In a Negro's Clutch.

NoRRIsTowN, PA, June 4.--Miss
Rachel Egbert, residing ON the Arch street
road. near the borough line, was brutally
assaulted this evening by an unknown man
Miss Egbert had been attending church
and was returning to her home, when,
near the borough line, man jumped out
from some bushes and struck at her As
Miss Egbert turned to run, her assailant
grabbed her by the throat, and desperate
struggle took place.
Miss Egbert is quite an athlete, and
fought the man with all her strength He
finally knocked her down, however. John
Bickings heard the woman screaming and
went to her assistance The man tore the
woman watch from her belt and ran in
the direction of Hickorytown Officers
Gaul and Carrigan were notified and chas-
ed him over a mile, until he eluded them
in the darkness.
Miss Egbert is badly used up, and is
suffering from shock. Her face and neck
are terribly swollen, She says she Is posi-
tive that her assGilant was a colored man.
When he grabbed her he said III. you
make noise | will kill you
Miss Egbert says she dug her finger
nails in the mans face, and that he can
easily be identified by the marks.

"Mr. Patterson, this is portrait of my
uncle, Judge said cheeky, talky
man to him one day whilst exhibiting ''the
family picture gallery "Mr are
you no, mistaken about his being judge?
When knew him he was constable and
a very worthy man.
heard him say one day to a person
who had been Dragging about cousin,
Judge, "do you know how your cou-
sin, Judge, broke up camp meeting
which he did not wish held in a woods
adjoining his farm p
No, | do not, sir.
'Well, he in a state of nature sat upon
a fence at the head of the lane leading to
the spot selected and the women would not
go by, and that broke up the camp-meet-
ing.
He told many anecdotes of a well-known
citizen of Baltimore, one of the ''old tim
ers, who being very eccentric and i'll
tempered, was thought to be insane. A
jury was summoned and met and asked the
apparently crazy man many questions which
he answered well enough. At last the
conversation turned upon the visit to Bal
timore of an Englishman, the first dentist
who ever came to that city. The alleged
insane man said, HE came to see me and
wondered at my fine teeth | told him |
had peculiar tooth far back in my mouth
soft tooth. He said he never heard of
such thing One of the jury, an in
quisitive man, said, ''Mr.--, have you
still that tooth p ..Yes. - ''NIay feel
it Certainly The juryman' fin
ger was thrust into the opened mouth,
which suddenly closed with snap, the
lunatic said, who's crazy, d-n you, you
or I?''
Mr.. Patterson used to ride about his
farm every good day, and it was amusing
to see him set out, mount his tall horse, and
call to his immense dogs-he always used
their full names, here Robert +. Lee,
Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis and
Beauregard
One day he said to me ''The United
States forces attacked me twice and |
routed them both times Once they came
to my front door and | opened it. They
told me they were going to search my
house for arms, but | pointed two pistols
at them and said, there Il be two of you
dead if you enter, and they retreated. .
Upon the other occasion some soldiers
attempted to take his horses from his wag-
ous, but Mr. Patterson called all his men
and neighbors together, caught the would
be robbers, took the horses from them and
threw them, the warriors, into his mill
stream
When last | saw him he said Il ex-
pect to live until | am ninety and to retain
my senses until the last But he was
mistaken as to the length of his life, for
he died before he was eighty, if | remem-
ber correctly. | was in the South at the
time Of his death

this clever but much misunderstood gen
tleman but want of space forbids.

Confederate Gift Rejected.

CoLUMBUs, ONO, June 4-The G.
\. r. posts of Columbus were criticised
last week on account of having refused to
receive floral tribute from ex-Confed-
crates of the South, to be placed on Union
graves here
The floral committee, which rejected the
emblem, has prepared an explanation of
the incident, which says
'In first accepting the wreath, the chair
man of the committee did not know what
entered into the formation of the emblem.
When it was learned that the design con-
tanned the emblem of the American flag
supported by an arm clothed in the Con-
federate gray, with an arm clothed in blue
beneath it, many members of the Grand
Army Of the Republic entered their pro-
tests against placing the emblem upon the
mound and it was rejected" F."

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, September 22.-Bradstreets financial review will say tomorrow:
 Money continues firm, though toward the close of the week there was a relaxation of the pressure which. the stock market had experienced from this cause. The de- cline of exchange rates and the news about $500,000 of gold had been engaged in Lon don for shipment to New York caused a somewhat better feeling a. to the outlook and the market rallied more or less from its earlier depression. The threatening as- pect of the Tansvaal situation was among the bearish factors of the week and it is thought that while the danger of war in South Africa overhangs the London mar ket there is little likelihood of any heavy gold imports from the other side. The movement of money from New York to the interior continues and the bank statement of last Saturday practically wiped out the surplus reserve. Yet the money market this week, while firm, was not stringent and though the call loan rate was firm at about 6 per cent extreme variations from that level were less marked.
 The pressure to liquidate holdings of stocks has, at times, been severe, the most significant illustrations of this having been afforded by the rapid break in Brooklyn Transit and other Flower stocks, in the early part of the week. The decline in prices and the reduction of the volume of loans to Wall street has naturally been factor in aggravating the monetary situa- tion. It also seems that stocks have been largely passed from weak into strong hands, while the movement of the past fortnight has made bears of the profession als and resulted in the creation of a larger short interest than the market has possess ed for some time. The activity of the bears was naturally feature of the week, and through manipulation of this kind, some of the extreme declines may be as- cribed.
 The covering of shorts on large scl'e contributed largely to the rallying ten dency in prices, which began on N etlncs- day, and which assumed consideraaIe force in Thursdays transactions. The public was by no means active, except in reiuc- ton of it's marginal holdings of stocks and the market has been practically in the hands of profess onals.
 The rapid advance of Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western stock to 191, and the strength of the other anthracite coal prop critics, seems to reflect a general belief that the position of the coal trade has under gone @ material improvement, while in the case of I,ackawanna there are rumors of some pending developments regarding its capital and dividends, which would justify the advance. Nor are railroad deals lack ing, the most important happening of that kind being the reported sale of large in- terests in the Southern Pacific to bankers identified with the property.
