ANOTHER ASSAULT
On Urbana, Ohio, Lady Creates Talk of
Lynching.

On Urbana, Ohio, Lady Creates Talk Of
Lynching.
Urbana, O., November 21.-This city
was thrown into feveriSh excitement
tonight by the report of another at
tempted assault. The victim is Miss
Emma Groves, an elderly lady who
lives with her sister on West Ward
street. About six o'clock this evening
Miss Groves stepped out of the back
door of her home and was instantly
seized by man, who threw his arm
around her neck and held her firmly.
Miss Groves was painfully injured.
The attempted assault was committed
at about the same hour as that perpe-
trated ON Miss Carey, on Friday even
ing, and, it is believed, by the same
party. Groups of excited men are
standing about on the streets dis
cussing the affair, and If the culprit is
captured he will be lynched in short
order.

PRINCETON BACK.

Princeton, N. j., November 21.-The
Princeton foot ball team returned to
this town tonight, accompanied by
the coaches and the trainer. All of
them are in good condition physically
and appear none the worse for bruises
and jolts received in the contest with
Yale. The defeat was a great disap-
pointment to the younger graduates,
but there has been nothing but praise
for the players over their plucky work
and the good natured manner in which
they took their loss of the day and the
cause.

FRANCHISE IN THE SOUTH.

Nashville American.
The acknowledgment of the masses
of untutored blacks in the South was
one of the greatest political crimes
ever perpetrated on civilized commun-
tiles. It's effect would have been sti-
fling in those communities where the
negroes have large majorities If It had
been tamely submitted to on the part
of the whites. The means used to pre-
vent this i'll effect has been in itself
necessarily deleterious and demoraliz-
ing. and the time has come when a
remedy must be found.

NOT so EASY AS OF YoRE.

Springfield, Mass, Republican.
The stories of the great gallantry OF
the British troops in the frontier war
in India are thrilling indeed, but they
tend to impress one also with the
amount of fight the niountaineer ma
tives possess. The forward policy"
in India is proving very expensive in
money and men. Moreover, the hos
tile tribes seem to have learned how TO
wage war to better advantage than In
bygone days.

VARIOUS TOPICS DISCUSSED.
SENATOR CHANDLER.

Chicago Chronicle.
About the only Republican Of any
prominence who still af1irms the party
declaration upon bimetallsm is Sena-
tor Chandler, of New Hampshire, who
continues to protest against the sur
render of the party to the single gold
standard Probably Mr.. Chandler
does not voice the sentiments of his
constituents in the matter, but he at
least deserves credit for his refusal
to be party to the political conf
dence game. His honesty, indeed, is a
characteristic which atones for his
many eccentricities. 1t was Mr..
Chandler who pointed oVt in the sum-
mer Of 1896 that Hanna was disgrace
ing the Republican party by extorting
campaign contributions from protect
ed manufacturers in the interest of
Major Mckinleys candidacy. That
declaration has made the New Hamp-
shire Senator persona non grata at the
White House, and his attitude upon
the currency question is not likely to
increase his popularity in that local
ity. But he was right in both cases.

Among the superior attractions to-
appear at the Opera House, that of next
Saturday matinee and night, Morri-
sons Faust" holds foremost place,
and in the hands of Morrison's play
ers Goethes masterpiece acquires fresh
lustre. The dramatization of this pro-
duction is triumph of the stage, the
Interpretation Of the lines of Mephisto
is a revelation-a vivid realistic con-
ception Of the Mephisto which the
great German author designed. Plays
of the spectacular order are fast find
looked upon as the originators of
everything admirable in this line.
Morrisons production of Faust" is a
triumph of mechanical effects. The
results produced by the many colored
lights are enhancing, especially in the
revel of the demons ON Walpurgis
night on the summit of the Broken.

victory. With the first word she ut
tiers she persuadeS us of the possibility
of stage Tess. At her last word she
leaves us in the same mind. Her char
acterization is an idealized one to a
degree. She has got away from some
of the naked nature of Hardys hero

that political eXigeRcies would soon

COLUMBUS, Nov. AT 10 p NJ. the
Democratic State Commit claimed the
election OF their State ticket by from
5000 to 10000 plurality and a majority of
the Legislature on joint ballot for United
States Senator. No figures were given on
the thirty-six State Senators and 1O9
representatives., but it was claimed that
the Republican loss of fourteen members
of the Legislature in Hamilton County
would insure Democratic control of the
Legislature. The Democrats also claimed
the 102 mem bers of The Legislature from
Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleve-
land, the home OF Senator Hanna. The
Republican State Committee concede The
loss of Hamilton County, but claimed
that there were not sufficient returns from
Cleveland on which 10 base any estimate.

twelve members in Cuyahoga County, the

men kept them safe
