FlENDISHl ASSAULT.
A Young Lady Near Florence The
Victim

Florence. Special.-Miss Gertrude
Rhodenkerchen, step-daughter Of ]. G.
Delecody, superintendent Of the Ma
tional cemetery, was Monday afternoon
the victim of brutal assault with in
tent to ravish.
Her assailants were two brutes OF
the lowest African type. While the
purpose was not accomplished, the
young lady is severely injured. A long
cash is on her forehead, her throat
bears the marks of brutal fingers, and
she is prostrated from the shock.
Several squads are securing the
country on horseback, in buggies and
on foot. The crowd is cool but deter
mined. Neighboring points have been
furnished with descriptions and every
thing is beng done to apprehend the
assailants.
The National cemetery is two miles
from Florence. Miss Rhodenkerchen
was alone, ner father having gone on
with the gardener after after water.
Two negroes-she thought them farm
water. which she gave them. They re-
turned on another pretense, and then
for a third time The young lady grew
apprehensive at the third visit. One
pretended IS hand was hurt and asked
for little soda. When given the soda
the men asked for a piece OF paper,
and Miss Rhodenkerchen turned to go
in and get it. This occurred at the
kitchen ,.oor.
AS she turned the blacklist of the
negroes exclaimed: You shall never
leave this door" az struck her down
with his fist The brute knelt by her
and with his hands at her throat
drowned her screams. At the instance
of his accomplice, the chief assallant
cut deep cash in the struggling young
lady's forehead and rendered her SEN
seless. The brutes then took flight.
When she recovered consciousness Miss
Rhodenkerchen ran, with the blood
streaming from her face, to the house
of negro 400 yards distant. She was
taken care of and a physician sent Tor
and the wounds dressed.

Cornwall. Ontario. The other day the
Government sent an officer to survey

following unique manner:
Those Indians who were without

chiefs Of the tribes, and those whom
the chiefs considered worthy were

nine names. But there were only
homesteads for eight, 50 the difficulty
was overcome by placing in Il hat
sixty.nine names. siXty-one Of which
were blanks. An Indian boy drew

The Coming Stale Fair.

Col. Thomas w. Holloway, the sec
retary of the State Fair Society, has
made the following special announce
ment as to the coming State Fair:
The 23d annual South Carolina State
Fair will be held in Columbia from
Monday, October 29th, to Friday, No
yember I'd, inclusive.
Entries are absolutely free, and all
premiums regularly awarded are paid
in full. No part of tie premium
money is retained by the society OIL
any account or pretext whatever.
The management seeks TO encourage
the exhibition of only such animals
and products as are really meritorious
and are of utility and profit to the peo-
pie of the State. This is the one great
object OF the Fair, and the society is
imbued with an ambition to add a new
zest and new dignity to agricultural
and mechanical pursuits and secure in
creased influence and greater remuner-
alton to those engaged in them.
The premium list has been carefully
revised, and the society wishes 20 ca.
attention to the inducements Offered
that will certainly attract the best ex.
hibits that can be shown in every class.
The achievements Of the State Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Society in pro-
noting the development Of agriculture
and its allied industries have never
been fully appreciated even by its best
friends; its possibilities for future use
fulness in suggesting and disseminat-
ing ideas that will materialize in I'M
proved crops. live stock and farm prac-
tice cannot be oyerestimated.
Not unmindful Of the entertainment
of its patrons, the management is en-
| deavoring to secure a number OF new
and novel attractions that will both in
struct and amuse. These will be an
nounced later. All immoral sh ;ws and
devices for gambling under any firm
whatever will be excluded from the
grounds of the society; and any person
caught violating any law OF the State
by practicing any gambling game or
device will be Immediately arrested.
The large attendance at the fair Of
fers a splendid inducement to manu-
facturers to make elaborate displays Of
their works. On all the leading rail-
roads Of the State entering Columbia
excursion rates will prevail during fair
week, thus extending facilities for Wis
iting the fair to the people Of every
quarter OF the State.
Visitors to Columbia will find much
TO entertain them besides the fair.
Every effort is made by the city to en-
| tertain her visitors, who are assured
that they will receive cordial recep-
tion and spend pleasant time. The
'air is conducted for the benefit Of the
pubic at large, and their moral sup
port and active cooperation are re-
quested in order to make the 32d an
nual fair the grandest in the history
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
society. THOS. W. HOLLOWAY,
