ASSAULT NEAR TREvANION.
A Lady Successfully Defends Herself With
A Flatir0n.

On Wednesday of last week, while at work
in her kitchen, strange negro called at the
residence of Mr.. John n. eastman, near
Trevanion, in Taneytown district, and asked
for something to eat. Mrs eastman told
him to sit down on the porch and she would
supply him. After giving him some food he
requested to be furnished with coffee. This
was also given him, and the lady went back
to her ironing. Suddenly she was seized
FROM behind and her arms piniOned to her
sides, above the elbows, just as she was about
taking an iron from the stove. The negro
said don't cry out, or | will kill you"
Il reckon you will not, " she replied, and
attempted to thrust the hot smoothing iron
over her shoulder into his face. She thinks
she succeeded in touching his cheek, but is
not certain. While still struggling, the man
succeeded in turning her face toward him,
when she thrust the iron downward and
against his naked fiesh until it sizzled with
the contact, and the odor of burning flesh
was plainly perceptible. The negro howled
with pain, and releasing Mrs. eastman, fled
from the house to the pump, where he bathed
his wounds with cold water and then hastily
left the premises. When Mrs. eastman real
lied that she was safe, reaction set IN, and
she dropped upon q chair in a haltconsclous
condition, and so remained for an hour.
Some time elapsed after that before she was
able to give an alarm.
Mr.. eastman reached home in the after.
noon, and, them taking his shotgun and
mounting his horse. he secured the country
for miles around, in a VAIN search for the as
saiaut.
Since the occurrence Mrs. eastman has
been III. The ordeal through which she
passed, though lasting but few minutes,
completely wrecked her nerves, and she has
been repeatedly in commissions. She Is about
% years old.
Up to the hour of going to press yesterday
afternoon no arrest had been made.
