LIMA, o., November 30,-A shock
ing crime was committed between 5
and 6 o'clock this evening in lonely
place on South Pierce street, near the
river bridge, where a similar crime was
committed about year ago. The VIC
tim of to-nights crime was Miss Mag
gle Haub, aged about nineteen years,
and her condition is now such that it
is feared she will not survive the shock
of the terrible affair.
Miss Haub is employed at the Bell
Telephone exchange, and was on her
way to work when the assault occurred.
Miss Haub boards at the residence OF
H. J. Johnston. at No. 579 South
Pierce street, about three squares from
the scene of the crime. and she left
the house a few minutes before o'clock
to go to the exchange on Market street,
about five squares away. The street Is
poorly lighted, there being no electric
lights and only a few scattered gas
lamps. She had passed the last gas
most. and was about half way to the
bridge when she noticed a man APP
preaching her from the opposite direc-
tion. There are no houses for two
squares south of the bridge, and the
street is about five or six feet higher
than the commons, which is covered
with
UNDERBRUSH AND WEEDS.
The night was very dark and threat
ened rain, and Miss Haub carried an
umbrella. The street is much fire.
quented, and Miss Haub did not pay
any particular attention to the pedes-
trian until he was directly in front of
her, when he suddenly dealt her ter
rible blow in the mouth, grabbed her,
and while he held her body with one
arm, he placed his Hand over her
mouth and picked her up. She fought
with the umbrella until it was broken.
She tried to cry CIT, but she was I'M
able to.
The man carried her a short distance
toward the bridge, then started down
the embankment into the growth OF
underbrush and weeds. He carried her
to a point about fifteen feet from the
pavement, cautioning her to cease her
struggles or he would kill her, but she
continued her fight for freedom, when
he threw her to the ground, jumped
upon her breast with his knees. and
tore her clothing from her body, and
with it made rorcs with which he tied
her hands and made a covering over
her mouth. The fend then repeatedly
outraged her. The girl finally became
unconscious, but soon revived. The
man was still there and
THREATENED HER.
She uttered several screams. and he
became frightened and ran away
Miss Haub dragged herself to the
nearest house, about five hundred feet
away, crawling on her hands and knees
nearly the entire distance. and gave
the alarm. Medical attention was sum
moned,, and she is now confined to her
bed and in a very critical condition.
On account of the darkness she is I'M
able to give much of description of
the brute, but believes he was a col
ored man. Marks on her clothing in
dictate that the man was either BACKED
or had been working at some occupa-
ton which soiled his hands with coal
dust or SCOT.
A dozen attempted assaults have been
made in the past six months, one last
week, and If the fiend is caught his
life would not be safe, owing to the
excitement

Perhaps you have seen this denied in
print, but a Washington friend says it
is true, all the same.
During Mrs. Hazen's recent visit to
New York where she came to buy her
trousseau, she wore a very charming
hat, which, if she were an. older wo-
man, might be called bonnet. The
hat consisted of piece of velvet ma
terial shaped over the top of the head
to fit the couture. 1t was not over a
hand breadth in width, but it was vide
enough on each side to nearly touch
the ears Its trimming was unique.
It was formed of two very large wind
mill bows of the old fashioned Alsatian
variety. One stood very smart at the
back of the hat. The other lowered
at the front. The bows were of black
velvet, very thick, and the knot OF the
velvet was jetted to match the Town.

VICE PRESIDENT ST. JOHN.
Says Morgan's Action Will Not Pre-

Portsmouth, Va. Dec. 20. (Special)
The New York Herald of Tuesday
the 18th, contains nm article, reproduced
.elow, which seems to reveal the fact
that the Southern Railway Is using
every agency to deter the Williams
syndicate in their plans for the coasoli-
dation of the Seaboard system, necAs-
sary to the Inauguration Of their For-
ida line. a reporter called on Vice
President ST. Johns attention TO the
Heraid's publication, who said:
This article indicates that the real
opposition to the Seaboard Consolidation
is not Thomas #. Ryan in his individ-
ual capacity, but that he Is acting as
agent for those in control Of the South
ern Railway. 1t does not surprise nor
in anyway diseoncert the Seaboard
Air Line syndicate that such violent
measures are resorted to, and tLe
friends Of the Seaboard Air Line may
feal assured that we have never doubted

Having met defeat ut the hands II
all-courts, legislators and people-it is
hardly strange they should attempt
more desperate measures. As our pres

of the stockholders Of the Seaboard and
Roanoke Company, held yesterday, was
most satisfactory, and although each
resolution met the usual protest, they
have, as rule, been adopted by votes
representing niney-nine per cent on
more Of the total stock issued by the
company holding the meeting. The re-
suits were gratifying and it is now only
Il question Of few weeks when all of

MORGAN BLOCKED
sEABOARD DEAL
Scheme Involving s1o5,OOO,OOO Capt.
tai Nipped, and Southern Hay
Get the Road.

