IN WAY TO CONFES2IGI
GIRLS ARE ATTACKED
Misses Rose Meath and Lii
lian O'Rourke of Bridge
port Set Upon by IN
known Man.

Bridgeport, Aug. 15.-Held up in the
very shadow Of St Marys church on
Pembroke street by a strange man
supposed to be a foreigner, two young
girls on their way to confession last
night were badly frightened, and that
they were not attacked is due largely
to the fact that several other parish
ierers happened along OPPORTUNITY and
frightened the miscreant away.
The girls who met with the adven-
ture are Miss Rose Meath of 278 Penn
broke street and Miss Lillian O'Rourle,
daughter of James II. O'Rourke, the
baseball manager, who lives at 274
Pembroke street. The outrage was
perpetrated on a well-populated thor
oughfare and before s o'clock, while
the streets were crowded and well
lighted
Miss Meath and Miss ORourke
were walking along Pembroke street
4 from their homes on their way to the
church. To-day, the Feast of the As
sumption, was holiday of obligation,
/ and confessions were heard at the
| church last night. Arriving near the
/ intersection of Pembroke and Steuben
streets, and almost opposite the resi-
dence of Father Murphy, pastor of st.
| Mary's, the girls We're stopped by a
man who stepped out OF a shadow
| The fellow grabbed one of the girls
| by the arm. Too badly frightened to
speak for an instant, the girls quickly
recovered their nerve and, crying out,
broke away from their captor They
ran a short distance down the street,
where they met some women friends
who were on their way to the church
Thus reinforced, the girls retraced
/ their steps to the point where they
were attacked, but the would-be as
sailant had made good his escape.
A block or so distant on cross
street the young women saw man
whom they thought resembled the
miscreant, but he quickly disappear
ed in the darkness. This incident,
coupled with one or two others Of a
similar nature which have occurred
in this city recently, would indicate
that the wave of crime against young
girls have spread to Bridgeport from
New York. Residents Of sections Dor
dering on territory occupied by for
eigners are beginning to believe it is
hardly safe for young girls to venture
upon the streets at night unprotected.
The police do all In their power to
check outrages q this kind and only
the other day a young italian who at
tackled several girls ~ a band concert
was arrested and summarily dealt
i with, Fiends of this sort, however,
usually choose spot where there are
! few policemen on duty at the time
and manage to get away without be-
ing identified.

to the Congressman he smiled.

Captures Coveted Trophy in
the New York Yacht
Club Races Off
Newport.
DEFEATS BOTH THE
QUEEN AND INGOMAR
Overhauls Both Her Rivals
in the Run When Queen
Seems Certain
Winner.

Newport, r. l., Aug 15.-The race
of sloops and schooners of the New
York Yacht club for the Aston cups,
which has been f1xutre of the club
for more than a quarter of century,
was won to-day under ideal conditions
of wind and weather by the Elmina,
owned by Frederick F. Brewster,
which took the schooner cup, and by
the Avenger, owned by Robert w
Emmons I'd, which won the cup for
sloops.
The Elmina crossed the finish line at
4:5S:3S, her elapsed time for the thir-
ty-eight mile course being 5 hours 26
minutes 33 seconds, and her corrected
time, 5:24:93.
She defeated the Queen by one min
ute and 16 seconds and the Ingomar
by min. SO sec. The big schooners
gave the little Verona large allow
ance but she was miles away when
they finished and could not cover the
distance in time to win. She was
beaten, however, only 20 min. 81 sec.
In the race for sloops the Avenger
defeated the Winsome by min. So
sec. and the Effort by 1898, corrected
time.
1t was thought at one time that the
30-footer Nepsi would win as she was
we'll within her time when she round
ed the Block Island mark, but the
wind fell lighter after the. others had
finished and she was unable to reach
the finish line in time. She was only
beaten min. So sec.

TROLLEY UNION MAY ACCEPT.
Rurlor That Older Men in Service Will
Knock Out Plans.

h1lOCE OuU rims.
Hartford, Aug. 15.-It was reported
in trolley circles to-day that the threat
ened action on the part of number
of trolleymen, who have signified their
intention of rejecting the new wage
scale adopted by the officials of the
Consolidated Railway company and
for whose benefit President Andrew V.
Potter called a special meeting of the
trolleymens union, will not amount to
as much as 1t was at first supposed
While it is true that the meeting
will be held at 2 o'clock on Sunday
morning and that special cars will be
run over some of the lines in the out
lying district to bring in members to
the meeting, it is said that the whole
matter will fall fiat when It Is brought
up
A Hartford Post reporter attempted
to confirm the rumor to-day In con-
versation with Business Manager
Frank j. Martin, who is president of
the Central Labor union, but Mr..
Martin said that he had heard little
on the outside as to what plans had
been made for the meeting. He reit-
Grated his statement of a few days
ago that he thought the complaining
trolleymen had been ill-advised in the
matter He said that the conference
committee had done all in its power
to get better wages for the men, but
he thought that the Hartford trolley
men should be satisfied with the con-
Ecessions which the company had re-
Gently granted.
The meeting early Sunday morning
will, without doubt, be one of the larg-
est which the local union has ever held
but whether it will amount to anything
or not remains to be seen. The older
men in the service are said to be salts
fed with the new scale and the COM
plants appear to be coming from the
men who have been on the cars for but
short time. Should the complaining
men attempt to force the company to
give them higher wages 1t is said that
they will fail in their efforts.
