This Happened in Connecticut-
A dispatch fr- m Bridgeport Conn ,
under date of th- 13. h, says:
' William Morrison, the b irly negro
who fiendishly assmi'ied Mrs. Marga
rei Roberts, an aged white woman of
Stratford, a neighb ring town, is lock
ed up here. The jail is surrounded by
an aimed guard and within is a force
of jiilets, heavily aimed
“Morrison w>s captured in the
woods seven miles out from this city
by Sheriff S’agg and three constables,
who surprised him while asleep be
neath a tree.
“Mrs Roberts was forbidden by her
physician to leave her bed, but on
hearing of the capture of Morrison she
insisted upon seeing him. When
brought to the cell door she exclaim
ed :
‘“That’s the man. That's him! Oh,
my God, if I only were a man. Will
some one loan me a revolver?’
"Morrison shrank away from the
gaze of his victim and begged the of
ficers to take her away.
“Meantime the crowd outside the
jail was howling for vengeance and
far into the bight they kept up the
shouting for swift punishment, the
mob being augmented hourly by ar
rivals of indignant farmers from the
neighboring towns.”

He Knew How to Take It.
Here is a atory which is vouched for
by a local Standard Oil official, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It con
cerns a certain superintendent who
was sent up to the company’s works at
Whiting, to oversee matters. One
morning as he was strolling about
with bis eyes open he discovered an
Irishman laying pipe in the customary
excavation. The superintendent is a
very irrascible man. In addition to
this, he has a wonderful command of
sulphurious language. Something
about the man’s work displeased him,
and he suddenly opened up,or, rather,
down, on the poor fellow in bis heav
iest artillery. But, though he con
demned him to perdition in a dozen
diffeient ways, the man in the ditch
never so much as looked up. If be
had been deaf and dumb he couldn’t
have taken his roasting more stolidly.
The superintendent suddenly pulled
up in his wild tirade.
"See here, my man,” he roared,
“don’t you know I’m giving you hell?”
The pipe layer paused. Slightly
turning his head he squinted up at
i the superintendent.
"An' ain't I takin’ it like a little
i mon?” he asked quietly,

His Mistake-
Few women outside of royal person,
ages ever ask the hand of a man in
marriage. Perhaps ouj one ha» had
the experience of being rejected by a
man without having proposed to him.
That there was one is evident from
the published memoir of Dr. Jowett of
Oxford. The master of Balli h’s per
sonality was potent, and good women
felt its fascination. An undergraduate
was ill in college, and his sister, coma
ing to Oxford to nurse him, was in
vited by Dr. Jowett to stop at his house,
She received from him the utmost
kindness and attention, and when
leaving said, with much hesitation,
that abe would venture to ask a very
great favor. She again hesitated. The
master grew uneasy and looked inter
rogative.
‘Will you marry me?’ at last the
asked.
‘That would not bo O ood eithrr for
you or me.’
‘Oh, oh,’ exclitned the young woman,
blushing even more deeply. 'I meant
to say I am going to be married, and
would you perform the service?'

Sam Hose, there were five aggravated

last week in Georgia One of the vic
