About 8:1". Saturday night while re turning from her work in the Hotel Lowry where she was employed ia the hotel kitchen. Lizzie Kreitzer. aged 23 years, daughter of Anthony Kreitzer who lives beyond the toll gate on the Plank road, was knocked down by a negro, beaten insensible, thrown over a fence and down a six-foot embankment into Mrs Mary Muntz's garden, where an unsnccessflfl attempt was made to Outrage her. Her nose was broken and a gash in which two fingers could be laid was cut in her head above the right temple The assault was made within fifty yards of the Muntz home and in the bright glare of an arc light located on the old Pittsburg pike just west of the Hospital. It is supposed a passer-by frightened Lizzie's assailant away be fore he accomplished his hellish work. •Vfter laying unconsious for about an hour and bleeding profusely the girl partiy revived, crawled up the bank and through the fence, staggered a huudred yards toward home and again sank down unconscious. One man passed her on her short walk but said he thought she was only drunk. When she fell in the roadway, Newton Pol lock saw her and with Joseph Manny and Joseph Lavery got her into the buggy of a man named Rowan,who was driving home from Butler and had her taken home. When found she murmer ed ' the negro cook strucK me" and the name "Howard.'' Dr. Sell tiltis was called and dressed her wonnds, which seemed very likely tc prove fatal, as Lizzie did not become conscious again until Sunday night. On Monday she seemed perfectly rational but could remember nothing of the at tack on her and could not describe the man. The affair did not become gener ally known in town until Sunday. A short time before the attack on Liz lie, Saturday night, a negro stopped Mrs. Joseph Lavery, who lives on Coal street, peered intently into her face and then passed on. Mr Lavery saw the same man while walking home a few minutes later. Andy Root also saw him and two little daughters of Henry Leidecker saw him walking on the Plank road near their home. All de scribe him as short and heavy set, with a slouch hat pulled down over his eyes, dark clothes and a heavy cane or stick in his hand. Neighlwrs of the Kreitzers hunted the neighborhood until mid night. From Lizzie s remark on being found, suspicion rested on the Hotel Lowry a chef. Richardson, and her father and some neighbors went before Justice Keck, Saturday night and made infor mation against him. but Proprietor Weisburg. arid Clerk Louis Rockenstem swore Ri' hardson was busy about the Hotel all evening and would answer for his appearance when wanted. Three porters, Thomas Hopper, Robert Powell and Walter Washington are employed at the Hotel They were arrested but ncthing could be shown to implicate them and they were released. Mr. Weisburg said he wonld give SSO to help apprehend the criminal. Mr. Kreitzer offered the same. REWARD OK S4OO. Monday morning the County Commis sioner's offered a reward of S4OO for the arrest and conviction of Miss Kreitzer's assailant. It was learned that a negro named Henry had fled from town on hearing of the arrests Sunday. Tuesday morning County Detective McMarlin arrested a negro named J. M. Wood while at work at Alameda Park. Wood boarded with Mrs. Wat ters on West DSt. District Attorney Painter does not wish to make known the exact nature of their evidence against him, but said he had been act ing suspiciously and they had ample proof on which to hold him for court. That evening Detective A. Allen ar rested two young negroes, one of whom he feels sure is guilty of the assault. Their names are Perry Baker, a former porter at the Hotel Lowry. and Abra ham Lincoln Miller, whose home is in Pnnxsutawney. They boarded with Mrs. Williams, a colored woman living on Etna St. Allen was suspicions of Miller and hired him to work up the case. Miller'accused Baker, saying they were drinking together Saturday night at the Hotel Butler and that Bak er told him he was going to attack Miss Kreitzer. Baker declares himself in nocent and accuses Miller. The latter answers closely to the description given of the negro seen on the road before the assault and there are other strong points against him PROPERTY TRANSFERS. W. J. Li:.k to Susan A.

The Citizen at Atlantic City. For the convenience of our readers who may visit Atlantic City this summer we have arranged to have the latest is sues of the CITIZEN always on file at the Philadelphia Inquirer's Seashore Bureau, on Young's Pier. You probably think we're joking when we speak of the advance in price on most all lines of furniture. The Iron Bed people advanced 10 per cent a few days ago. Bed Room suits have advanced 10 per cent. The tendency is upwards in manufacturers' price all around. Take advantage of prices next 30 days at Brown & Cos. on all lines of Furniture. Our old prices will prevail for a short time only. A Will to be Contested. On Friday the will of Mrs. Mary F. I Shirley, deed. of. the Park Hotel was ' probated and letters testamentary were granted to Theodore H. B. Humes. Mr. Hnines was also named as an ex ecutor in the will but renounced in favor of her husband. The same day Joseph P. Shirley, husband of the deceased, through Col. Thompson. gave notice to Recorder Adams that he ignored the will alto gether and refused to take under its provisions. The will had been written June 26 by Attorney H. L. Graham and was witnessed bv Mr. Graham and A. M. Campbell, clerk at the Hotel In It Mrs. Shirley gave her husband $5 and left all her personal estate and the Park Hotel property, title to which was in her name, to the adopted daughter Mary Gladys Shirley, a little girl of three vears. Miss Lavina McKinnej of PiquaO.. sister of the deceased, was named as the child's guardian. The will will probably not stand the test of law, as a husband cannot be de prived of his curtsey, just as a wife cannot l>e deprived of dower, but the amount he can obtain from the estate is materially lessened. If Mrs Shirley had died intestate, her personal property would have been divided equally be tween her adopted daughter and Mr. S. and the latter wonld have the use or rents issue and profits of the real estate for life. Under the Act of 1853 the husband can elect to take as against his wife's will the same interest as a wife can as against her husband's will ex cepting the S3OO exemption or he can take only her real estate by curtesy. This enables Mr. Shirley tc take one third of the personal estate absolutely and one third interest in the real estate for life or be can let the personal estate go and have the whole use of the hotel for life, the title finally going to the little adopted daughter. Mr. - Shirley lias signed an agreement to have the license transferred to Mr. Humes, the executor. CHURCH NOTES. Rev. Dr. Alexander Gilghrist ad dressed a union meeting in the U. P. church.

Miller, in preaching the funeral sermon of ex-Congressman Martin, a native of Prospect, this county, created a sensa ion by criticizing Mr. Martin's private life. Among other things Mr. Miller said that he had been born and reared in a Christian home, bnt left that home and its teachings at the age of 12 and entered the army to serve his country. "It would have been far better," said Mr. Miller, "if Mr. Martin had been shot on the field of battle than to have lived to lead the life he did. He was in public office the better portion of his life and made in one office SIOO,OOO, but was sent home for burial in a cheap pine coffin furnished by the government." OIL NOTES.
