A,rocious and Brutal Assault.

A particularly atrocious and bru"
tai assault was attempted and par
italy committed upon Mrs. Wm.
Brown, wife of Squire VIM Brown,
at her home about three miles
east of St. Marys, on last Tuesday
morning. It will be remembered
by our readers that Mrs. Brown
fell last winter sustaining broken
limb from the effects of which she
has never fully recovered, and Is
yet compelled to use a crutch.
Mrs. Brown Is about sixty tve
years of age. She was sitting In
her home Tuesday morning un'
conscious of the presence OF any
one. Before she realized or was
aware of the presence of a stran.
ger a particularly vicious looking
specimen of masculine humanity
darted In the rear door and seized
her by the throat. Her crutch was
sitting by her chair. She seized 1t,
striking him over the head:
The william quickly wrested
1t from her grasp and threw 1t out
the back window and then struck
her full In the face with his fist. In
her excitement she screamed tor
her dead son, Lon. Just at this
juncture an adjoining room door
was blown violently to by a gust
of wind and the fend alarmed by
the noise, thinking assistance was
at hand, turned and fed. The mo
tive for the brutal assault upon
Mrs BroWn must have been rob-
berry and had not Providence inter
vened the almost helpless victim
might have been murdered In cold
blood. Mrs. Brown was so excited
and the occurrence was so sudden
that she could not give no accurate
description of her assailant except
he was a big vlllainous looking
brute. Every effort should be made
to ferret out the offender, and when
apprehended should be severely
dealt with. Mrs. Brown Is almost
prostrated from the fright and IN
juries.

The hot weather which has pre-
vailed during most Of the past week
eliminated last evening In storm,
which brought with 1t very con-
siderable display of electricity and
a moderate amount OF rain. The
temperature on Thursday was 90
at Grier's drug store, and the high
est point reached yesterday at noon
was ga, and 1t remained almost sta
tionary uutil half past six, when
there were forebodings of trouble.
The storm>came from the west, as
usual, but the heaviest portion
passed north of the city and then
swung around to the east being but
moderate south. The rain was pre-
ceeded by quite strong wind, but
no damage was done so far as we
were able to learn. The latter por-
tion of the night was cloudy, with
occasional sprinkles.

YESTERDAYS BALL GAME.

BIOundsyflle Team the Latest Victim
NcC,intock Rtrikea Out Nineteen
Men.-A Fine Exhibition Of Ball Play
Ing.
Sistersville again demonstrated
yesterday that she Is the equal OF
ahy amateur team In the Ohio Val
ley BY defeating the strong
Moundsville Athletic Club by the
sdore of 8 to 8.
Too much praise can not be given
McClintock for his elegant pitching
which was the best ever seen on
these grounds, he having his op-
ponent shut out without a hit or
run until the seventh inning, after
which they got three scratch hits
and three runs. McClintock also
had nineteen strike outs to his
credit which Is a remarkable feat,
which shows the good judgment of
tn Z management In securing him.
He also had good support, not an
error being made behind him.
The next game will be with the J..
J. Slipner, of Benwood on Tuesday
of next week.
One remarkable feature Of the
game was that there was but one
put out outside of catcher of first
baseman for Sistersville. King
having the extra put out by a long
run and catch of a fly In center
field.
The features of the game were
the batting of McGinnis, King and
Abrams, the slide of Saladin to sec.
ond, the pitching of McClintock
and the fielding OF Barcus from
Mouudsvllle.
Robinson who played third was
lust recently signed by Sistersvllle
and Is said 10 be very tast.

OIL Man Hurt.

