A FEMALE ZACCHEUS
Who Climed a Tree i'm the Rear of the
Clapp Mansion.

Whether She Climed the Lord to See is a
Questionable Made it Hot For the Off,
GERS Before They Secured Her.
Yesterday afternoon, about 8 o'clock, a
young woman. the daughter of the cook
at Mr.. John F. Woodbury's. 302 Cumberland
street, and who is subject to epileptic fits,
was seized with queer freak. She ran out
of the kitchen of the house and climbed the
stone wall that separates Mr.. Woodbury. IS
premises from those of Miss Mary j. E.
Clapp's that front on Congress street.
Knowing the young woman's misfortune,
and fearing she might injure herself, one of
the ladies in Mr.. Woodbury's house notified
the police office, and Deputy Hartnett,
with officers Quinn and McGrath started
after the girl, the patrol wagon following
them.
In the meantime the woman ran through
Miss Clapp's grounds followed by a great
crowd of men, women and children. and
climbed large tree in the rear of the
Clapp mansion, with the agility of a cat.
When she had attained the height of about
thirty feet, she turned at bay on her pur-
suers. They made no contest for no one
wished to tackle her. She glared down at
the crowd peering up at her until the
officers arrived.
When the police appeared on the ground
they saw at once that a ladder would be
needed and one was procured. Then Mr..
Jordan, the hackman, and Officers McGrath
and Quinn mounted it and went for the
woman. 1t was lively tussle. A sharu
kick hit Jordan under the eye with con-
siderable force. Officer Quinn is quite an
athlete, but he found that insanity gave
tremendous strength to the young woman.
She uttered not word, but spit like cat,
and clawed and struck with her fists as
with pair of sledge hammers. She
launched vicious kick at McGrath that
was aimed at his abdomen. sbut. fortunate
ly for him, struck him in the thigh. A
second later he had her feet in firmTgrasp,
while Quinn-who was afraid of surting heI
managed to get an arm around her neck
and shut off her wind. Then they had her,
and brought her down the ladder to the
patrol wagon, in which she was conveyed to
the station. She is about twenty-five years
old and quite stoutly built. 1t was about as
lively scrapsas the two officers have seen
for sometime.
The girls name is Jennie Ward. After
she was taken to the station. she was trans
ferred o Greeley hospital and fought, bit
and kicked all the way thither.

Marine Railway and Dry Dock Rates


To the Editor of the Press:
The proprietors of the marine railway
and dry dock have been active in caus-
ing reduction of wages in order to re-
tain business at this port. This is com.
mendable, and shipwrights and caulkers
have reduced their wages. Ship chand-
lers and oilers are selling goods at small
er profits to help our merchant marine
through this season of depression.
Now, in the interests of fair play" why
should not the proprietors of the marine
railway and dry dock reduce their rates
fer taking out vessels from 10 cents pei
ton [the old rate), to cents per ton, The
rate charge in New York at the pres.
ent time.
Let the reduction be general, and not
on the part of few. Inns. .
