ATTEMPT AT RAPE.
FIENDISH ASSAULT ON YOUNG GIRL
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

One of the most fiendish and brutal
attempts at rape was committed Sunday
afternoon on the quarry road few miles
from this city by, so it is alleged, Will
liam Parrant, aged 20. on Cora Terrier,
a young girl of 13.
The story told by the little girl to the
officer was that at o'clock yesterday
afternoon as she was walking along a
lonely portion of the road parrant sud-
denly appeared from one side OF the
road. lie brutality took her by the
throat. She begged of him to let her go
but it was of no avail. She tried with
all her strength to break away fsom her
assailant at the same time calling at the
top of her voice for help.
When Parrant saw that he could not
accomplish his purpose, the story told
by the girl is that he pulled large
Jack knife from his pocket, opened it
and taking her by the throat she says he
threatened to kill her.
Meanwhile her cries attracted per
son by the name OF Veron. AS soon as
Parrant saw him approaching he made
a sudden departure for the woods.
Complaint was Immediately made to
grand juror Adams, of East Barre, who
was obliged to come to this city TO OBJ
tam warrant for his arrest, On his
way to this city Mr.. Adams saw Parrant
sitting on the fence a short distance
from where the assault occurred but
made no attempt to arrest him as tho
warrant had not been made out. JUS
tice Scott issued warrant and officer
French and Slayton were detailed to
find the young assailant. They started
out with the little girl but were unsuc
ccssful in locating him, after visiting &
number of houses in the vicinity OF
Webstervlle. AS yet he has not beer
arrested.
Parrant is Frcnchman and boards
at the house of Samuel Stacy in Web
sterville and is employed on one Of
the quarries. He is described as being
5 feet 7 inches i'll height, 80 years old
weighing 1875 pounds, smooth face
and brown suit, so cent white hat.
Officers are on the look out for him and
if caught it is safe to say the court
will not be lenient with him.
The young girl is a bright little Cir
of 13 and lives with her mother on the
quarry road. She has entirely rccov-
cred from the fright.

On the Corner.

The meeting Sunday afternoon was
held in the city park, and as the mem
bers of the gang thought they had me
captured they did not fear that their
acts would be given to the public. But
| would inform the club that they must
have captured the wrong man, whoever
it was. for am yet very much alive.
Well, us the club were all anxious to
attend the Memorial Sunday service
very little business was transacted
except to suggest few more topics to
be be discussed at the next meeting,
one being the building of some side
walks on the southern portion of Sum-
mer street.
The club never hit on any better or
more timely topic and the Inspector
can truly state for the benefit of the city
council that no section of the city is my
worse off in the matter of good side
walks than that part of the city. The
Inspector hopes the council will pay
some attention to this matter, for mud
is bad for the feet, and the tax PAYERS
there are entitled to have as good side
walks as other portions of the city.
Another matter which was brought
up for consideration was the moving of
the band stand and where ii is to be To-
Gated. One of the club suggested that
it would make a good 'mcss house, for
the crew which are TO have charge of
the Durkce gun boat. Others thought
it should be taken to the "city dump"
and set on fire, while others urged that
it be placed on Currier park where our
Transatlantic band could be permitted
to give open air concerts. But the To-
cation is still unsettled in the minds of
of the club.
But the sound of the bugle ended the
meeting, and they followed by the
"mean man. to the service, where they
looked wise and patriotic as they
thought OF the supposed captured
INSPECTOR.

ana adventurous traveller DR.. Sven He'd
in Although his name is as vet little
known to English speaking people he is
well known in his own country and is
Eeckoned in the class with Nansen, An
dree and Sverdrup. Central Asia is the
particular field in which he has distin-
guished himself, and in his wanderings
through that mysterious section of the
globe he has visited places where white
men have never been before
He is only 80 years old, but he has
achieved much. He started on his first
trip when no was 20, his funds being
limited to S160, which he had saved up
while acting as tutor. This took him
far into Persia, and when his funds ran
out he applied to Aga Muhammed Has
san, one of the richest men In that part
of the world. 1t was a bold stroke, but
when Hassan found that the young
stranger was a fellow countryman of
Charles II, whose exploits are known
throughout Islam, he gave him an es-
oort and bag of silver.
On his return to Sweden Dr. HeCin
interested King Oscar and several
wealthy men in his scheme to explore
central Asia, and the king attached
him to a complimentary mission to the
shah Of Persia. On his second visit DR..
Hedin scaled famous mountain, much
to the establishment of the Persian no
bles When he returned for the third
time to Persia, it was at the head of a
well equipped expedition, and he spent
nearly four years in wandering about
the Cobb desert and the plateaus of
Tibet. He rummaged among the ancient
ruins of dead, forgotten cities of the
desert, made maps of the country and
discovered many things OF scientific and
historical interest.

Paris exposition of 1900. The painting
will represent the coronation of the ozar.
It will be about 33 feet long and nearly
20 feet in height and will contain over
200 figures, of which fully three-quar
tiers will be actual portraits of the noted
personages who participated in the cor
onation ceremony. AS most of those
present were mem bers of the various
royal families of Europe and as NJ. Ger
vex is anxious to make his picture his
torically correct it can be seen that this
will involve an immense amount of de-
tail, for the artist will want to please
each lord and lady.
NJ Gervex had decided to paint the
scene before the coronation, and with
that end in view went to Moscow and
witnessed the event from the press in
closure. He has selected for his portray
al the supreme moment of the occasion
when the young car was in the very
act of placing the splendid crown on his
own head, the most solemn and dra-
matte moment Of the whole series of
brilliant events.
Although this painting will be a
legitimate work of art, " says NJ. Ger
vex, "a painting on canvas such as one
might send to the Salon, intend to
borrow for purposes of exhibition GER
tain devices more properly belonging to
the domain of the diorama. In order to
leighton the realism 1 shall paint two
Tanels, extending the scene on either

ceal the extremities on all sides, while

will seem to be in the very coronation
