AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.
Gen. Greedy Attacked by Rui.iun
and Seriously Injurcd-Uncon-
sciouS for an Hour.

| Washington, Jan. Seen. y. W.
Greedy, chief signal officer of the army
and the well-known Arctic explorer,
| lies in serious condition at his home
in this city. as the result of an as
sault committed on him about half
past eight o'clock last night by Joseph
C. Furnace, messenger in the EN-
ploye of the Adams Express Co.
| Yesterday Furnace, who lives liz
Baltimore, Nd. in company with Il
friend named George Murphy, spent
the day in Washington drinking, until
late in the afternoon, when they start
ed for disreputable portion of the
town. They lost their way and finally
reached the northwestern portion OF
the city beyond the state, war and
navy departments.
They first tried to get admittancc to
| the residence of E. d. King, but being
unable to do so, continued on their
| way up G street.
Twice they went to the house OF
Gen. Greedy. The first attempt to OBJ
tain admission was made as friend
of the family calling to pay a visit to
| the daughter of the general. Later they
made another effort, and persisted in
ringing the doorbell and otherwise Gre
| ating a disturbance, until finally Gen.
| Greedy came out to eNpostulate with
them. They refused to leave the house.
and after some words, Furnace seized
the general and threw him down the
long fight of steps which ascend from
the pavement to the house, which
stands on high terrace. The fall cut
a severe cash in the back of the gen.
erals head.
He was picked up and taken into the
house, and medical aid was summoned.
He remained unconscious for about an
hour.
Murphy, who was with Furnace, took
no part in the assault, but when he
saw what his companion had done,
took to his heels and ran away. Fur
mace is young rpan, % years of age,
and his run for the express company
is between Baltimore and Cincinnati.
He offers no excuse for his act. He
was arrested and locked up in the POI
lice station.
Late last night physicians attending
Gen. Greedy said he would recover.
May he EniOined from Removing.

REED AND HIS MUSTACHE.
The Man from Maine Was Proud OF
1t Till a Barber Did 1t Up
for Him.

"The members of the last two congresses
will recall the smooth-shaven visage of
former Speaker Reed" said an old attache
of the house to Times reporter the other
day. "And the older members will likewise
remember that Reed at one time wore
mustache of few struggling hairs, so often
seen on the upper lips of extremely fieshy
men. How Mr.. Reed parted with his hirsute
apology can best be told by certain barber
in the house of representatives who attended
to that gentleman's wants.
Zone day the big man from Maine settled
himself in the BARRIERS chair and requested
shave. When the operation was completed
Mr.. Reed Strengthened himself and asked:
Have you any of that old-fashioned pomade
to wax mustaches with?
"The barber hustled among his pots and
jars and produced French preparation in
vogue a quarter of century ago, and then
proceeded to wax the ends of the Maine
statesman's few wirelike hairs.
when the man of snapshot sentences
arose and contemplated himself in the glass
he turned to the astonshed barber and said:
Cut this blanked-blank mustache off, for
you have made me look like a COMPOUNDED
catfish
"Since then Mr.. Reed has not worn any
covering beneath his nose."-Washingto
