ATTEMPTED ASSAULT.
Young White Man Arrested on Seri-
GUS Charge.

Sunday Constable George Wolf
brought to Aiken and lodged in the
county Jail, Patrick Cain, of Augusta,
charged with an attempted criminal
assault upon a young lady Of North
Augusta, Sunday morning.
From information gathered from
several sources it seems that Cain
had known the young lady for few
days only. She lived in North Au-
gusta and Sunday Cain came across
the bridge and invited her to take a
little stroll with him. She consented
and they started out, going towards
the country. On reaching a little
thicket, it is charged Cain made i'm
proper proposals to the young. lady
and attempted to overcome her by
his superior strength. She resisted
with all her strength and screamed
for help. She succeeded in getting
loose from her assailant and ran
towards the home of Constable
Wolfe. Not finding him at home
she continued to Augusta and told
her story to the first policeman.
Cain was found on the Augusta side
of the river and ARRESTED, offering no
resistance.
On being interviewed at the coun-
~ jail, he said that he had no state
ment to make, other than that he
was entirely innocent, that If he
could not prove it at the preliminary
that he had no doubt of the outcome
if it came to a trial. He admits be-
ing with the girl, but denies having
wronged her.-Aiken Journal and
Review.

Makes Serious Charge.

Fraud by the use OF liquor and
money in securing votes in the recent
election held in the new county Of
Dillon is, charged In a:letter received
by Attorney General Lyon from a
citizen Of that county. The letter
says:
eve have just had our first elec-
ton in Dillon county, and while we
had hoped that it would be clean
one, regret to say that it was one Of
the dirtiest 1 know of, and there are
few things that came up that l
would likesto have your advice on.
l have been reliably Informed that
at several of the precincts both liquor
and money were used FREELY. In fact, l
have understood thatatoneof the pre-
cincts two parties were arrested and
were used freely. In fact, l have
understood that at one of the pre-
cincts two paries were arrested and
have made,sworn afidavits that they
were given liquor and money. One
of the parties states that he knows
of several voters treated as he was.
1 have understood further, that men
were carried to the polls so drunk
that it was necessary for them to be
bodily supported. Would not a con-
dition like this not only lay the par
ties liable to prosecution, but throw
out the poll? Another case brought
to my attention is this: One of the
cotton mills here has voting pre-
cinct and the voters are controlled
entirely by the president and the
superintendent. In fact, I have un-
derstood, and am free to say that l
believe it, that if the operatives re-
fuse to vote as the president and su-
perintendent directs, they are
promptly dismissed.
"This same precinct counted the
votes with closed doors and would
not make known the result until Ger
tain other results had been announced
These are conditions that exist here
and if it is possible to not only throw
out those polls what were so rotten,
but bring the guilty parties to JUS
tice, I shall be glad to advise the
course Of procedure.
Attorney General Lyon has taken
the contents of the letter under con-
sideration and will make thorough
Observation-Disclosures State.

