P. POWELL, P. M.
Street Commissioner NORTH HUP is making
some marked improvements on State r-trcet.
A letter from Watertown, N. Y., lo tlie
Philadelphia Times, dated July 30, gives fur
ther particulars of the fiendish assault upon
Mrs. BULL. The limes correspondent falls
into the same blunder that other newspaper
writers have in confounding the names of
cx-Scntor PLATT of New York with that of
the Senator bearing the same name from the
state of Connecticut. The following is the
letter:
The particulars of the brutal outrage upon
Mrs. George Bull, of Philadelphia, are now
known. The assault was committed on Tues
day. by Charles Parker, a North Woods guide,
at Buttermilk Carry, between Forked and
Long Lakes. At the" North liiyer Hotel Mrs.
Bull malic the acquaintance of W. F. llall and
and wife, of New York city, while she was
en route for ex-Senator Piatt's camp at Long
Lake. They accompanied her to Blue Moun
tain Lake." Upon their arrival there they
found that Mrs. Bull's trunk had been left
behind. 'They all waited over one day for the
missing trunk, aud as it did not arrive Mr.
and Mrs. llall proceeded on their journey,
leaving Mrs, Bull to follow the next day.—
Mrs. Bull, accompanied by Charles Parker
as guide(wlio had been pointed out as a safe,
reliable man), proceeded on her way to the
camp of ex-Senator Piatt. It was while
crossing the last carry, between Forked Lake
and Long Lake, that the heinous crime was
committed, While crossing the lake after
leaving the carry the villian extorted a prom
ise of silence from the lady under threats of
drowning.
Upon arriving at the camp she was met on
the shore by her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Jlall
and others.)" Mr. Hall states that the ladies
of the party, already in camp, not having been
so promptly apprised of the coming of Mrs.
Bull, were behind Mr. Hall in reaching the
shore of the lake where the guide was land
ing. Oil reaching the shore Mr. llall at once
saw there was trouble from the appearance
of the lady, who upon stepping ashore and
seeing her friends, had an attack of hysteria.
As the guide attempted to push off his boat
Mr. Hall seized it by the bow; at the same
time he grasped an oar and ordered Parker to
keep quiet. He then called on the guides of
ex-Senator Piatt to come to his assistance. —
None of them at the time really knew what
was the trouble, but Mr. llall instinctively
felt that something had gone wrong. Mrs.
Piatt and Mrs Hall were in the meantime en
deavoring to restore Mrs. Bull to conscious
ness. while Mr. Hall and the Senator ordered
the other guides, three in number, at the
i amp, to detain Parker until the matter could
be investigated.
During the confusion, however, Parker
jumped ashore and escaped into the woods.
The alarm was promptly spread, but owing
to the limited number of available men and
the distance from the different avenues of es
cape, Parker reached hi- own camp, secured
his rille and had about two hours' start of his
pursuers. Parker went to Lowville, Lewis
county, where he took the train for this city
and arrived here Wednesday night. The next
morning he hoarded the train for Cape Yin
cent and by noon was in Canada, outside of
our officers' reach. Two of them left for
there Thursday and after much trouble re
turned here last evening with the fiend. He
is now in jail and officers and a son of Mr.
i'latt are exspected in this city this evening,
lie admits ho is the guide, but denies the
crime. He will no doubt be severely dealt
with. Mrs. Bull remains at Mr. Piatt's camp.
