What Ho Sees anil Hears During Ilia Travels. Tho muddy condition of the streets has resurrected a number of puns and ono can hardly cross any of them without having one of tho chestnuts hurled at him. Gcorgo Schmlpf, of I'ottsville, was in town yesterday and in company with Deputy Coroner Brcnnan went to Delano to inspect tho boiler of tho cngino that exploded near tho red bridge last week and killed Engineer Barry. Tho Inquest is dolayed by reason of Conductor Eroh being confined to his bed. His hip was dislocated in tho accident and ho will not bo able to go about for somo time. There aro somo pcoplo in town who think tho School Iloatd has not acted wisely in deciding to have no exhibit in tho public school department of tho World's Fair. They claim that an exhibit from this section would ho interesting from tho mere fact that it would show what tho children of tho an thracito flaldfl of l'l-nnsvlvmila nrn dnlni' In tho public schools. This opinion is shared by many and it is not an insignificant ono. Our schools could send exhibits that would com pare very favorably with somo work douo in tho schools of larger places. One of tho end men at tho thoatro last night made our muddy streets the butt of a joko and put in a good word for street paving. His remarks provoked moro applause than laughtor and tho miuttrol evidently realized that ho hud struck a popular chord. Ode. 1'KltSONAL. Prof. Theodore, the piano tuner, is in town W. W.

ATTAGKED ON A LONELY ROAD Tho Younp; Lady'B Escort Was Badly Bruised Timoly Arrival of Two Minors, but tho Assailant Escapos. YOUNG lady named Morris, residing at llos ton Run, was a victim of an atrocious assault while on her way homo from this town on Wed ncsday night. Miss Morris camo hero in tho afternoon accompanied by a male acquaint- anco and visited Ferguson's theatre. There was no means by which tho couple could re turn to their homes by rail and thoy con cluded to walk. Tho route taken was down South Main street aud out tho Pennsylvania railroad and along a path on tho hill south of tho Shenandoah City colliery strlpplngs. Tho road is a very lonesome one, but as tho couplo wcro well acquainted with it they had no fears. MlssMorrisand horoscort wcro walking at a pretty lively paeo and had well ascended the path that leads over tho hill when a man stepped from behind a stump they had just passed and exclaimed, "Hold on a minute !' Tho girl became frightened and hurried on, and her escort stopped to encounter tho stranger and givo his charge a chanco to get away. "What tirno is it?" tho stranger asked as ho approached. .Tho young man said ho had no watch. "Who is that fellow with you ?" was the next question, and fear Ing that some ono was approaching him from behind the young lady's escort turned to look. At tho same moment tho stranger jumped forward and struck him with somo uuknown instrument ho carried in his hand Tho blow was intended for tho head, hut foil short and struck tho young man with con siderablc forco on tho left shoulder. Realizing the stranger's intentions thu escort grappled with him and the young lady who had meanwhile retraced- her steps scrouraed for help. Two Polish minora who were on their way to town from work, heard the screams aud run ovor the brow of tho hill, but before they could givo any assistance tho stranger broke away and ran down towards the strippings. Ho is described as being a stoutly built fellow of about 35 years of age aud drossed very much after tho fashion of a tramp. Miss Morris and her ecort continued their journoy without further molestation. Tho latter had a pretty badly bruised shoulder which was struck seveial times by tho stran ger riming tho struggle Tho friends of tho couplo say that tho stranger's intentions no doubt wcro to frjgi,tcncj 0r tl, oscort and subject tho ,UUUK "olnan 10 n"'K'c. ta gentleman a Heuald reporter conversed with last night baid that from what ho gleaned yetsterday ho had formed another oplnlou, Ho says that tho oscort the young lady had Is objection- ... , , , , able to somo of her fr auds and that tho 'stranger" might havo been one of these friends iu disguUo who wanted to wreak 1 vengeanco.