Harry Culp was painfully hurt
while at work on the Treat &
Crawford company's No. II Mason,
In the Jug Handle oil field. His
feet were caught by the bull rope
and his lower limbs drawn apart to
such an extent that the muscles OF
the hips and back were very badly
strained. He was brought to his
home on Dodd street, Middlebourne,
where he Is confined to his bed and
1t will be several weeks before he
will fully recover so he can resume
his occupation. If driller Sayres
had not been near the reverse rod
and stopped the engine quickly,
Mr.. Culp would no doubt have re.
ceived fatal injuries. He Is re-
covering as fast as could be ex.
pected.

man. It is the current report there
that this was the real cause for the
trouble which led to the Withdrawing g
of the manager from the estate. While
there has been some gossip, there is
nothing to indicate that the successor
to Lowrie has been chosen, though
there has been SO much said of the
succession within the past year, that it
is taken here as certain that there
will be changes made all along the line
of the Alexander 6, Baldwin planta-
tions. with the result perhaps that W.
II. Baldwin now at Makaweli, Will
change his base and return to Maui.
Manager Lowrie came into greatest
prominence while manager of the Eva
plantation, and there he achieved much
success. He worked hard and intro
duced several new ideas, which have
been since carried out. He made the
experiment with American labor which
failed, and tried as we'll a plan for
cutting up the plantation into small
farms, but this was not what he want
ed to achieve, and ne took up the great
er work at Spreckelsviile, where under
his direction many improvements have
been under way.

MANAGER LOWRIE OUT OF
SPRECKELSVILLE PLANTATION

Az ANAGER w. ]. Lowrie of Spreck-
" elsville plantation has resigned.
4 u The information was received in
the city by those interested Saturday.
and gossip was busy yesterday with
both the fact and the reasons for the
change in the control of the great es-
tate.
Information from Maui indicates diff
ferences of opinion as the reason for
the surrender of the post by the man
ager. Since the adjournment of the
Legislature Senator II. p. Baldwin
has been constantly at SpreckelSville
according TO this information, and
there has been on more than one occa-
sion clashing between the two These
differences have been of the slightest,
it is said, yet they have always result
ed in the elder man having his way in
the premises, and this is believed to
have finally led to sufficient friction, To
have heated up the manager to the
point of resigning.
1t is reported in Wailuku that Mr.
Lowrie recently said that he had not
come to Maui to be head luna for any

last night that he had had no official
instruction from Bishop Willis as to
the multiplying of the permission granted
to the Second Congregation to worship
In the Cathedral. and had not seen the
notice posted on the Cathedral door.
His attention had been called to the
notice by persons who had seen 1t af-
ter the morning services, but he had
not been apprised as to its entire con-
tents.
DO you intend to hold services In
the Cathedral. as usual?" was asked.
"Oh, yes"
Then you will oppose the present ac-
ton of Bishop Willis in multiplying the
Second Congregation organization?''
'I certainly shall oppose it, and
would oppose anything that had the
appearance of a robbery of rights
THAT takes account. of course, of the
non-renewal of your license?"
Certainly"
Rev. Mr.. Macintosh said that until
ne had received official word from
Bishop Willis that the Second Congre-
cation was no longer permitted to wor-
ship as an organization In the Cathe-
dral. he would not decide upon plan
of action. No meeting of the wardens
and vestry had been called.
When told that Bishop Willis had
changed his own hours of service to
dovetail in with those of his own con-
gregation, and that this might inter-
fere with his own service, Mr.. Mackin-
tosh remarked that when that event
transpired would be the time to consla-
er a course of action.

| wXyASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. e.
| Ma During the last week Delegate
| w Wilcox has been seriously Ill.
and at times there has been some fear
as to the outcome OF his malady. For
three or four days after he returned
from New York, as told in the last let
| ter, he was very much under the
weather with a stomach trouble, which
developed alarmingly for the last three
days. DIR. Stewart 3. Muncaster was
called in to attend the case, and ut the
present writing the delegate has three
doctors. His illness is akin to dyspep-
,, sia, and he has vomited large quanti-
ties of blood. His physicians. who are
now meeting in consultation over him
daily, believe that recovery Is assured.
but say that he will not be able TO be
about for at least two or three weeks.
He has a trained nurse. ana is given
the best care.
Mrs. Robert w. Wilcox. the wife OF
the delegate, received both letter and
a telegram from Washington. in the
mail OF Saturday. Sne Sd1o lHdI III lAiO
letter dated January 9Th, Mr.. wilcox
said that he was i'll from stomach trou-
Bile. His secretary also said that the
delegate had been stricken on New
Years day and had been vomiting
blood and. was in a low state. To re-
lieve her alarm. however. the follow
ing was received in the mail:

