Assaulted by Negroes.

The fourteen-year-old daughter OF
Carl Zestra, at Lodore, Amelia county,
was criminally assaulte ! December %,
by negro identified by his viclim as
Jesse Gillian, seventeen years old, who
escaped and is sill at large. lhe rela-
tiyes of the young woman up to this
time have succeeded in suppressing the
facts, believing that the fugitive would
be ove7taken and brought TO justice.
The board of supervisors of Amelia
county has offered a reward of 500 Tor
the capture Of Gillian, but the negro up
to this time has eluded pursuit. Miss
Zes,ra was waylaid in secluded spot
about a mile from her home by negro,
who. she declares, was Gillian. She
knew bim well, having seen him a
hundred times at work on an ad-
joining farm. The girl fought the negro
desperately and twice regained her feet
after she had been thrown to the ground,
but was finally rendered unconscious by
blow. Bruises on her hands, arms,
and neck bear out the story she relates
OF her fight with her assailant. She ar
rived at her home several hours later
more dead than alive, and is still under
the treatment of physicians. Governor
Montague has Heen notified OF the crime
and the escape of the negro. and Will
offer an additional reward OF 500 fIr his
capture.
Miss Annie Booze, teacher OF county
school near Milford, Sussex county,

day morning while on her way to school.
He first asked FIR aims, then put his
hand over her mouth, and threw her to
the ground. She managed to tell her
assaiiant that three white men we're
watching him and gave him her school,
house keys, telling him that she nad

Mr. Lambs speech.

Capt. Lamb spoke in the House yester-
day in support of the bill to reduce the
tariff on Philippine products. lnciden-
tally, Captain Lamb made reply to
the assertion of Representative Adams,
Of Wisconsin, who said he discovered
when in Richmond to address the con-
vention of commissioners OF agriculture
last summer that three out OF four OF the
southern democrats he met were glad
Roosevelt had been elected and the re-
publican tariff policy continued. After
showing that Mr.. Roosevelt had received
but between five and six hundred votes
in Richmond, Captain Lamb created
much laughter and applause by declar-
ing: "T6e gentleman should not take
TOO seriously the declarations OF southern
men who are entertaining him." A word
picture of the prosperity Of the south was
made by Mr. Lamb who will vote hrst
for the minority substitute and on Its
defeat, for the majority bill. The tar'h'
he predicts, will cause the downfall OF
the republican party in the next presl'
den campaign.
