BRITTON'S THRILLING EXPERIENCE YESTERDAY. ATTACKED BY AN UNKNOWN MAN Tho Woman Successfully Resists tho Efforts of Her Assailant Who is Frightened Off by Now Arrivals. IIS. J6IIN DUITTON, a resident of Turkey Run, hadathrilllngox pericnoe with some young unknown despe ratio yesterday. It is belloved that lind not two young men .of town made u timely ar rival upon tho sceno thu woman would liave been robbed aud, poihaps, subjected to tho greatest indignities. Mis. llritton left her heme yesterday to visit I'ottsvillo and concluded tlmt the saving of money in fare would warrant walking to Frackville to inuko connoctiou with tho train, lis tho distance to tho Lehigh dopot in town was just as far, ami sho started too lato to catch a train at tho Pcniuylvania depot. Mrs. llritton walked through Turkoy Run and then followed tho public road that loads down to Maizevillc, or "Flour Barrol," as it is commonly called. When half way down the highway the woman was suddenly con fronted by a young man who at once jumped behind her and threw ono of his hands o oi lier face in such u manner as to close her eyes :ind press liar uoso and mouth in such a manner that she could liardly breathe. Tie other arm of tho assailant was thrown about the woman's body. As stun as Mrs. Brittou realized her situa tion she summoned nil her powers, aud succeeding in getting tho rutlian's hand from her mouth scrtnmed for help. At the time John llarbeln and Richard Snyder, two young men of town, wero descending from tho top of tho hill 011 their way to Malianoy Piano. Hearing tho cries for help below thorn they whipped tip their horse. The jluglo of tho sleigh I10II3 frightened Mrs. Uritton's assailant. lie let his victim go and run up tho hill, passing the sleigh before tho occupants could grasp tho situation. As Uarbeiu and Snyder drove around a bend in tho road they saw Mrs. Britton stand ing in tho middlo of tho road, gesticulating wildly and pointing up tho hill. Tho young men in tho sleigh learned the causo of the excitement nnd diovo up the road again, but could get no trace of tho fugative. Thoy then drove down to tho place where Mrs. Britton awaited them. Upon their return tho young men took Mrs. Britton into their sleigh and drqvo on to Malzevillo. Tho woman then insisted upon continuing her journey to Frackville on foot and said sho would not return to Turkey Kun until sho could recover from tho shock and luve the compaify of friends she had at Frackville One of tho young men who went to Mrs. Britton's relief, Mr. 'Snyder, said to-day : "Tho whole affair passed off so quickly and the man ran past our sleigh so fast we barely noticed him. Ho was a stout young man, clean shaven, and about five feet, six inches high. Ho was poorly dressed aud dirty look ing. Ho woro a round, soft felt hat, loathcr boots, brown short coat fringed by wear at the bottom aud brown vest. His shirt ap poarcd to bo a bluo llannol ono and ho wore no collar or tie. Mis. Britton told us the man made repeated attempts to throw her to tho ground and almost succeeded when his. attention was attracted by tho riuging of our sleigh bells." PEKSONAI,. J. R.

All peoplo havo hobbles. Agues Herudon, who plays hero shortly, has a peculiar one, that of ordering duplicates of every pretty pair of shoes sho sees, and an exchango who sent a reporter to Interview her tho other day, relates how ho found her maid hu3y pre pining her costumes for tho evening's per formance. Tho nforesaid maid was well up in her business, and particularly in that priceless gift for a maid namely, silence when asked regardiug things which should not interest strangers. Tho maid woro a smile on her faco and had a daiuty brouzo shoe in her hand, and tho dressing room was 11 complete shoo store, a largo trunk having just been emptied. "Does Miss Herndon wear all theso in tho play to-night?" was askod. "Heaven forbid," said tho maid. "Sho only woars four pairs, and ono pair is pnrti cularly lovely. See!' And sho held up a pair a dolicato suede pink, low cut shoos. "Theso," she said, "nro made especially to suit tho pink CI reek robe." "What dooa Miss Herndon do with so many?" was askod. "Just kcep3 thorn it's her hobby." "Do you keep any of tho shoes, I moan- Aud then tho maid said "shew" and ho "shewed." Ono hundred and forty-ono pairs of shoes for ono woman at 0110 tlmo ! Now, if it had boeu bonnets well . No matter, go to Ferguson's theatre next Thursday evening and seo Miss Herndon and her great play La Hello Mario."

' The latter called upon tho Governor last evening. Hon. James B. Rollly lias refused to accept the appointment, giving as his reasons his aversion to entering into a oontost for tho judiciary.

