ATTACKED ON THE STREET
The Female Operator of the Western
Union the Victim of Blow.


Union the Victim of Blow.
Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 2.-The whites
and blacks of the capital city are consid-
erably wrought up on account of a muir
derOus attack on lady here Tuesday
night. The lady operator in the Western
Union telegraph office closes up her office
at O'Clock p. m. She started for her
boarding house at that hour Tuesday night
and had not gone three blocks from
her Office and not two blocks from the
main business street of the city, when
some one stepped out from behind a large
oak tree on the edge of the sidewalk and
dealt her a terrible blow on the left side
OF her face. For a moment she was
daZed, and for another moment she was
face to face with her cowardly assailant,
who made no further attempt to modest
her, and ran rapidly toward the business
center of the city
The lady was taken to her home and
Dr. BetUOn called in, who dressed her
wounds and sewed up cash in her fore
head While her wounds are very pain
full they are not regarded as serious. The
lady says her assailant was a white boy
She saw him as he stood before her after
the assault, and watched him as he passed
by a street lamp in his flight.
AS soon as the news was received up
town a posse of indignant gentlemen
started out in search of the dastardly
scoundrel, and it is well for him that they
did not find him. Going in the direction
where the outrage was committed and not
knowing whether the guilty party was
white or black, negro barber, @. H
Cabule, with handkerchief around his
neck and carrying coat on his arm, was
arrested and locked up on suspicion He
was, however, discharged without trial
on Wednesday.
AS no crime of this character has been
committed in this community, the entire
population-white and colored-is very
justly indignant. DR.. w j. Gurnee,
backed by other colored men, offer $50
for the conviction of a negro of the crime,
and $25 for the conviction of a white man,
as the assailant of the lady.
The lady came here last year, and by
strict attention to business, courteous
treatment Of ALL and dignified and
womanly bearing has made friends of all
who know her.
United States Marshal E. c. Weeks,
will make Tallahassee his headquarters
for the present II.

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT
Representative StOrer's PrOposed
Amendment and HIS Reasons There

Representative Storer's PROPOSED
Amendment and HIS Reasons There
for.
Representative Storer of Ohio TODAY in
trcduced a bill to amend the interstate
commerce law. 1t repeals all punishments
by Imprisonment for violations of the in
terstate commerce act and renders the
corporation itself punishable 1t also re-
peals so much of the present law as pun-
ishes any shipper or the agent of any ship
per for violations of the law Concerning
the bill Mr.. Storer says: AT present they
are liable to the same penalties that a car
rier is. The present law is ineffective for
two reasons. First, that the penalty of
Imprisonment falls naturally upon the lower
employees and servants of a great CORPORA
ton, and not merely infiicts the penalty of
loss OF liberty for an action which public
opinion hardly yet considers a crime. but
renders 1t exceedingly difficult to obtain
ton.
THE Supreme Court of the United States
In the well-known Counselman case in 1892
decided that as the law then stood no man
connected even remotely with the transac-
ton which was in violation of The inter-
state commerce law could be compelled to
testify, as he might directly or Indirectly
crimfnate himself
"As the law now stands under tbe
amendments passed by the Fifty-second
Congress to remedy the defects pointed
out by the Counselman decision, the courts
have again held that the spirit, If not the
letter, OF the Constitution has been violated
and that so long as an act is In violation
OF statute no man who was a party to IL
can be compelled to be a witness, even
though the law seeks to protect him from
future prosecutions on that account. The
repeal OF the provisions requiring impris-
onment for violations of the law has been
recommended by the interstate commerce
commission at divers times and has met
with the approval Of nearly every thinking
man who has given the subject serious
consideration. By repeating the clauses
making the violations of this law a penal
o1ense on the part Of the customer or the
shipper the consignor or the consignee,
or their agents. il is hoped that the OBJ
Jections heretofore found by the courts to
compelling the testimony of witnesses will
be fully and effectually met"
