HOT FIGHT ON POSTAL SITE.

West Chester, Pa, Nov. 30. The
fight which has been in progress at
this place over the location of the new
postoffice building was resumed before
Supervising Architect Taylor of the
Treasury Department yesterday. The
latter gave hearing to committee OF
prominent citizens in the court room,
and the discussion grew quite warm.
Some want the building located in
the southern part of the town, and
others advocate the northern section.
In the latter Two sites are offered, one
at the corner of Walnut and Gay
streets, which is vacant lot, and the
other at High and Chestnut. The
former can be had for sl5, 900, and the
latter for $1,000. The advocates of the
southern section offer the s2U, 900 Young
Mems Christian Association Building
and lots at the corner of Church and
Miner streets. 1t is now conceded
that the building will go to the north
ern sention, with the lot at Walnut ant
Gay streets as the preference of the
people.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Taylor anC
the committee of citizens visited tn,
prospective locations, and the forme
will make a Recommendation -a ;

Thus yesterday spoke John Lawrence

Through his attorney, James F. Mack,
Sullivan filed a petition in bankruptcy
in the United States District Court.
His liabilities he placed at 81, 65S. 78.
He gave his assets as "old clothes,
valued at $50, including few opera
hats, dress suits and oyerooats. .
Sullivan's creditors are the Anheuser-

Co., wholesale liquor dealers, Sj5S. rs.
John l., who, despite his plea of
poverty, has been receiving good
salary as a monologist in variety
show, heard, it is said, that the tailors'
bill was likely to make trouble for him
when he opens in Boston December

ruptcy prevents this. The bill was con-
tracted in 1893. Sullivan doesn't

FOUL CRIME IN A CHURCH.
A Young Woman Attacked by Br'
lNhiIo Sl.a Nras Enra,.ed In PrnYar.


A Young woman Attacked by a Brute
While She Was Engaged In Prayer.
Detroit, Mich, Nor. 20. The details
of one Of tho foulest crimes ever perpe-
trated in Detroit lave been made
public, involving the assault of young
woman last Saturday evening in st.
Mary's Catholic Church, corner OF
Monroe avenue and Antoine street.
Owing to tho fact that the young
woman did not see her assnilant and,
therefore, could not identify him, the
matter was not reported to the police.
1t is doubtful if similar crime has
ever hoen committed under the same
circumstances, and the depth Of foul
ness to whicn the wretch rcscr.ed can
be understood when he chose a church
in which to commit the dead. The
young woman in questi IN is "a years
old and he daughter of a prominent
! parishioner of the church. She has
heenl in poor health for several years,
and it vas her custom 10 go to the
! church every DAY, at whatever hear
was most convenient, and spend haif
an hour in pray In the rear Of the
church and to the right of the main
entrance is a gEotto built in a small
| room. The altar is built to resemble q
huge rock, and in the center is bean-
tiful statue of the Blessed Virgin. This
was her fayorite place. and she was
| there daily.
On Saturday afternoon she had been
down town visiting friends, and on
returning reached che church about {
| o'clock. She went Immediately Q the
| grotto and engaged in prayer, and il
| was there that the fiend assaulted her.
The room is rather dark, and the young
! woman noticed no person near her.
| She was first aroused by o mar
clapping one hand over her eyes, anc
before she could make an outcry hs
choked her into insensibility with the
other. 1t was half an hour later wher
she regained consciousness and stag
4 gered 10 her feet. People were coming
into the church to go to confession,
and it was all the young woman coulr
do to walk to her home. There sh'
tainted, and after physician had beef
called she made known the terrible
facts to her mother
There is usually a large number 0
people in church on Saturday after
noon and evening, but at o'clocl
both the priests left their confessional
to get supper. The man evidently mad
certain that there was no one near, AM
he made sure that his victim woul'
make no outcry. 1t was decided tina
no good could he subserved by report
ing the case to the police, as the womal
never even caught glimpse OF ne
assailant and would be powerless t
identity anyone suspected of the crime
The family dreaded any publicity unde
the circumstances, bat the case wa
reported to Father Grunewald. tn
pastor, SO that precautions might b
taken so that some other young woma
might not suffer. Her identity is no

AMERICAN SEALERS WIN.
Verdict Rendered in Interesting Cases by
Prof Asser.


Prof. Asser,
The Hague, Holland, Nov. 20. Prof.
Asser, Dutch jurist, who has been
arbitrating the claims of American
sealers for the seizure Of their vessels
by the Russian government about 10
years ago, has delivered his award in
favor OF the United States. lie ap-
nraises the damages in the case of the
American schooner G. H. White at
S32, 444, in the case of the james
Hamilton Lewis at s2S, ,5Ss in the case
of the Kate and Anna at 81, 4S8 and in
the case of the Cape Horn Pigeon at
S3S, $50.
Prof. Asser delivered his judgment in
the arbitration court, in the presence
of the representatives of the United
States and of Russia and others, in
Netherlands, Dr. Van Lyndena.
In giving his reasons for the award,
Prof Asser held that the schooner @.
H. White was seized outside Russian
territorial waters, and that the Russian
contention that warship of one nation
was entitled to pursue beyond the
boundaries of its territorial seas ship
OF another nation guilty of illegal
tenable. The arbitrator declared thai
the jurisdiction of the state could moi
extend beyond its territorial waters,
except by special treaty. The seizure
and confisoation of the G. II. White
and the imprisonment of her crew was,
therefore, illegal, and Russia was con
demned to pay the @. II. White S32,
494, with interest of ger cent.
The case of the james Hamilton
Lewis is governed by the same de
cision, while in the case of the Cap'
4 Horn Pigeon Prof. Asser, in fixing th'
damages of S39. $50 and the interest a
6 per cent, held that the general prin
cipal that damages should includ'
the prospective profits of which tn
victim had been deprived applies
equally to international litigation.
| In the case of the Kate and Anni
tho arbitrator decided that the captain
could hare continued seal hunting
and that, therefore, Russia was not re
sronsible for the prospective profits.
Both the James Hamilton Lewis an
Kate ana Anna are given 6 per cent o
the amount awarded.
