A BOLD FIEND Attacks a Young: Girl in New York While Riding in an Elevator?Got Away Bat Was Caught and Locked Up. Accused of attacking a seventeen year-old Australian girl in an eleva tor in New York. Benjamin Wil liams, a young West Indian negro, was arrested at 229 East Seventy fifth street by Detectives McAvoy and Stewart and locked up at police headquarters. The victim is Sadie Schaffer, who lives with her sister Minnie in a small apartment at 323 East Houston street. She has been in this country only nine months. She had started out to seek employment. Entering an elevator, she told the negro attendant to stop at the fourth floor. She was the only passenger. Instead of stopping at the fourth floor, she says, the negro ran the ele vator to the eighth floor, which is vacant. Without a word, the girl declares, he seized her in his arms, and. jamming his list into her face to stifle her cries, threw her to the floor. Fortunately before she fainted, the girl screamed'several times. Hearing the girl's screams, men from all the floors of the building rushed to the elevator, but their sig nals met with no response. Running the elevator from, the top to the bot tom floor at full speed, the negro threw the door open and dashed past half a dozen men who did not know what had happened. The girl was found on the floor of the elevator unconscious. Her face and neck were bruised as though an attempt had been made to strangle her. She was taken to an upper floor and restoratives were administered. It was more than an hour before she recovered consciousness. Two policeman hurried over from the West Twentieth street station in answer to the alarm, but were too late to catch the negro. When the girl recovered somewhat, she was taken home and left in the care of, her sister, her only relative, in the country. With tears streaming down | her cheeks, she described her exper ience, "He did not say a word to me, but just threw out his arms and grabbed me," she said. "I tried to scream, but he struck me hard over the mouth and told me he would kill me if I did not keep quiet. I thought he really meant to kill me, and begged for mercy. He did not pay any attention to what I said and threw me on the floor. Then I managed to scream once or twice. I heard a lot of bells ringing and that's the last thing I remember until I woke up with somebody standing over me and pouring something: into my mouth." "Have they caught him?" was the first question of the girl's sister. "It's awful over here in your Amer ica. Every day you read of girls who have been assaulted, and almost never of the capture of the brutes who attack them. In my country such a tiring might happen once in a hundred years, perhaps, but they would hang him, and over here the most you do to such a man is to send him to prison for a few years. "If I had him I'd'pour kerosene! over him until he was thoroughly soaked and then set him on fire, or I'd do something that would keep him suffering for a year, and then kill him, Oh, if you could only know how I feel about it. My little sister doesn't realize how awful it is." The police caught the negro after an all-day search. He is a heavily built mulato who shows plainly that much of his blood, is white.

CASTOR IA Far Infants and Ciliaren. 18 Kind You toe Always Bought Bears the Signature of DIES TRYING TO FLY Christian Scientist Plunges Four Stories to Street Wife Clings to His Ankle As He Hungs From the Window Until She Faints. Eugene Hawe, of New York, was a planter and polisher of hardwood parquet floors, and did well at his trade up to last May. At this time Howe and his wife, Bertha, moved their belongings into the top floor of the four-story and basement brown stone residence of Dr. Gregory Costi gan, at 63 West Sixty-eight street. At the Central Park, west of the block on which the Costigan house is situated is the Second church of Christ Scientist. Howe dropped in there to see and hear. The husky floor planer became deeply interested in the teaching of Christian Science. He tried to interest his wife in the tracks ana books he-obtained at the library of the church. Mrs. Howe would have none of the teachings. She says that since her husband began to road Mary G. Ed dy's "Science and Health," he has had little time to attend to his trade. He gave up smoking, changed most of his habits of life, and not long ago decided that eating - breakfast was all a mistake. At 10 o'clock Sat urday night Howe came home and chatted for ashort time with Dr. Cos tigan. The physician says the floor polisher was perfectly rational. After talking with Dr. Costigan but a short time Howe went up to his apartments on the top floor. He un dressed and got into bed, taking with him a book he had bought. It was "Science and Health." Along after midnight How*, so his wife says, began to act in a manner queer even for him. He finally made for a front window, climbed out on the sill and announced that he was going to fly out on the night air. Mrs. Howe ran to the window and managed to grasp him by the ankle just as he leaped. She held his weight with all the strength that was in her arms. Her arms were badly cut and bruised by coming in contact with the sharp edge of the stone window sill. Finally the woman's' strength gave way, and, with a shriek that arroused the neighborhood, she fell back into the room in a faint. Howe's skull was fractured and his body and legs were torn and crushed. He died in the hospital without regaining consciousness. When he leaped from the window Howe had carried with him Mrs Ed dy's book. Dr. Costigan is of the opinion that Howe was suddenly seized with an insane notion that he could leap from the window, land on the sidewalk be low without injury, and then enter the house and display himself to the physician as a converting argument, in favor of Christian Science. . Mrs. Howe says that shortly before her husband made for the window he had told her that Dr. Costigan had been practically converted to Chris tian Science and comtemplated giv ing up his practice.

