ASSAULTS ON FEMALES.

Accused OF trying to drag an IL year.
old girl yesterday into the cellar of 1478
Second avenue, New York, George A.
Schmidt, who lives in the house, while
under arrest, was set upon by dozen
men, who threatened to lynch him.
Two policemen had their hands full in
fighting the assailants and getting their
prisoner to the station house. The girl
made an outcry when Schmidt seized
her, and her aunt ran to her rescue aud
took hold of the assailant. The latter
dealt the woman a cruel blow, stun.
ming her.
Bonnie Holly, a delicate girl aged IA
years, the daughter of james Holly, an
! employe of the Radford Pipe Works, at
Radford, Va, was criminally assaulted
,, Saturday night. Joseph Barker, her
brother-in-law, is accused. The Holly
girl went to the home of the Barkers,
near New River, to visit her sister. Mrs.
Barker was absent, and while awaiting her
! return, it is alleged, Barker outraged the
girl. Barker was apprehended and
lodged in Jail, but feeling being so bitter
; against him he was hurried to the Pulas-
XII Jail for safe keeping.
While walking along the South Penn
Branch of the Cumberland Valley Rail-
road, about a mile from Mercersburg,
Md, yesterday, 16-year-o!d Iva Scott was
attacked by negro named VIM. Wells, of
| Chambersburg. First, he demanded her
money, and when she declined he tried
to force her TO the ground. The girl
fought of her aSssilant as best she could
| and screamed for help. Her cries are
believed to have frightened the negro,
who finally released her, and after snatch
ing her purse from the ground be ran
down the railroad tracks. He was over
taken by officers and lodged in Jail.
The recurrence of "Ripper" outrage
has caused another wave of nervous fear
and dread to break over Berlin. A
woman on opening the door of fiat
surprised man in the act of striking
down an 11-year-old girl. The woman
screamed and the man ran and succeed
ed in getting away. This occurred in the
neighborhood of the previous outrages.
The residents of that section are in such
a state nervous excitement that they fell
upon and beat fearfully harmless man
because he had offered child piece Of
candy.
la addition to the attempt on the child
yesterday and case of child mutilation
that occurred on Saturday, it has now
come out that the fourteen-year-old
daughter of a barber in the northern
quarter of the city was struck and
wounded in the arm and foot on the
staircase of her house and became un-
conscious. But her assailant must have
been interrupted, as she was not further
maltreated.
Within the past year thirty little girls
have been murdered by "Jsck the Rip
per-" Five were attacked on Saturday
aud three of these are dead.

SUICIDE OF AN ACTRESS.

The body Of Miss Laura Matthews, ot
New York and Kansas City, was found
lying in lane near Ivy Wild, Col. y,
early Yesterday, with bullet hole in her
head. Miss Ma tthews and her maid ar
rived In Colorado Springs several days
ago and had apartments at the Acacia
Hotel. Sunday evening Miss Matthews
ordered saddle horse and rode in the
direction of Ivy Wild. This was the
last seen of her alive. Peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the finding of the
body of Miss Matthews gave rise to the
belief that murder had been committed.
Miss Matthews was a well.known mu-
sicsl comedy actress, 10 years old. 1t is
said she had been engaged to q wealthy
Ohicagoan and was despondent because
of his failure to fulfill his promise of
marriage. She was the daughter of
Mrs. Jennie Matthews, of Kansas City.
She had been on the stage only q short
time and had played small parts.

been under way nearly an hour Com
missioner Bingham discovered that
| Walsh was lolling in chair. He wal

rest of the session, with his heels to
gether and his chest out as far as he
could push it.
