VICTIM INTO
|NSENS|B|L|TY
Arrest Of a Fiendish
Youth.

Thirteen Years, Identified
in Prison.
BRUTALLY TREATED A GIRL
DRAGGED HER INTO A STABLE
WHERE SHE WAS FOUND.

Mary Grosii, aged 13 years. living at 500
King street. was brutally assaulted by a
young man named Thomas Anglassey
yesterday afternoon. The unfortunate
girl was on her way home when she was
accosted by Anglassey, who was under
the influence Of liquor. He attempted TO
engage her in conversation. and, becom-
ing alarmed, the girl started to run
toward her home. With an oath Anglas-
sey caught her by the throat. and. after
choking her into insensibility, dragged
her into a stable a short distance away.
4 citizen VINO was passing al the time
rushed to the girl 5 assistance. and, after
a short struggle ne succeeded in putting
the fendish youth TO flight.
The girl was at once removed TO her
home and a physician summoned. Her
neck was swollen and dscolored and h.r
clothing literally torn in shreds.
The police of the Seventeenth-stree
station were notified of the outrage
and several officers were sent to find An
classy While they were searching for
him the vicious youth was engaged III
creating q disturbance near the scene Of
his crime Police Sergeant Campbell
happened TO be in the vicinity and placed
AngIassey under arrest Not knowing
that he was wanted for the brutal assault
on the GrOSii girl, Campbell ordered him
a short time after he had been taken
10 the City Prison Captain Spillane, sUs-
pectlng that he was the aSSailant OF the
6irosii girl. sent for her Accompanied by
her parents she subsequently visited the
City Prison and promptly identified her
asSailant An additional charge OF bdt-
terry was then recorded against Anglas-
sey.
in telling the story Of the assault the
girl said: 4 was walking along King
street on my way home when the prison
er caught me by the throat and almost
strangled me. I struggled TO free myself
from his grasp. when, he tighte59ed his
grip on my throat, and l swooned away.
in a stable bruised and bleeding. A ciu-
zen. who had evidently been attracted 70
the place by my screams for help, picked
me up and assisted me TO my home.
The unfortunate girl shows unmistak-
able traces Of the assault committed On
her by Anglassey. Her throat is badl%
scratched and swollen and her face cut IN
several places. It is likely that an ad-
di+ional charge of an assault Will be
placed against the prisoner to-day.

that was all there was 10 II. No one made
any objection 10 her presence and no one
audibly objected when she boldly cast her
ballot and thereby cast a stain over the
election that the teachers are now trying
to wipe out When Mrs. Craven was
dropped from the department. not by dis
missal but by a forced resignation. there
were q great many teachers who COnsid
cred it was time 10 drop Mrs. Craven
from the other privileges which teachers
in good standing are entitled 10. There
were quite a number, however, who be-
ueved Mrs. Craven was really the wife
Of Fair. and these friends are now the ac
association that is willing to have Mrs.
Craven figure among those who have been
honorably retired from the department.
There are none who are anxious for her
TO be put on the roll. The old committee
was approached on the subject. but there
was opposition enough TO make it seem
a hopeless case, and then it became nOised
abroad that Mrs. Craven would try TO
have elected a committee that would be
willing 10 bite at the glitterinig bait she
was offering and lend the respeCtability Of
the teachers TO bolster up her fight for
the portion of d doubtful widow. There
was no active fight and the committee
elected is no more apt TO accede 70 her
tive opponents Of the scheme on the old
committee were placed on the new one.
But Mrs. Craven was present and she
voted. and outside Of the parliamentary
tangle which il has caused the unanimous
opinion Is expressed that whatever else
il was il was an exhibition Of assurance
hard to equal.

IT WAS A CASE OF NERVE.
How the Teachers Looked on the
Presence of Mrs. Craven

The presence and the vote Of Mrs Net
tie R. Craven at the Teachers Annuity
Association last Saturday has led TO a
peculiar complication and the teachers
are now considering whether or not they
will have 10 hold another meeting and an
other election Of candidates to the retire
ment committee 70 rectify the parlia-
mentary error.
Mrs Craven Is anxious 10 be retired
honorabIy by the teachers and admitted
10 the benefits of the pension fund. She
has declared she will never draw on the
fund for q dollar and will III addition
turn over S25.000 to the association if she
shall be passed as worthy its privileges,
and when the meeting to elect a new re-
tirement committee was held last Satur-
day Mrs Craven was present.
There was a great deal Of comment on
the presence Of Mrs. Craven. 1t was de-

Sunset District Affairs.

The Sunset District Improvement Club
at its last meeting passed a resolution
calling the attention of the Supervisors
to the choked condition of the II street
sewer. This sewer was constructed last
year at the urgent request of the resi-
dents Of the valley at an expense of
$4,000. After the long wait of the peo-
pie for a drainage outlet the sewer was
run through the principal section of the
valley. But, like the majority Of munic-
ipal jobs, it was a failure. 1t ran into
a sand heap at its western terminus.
This has left it without an outlet and as
a result 1t has become choked and IS
practically useless as a sewer. and even
worse; it backs up its offensive matter
and flows into the side sewers from the
numerous dwellings. The effect Of this
was that property owners were com
PEELED for sanitary purposes to sink cess
pools in their yards.
The customary set Of resolutions de-
nouncing gambling and adding stiffening
material to the backs Of the Police Com
missiOners in refusing licenses TO the Of
tenders were passed

EARTHQUAKES HIS THEME.
Rev. E. a. Woods Delivers an Inter
esting Sermon on Temblors and
Their Dire Effects.

Rev E. a. Woods of the First Baptist
Church delivered a sermon on An Earth
quake and What Came Of It." last night,
in the course Of which he enlightened his
listeners on the earthquakes of past cen
turles. their causes and effects. He said
in part:
EARTHQUAKES have been common in all ages
both ancient and modern II a. .. s. the cit
les of Herculaneum and Pomoeu were de-
stroyed by an earthquake, and the historian
Gibbon says that 250 eco people perished. In
1855 there was an earthquake at Lisbon, Por-
tugal, in which 50 600 people perished. II IS
estimated that in the history Of the human
race a. many as g. 900. eco OK people have thus
perished. In our own times, and within the
United States. earthquakes arc NOT uncommon.
but the results have not been disastrous.
IN ancient times earthquakes were supposed
to be the result Of supernatural agencies. but
scientific investigation has disproved this The
earthquake spoken OF in the text may have