MUCH PRAISE TO ALL CUTICURA REMEDIES "I must give much praise to all the Cuticura Remedies. I used but one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that was required to cure my disease. I was very much troubled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cuticura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema entirely. Since then we have always kept the soap cn hand at all times. My sister was also cured of eczema of the head by using the Cuticura Remedies. Another sister has used Cuticura Resolvent and Pills and thinks they are a splendid tonic. I can not say exactly how long I suffered, but I think about six months. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. D.

GET WINCHESTER SHELLS ACCEPT NO OTHERS 1 J CUPID VS; CUPIDITY Blind God Routed in Honeymoon, Says Harrison. Now He Wants a Divorce?Declares Wedded Life Has Been Anything bat Pleasant. Rudely awakened on his honey moon up the Hudson river by the declaration of his bride of a few hours that she had married him only "to collect alimony and live inde pendently," Arthur W. Harrison, has sued for divorce. Here are some of the allegations in his complaint. That on their honeymoon his wife treated him cruelly, and kicked and cuffed him about. That she pulled his hair. That she assaulted him and slap ped him in the face, wounding his pride. That she drew a loaded revolver and threatened his life. That she grabbed a handful of his ear while he tied a tie, and unmerci fully flayed him about the head un til he called for help. That she followed him to his office and down-town places, and annoyed and abused him. That she demanded $35 monthly allowance and refused to return and live with him. That she stayed away from home o' nights and didn't tell him where she went. That she is nervous and quarrel some and that she made life a burden for him. That she did it all again. The Harrisons, Arthur W. and Mary E., were married on July 14, 1901, according to the complaint, and their troubles commenced before they had gotten a fair start on their honeymoon. It was then she told him she had married him to collect alimony, and life wasn't exactly pleasant from that time on. .He declared he was "treated" with "cruelty and inhumanity" the rest of the trip, and it didn't stop when they reached home. .But they managed to get along without police interference until April, 1903. At that time be cause Arthur would not produce the money for a new gown, he avers that she set upon him as he entered home one evening and battered him so his friends had di;!iculty in establishing his identitiy. This breach was patched up until September, when it was said that Mrs Harrison met Arthur With a large re volver one night, and\compelled him to stand still while she explained just what she thought of him. Then came the tie incident. It seems that Harrison, like most mer who wear collars, can tie a tie without invoking profanity and with out donning war paint. He declares there was nothing in his attitude at the time in question that might have been construed into a declaration of war, but, nevertheless, Mrs. Harri son, while he was deeply engrossed in making the bow look properly put together, grabbed an ear and an end of the tie and belabored him about the head until he yelled "nuff." and bellowed for help. About then is when, according to Harrison, his wife began staying out o' nights, and he absently forgot to return home frequently. Consequent ly she began to call at his office and at the patent office and other places, and everybody within earshot knew just how she felt about it. It was finally agreed that he would give her $3 5 a month and be let alone This was on June 27, 1906, and for the first time in five years, Harrison felt happy. In September, however, business was bad and he felt he could not afford happiness as a $35-a month luxury, so he asked his wife to come back and love him again. Mrs. Harrison declined, and de manded her $35, with the result that Harrison is willing to chuck it all and forego the pleasure of family life and once again assume the role with the single tared. Now he wants the court to take up j his burdens and keep his wife away from his office, and give him a di vorce, a mensa et thoro. which looks like a frill, but means "from bed and board."' _-!

Warner Killing Miss N?rting Store and Wounding John In Wilson. A sensational shooting in which a young woman lost her life, a man was critically injured and the lives of several other persons were endan gered, occurred in New York Wed nesday Charles Warner, a former merchant, whom the police believed to be insane, shot down and almost instantly killed Miss Esther Norling, a young woman without seeming cause, in a store on West 42 street and then with a smoking revolver in his hand fled through the crowded thoroughfare and under the cover of a fusilade which he discharged a.t his pursuers, made his escape through the building of the Spaulding Sport ing Goods firm to West 43rd street, where he eluded the pursuing police for nearly three hours, only to sud denly appear in the store of John C. Wilson, a friend on upper Broadway, where he shot Wilson twice after making a request for a small loan. Wilson was turning to get the mon ey when the bullet struck him down. Warner pushed aside the employes and ran into the street, where his flight was ended by a blow on. the head from a truckman. Warner was taken into custody by the pslice. Wilson was taken to the hospital, where it was said Wednesday ?tf ter noon that his condition was critical. Business troubles are believed to have disordered Warner's mind. . Miss Norling had frequently com plained that the attentions of War ner, who was a former employer were annoying and that she feared his mind was affected by his financial reverses. Warner is about 60 years old. Warner made a desperate ef fort to free himself from the truck man, who grappled with him. War ner fired one shot which rebounded from the pavement and the truck mann, to save his own life, brought his rook down on Warner's head with such force that he laid the scalp open and dropped Warner to the sidewalk unconscious. The police hurried Warner to the hospital, where it was stated that there was little chance for him to survive his injuries. Miss Norling was a young '.vornan of excellent character and a musician of ability. Her mother died several years ago and her father remarried, since which time she has not lived with him. Her friends say Warner wished her to go in business with him, she having saved up some mon ey, and his frequent visits to her are said to have been with this motive in view.
