nuo and Fifteenth street , when she waa
approached by n drunken rullitin , who
-crasped her in his arms and attempted
to throw her down and outrage her. She
screamed for help and at the same time
made violent efforts to free herself. Dur-
'ing her exertions the couple draw near
to the edge of the viaduct and with a
' ( superhuman effort the lady gave the vil-
lian a push that loosened his hold on her
and sent him whirling to the bottom , a
distance of fifteen foot. Some citizens
heard the screams for help and turned in
an alarm for the police. They then ran
to the lady's assistance. The woman told
Kbr atory , which waa received with violent
ejaculations by the men , and then they
started for the ruilian , with the avowed
intention of stringing him up to the firat
Inmp-post. Ho waa found Ijjing on the
ground moaning , and the rapidly forming
mob grasped him by the heels and
dragged him into the road. Some were
beating and kicking him and othora call
ing for a rope , when the patrol wagon
unexpectedly came upon them , aud the
officers compelled them to deliver their
'victim into the hands of the law. Ho waa
taken to the West Twelfth street station ,
where ho gave the name of Frank Bo-
laski. Ho was kept there all night , and
hia wounda were dressed. The lady re
fused to prosecute the man , as she did
> not desire to have her name made public.

Moore's second official year , the proaont

the executive has had in this city. The
common council had its first regular
mooting of the second half of the year
to-night , and it was watched with inter-
eat , as now appointments to city offices
were looked for. It is not thought that
there will bo any change , although
a disagreement between the Fitz
gerald and Merchants hose company has
caused the presentation of different
candidates for chief engineer. The latter
favor the retention of the present incum
bent , T. P. Quick , nnd to-day presented
a petition for the same signed by eighty
of the leading property holders horo.
The mayor said ho would make no now
appointment until both companies agreed
on a candidate.
The most of the delegates and atten
dant lobby have left for Nebraska City.
The story ia that Whedon , Lincoln's can
didate for congress , obtained passes for
his friends frjm the local authorities of
the Burlington & Missouri , but a tele
gram from railroad headquarters at
Omaha mullified the free transportation ,
and consequently the delegates had to go

As the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy

the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy and

WASIHNUTON , April 1-1. The supreme

insurance case from Pennsylvania , in
which the insurance policy stipulated
that "If the representations and an-
mvors made to the company in the appli
cation for policy should bo found untrue
in any respect , the policy should bo
void. " The policy holder in his applica
tion stated that ho had never had
asthma , consumption , or scrofula , and it
subsequently appeared that these dis
eases were latent in his system. The
lower court hold that this invalidated
the policy regardless of the fact , whether
the applicant was aware of the fact or
not. _ The supreme court reverses this
decision on the ground that , if the dis
eases were so' latent , that the * applicant
was not aware of them , it was no frauc
on liia part such OH to justify invalidating
the policy.