Mrs. Robert w. Wilcox, Honolulu. II.
t: Have been seriously Ill. Am now
recovering. Have best doctors and
nurses. Am getting Wen slowly. but
gurely. Do not be alarmed.
ROBERT.
Mrs. Wilcox said that she took the
telegram as meaning that there was
absolutely no danger, but that even in
this condition she was considering the
question of leaving for the coast in
the very next steamer so that she
could learn just what was her hus-
bands condition, and to hurry on TO
to be at his bedside.
The Advertisers telegram, heading
this article, is dated one day later than
that received by Mrs. wilcox.

5K3 Hen Bishop Bishop wills " n.s. Of the , Ansh,
the above notice to be tackled on
the inner side of the main door TO ST.
Andrews Cathedral yesterday morn
ing. he officially ended the existence of
the Second Congregation of st. Andrew
as q distinct ecclesiastical body. The
organization, which, in 1885, was given
permission to worship in the Cathedral
church under the ministry of Rev. Al
eXander Macintosh, was declared yes
terday to have become non-existent,
and but one congregation, that of Bish-
op Willis, will be permitted to worship
there.
BY the same act Bishop Willis nulli-
fies the authority OF Rev. Alexander
Macintosh to appear in the Cathedral
as minister of the gospel, as the
Bishop has not, and will not renew his
license as such. The licenses of all the
other ministers holding licenses at the
end Of the past year were renewed.
In order that there would be no fnie-
take as to his intentions in freezing
OUT the Second Congregation, Bishop
Willis has also changed the hour of
holding the Sunday morning services
at which he presides from II to 10:30
a m. This cuts in on Mr.. Mackin-
toSh'S service, which ordinarily COM
mences at 9:45 a. m. and continues un-

BANK FIGURES NOT
GOOD INDICATION
According TO Statement They
Lost 100000 in Cash
PROBLEM HARD TO EXPLAIN
Movement of Money Market for Week
Made Cash Gain over 100000,
the Clearing House Gaining
BY Treasury Operations.

New York, December 27-The Finan-
cier says:
There is a wide variance between the
published figures of the New York assoc
ciated banks for the week ending Decem-
Der 81 and the known movement of money
covering the past five days business. Ac-
cording to the official statements, the
banks lost 100000 in cash, specie de-
creasing 1924, 400 and legal tenders In
creasing $1,9O2, 400. The unofficial prelimi-
nary estimate of the movement of money
for the week made cash gain over $500 GOO,
the clearing house institution having lost
$40, 1872 to the interior and gained $1,07i.o0o
from treasury operations and receipts Of
new gold. It is difficult to explain this
discrepancy, although it is highly Prob
able that the shipments of money to the
interior, which aggregated nearly 1880
coo, against receipts of about S. 500, 900, are
reflected in the average system to the
disadvantage of the banks. Shipments to
the south were unusually large, owing to
operations in cotton The season has ar
rived, however, when remittances from
she interior may be expected to Increase
1t is also true lnaL the trust Colup9AlAlSS
of New York must file their semi-annual
reports next Wednesday, and since some
of these institutions like to make good
showing of cash in their vaults, their
balances in banks may have been drawn
upon for temporary purposes. 1t is usu-
ally the case that money flows rapidly
into banks following Christmas local
trade but if this has occurred within
the past day or two, the movements have
quite counteracted it,
One favorable feature not disclosed by
the statement is that he banks for he
first time for over two months are gain
ing on sub-treasury operations Other
changes were unimportant in their eff
feet on the totals Loans fell off $3.50, 400.
The decrease of s1.544,50o in reserve
brought the excess over legal require
ments to Sc, 200, the lowest figure
reached since October IS, last. The state
ment considered generally must be re-
garded as unfavorabe. Still year ago
a surplus reserve was only a little more
than $1,000, 0CO above S26 900. The pre-
vailing high rates for money will prob
ably have an early influence in attracting
money from the interior The enormous
January dividend disbursements aggre-
gate between s132, 0OO0 600 and s195, 100000 will
have some disturbing effect, although this
is already in evidence and will disappear
within the next two weeks.
