible for all evils, including the drought in Germany, while Ahlwardt cites the seizure of ecclesiastical monastic prop erty by the Jews at the time of the refor- nation ss 8 precedent for the confscation of all Jewish property before the close of the nineteenth century. Their common hatred against the Jews, however, appears mild beside that which they bear to each other.
 Both the Conservative and the Anti Semites, however, are vehement in theil denunciation of the proposal to erect ( monument to Heine at Mainz, on the ground that the poet was Jew Int | Kruez Zeitung characterizes the proposa | as conspiracy to raise monument o Germany's shame on the banks of the Ger man Rhine

No Doubt of Hts FaIsity Felt at the
 Navy nanarIntnnt

DOuDG OE EG1t ah tne
 Navy Department.
 WASHINGTON, July 19.-Auy doubt that may have exiated in the mind of the act ing secretary of the navy as to the improb ability of the story that the United States steamer Mohican was fired upon and dis abled by the Alexandria in Boring sea has been set at rest. All the latest versions of this preposteroas narrative now agree in fixing the date of the alleged engagement as May 9 The records of the navy de- pertinent show ths. the Mohicsn was at Port Townsend as late as May 27, and that she did not leave for Bsring sea until some time after that.
 SEATTLE. Wash, July 19.-The report that the steamer Alexandria fired on the Mohican in Behring sea Is discredited by the officers of the Topeka, which brought the report from Alaska. The steamer Queen, Captain James Carroll, which left Alaska four days after the Topeka, arrived in port yesterday. Her officers were seen last evening, but they bring no news of the event, nor did they hear of it until they got to Port Townsend and Seattle. They pronounce the story an invention. The Queen brought letter from Captain Minor of the sealing schooner Henry Dennis. Il WAS dated at Sand Point, near the Priby. I loff Islands, on June 27, some time after the alleged firing on the Mohican yet there | is no mention in it of the incident.
 Those who know Captain Mclean of ths Alexandria say. however, that he is des perate character and & noted smuggler
 His former vessel, the ". P. Sayward, wa, seized two years ago while raiding the sea | rookeries. Before he left for the present | voyage he announced that he would resis
 to tho bitter end any attempt to seize hii | vessel. For this reason many are inclined | to give credence to the story that be disa | bled the Mohican with his six pounder. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, July 19 It Il
 now known that the story of the U. S. s
 Mohican having fired at the stealing poseh
 CT Alexandria and being disabled by a re
 turn fire is a esnsrd pure and simple. IT,
 story was started by correspondents of Seat
 tie papers, who practically admit that ther was DO foundation for 1t.
