Lady InsuIted on a Train.

Shortly after nine O'Clock last Satur-
day night a tall, powerfully built hurley
white man boarded train at Luna Park
for this city. A number Of young ladies
who had visited the resort we're also
among the passengers on the train The
unknown man seated himself alongsi le
one of them and bis conduct soon be-
came so repugnant that she arose and
secured another seat. The man then
took possession OF seat alongside OF
another Young woman, and renewed his
gross conduct. The circumstances In
connection with his behavior were ex-
,raordinsry and bestiai, and he con-
tinued his unwarranted familiarity and
obscene advances until the city limits
were reached. When the train came to
q stop at Columbus street the young
woman who had suffered such gross III
suit from the man asked if there were
not some men on the train who would
protect her from the brute who had sat
alongside of her. The man in the
meantime LETT the train and proceeded
south on Columbus street, while the
young woman left the car on the norih
side. The matter was reported to the
police and they have made every exer-
zion to identify the man, but so far their
forts have been futile. The circum-
stances in connection with the case be-
ing revolving, the affair has naturally
caused no little Indignation. The man
IA not believed to be resident of this
city. The Alexsndrians on the train
who saw him say he was unknown to
them. Ga the way from the park il VS.
noticed that the young woman at times
was perturbed, but most OF the Pas-
re lgers say they supposed tn 1t the mtu
was the lady's escort and that the two
were simply quarrel ng with each oihe {.
