AN ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
Young Woman Attacked at Falls Church
This Morning.
The Assailant q COlored Man, Who
Was Promptly Arrested-Much
Excitement.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
FALLS CHURCH, Va, April Fails
Church was startled this morning by an
attempted criminal assault by a negro upon
highly respected white lady. Miss Ella
sprankle, who recently lost her mother, and
Is living with her brother about half mile
from town on the Lewinsville road, was the
victim; and Joe Upshur, who has been EN-
ployed on the farm for the past three years,
and is a large, heavily-built young negro,
about twenty-one years of age, was her as
sailant.
This morning about 5 o'clock, while her
brother was at the barn, some distance
from the house, attending to farm matters,
Miss Ella, as was her custom, was at prayer
In the sitting room. having just arisen and
come from her room, when the negro Up
shur. who had been in the kitchen Chey
being the only ones in the house at the
time) came in unobserved by her and be-
fore she was aware of his presence had
grabbed her, and, amid her screams to her
brother for help undertook to carry her ID
an adjoining room. She fought frantically
to release herself from his grasp, but could
only succeed in preventing him from ac-
comprising his purpose. He, becoming
frightened for fear Of her brother hearing
her outcries. agreed to release her IL she
would promise not to say anything about it.
Only too glad to be released, she gave
the required promise, and the negro went
out OF the house and went about his du-
ties on the farm. AS soon as she could
communicate with her brother she gave
him the full particulars. Greatly incensed
at the conduct of Upshur, his first impulse
was to get his gun and shoot him. His
sister, however. plead with him to let the
law take its course and at once have him
arrested. This he finally consented to do.
and. without acquaintng Upshur with his
intention or letting him know he had
knowledge Of the affair. he quickly went
after Constable A. r. Jacobs, who at once
responded, and took Upshur into custody.
Upshur was dumfounded at his arrest SO
| quickly made, he imagined his deed
would not be made known He was greatly
excited, and wept and plead with the Off
Ger. Constable Jacobs locked him up, and
Justice j. S. Riley was summoned, and a
preliminary examination had, when the
facts as above stated were substantiated
by the testimony of the young lady and
her brother. The accused was sent on to
court and committed to Jail at Fairfax
Court House, and was at once taken there
by Constable Jacobs. Miss Sprankle, at the
| examination. showed evidence of the rough
treatment she had received at the hands
of the negro, and prints Of the fellows
| fingers were plainly visible upon her throat
and she was otherwise injured. Much ex-
citement prevails, but there are no threats
of lynching heard.

GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.
Prof. Marcus Baker Delivers tn,
Sixth Regular Lecture.

Sixth Regular Lecture.
It was arranged that DR.. VIM H. Dali of
the Smithsonian Institution should deliver
the sixth lecture at Metzerott Hall yester-
day afternoon In the series given under the
auspices of the National Geographic So
ciety, descriptive of a trip to Alaska, but
he was too i'll to appear, and Prof. Marcus
Baker of the geological survey kindly took
his place. The subject Of the lecture was
From Sitka to the Sunset" and, as Prof
Baker explained to the large audience, he
general way the trip from the extreme
the last of the Aleutian Islands, and, in
cidentally, the illustrations descriptive of
the scenery en- route. This he did in very
entertaining and instructive manner
Speaking of Sitka, he remarked that it is
about as old as Washington, with a mean
temperature like that of Boston. 1t was
settled by the Russians, and named after
the Archangel Gabriel, in order to secure
his protection. But the desired protection
falling to be secured it was later. named
after the Archangel Michael, and still later
it became known as Sitka. At one time
most Of the Aleutian Islands were inhabit-
ed, said Prof. Baker, but now very few of
them are inhabited. The glaciers of Alaska
were graphically described also its volca-
noes, as well as the general character of
the country, which, he explained, was for
the most part extremely forbidding and
cherries.
The final lecture in the course will be de-
hvered next Monday afternoon by Prof. !
c. Russell of the University of Michigan
whose subject will be "a Journey in the
Interior of Alaska"

SHOES sheY'r. proper"
There is not a shoe in this
elegant springnstock that was
not made to- our special or
der-not a shoe is here the
like of which, you will find
elsewhere. bAil sizes and
widths, tooLand widths
mean something here. The
shoe stores most all claim to
carry seven widths, from
AAA to EE, but measure
'em-perhaps three widths;
the rest is in the marking
only.
Making shoes properly
costs money-producing diff
ferent patterns for each size
so carefully as to keep the
perfect contours of the styles
and widen the shoe by de-
grees as little as a sixteenth
of an inch.
There are but few manu-
facturers who keep up to
this standard of perfection,
and we control their output
for this city.
That's why this spring
stock is so exclusive-that's
why our footwear is so fine.
Every shoe novelty" that
you ever saw or heard of is
here-that is, if it is stylish in
the fashionable centers.
At $2.48, an elegant black
oxford, with or without a
patent tip. A tan one at same
price, with sharp needle toe.
At $2.o8, oxfords of all the
newest shades of leather and
all patent leather. Also pat
ent leather, with kid top. All
shapes and sizes.
At $3.48, a fine line of la
