Solicitor Brooks residence. Upon an
improper proposal being made to her,
Mrs. Johnson screamed, when the brute
made for her.
Dashing the dinner pail in his face she
fled screaming, pursued by tho man un-
til she bounded over the solicitors back
fence, when the pursuer again went into
hiding. Later he was seen to mount a
wagon driven by another negro and lash
the horse into gallop, jumping out at
dense thcket on a branch near Ashe
street just as the pursuers caught sight
Of him.
A negro answering his description was
arrested at o'clock but promptly dis
charged when Mrs. Johnson was able 10
look at him and declare he was not the
man. Every possible clew is being fol-
lowed by officers to catch up with the
assailant, but so far without success.
Mrs. Johnson is suffering from the re-
suit of fright and excitement. She is a
woman of irreproachable character for
truth and modesty.

ing The exercises were chiefly of
preliminary character and formed a very
suitable opening devotional proposition
for the work of the yearly meeting this
year. There were present delegates from
the eight quarterly meetings constituting
the yearly meeting, and these had come
together for a serious consideration of
the needs of the church with special
references to the preaching of the gospel
and building up the church in the various
communities represented at the night
session. The main business was con-
ference of what is known as the Home
Mission Committee. At this conference
reoprts were made of the conditions ex-
listing throughout the yearly meetings,
and it was hoped that though the knowl-
edge thus derived the next yearly gath
ering may be better planned and more
fruitful in results
