assaulted and robbed by an unknown

patch of woods between Huntsville and
Westport, not more than hundred
yards from her home. 1t is also thought
that more serious crime was attempt
ed. The young woman, with her
clothes half torn from her and frantic
with fright, managed to reach her home
after the assault had taken place, and
as she staggered in the door fell in a
swoon at the feet of her aged mother,
Mrs. Kate Brown, and through the rest
of the day remained in comatose
state, which prevented her giving any
accurate description of her assailant.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-THE southern
express train from the West, on the
Northern Central railroad, collided
with derailed yard engine just out
side of the city this morning. The en-
gineer and fireman of the express and
several of the three passengers in the
nine sleeping cars and coaches mostly
bound for southern cities, were injured
or badly shaken up. None of then 4,
however, are in serious condition. The
engines were demolished and the
wreck caused suspension Of all train
traffic for hours. Many suburban
trains conveying hundreds of passen-
gers to the city were delayed. The
accident was caused by the yard en-,
CINE jumping the track just in front o.
the express train. There was wild
panic among the passengers.

The Maine Election.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE repub-
licans regard the result of the State
election as the biggest victory they have
achieved since the birth of the republi-
can party. The total vote for Cover
nor, which, two years ago, was 10000
is reduced from $1,000 to 10000. Re-
publicans claim that Cleave's vote will
reach nearly 10000. In every one OF
the sixteen counties of the State the
democracy has been defeated. Every
city in the State has probably gone re.
publican, which is something phenome-
nal. The State Senate is solidly re-
publican, and the democrats and popu.
lists will have but few members in the
House.

PITrsBuRG, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE
Grand Army ofthe Republic, now in
session here, marched through this city
and Allegheny this morning, it being
the 18th annual parade. General John
B. Gordon, formerly of the confederate
army, subsequently delivered an adj
dress, in which he advocated the OBJ
liberation sectionalism and united
America. His words were followed by
tremendous outbursts of applause, and
the reciprocal feeling was further mani
tested by hand shaking from the e1-
union soldiers. General Gordon, turn
ing to the union flags which protusely
covered the speakers stand, delivered
a very eloquent apostrophe, pledging
his devotion and that of the ex-con-
fsderates of the South to that banner
and all that it symbolizes. He address
ed the soldiers as comrades and coun-
trymen, and every time the General
used these terms, the audience was

Fought for Life in Mid-Air.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 11.-Rigid
and helpless, his feet tangled in the
meshes of wires and his head hanging
downward, Frederick French, lamp
trimmer, was held prisoner at noon
yesterday. $50 feet in air, at the top OF
an electric light tower. He had gone
up there to fix the lamps, when he
grasped a live wire and became uncon-
scious. A crowd of 5000 people saw him
and expected every minute that his feet
would slip and he would fall headlong.
There in the air he hung until his part
ner, George Wideman, joined the crowd
and saw him. Up the slim supports of
the tower went Wideman hand over
hand to the injured man. Reaching
there he grabbed him and attempted to
lay him on the platform, but French
was like mailman. He was frothing
at the mouth, and the two men
began a struggle which looked as
if it must end by one or both
of them falling to the ground.
French tried to bite Widemau, and once near
" threw him over, but the latter finally got
a piece of rope over French's neck and chok-
ed him into insensibility. Then he put him
in the basket by which French had made the
ascent and lowered him to within a few feet
of the ground. There others helped him, and
French was taken to the hospital. He was
crazy from the shock, but is likely to recover
Wideman's fight with the crazy man at the
top of the tower he will never forget.

WHILE THE republican vote in Maine
at the election in that State yesterday
was no larger than that of 1892, or, if
SO, only to the extent of the voters who
have since become of age, that of the
democrats seems to have been almost
entirely dissipated, those who usually
cast it having, apparently with general
accord, awaited themselves of the OPP
portunity afforded by the warm
weather then prevailing to go fishing.
But it has been the same way wherever
elections have been held since the pol
Icy of administration was developed.
The few wise democrats have not been
deceived, but the many unwise ones
have been, and the average man re-
sents deception, and, the more foolish
he is, the more plainly he manifests his
resentment.

The consequence is that the latter
magnate referred to now says: "Gen-

achieved by strikes. They widen the

no matter which side is worsted, it is
sore over its defeat and will retaliate
