the ne w French town of Christoph Colomb,
and the Jamaican town of Monkey Hill. The
population of the places named is about half
that of Panama, where the mortality did not
materially exceed the above figures. The
EiatUth i of mortality cannot be folly trusted
here, but it appears evident that the

one as the Isthmus ever witneised.

rection. They go to work. There is no aeeom
modal ion obtainable except of the moat inferior
sort, and they swarm in houses closer thau
bees in hlvee, and with utter want of cleanli-

a at present a higher rate of mortality in Co*

A Jlnstnl Negro Knocks n???Voting Lady
Down With His Fist.
About eight o'olock last night a negro man
entered Mrs. Lambert???s store on Peters streot,
and after abusing Mrs. Lambert and her
daughter struck tho lottc-r in tho face with his
fist, knocking her somelcsi.
Mrs. Lambert is a widow lady, aud together
with her daughter makes a comfortable living
by handling a limited stock ot family grocer
ies. Their store is on Peters street, nt tho
corner of Leonard street, and their trade it
confined to people living in that neighbor
hood. Several months ago a negro man named
Morrison began trading with Mrs. Lambert.
He was then working by the day, end drew
his wages once a week, consequently he wav
not able to par the money every timo he made
a purchase, airs. Lambert could not afford to
8EH. nra noons 05 credit
unless she was absolutely certain that she
would get her money. This, however, was
adjusted to the satisfaction ot both parties by
tbe negro leaving his watch with Mrs. Lam
bert as a security for what he bought. Daring
the week ho would send to the store and
what he wanted, and on Saturday night a
having drawn bis pay, he would call, settle up
end get his watch. The next Monday morn
ing he would bring the watch back to Mrs.
Lambert, thereby making his credit good for
another week. This went on for some time,
but about five weeka ago the negro failed to
come in and redeem his watch. Tbe noxt
week Mrs. Lambert ascertained that the
negro had left Atlanta, but as tho watch was
worth all ho owed her. sho gave hetself no
trouble, believing that Morrison would come
lack ar.d take it up. About two weeks ago a
negro man whom Mrs. Lambert knew to bo a
friend of Morrison???s entered the store and
offered to pay what Morrison owed and take
up the wnten. At first Mrs. Lambert declined
the proposition, but finally delivered the watch
to the negro and took
ms written itKcr.trr for it.
In that receipt all of the facts were stated,and
in a few days Mrs. Lambert had dismissed
transaction from her mind. On Monday last,
however, Mrs. Lambert received a letter from
Morrison, asking her to pleaso hold the watch
lor him until the first of next month. Imme
diately after receiving this letter Mrs. Lim
ber t sent for tho negro, to whom she had de
livered the watch, aud asked him to lot her
havo it again, but the negro refused, saying
that ho would bo responsible to Morrison for
tho watch.
Day before yesterday Morrison came back
(o Atlanta, and soon after reaching the city,
got his watch from the negro man. Last night
Tlo entered Mrs. Lambert's store, and pulling
out the watch, said:
???Bee, I have got my watch back. You
wcrc???nt half so smart as you thought you
were whim you sold it.???
This remark was delivered in the most im
pertinent manner imoginablc, and wns ac
companied by very proianc language. Mrs.
Lambert and ber daughter wero afono, and
fearing that the negro meant mischief neither
ono mode any reply to. him. This at
the negro,and he began:
I???BIMI THE MOST A!U\SIVK LAXGUAOK
to the ladies. Finally Mrs. Lambert asked
him to leave the store, but the requost pro
duced more abuse.
???Well,??? said tbe young lady, ???I have heard
>u abuso mother enough, and if you don???t
ave this place this instant, I???ll call a police
man.???
If you como from behind that counter I???ll
kill you,??? the negro replied as Miss Lambert
arcro and started towards the door. His
threat, hcwevcr,did not frighten her, but tho
instant she stepped from benind tho counter,
tbe negro dealt her a terrible blow with his
fist. Tho negro's fist was as hard
iron and struck the young
lady square on the lorohoal,
knocking her senseless. This brutal piece of
work brought Mrs. Lambert to her feet, but as
she approached her daughter, who was lying
motionless on the floor, the scoundrel threw a
large rock at her which barely missed tho old
lady's head. The negro then sprang out the
door Into tho street, and picking up stones
began throwing them at the house. Mrs.
I/nmbcrt began calling for holp aud the negro
skipped out.
??? IT WAS A nARD LICK.
Tho young lady remained motionless for
J ulte a whilo, and Mrs. Lambert began to bc-
evo that she bad boon killed; but after a few
minutes of painful suspense sho detectod signs
of returning consciousness, and when Miss
Lambert opened her eyes her first words were:
'???Did heliurt you. mother????
The mother then helped her daughter to her
bed and began bathing her bruised forehead.
The negro???s blow was a most terrific one, and
In a very short time the akin turned blue and
black, while a large knot began to appear.
During tho night she suflered a groat deaf and
even yesterday complained of pains in
her head, but notwithstanding tho
E rin she was up and assisting
er mother in the store. Miss Lambert is a
young lady of about seventeen years, and is
very handsome. Sho has hair and
cyss ????? black as a raven, and has won the re
gard and respect of all who know her by her
remarkable devotion to her mother. Boon af
ter the assault upon her, intelligence was car-
1 fed/to police headquarters, and Mounted
Officer Joyner was sent out to investigate tho
ruatUr. He did not succeed in arresting tlio
negro, tut Chief Connolly has instructed tho
entire force to use every power to arrest him.
