Outrageous Assault.
A Little Girl, Eight Years Old,
theSubjeet of a Roanoke
Negroes Brutality.

Roanoke Va. May 25th.-Fred
HairstOn, a negro, about twenty
FIVE years cd, was arrested to-day
for assaulting Blanch. the eight
year old daughter of Henry w. Lit
treai, last Wednesday. The child
and her family had been threatened
with death if she informed On the
negro. To-day she was prevailed
upon to tell who assaulted her.
HaiFSton suspected that his crime
had become known and went to MI
Littreal, begged not to be arrested,
and threatened to kill himself be-
fore submitting to it. Seeing pO-
licemaH enter the yard, he dashed
into the kitchen and slashed his
throat with a razor. After a terri
BILE struggle he was disarmed, and
his wound was dressed. He was
sent to Lynchbufg to prevent the
people from taking the law into
their own hands.-Staunton Post.

AN ELECTRIC RAILROAD To
4 MONTERREY.

= Our esteemed contemporary the
News, thinks an electric rail way be-
tween Stanton and Monterey is
feasible. We are inclined to agree
Awith it, and to add that it would be
profitable. The subject Of rail
road not electric for electric rail-
roads were not known then to
! Monterey was agitAted in 1885, by
I the Staynton Chamber Of Commerce
1t was inauggratsd by q resolution
offered BY Charles L. Weller In
adyocstipg it Col J. G. Shields, who
j: familiar with the commercial i'd
yantages of every section Of Virgin
ia, gave some very interesting data
M support of building a road to
Highland. That county, be show
sed, had 10000 acres in woodlands
ysnd valuable Forests, had about g.
600 acres in cleared and grass fqtl-
lions In cultivation, had 2,5CS }iirh
ews and 5000 other cattle, IT, .

sheep, 1000 hogs, over 1000 hors.
es, and raises over 10000 pounds Of
wool These were the figures of the
census Of 1880; but Of course they
would be larger now based on that
Of 1890. Even then, Highland SUI
passes the great county of Clarke
in cattle and was equal to Smythe
in the Southwest. A railroad to
Highland would draw the trade of
Pocahontas. Pendleton, Randolph
and other West Virginia counties.
1t was estimated in the discus
sion OF nine years ago. that par-
row gauge railroad to Monterey
would cost $4,000 mile or some
where in the neighborhood of $500
600. But an electric railroad which
would dispense with the grading
and almost follow the levels of the
present country roads, would not
cost near that. Certain it is that
Staunton must have a railroad to
that section if it would hold its trade
and as step towards clearer Wis
ion of the matter weIwould suggest
that our Chamber of Commerce o.
pen a correspondence with some
accepted authority to ascertain
something about the cost Of electric
roaas.-Staunton indicator.

A TEN.YEAR-OLD HEROINE

INDIANAPOLIS, May ga medal
bearing the insignia of the Legion
of Honor has been presented by the
French Government to Jennie
Cleek, the little ten-year-old girl of
MyckfoEd, who saved a train load
Of Worlds Fair passengers on the
Pan Handle Railroad last summer.
While walking along the track she
discovered that the trestle across a
deep ravine was on fire and the
Worlds Fair express with several
hundred people on board was nearly
due. With remarkable presence of
mind the little one tore off her red
flannel pettioOat, ran down the track
until she came in sight of the APP
preaching train and waived her
skirt as a danger signal.
A number of French passengers
were aboard the train. They called
the attention of the French Worlds
Fair Commissioner to the incident
and he in turn laid it before Presi-
dent Carnot, who at once ordered
a medal struck of the Legion of
Honor for Miss Cleek.

A negro wretch assaulted a white
girl. Roanoke is the place this time.
The lesson Taught such brutes a
few days ago at Stanton failed in
It's purpose in this instance. 1t
seems that lynch law has been a
failure, torturing in it's worst f. rm
will not do officers, law and JUS
tice are not sufficient to terrorize
this class, then the question of
great Importance arises; what can
be done TO insure protection for in
nocent little girls and helpless
women? The Roanoke papers de-
manda speedy triaiand appeal to tie
people to let the law deal with the
bru'e, but if found guilty and
the sentence of death passed upon
him, it will not help the little girl
and her family, but this is all that
can be done. This danger is to be
Ter with us. !

MISTERIOUSLY HURT.

Mr. John Trim bic, who lives il
the Hebron Church neighborhood
left town late Saturday night to e
home by the railroad. and was found
by a colOred man early yesterday
morning at the bottom of the rail-
road bank with large cash in his
head, and bruised considerably a.
bout the body. He was conscious
when found, and after some Difficult
ty was helped home by the colored
man.
1t seems from his account that
he had been drinking and had left
town about midnight. He said he
walked on the track for
some distance, and then feeling tired
sat down on it and that was all he
remembered. Judging from his in
juries, it is probable he was struck
by the midnight train and knocked
down the bank where he was found
in condition described.
DIR H. H. Henkel, who attended
him, says that Mr. Trjmble's injur-
ies are not MS serious as at first
thought. There were no bones
broken, though his neck was badly
ypepphed. If it was the train that
struck him he was no doubt sitting
on the end Of q cr4ssstie. 1t was a
great wonder that he was not cut
en to pieces, instead Of being mere
y cut and bruised. -Staunton Post.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Corresp ondent.l

Washington, May 28th, 1894
Signs are plenty that the republi-
can Senators are ready to give up
their useless fight against the tariff
/ bill, and intimations have been Civ
en- to Senator Harris by their Lead
ers that If he would not carry out
his announced intention of COMPEL
ing long night sessions this week
an agreement might be reached up
on date for the taking of a final
vote upon the bill. As the easiest
way IS always the best way Senator
Harris will defer for few days the
holding Of night sessions, in order
to see whether an amicable arrange
ment can be reached with the re-
publicans. If so, alright and good;
if not, the democrats are all prepar-
ed to endure any amount Of person.

to force a vote. It is the expecta-
ton of the demo cratic Senators
that the bill will be passed in time
for the conference committee to
get their work endorsed by both
House and Senate and the bill sign.
ed by President Cleveland before
the first day of July. Only one
democratic vote is in doubt-that
of Senator Hill, and after he fails
to get the income tax struck out of
the bill it is believed he will fall in
to line and vote for the bill.
1t seems hardly necessary to say
chat the stories printed in republic
cen papers about the great cost to
the government Of the little vaca-
ton trip of President Cleveland and
Secretaries Carlisle and Gresham, ON
the light house tender Violet, were
entirely false. The presence of
those gentlemen on the little boat
did not cost the government one
cent. The Violet made her regular
trip, supplying the light houses
with oil, etc, and the passengers
table waa supplied at President
Cleveland's personal expense. The
Viz 1T was not even delayed, Mr..
Cleveland insisting before the start
that the fishing and hunting should
only be done while the boat was
transferring supplies to the light
houses, and that rule was adhered
to during the trip.
