A Most Revolving Crime.

On last Sunday evening, near West
Fork, about three or four miles from
Westlake on a straight line, was commit
ted Il most dastardly, inhuman and revolt
ingcrime. Blanche Ocreman and her little
brother had proceeded short distance
into the woods for the purpose Of picking
berries. They We're aCCOsted by Il negro
called Henry Jones, who persuaded the
little boy to go to Il creek or bayou a short
distance away to examine some lines he
had set. Neither Of the children sus-
pected any evil intent, but 10 sooner
had the little boy gone than the negro
tiend assaulted the girl who Immediately
screened in terror, the brute meanwhile
drawing knife, threatened to kill her
if she did not desist and submit to him.
She continued TO cry ont and the little
boy returned and belabOTed the negro
over the head With his string Of fish
which he had in his hand. At this the
black brute got mp and ran away. The
boy ran home and told his father JAS.
pursuit with his gun and saw the man in
the distance but did not get near enough
to fire on him.
The sheriff and his deputies started i'm
mediately in pursuit of the beast as soon
as the facts were known, but to this date
no clue to bis whereabouts has been dis
covered. Sheriff Reid found a negro in
Orange that answered to his descriptiO Oh
but he proved not to be the one wanted.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that he will be
captured and meet Il well deserved fate.

They Defrauded Chicago Ticket BROKERS
Out of 81, 700 Taught at Their Work.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-W. X. Metcalf
and w. ii. McNutt, wire-tappers and
swindlers, were landed in the county
Jail on charges of forgery and obtain,
ing money under false pretences. The
men defrauded two Clark street ticket
brokers out of $1,000 by interesting
them into scheme to tap the Western
Union wires and loot downtown pool
rooms by delaying telegraphic commu-
nication from the race tracks and bet
tinr on the information.
Detective krick was introduced to the
sharpers rs wealthy and unsophisti-
Gated youth from Colorado with money
to burn, and the schemers readily in
terested the officer in their proposed
robbery. A room was rented which was
to be the headquarters of the wire
manipulators.
The Western Union officials were on
the alert for McNutt, having been
warned; from New York to watch out
for him. Accordingly the men found il
advisable to remove their quarters to a
hotel on Van Buren, street, near
Plymouth Place. Here complete set
of the most modern and improved tele.
graph paraphernalia was introduced
and the ticket brokers and the supposed
sucker from Colorado lined up to be
skinned" The next move was to EN-.
ploy an electrician named Moffett, who
together with McNutt was to tap the
wires and make the necessary connec-
tions.
Yesterday afternoon, while the wire
tappers were getting in their fine work
ON the hotel roof, six detectives swooped
down on them and caught them red.
handed in the act of clipping wires. The
men were taken to Justice Fosters
court, where the victims made com.

lost. Justice Foster held the prisoners
i'll $4,000 bonds each, in default OIL

SEALING BOATs LOST.


rive tOhnu rIDatiuS topether Ia beu-
ring Sea by British Man-of-war.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Aug, 3.-The
Examiner this morning prints the fol
lowing:
Five sealing boats, fastened together,
have been found floating in the Behring
Seas by British an.of-war and they
probably add another chapter ito the
long list of accidents that haveifollowed
the sealers since they left on hunting
cruises few months ago. In some of
the boats were hunters guns and a
quantity of ammunition, but none of
the boats had any provisions in them.
No trace of the crews could be found,
although the boats looked as though
they had but recently been deserted.
There was no mark on the boats to
show what schooner they belonged to,
although on the stock of one Of the guns
was the name of w. P. Saywerd. II is
thought that the lost boats belonged to
her.
The Saywerd halls from British
Columbia, and was last seen off the
coast of Japan with 698 skins on board.
1t was not known which way she was
going but it is probable that she drifted
north, following the seals to the rock.
cries, and lost her hunters in fog or in
storm.
The five boats with their crews came
together after missing the schooner, and
| for protection and assistance to each
other they were fastened together. They
drifted about in the open sea, hoping
that some sailor or cruiser would pick
them up before death came.

Naval Officers Wrongly Placed the Blame
for an Accident to the Montgomery's
Engine.
WASHINGTON, Aug. "a few weeks
ago while op an official sea trial, or final
acceptance test, the cruiser Montgomery
suffered an accident through the break
ing down of enc of her engines. A nut
became loose and the high pressure
cylinder was destroyed, cutting short
the trial and necessitating repairs
amounting to about $4,000. A naval
board was appointedsto examine and
report on the affair and concluded that
the contractors, the Columbian Iron
Works of Baltimore, were responsible
for the accident in not exactly follow
ing the specifications, which would have
made the nut secure.
Secretary Herbert has been looking
into the matter, however, and he has re-
versed the findings of the board, holding
that the accident occurred through care
lessness. Accordingly he has addressed
letters to Chief Engineer ]. A. B.
smith and Passed Assistant Engineer
Dewitt q. Redgrave, who were in charge
of the machinery, sharply reprimanding
them for contributary negligence. II
appears that the chief engineer had
been ill and had not had full opportu'
nifty to inspect the machinery, which
was looked after by his assistant,

Thursday evening, after business hours,
Mr.. Lowell told his clerk to turn out the
lights in the store and to securely bar
the front store door. The clerk went
into the store, but instead of following
the grocer's directions, he simply turned
out the lights, passed out through the
alley and left the front door open,

the barking of the dog, who was on the
outside of the store. Mr. Lowell believed
that burglars were in the store for sure,
otherwise he did not see how the dog
could get out in the street. Selling u

Collectors.
Mrs. William T. Colburn lives at No.
1908 West Front street, and has family
of children. Her husband is foreman
of the upholstery department at Lich-
enstein d Harris. Mrs. Colburn some
time ago purchased sewing machine
from the Domestic Co. for the sum of
$65. She had paid on the machine $53
up TO last March, when the Domestic
Go. left the city. A short time ago she
says Mr.. Mcdonald, who stated that
he was acting for the Wheeler &c Wilson
Co., made demand on her for the re-
naming money. She told him that she
did not know him in the transaction,
and that he had shown no authority to
collect the money for the Domestic Co.
She says Mcdonald replied that he
would put the matter into the hands of
ex-Constable Green and he would col
lect it.
That was the last Mrs. Colburn heard
of the matter until about p. m. Thurs
day, when Mrs. Colburn says Constable
William Windish came to the house and
demanded admission. HE said he had
search warrant" continued Mrs. Col
burn, "but did not see it, did not
know the man and | asked him if he
was Mr.. Green. He said he was not,
and then he called Mr.. Green up from
the street corner. When Green came up
| asked, Are you the notorious Con-
stable Green hear SO much about. He
smiled, said his name was Green but
that he wasn't as bad as people made
him out to be. Constable Windish
then talked of breaking the door down
if | didn't open it. About this time
William Mccullough of the Delaware
Live Stock Insurance Co., came along
| and heard what the constable said. Mr..
Mccullough said that if he came to his
house and broke in the door, he would
go out corpse. The constable told him
| that he would serve warrant on him

Windish that had no concealed prop

in my house and have nothing concealed
to need search warrant"
Mrs. Colburn has "a receipts to show
that she has paid money on the machine
at "a different times, and is willing t.
| pay the balance if the proper author
lied agent appears with the credentials
to collect it. On the back of each one
of the receipts is the following printed
in conspicuous type:

company's office before the day named
in the contract. Ii the payments are no
made when due at the office, the money
must be ready when the collector calls
All collectors will give receipts like this
"And have a written letter of authority
