BLACK BRUTE ATTACKS WHITE WOMAN.

living in Salisbury until abou
the middle Of June, when sh'

left the house and was going te
Tyack's store, when, as she ap
preached the bridge over Dutcf
Second creek, on the Stokes ferry
road, an unknown negro man sud
denly made his appearance, and
presenting a vial containing 6
liquid, demanded that she drink
it or submit to an outrage. She
drank the unknown contents
turned and ran through a cane
brake closely followed by the ne
gro. He caught her some distance
below the bridge and threw hel
into the creek. She succeeded in
getting out of the water but did
not 60 far before becoming ex.
hausted and unconscious, in which
condition she remained in hel
water-soaked clothing some foul
or five hours. Upon awakening
she was somewhat bewildered, but
succeeded in making her way
back to the house, where, after
relating her experience she tainted
and was not fully restored to- hel
normal condition until DR.. G. M
Poole had given her medical at.
tentlon and treatment. Of course
Mrs. Ksler does dot know what
took place during her unconscious
state, but after full restoration tc
her normal state she states posi.
lively that nothing more occurred
than narrated above.
The officers were notified of the
crime and they, with many priv.
ate citizens, made most diligept
efforts to locate and capture the
criminal, but so far without sue.

Mrs. Kesler did not know the
negro and is unable to give a de-
scription Of him sufficiently accur

is only one colored family living
in that neighbe rhood, but as they
are known no suspicion rests upo1

the influence of the English banks
action. The per cent rate OF the
Bank of England has no parallel since
the crisis Of 1873. although the rate
that year went as high as 9. In the
case of 4 per cent of the Bank OF
France, it seems not to have been
touched before since the Franco
Prussian war period. The decline Of

this was most marked in the fall OF
the premium which is being paid for

to which the money market was af-

who looked for a prompt relaxation

explanation is found in the necessary
