the Park Place elevated railroad station,
when well-dressed men of middle age
threw his arms around her.
Greatly frightened, Miss Jacob shrieked
and her feet slipped from under her. The
mans arms were still around her. and he
supported her, kissing her as fast as he
could on the lips. cheeks and throat, while
she fought him with all her strength, beat
ing his face with her fists.
Men passing were not quick to realize
that the girl was being kissed against her
will. But when she tore herself from her
assailant and stood pale, trembling. half
fainting, they perceived that an outrage
had been committed4

WHIPPED FOR w1FE-BEATING.
Twenty Lashes Gently Administered
by Garrett County, Sheriff.


by Garrett County's Sheriff.
Oakland Md, April david S. Martin
and David McMnn, who were each con-
victed in the circuit court for Garrett
county for wife beating. and upon whom
Judge Edward Stake imposed a sentence
of twenty lashes and confinement in the
House of Correction. suffered the whipping
penalty yesterday afternoon in the pres
cnce OF two witnesses The whipping was
administered in the corridor of the second
story of the jail, where the prisoners were
taken separately and securely fastened
with handouts and straps to a cell door.
The whipping was administered by Will
liam p. Lee. Sheriff OF Garrett county. Due
10 his kindness and to the further fact that
the statute of Maryland does not require it,
neither of the prisoners was compelled to
receive the whipping upon his bare back.
Martin received his whipping first. He
was clad in an undershirt of thin material
white laundered shirt and trousers. 1t
was not until some four or five lashes had
been struck that he seemed to suffer from
the punishment. Then he cried ont that
it hurt and each lash thereafter brought
forth like cry.
Immediately after Martin was whipped,
McMinn was brought up from his cell on
the second floor and received his punish
ment AS soon as the first blow was
struck he began to sob and cry out with
pain. His clothing was also of thin
character and he suffered much more than
Martin. They both seemed TO be greatly
humiliated promising to do better in the
future. The sheriff did not display any
violence, beyond that necessary to execute
his duties.
The whip was a common wagon or team
ster's whip and five feet in length. Both
of the men were also convicted of assault
and battery. Martin will have to serve a
term of three years in the House of Cor
rection and McMinn one year.

HenGeImueIIcr in Fad odor.
There has been good deal of talk about
the return OF Minister Hengelmueller TO
Washington and his promotion 10 the rank
Of Amba ssador with a corresponding change
in the American Legation at Vienna.
The statements are incorrect. The ele-
ration OF the Austrian Legation at Wash
ington will not take place until the United
States shall have given satisfaction for The
Latimer affair and paid the indemnity de-
manded- The State Department, accord
ing to Vienna information, has displayed
an eagerness TO have an embassy in Vienna
and has persisted in its request in the face
OF cold. not to say naughty, reserve on
the part of the Anstro- Hungarian Gov
ernmenf.
Minister Hengelmueiler's return to wash
ington is undecided. AS a matter Of fact,
he is in bad odor at the Foreign Office AMI
the Emperor is personally displeas5d with
him II is complained that he has not
enough energy and ability to conduct diplo-
matte business with such snrewd men OF
affairs as the Americans. and it is believed
in Vienna that the Minister'S feeble con-
duct and negotiations prevented the Lat
inner affair being settled long ago. II the
Legations of the two countries became
Embassies it does not follow that Hengel-
mueller will be Austria's first Ambassador.

The newly published life of Sir Charles
Bright made us realize how all the world

may give the same pre-eminsnce to the first
message without wires which this week
the Times received from the Continent.
At a French village on the coast, two
miles north of Boulogne, a vertical stan
dard wire was erected $50 feet high, and
under the personal direction OF Signor
Marconi, the inventor of the system. mes
sagss were sent TO the South Foreland. a
distance Of thirty-two miles. The electric
waves were generated by means of a ten
inch induction coil and about fifty primary
cells. The messages were transmitted at
the rate of about fifteen words minute,
and were perfect in clearness. The French
Government is making exhaustive tests
