The Rope Was Not Around His Neck and
He Stnl Lives.
PETERSBURG, w. Va, March 4-James
Sherman was arraigned Monday before
justice Of the peace on charge of GRIM
inally assaulting Lulu Wetherell The
little girl identified him positively and
swore that he was the man who bind
folded her, kidnapped her, and afterwards
assaulted her. She was the only witness
for the state, and no evidence was offered
by the defense. Sherman was bound over
in the sum of 5000, in default of which
he was sent TO jail. The public was eS-
cluded from the room where the prelimi-
nary examination took place, but there
was much excitement in the crowd as
sembled outside the courtroom. At tho
request of officers the justice ordered %
picture taken Of Sherman before his re-
turn to the Jail The prisoner protested,
pulled his hat over his face, and did every
thing possible to prevent the camera get
ting at him long enough for n negative.
When the constable and police seized
Sherman the latter turned into demon,
and soon overcame the officers. The
court then ordered Sherman strung up.
A rope and pully were adjusted to the
ceiling. Sherman was bound as IL TO bo
hung, but the moose was adjusted around
his trunk instead of his neck. Before be-
ing bound he grabbed a bottle of red ink
and smeared his face all over SO that he
could not be recognized. After several
efforts the photographing was given up.
There were cries of Hang him" heard
from the crowd on the outside, who did
not know what was going on in the
room. The action of the court caused
much comment after the affair was over
AS feeling is very intense here against
the prisoner it is feared that the hanging
business may be carried out some day with
more fatal results before the prisoner is
allowed trial

Three Steamships Come to Grief in q Fog
Thick Enough to Cut.
NEW YORK, March 2-Saturday was a
day OF disasters about New York harbor.
For nearly forty-eight hours dense fog
had hung over the greater New York dis
trict and made navigation almost impos-
sible. Three steamships have come to
grief owing to the mists that have spread
over the waters hereabouts, but fortunate.
ly none of the accidents have been attend
ed by loss OF lifo. The steamship Ailsa
bound for the West Indies, was sunk by
collision in The Narrows with the Atlantic
liner Bourgogne. A few minutes after
being struck the Ailsa went to the bot
tom and her passengers had an almost
miraculous escape
The American line steamship New York
is aground in the lower bay, and though
her passengers were landed the vessel
may remain on the shoal where she now
is imprisoned for several days.
The Old Dominion line steamship
Guyandotte, while passing in through the
narrows struck the steamship George w.
Clyde. The collision tore hole Of such
dimensions in the Clyde that she had to
be beached to prevent sinking.
LATER The New York came Off at $3.50
Yesterday morning and steamed at once to
her dock in this city. Fortunately the
weather proved most favorable and aided
materially in floating the ship.
