Incitement Over tho Afl'nlr.
New York, Aug. 81. "Holpl Help!
Bavo me I" screamed one of the slstors in
tho little convent building on Harrison
placo, Williamsburg, early this morning.
Tho shrieks of tho ninotecn-ycnr-old
nun aroused tho other five sistors and tho
Mother Superior, who, with eight orphans,
were tho occupants of tho convent build
ing. At once all was confusion find terror.
In the darkness no ona could tell what
the matter was, until tho Mother Superior
struck a match and lighted tho hall gas,
whero by that time all tho nuns had as
sembled. Then it was seen that nn intruder was
nttneking nil tho sisters in turn, smother
ing them with forced caresses. All
shrieked and as fast as they could es
caped from the clutches of the monster
nnd ran down to tho lower floor, whero
the eight little waifs slept.
The children added their screnm to
those of tho nffrightcned nuns who hnd
been so ruthlessly insulted, but tho nt
tncks of tho bruto did not cense, nnd he
followed tho seven women to tho lower
floor.
Tho Mother Superior flung open ono of
the windows looking townrd the rectory
occupied by Rev. Father John Fentgrnf,
tho pastor of tho parish, nnd shouted for
help. There was no response, and the
unprotected sisters were nt the mercy of
the insntinte fiend in human shapo.
The Mother Superior was in despair,
but catching up some missals threw them
with nil her strengtli nt tho fence which
sepnrntcd the lnwn from tho clergyman's
houso. In a few moments that scorned
like hours, the Rev. Father Fentgrnf ap
penred nt the window of his bedroom on
the second floor of the pnrochinl residence.
He got a revolver nnd fired a shot in tho
air, which in a few minutes afterwards
brought to tho scone many of tho neigh
boring rosidents.
Tho miscreant meantime inside tho con
vent had continued his attacks, but dis
appeared at tho sound of tho pistol as
suddenly as he hnd come, nnd by tho
same means, by jumping through n kit
chen window nnd scaling two fences nt
tho bnck of the convent building, getting
into Ingrnhnm street, which has but few
residences.
Tho man escaped, nnd although the po
lice were nt once notified, no clew so fnr
ha3 been obtnined to tho marauder.
The convent is a branch of the Convent
of tho Dominican Sisters, corner of Gra
ham and Montroso avenues, and is at
tached to tho Church of Our Mother of
Sorrows, which stands directly on tho
corner of Morgan nvemto and Harrison
place. The convent is on Harrison place,
and tho roctory stands on Morgan avenue,
the church Intervening between tlio con
ent and the parochial residence.

Creditors.
Philadelphia, Aug. 31. The an
nouncement is mnde that the creditors of
the Choctaw Railway Company have
readied an understanding and that tho
affairs of tho company are now In a very
satisfactory condition.
Tho Choctaw Company got Into trouble
somo time ago and two receivers were ap
pointed -Francis I. Cowan, representing
tho Philadelphia creditor, and Edwin
D. Chadwlck of Indian Territory, repre
senting tho creditors in that section. Xtr.
Chadwlck was the active receiver, and
his management of tho property was not
satisfactory to the Philadelphia creditors,
who n short time ago began proceedings
looking to his removal fromolnce.
Mr. Chadwick's friends insisted that
his management was in every way satis
factory and for tho best interests of nil
tho creditors, but the Phllndolphia people
insisted upon a chnnge, nnd a few weeks
ago they held a meeting, the result of
which was the appointment of a com
mittee of two with instructions to ad
Just, if possible, tho affairs of the Com
pany. A dispatch has been received from Efllng
hnm Morris, president of tho GIrnrd Life
Insurance, Annuity nnd Trust company,
who is now in Indian Territory, stating
that a satisfactory agreement between
the contending parties has been mado
nnd that tho Choctaw company will
soon bo restored to its former standlnir.
It is learned that Mr. Chadwick's removal
will not be insisted upon, but that tho
two receivers will hereafter work in
harmony.
PROVED A FAILURE.
Letter Hoxes 'on Street Cars Will be
Withdrawn. .
Washington, Aug. 81. It is now
likely that tho Postofflce Department
will abandon Postmnstcr-Genernl Wnna
maker's plan of putting letter boxes on
street cars In the largo cities. The plan
was tried in soveral cities, and wns on-
posed by the labor people nnd those who
aro running streot enrs on Sunday.
Tho lnbor people opposed the schemo
because they thought it would reduce tho
number of letter carriers, nnd thoso oo-
posod to Sunday railroad traffic mado it
an issue to prohibit tho running of street
cars, claiming thnt tho chnrters of street
railways give them tho right to carry
passengers only.
Tho matter has not been entirely aban
doned by the Department, but in view of
tho opposition it has met with it is
thought that it will soon be dropped.

