his home as the result Of an assault
committed on him about half past s
tonight by Joseph C. Furnace, a mes
senger in the employ Of the Adams
Express company.
Furnace, who lives in Baltimore, in
company with a friend named George
Murphy, spent today in Washington,
drinking until late in the afternoon,
when they started for a disrepuIaDls
portion OF the town. They lost their
way and finally reached the north
western section Of the city. beyond the
STATE, war and navy building.
They first tried to get admission to
the residence of z. D. King, but being
unable to do go, continued on their way
up C street. Twice they went 70 the
house Of General Greedy. The first at
tempt to obtain admission was made as
a friend of the family calling to pay a
visit to the daughter Of the general.
Later they made an effort and persist
ed in ringing the door-bell and other
wise creating a disturbance, until final
ly General Greedy came out to expos
tuiate with them. They refused to leave
the house, and after some words Fur
mace seized the general and threw him
down the long fight of steps which
ascend from the pavement to the house,
which stands on a high terrace. The
fall cut a severe cash in the back Of
the Generals head. He was picked up
and taken into the house and medical
aid was summoned. He remained I'M
conscious for about an hour.
Murphy took no part in the assault,
but when he saw what his companion
had done, took to his heels. Furnace,
who is % yeans of age, offers no excuse
for his act. He was arrested
Late tonight the physician attending
General Greedy said he would recover.
