Walsh Made an Uaprovoked Assault on q
Woman Capitol Hill Notes.

There was more excitement on Stam-
pers street last night than there mas
been in that locality for many months.
and some of the denizens OF the street
were more excited than IL foreign
army had suddenly encamped on Con-
stitution hill. 1t was the torridest kind
of night I'm many ways. There are
some places on Stampers street that
don't reflect much credit on the civii-
zation or morals of a community, anu
the occupants OF those places had tneir
war paint on last night, owing 10 the
actions of a man who does not i've on
the street or much OF anywhere else.
Thomas Walsh was the indNiuuai
who set the kettle of excitement Doll
ing. He had been on visit TO one OF
the tenements where the laws or tne
community are little respected, ana III

tried to grab him. Her little daughter
screamed and tried to hold back Walsn,
who began to make up his mind that IL
would be better for him TO get out Oh
the way as quickly as possible.
large number OF residents OF the street,
mostly colored, began screaming anu
started in hot pursuit after the padly
scared Walsh. The pursuit was Kept
ND through North Main street Olney
street, Bacon court and Lippitt street
10 a lot near Camp street. There the
wind of the pursuers gave out. The nt-
tie daughter of Mrs. Francis was true