MURDERED AFTER PREACHING.
Mission Worker Shot Down on Leav-
ing Church.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 10.-A ser
mon on martyrdom in which Frank
Skala, an editor. and prominent mis-
sion worker, had declared himself
willing to lay down his life for the
Cristian cause, was followed to-day
by his assassination in a highly SEN
sational manner and the shooting
down of'a fellow church leader, John
Gay.
Arm-in-arm the two missionaries
were leaving the little congregational
church in Woods Run, a suburb, at
the head of more than 100 foreign
ers. A raggedly dressed and collar
less man poked his way through the
crowd and when he was but step
behind the leaders, he pressed re-
volver to Skala's side and fired twice,
Skala falling dead. Gay, who threw
up his right hand as if to ward off
the weapon, was struck first in the
thumb and then a second bullet was
buried in his head. He fell uncon-
scious across the body of his colleague
For a moment-for several mo-
ments-the assassin stood over his
prey in amazed contemplation of the
deed, fourishing his revolver, while
the panic stricken crowd fed to shell
ter behind posts and doorways.
The madman was Jian. Radowitch,
a character known to most of the
mission for his shiftless habits, SLOW
enly dress and radical opinions. A
moment before he had meekly read
juvenile leaflets in the Sunday school
led by Skala. Previously he had sat
in a back pew of the church during
the regular sermon and at the COM
mencement services Skala had shaken
his hand in greeting. In all this
Radowitch had given no warning of
his murderous intention.
Assassin Escapes.
There was no policeman in sight
when the murder was done, the
church people were too terrified to
grab the assassin, and after flourish
ing his weapon and stamping his foot
on the bodies he made off from the
avenue to the Fort Wayne railroad
tracks and disappeared.
A large armed posse of police, de-
tectives and church people was soon
in pursuit, but up to late hour to-
night they had found no trace of him.
After the madman's disappearance
the mission crowd reassembled about
their fallen leader and .passionately
mourned their loss. Skala's body was
removed to an undertaker's room and
Gay was taken to st. Johns hospital.
His wound is dangerous one but 1t
is believed he will recover.
Mission Worker and Editor.
=, Skala was prominent as mission
worker and as editor of The Bo-
hemian Christian Journal, which he
and the Rev.. James Louis published
at Corapolis.
He was a Presbyterian but had
filled the pulpit at the Congregational
mission house as a substitute to-day,
as he had often done before. :
The Rev. Mr.. Rosa was summoned
to the undertaking rooms soon after
the tragedy, and in great emotion he
made discourse over the body while
a hundred persons wept.
Radowitch was a man who had
lived at the Salvation Army barracks
and as charitable parasite, else
where, but it is doubtful if he had
ever seen Skala before.
Skala had taken for his text, II am
bread of life" and had preached
upon the old-time martyrs.

GRATEFUL CHINAMEN.

One OF the Chinaman's most engag

gratitude, which is not merely person.
al, but racial, So, at least, the Rt Rev.
John Sheepshanks says in his book, A
Bishop in the Rough" In 1860 he was
young missionary stationed at Fort
Hope, British Columbia, and he came
much in contact with Cinnamon.
On board the river steamboat there
was a Chinaman with whom ! con
versed, and who was much astonlshed
at my Acquaintance with the religions
OF China, and inquired my name II
appears that he mentioned the circum-
stance TO his fellow countryman with
whom he was to lodge, and it happened
that this man had been for a few
months at New Westminster, and
had taught him to read. So he set TO
work TO find out where I was staying,
and presently brought me an offering
OF a very handsome purse and a brace
let Of sandalwood. Right glad he was
TO see me, and we shook hands and
nodded and grinned at each other
heartily.
The next day I called upon him at
his store, and he served up refresh
ments for me. The Cinnamon are not
only personally grateful for benefits or
kindness received, but they have a
racial gratitude. Because / did my
best to teach a few Cinnamon at New
Westminster, and was Of course cour-
teous and kind to them, l was always
most kindly and Hospitality received
by Cinnamon throughout the colony.
When / visited Victoria I was well
coined by Chinese storekeepers there,
and invited to partake of refreshments
wherever ! called.

In the book of Job appears the SEN
tence, Il am escaped with the skin
of my teeth" which is modernized by
the skin Of my teeth and gives the
idea of narrow escape, one so close
as to be just by the thickness of the
skin on the teeth, which is so thin
that no microscopist has yet been able
to find it. ITO cast in the teeth
means to throw defiant reproaches or
insults spitefully, as one would cast
a stone at the exposed teeth of snarl-
ing dog. Tooth and nail'' denotes the

Meyerbeer, like Handel, composed
best in a thunderstorm. He had a
room made at the top of his house
with glass roof and sides, so that he
might enjoy these conditions to the
full whenever they presented tLem-
selves. 1t is said that no beast Of the
field, no raven or nightjar, could scent
the approach of a storm more uner-
ringly than Meyerbeer, and nothing
was allowed to interfere with his soli-
tary enjoyment Of it when it arrived.
