DARING ASSAULTS.
Attempt to Murder a Connect
icut Man In New Jersey.
ANOTHER VICTIM OF THUGS FOUND.
The First Man Was Robbed and Thrown
Into a Creek, and the Second Was
Discovered Unconscious with
Bleeding Wounds.

ELIZABETH, n. J., oct. ia most
by two highwaymen in this place yes
terday. The victim of the attack was
Michael Sullivan of Norwich Conn? His
assailants are unknown. and there
seems to be no hope of their capture.
Sullivan was walking along South
Front street, near the bridge over
Morses creek, when he was stopped by
two men, who demanded his money. He
refused to give up what little he had
and attempted to run away The men
/ seized him, and fight followed Sulli-
van made a heroic endeavor to defend
himself but was overpowered and rob-
bed.
Saying that dead Irishmen were the
best kind of Irishmen, the footpads told
Sullivan that they intended to drown
him, go that he could not inform the
authorities. They felled Sullivan again,
after sharp struggle, and, beating him
until he was nearly unconscious. delib-
arately dragged him to the side of the
bridge and hurled him headforemost in
to the water.
The cold water revived him almost
instantly, and he shrieked for help as
he blindly struck out for the shore. His
call was heard by Henry Mooney, who
reached the bank just in time to see
Sullivan sinking, completely exhausted.
Mooney stripped off his coat and
plunged to the rescue. He succeeded in
reaching Sullivan and had grasped him
by the shoulder when he was seized by
a chill. After several vain attempts to
reach the shore Mooney began calling
for help.
The cries brought the force of the
copper works to the spot. and several
men rescued Mooney and Sullivan. The
latter was completely exhausted. and
Mooney was unconscious. The two men
were carried to the copper works, where
etimulants were applied.
Mooney recovered in a short time and
went home, but Sullivan could not
raise his head and was taken to the
hospital, where he remained in a stupor
until the afternoon, when he recovered
sufficiently to tell his story.
Just few hours before this John
Doyle of the Brown bottling establish
ment was found unconscious and
bleeding at Bayway and South Front
streets. At first it was thought he was
dead. His head was terribly cut, and
he had lost considerable blood.
Doyle was at the hospital all day in
a semiconscious condition, and he
seems to be at a loss to know how ne
was injured. He knows some men
stopped him, but can remember no
more.
Detectives Decker and McGrail. who
are working on the case, are inclined to
believe Doyle knows his assailants and
is trying to shield them. Doyle is en-
ployed by the Wayclark wire works,
and it is believed a fellow workman
was involved in the fracas.
Much excitement has been caused in
Elizabeth by the murderous assaults.
and nearly every one is afraid to VEN
ture in unfrequented spots unarmed.

AUBURN, N. Y, Oct. 19.-The north
ern part of Cayuga county is ablaze
with forest fires, which have been rag
ing for the past two days, and nearly
all the timber in the vicinity of Red
Creek, Lowvile, Sterling and North

are fighting the flames night and day,

vicinity since last July the parched
condition of the ground and the muck
in the swamps make their efforts all
most futile.