JUDGE PERSHING CONTINUES ILL His Place on the Bench to ha Tarn pornrlly Filled by a Columbia County Judge License De cisions on Wednesday. Spcolal Herald correspondence. I'oxTsvitr.B, Feb. 27th HE usual session ofj motion court today was rnndllfitnd hv.Tmlirn Beclitel. Jiany ot tho attnrnevs pffiirphnl in 1 see President Judge Pershing on the bench, but lie did not appear. It Is reported hore that le Judge, in pursuance of the advlco of his physician, will return to Atlantic City, and that his work on tho bench will be taken up during his absence by Judge Eloliler, of Col umbia county. The succession to the late Judge Green has taken anothur turn and now It is authorita tively given out that Congressman Reilly has declined to havo his name further considered and that the race is entirely between Attor neys Weidman and Wiidlluger. Your oorre- ipondent was informed by one who is within tho circle that both moil are strongly urgod by many within the party and without and not a few close to the Governor. A petition was to-day circulated among the members of the bar by friends of Mr. Weid man, commending his appointment. This petition, guaided by a delegation of tho bar, will to-morrow speed over tho Reading road tho Stato Capital, leaving hore at 7:15 m. Messrs. Farquhar, Kaoicher, and Whalen seem to head the delegation. Mean while tho friends of Mr. Woidman's brilliant young competitor aro not napping and it would be no surprise at all to tho knowing ouoj if they would to-morrow show superior political generalship by sorely bombarding Mr. Woidman's chances. Thus it stands, but tho people of Schuylkill county can ucly ontrust their intoicsts to either gen tlemen on tho Bench, as they aro both of unquestioned ability and would, no doubt, provo wiso and impartial Judges. Judgo Bcchtcl sustained tho Auditors in tho rules taken by County Treasurer Pepper and Solicitor Minoguo against tlicm to show causo why tho judgments entered against them on tho Auditor's report should not be stricken from tho record.

Harris, 3 Fulton Market, New York City, says : T have been using Krandreth's Pills for the last fifteen years. There is nothing equal to them as Blood Purifiers and Liver Regula tors. But I wish to state how remarkably they cure rheumatism, and how easily. I was affected by rheumatism in the legs. My business (wholesale fish dealer) naturally leads ine to damp places. I oould not walk, and at night I suffered fearfully; I tried Balsams, Sarsaparillas and all kinds of tinctures, bnt they did me no gooi and I was afraid of being a cripple. I finally com menced using Braudreth's Pills. I took two every night for ten nights, then I began to Improve I continued taking tbjaui for forty days nnd I got outirely woll ' Now, when ever siok, I take Braudreth's Pills. They nover fall."

Bol&crman's Jewelry store laads as ever OBH'S OBSERVATIONS. What He Sees anil Henri During Ilia Tnivels-, The pessimist Is around again. I heard a mau say Saturday night that the absorption of the Schuylkill Traction Company by th Philadelphia syndicate was "only another of those d n eating-lip concerns and it would carry the whole town away liefore long." Bosh I If Philadelphia capitalists put their money here It will make money, and If H does the people must necessarily be benefitted by it one way or an other. I see that the bill now before the House at Harrlsburg providing for tho payment of sohool directors for services in connection with tliolr olllco has been modified bystrikinir out the part providing for pay for the tim expended by tho director hi;tttcu11ng thoir annual convention. The modification Is commendable and I hope tho bill will he completely routed even in its present form. The pay is not to exceed $8 per day, but al lowing only one day for each dlrootor it would cost $26,000 every time the County Superintendents are elected. Now, this sum may not be larg.j enough to umku a fuss about; it is liardly enongli to be much of an object or inspiration to the individual director, and certainly Is not enough to tend greatly to the securing of better men to servtt on sohool boards. Since the common school system was established its local management has been conducted by men who gave their services free, and they havo brought it up tu what it is now. To pay the directors the fall value of their services would be impossible without doubling taxation and making the office one sought too often for the emoluments rather than the good of the schools. If then- are not men enough in every school district fit to serve as directors, and public-spirited enough to serve without pay, good men are getting scarce. I!ev. Anna Shaw, who lectured In tho Presbyterian church last evening, is one of tho most onthusiastio supporters of woman's suffrage in tho country. In an address be fore the Woman's Suffrage Association In Brooklyn a few evenings since Buy. Slmw said: "Ono of tho saddest blots on the history of this great republic is the fact that it has no monuments to its women. Travorso our country from there to shore, and nowhere will you find ono block of granite erected to tho memory of American womanhood. At1 tho closo of tho lato war it was learned that 10,000 noblo women had dovoted themselves to nursing tho woundod soldiers, inspiring them witii hope and courage to continue the 3trugglo for freedom. No recognition was mndo of their labors, as the Government had no tlmo to think of its women. The negroes needed imtnediato attention. The financial resources of tho country had to bo re-estab lished. "Not long ago I thought our fondest hopes wero about to bo realized. It was just before tho unveiling of tho monument to the Pil grims in Boston. 'Tho Pilgrims,' said I, 'como oil, girls) This means onr mothers, our sisters. It means that we will be rep resented.' We went, we stood for three hours in tho hot sun listening to tho dedica tory services, which were impressive. We listened to beautiful speoches by great mn. Wu heurd that taxation without representa tion was unjust wo had just paid our taxes before wo went down. We heard that the law of the land was tho will of tho people, and other noble sentiments were expounded. At last tho great monument was uncovered and wo read 'Erected to the Memory of the Pilgrim Fathers!' And fathers was tho biggest word of all. ' 'Disappointed and mortified we weut away. Wo had no monument after all. It was only erected in memory of our 'Fithors.' "But America has hor liberty. She's a woman, it is true. She etamU down the hay iu quarantine And she's the ouly thing we have succeeded in effectually quarantining. What we want is to got Liberty out of quar antine and bring her into the country."