been effected. His creditors and those ol
his brother's, Albert F Plummer, hnve
fully dlsdmrged thorn from nil claims,

claims against William S. Darling, of the

against the assigned estate by relatives) of
tho Messrs. Plummer, including the

A Itald on a rarmcrs' Property All floods

The Cause of tho Attroclous Acts ii
Mystery.
Burlington, N. J., Aug. 81. For some
time past the residents of Sprlngslde, n
suburban village, have been subjected to
brutal atrocities and vandalism, and
their most strenuous efforts to discover
the Identity of tho perpetrators have been
futile.
A few mornings ngo J. Frank Antrim,
a prominent fanner went to his stable
and found blood dripping from the head
of his favorite horse. Ho found that ono
eyelid had been almost severed and hung
only by n tiny fibre. Dr. Fenlmoro
sewed tho severed flesh In placo and tho
horse uegnn to recover.
On going to tho stnble, ns usual, yester
day mornidg, Mr. Antrim was astounded
to find that the other eyelid of tho injured
horBe had been cut in a manner precisely
Blmllnr to the first. Dr. Fenlmore sewed
on the other eyelid.
This morning Mr. Antrim found tho
hammocks on his lawn cut into pieces nnd
other evidence of vnndallsm thnt he is
unablo to account for. Antrim i3 a quiet,
gentlemanly nnd good nntured fnrmcr
and friendly with all, and the cause for
tho ntrocious acts is to him and all others
inapplicable.
George Rlgg, Jr., nnothor prominent
farmer and a neighbor to Antrim, hns
suffered much from probably tho same
vandals. His fences have been torn
down, trees destroyed nnd chicken coops
uepopuiateu. These aro only two in
stances of tho mnny that havo occurred,
and at present thero Is no apparent pro
ventive.

vlon that it shall remain in forco a year
after tho reception of the notico to term

Tho reason given by Ecundor for this
action is her desire to conclude new trea
ties more in conformity with those which
she tins recently mado with other powers,
Tho Veneziiellan Treaty.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 81. It is
stntod on good authority that tho report
ed rejection by the Government of Vene
zuela of tho reciprocity treaty with tho
United States was a mistake. The treaty
has not been rejected, but tho Govern
ment of Venezuela sends it back, asking
tuat certain moaincations no made, for
tho reason that tho concessions contem
plated will decrease the national revenues
at least 83 per cent., which is moro than
the government can afford. They aro
willing to concedo about one-half tho re
duction asked for and the negotiations
will be renewed.

IS CHEAPER than nny other dressing
ot any price, be it 5 ccnt, 10 cents, or
25 cents, you can convince yourself by
wearing one shoe dressed with Acme
Blacking and the other shoe dressed
with whatever happens to be your
fjvoritc dressing. While Acme Black
ing will endure a month throttgh snenv
cr rain, and can, if the shoe is soiled,
be washed clean, the other dressing will
not last a single day in wet weather.
Your shoes will look better, last
longer nnd be more comfortable if
dressed with Wolff's Acme Blacking.

Josopla 23 cull,
Nearly every pattern of Horse
Blanket is imitated in color and
style. In most cases the imitation
looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't the warp threads, and
so lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu
ine it isn't worth one-half as much.
The fact that A Horse Blankets
are copied is strong evidence
that they are THE STANDARD,
and every buyer should see that
the trade mark is sewed on
the inside of the Blanke.
Five Mllo
Boss
Electric
Extra Teat
