ROBSON'S ASSAILANT HELD.
Negro Who Attacked Charleston
Dentist Caught.

Washington, March 10.-The ne
gro who assaulted DR.. Robson, a
member of the German Fusiliers, of
Charleston, at Harveys restaurant
here last week, has been captured at
Charlottesville, Va, and brought to
Washington tonight. DR.. Robson
left tonight for Charleston in COM
pany with DR.. Lamb, of the hospital
staff.
It will be recalled that the mana
gers of Harvey's restaurant shielded
this negro and spirited him away, so
that the authorities could not get at
him. Representative Aiken, who is
the only South Carolina congressman
here this week, has been assisting
the police authorities in seeking the
negro. Mr.. Aiken was to-day in
formed by Capt. Broadman, of the
city police, that the negro was
caught at Richmond yesterday, but
that he escaped, going on to Char
lottesville, where he was again
caught to-day and is now in charge
of the Washington police. Messrs.
Douglas and Banter, attorneys here,
both South Carolinians, have been
engaged to prosecute the negro for
assault and to sue Harvey's restaur-
ant for damages.

sCAREs FOXES TO GET PELTs.
This Man Frightens Reynard Until
His Hair Turns White.

A dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American from "Skinnem,' -
Pa, says: One of the rarest of fur
bearing animals is the silver gray
fox, whose skin is worth from 5000
to $500. That it was possible to
artifcially produce silver gray fox
skin was not thought within the
range of mans ingenuity until this
winter. NJ. F. Murphy, late of STAN
ford, Conn.,, has shown that it can
be done.
He simply takes a fox of ordinary
breed and average intelligence and
places it in an enclosure with a muz-
zled hound dog. The hound pursues