Behind the suspension of the New York
Produce Exchange Trust Company, and,
in the opinion Of some, one of the lead
ang causes of the closing of this institu-
zion, there was a pending railroad deal of
huge proportions, which certain directors
of the trust company wished to put
through, but which antagonized some
Of the biggest financiers in. Wall street
This railroad deal was in its inception
based upon the acquisition of the con-
troll of the Seaboard Air Line and the
building up Of d rival to the Southern
Railway system, of which J. Pierpont
Morgan is the leading factor. Many per-
sons in the South and some in Wall
street have credited Mr.. Morgan with
wanting to get control of the Seaboard
Air Line for the Southern, in order to
make its monopoly more complete
These persons credit Thomas #. Ryan
with working in the interest Of Mr.. Nor
gan, and intimations were dropped yes
terday that the weakening of the Pro-
dlce Exchange Trust Company and the
thwartiIlg of John SHELTON Williams
plan for merging the Seaboard, Florida
Central and Peninsular and Georgia and
Alabama, viii result in a control Of the
Seaboard stock falling into Mr.. Morgan's
hands.
John Shelton Williams, of Richmond,
for the purpose of putting through his
big deal, which originally, it is said pro-
posed the formation of new company
with about 1925, 100000 capital, had in
terested numerous financial institutions
and individuals. Mr.. Williams became q
director in the Produce Exchange Trust
Company.
The annual meeting Of the Seaboard
and Roanoke Railroad, which was one
of the most important roads involved, had
been postponed from time to time pend
ing the completion of the arrangements.
The underwriting was believed to be
nearly complete. The magnitude Of the
task rendered it necessary, it is said, TO
make some changes in the details The
revised scheme provided for acquiring
merely as much of the Seaboard and
Roanoke stock as they were able to.
This change was made necessary, APP
parently, because of Thomas Il. Ryan's
suit TO compel the turning over to him of
large block of stock of this company.
Mr.. Ryan made a contract with certain
directors of the company to sell him a
large block of the stock and he says he
afterwards found ont that some Of these
same directors made a second arrange
nlent, as members of the so-called Hoff
man pool, not to sell ont except with the
consent Of three-fourths of the pooled
shares. The pool thereupon refused tc
deliver to Mr.. Ryan. and he sued t.
compel deliverance of the stock, obtain
ing an Injunction to prevent its sale t.
anybody else Soon afterward John Skel
ton Williams and some of his friends con-
ceived the idea of making big rival
system to the Southern, and he struck

An the talk yesterday was of the
paIie in New York and the effect it
would have on the through line Of The
consolidated Seahoard Air Line system.
The fact that the Produce Exchange
Trust Company was one of the syndi-
cate backing the new and enlarged
Seaboard system, caused some to be-
lieve that the plans of President John
SHELTON Williams might not materialize.
No such fear was entertained by he
directors of the road in Raleigh, who
said that while ii might cause SONS
delay, the success of the consolidation
would not be at all affected by it.
The opinion was freely expressed thar
back OF it all was j. Pierpont Morgan
and the Rothschilds, the owners Of the
Southern Railway. who see in the Sea-
board Air Line road running through

the telegraphic accounts state that as
soon as that trust company had been,
forced to close its doors, Morgan came
forward and generously offered to lend
money at six Per cent, refusing to take
more, being actuated by desire to prp-
vent a continuance of the panic. Ii the
truth is ever known, Morgan started the
panic to kill the Produce Exchange and
make all other trust companies afraid

dalton system. When he had succeeded
at least in part, he walked in with his
money and had himself advertised az
the saviour of the day. He is the
wrecker and the preserver, as it suits
his interests. If he succeeds, the South
will be at the mercy Of one railroad sys-
