Women Were Frightened.

Complaint has been made that two
unknown men have on several Orca-
siuns frightened a number of women
ON Tenth street. between Scranton ana
NaShburn streets, during the evening
and that they have been even bold
enough to catch hold of them.
Their practice is to conceal them
selves within the shadow of the trees
and when unprotected women pass
that way, follow after and frighten
them. The police are keeping sharp
watch on the place and If the in
trId"rs are caught they will be pun
iShed severely

president Receives visitor.

Tuesday was a day Of much hand
shaking and little business at the White
House. Members of Congress and the
Supreme Court, visiting Governors and
their staffs, clubs and other organiza-
tions gave the President a very busy
day.
He began at 10 o'clock by giving
reception to Troop A OF Cleveland,
Ohio. A great crowd Of strangers wait
ed outside for the doors to be opened,
but owing to the large number OF peo-
pie having appointments with the Presi-
dent it was decided not to complcate
matters by opening the doors to the
general public. Governor Charles II.
Dietrich and staff of Nebraska called
early. The Hamilton Club OF Chicago
also called. Among the visitors were
many State Governors. Eight mem
bers Of the National Fremont Associa-
tion met the President in the East
Room. The members OF this Associa-
tion took part in the Convention OF
June, 1886, in Philadelphia.
