Assault a Child.

The Police Think He Attempted to
Assault a Child.
Andrew, alias Buck NARROW, colored,
was arrested last night by Policeman
Walker. OF the Second Precinct, and
locked up on suspicion of being the man
who attempted to commit felonious as
sault upon Alice Perry, the eIeven-year-
old daughter of Herbert Y. Perry, of No.
2so2 M Street northeast. The attempted
assault occurred early in the morning of
September 5, but was not reported until
Saturday.
The section of the city in which Mr..
Perry resides is not very thickly settled,
and a short distance from his house is a
small tract known as Mulligans Woods,
which is a favorite playground for the
children in that vicinity. The little girl,
who is a very attractive child, left the
house earlier than usual Thursday morn
ing and went into the woods to play.
She had been there only a few minutes
when colored man, about Ave feet four
or five inches tall, very black. with a
smooth face and dark clothes, appeared
and began to talk to her. The child be-
came frightened and was about to return
to the house when the man caught her
up in his arms and started toward a
denser part of the woods with her.
She screamed and her cries attracted
the attention of her mother. Mr.. Perry
and a neighbor also heard her call for
help and gave chase. The man, seeing
that he would be overtaken, dropped the
child and ran through the woods, sue
ceeding in making his escape, but not be-
fore all had obtained a good look at him.
Mr.. Perry reported it TO Policemen
Phil Brown and knupfer, mounted off,
GERS of the Ninth Precinct who started
an investigation. From the description
they suspected NARROW. and a general
search was begun for him. 1t was re-
warded last night by his capture in the
Second Precinct.
NARROW denied all knowledge of the af
fair, and declared that he was elsewhere
at the time. He was turned over to the
Ninth Precinct late last night. and will
be held there until the little girl and her
parents can be given an opportunity to
see him.

conference report upon the war revc-
nue. bill was presented to the House.

sational features, it was adopted. 154
to 107.
The election measure will be disposed
of, tomorrow, Immediately after the
meeting of the House.
Tonight, Mr.. Pierce Dem. Tenn,
made a vigorous attack upon the pros
ecution of the war and the alleged un-
warranted delay in sending relief to the
Cuhans.
A sensational feature was the clash
between Mr.. Grosvenor. Ohio, Rep
and Mr. Swanson, Dem. Va, growing
out of the formers attack upon the lat
ter's speech in criticism of the revenue
bill.
The Hawaiian annexationists made
a strong fight To get the election bill
out of the way to prevent its COINS
over until tomorrow as privileged mat
ter and likely to postpone another day
their intended effort to force considera
ton of the annexation resolutions in
the House.
