Julia Hudson, of 4011 Sylvan street, West Philadelphia, who was assaulted on Wednes day afternoon In Belmbnt Glen, In the FarK, by a colored man. A number of arrests have been made on suspicion, but the men were discharged owing to lack of evidence on which to hold them. The account of the attack as told by Mrs. Hudson proves It to be one of the most dar ing which has ever been called to the ntten- Hon of the police. It occurred in broad day light.

Mrs. Hudson, In company with her two children, was sitting on a bench but a short distance from Belmont Mansion. The children had strayed some distance away, wben she was suddenly confronted by a negro, wbo asked ber the way to the Driving Park. She arose to direct him, and wben her face was turned be suddenly dealt ber a ter-rlllc blow on the head with a club, cutting a deep gash and felling ber to the ground. She screamed, and ber cries attracting the children's attention, they came running up to her, when the negro took to his beels and disappeared.

Mrs. Hudson was so stunned by the blow that she was unable to rise, and lay noon the ground until one of the little ones called a Park Guard, who took her to her borne. The back of her head was severely cut and the shock of the assault has prostrated her. She described her assailant as a colored man of medium helgbt, apparently about 21 years old, with an impediment In bis speech. He wore black clothes and a derby hat.

PULLED OUT HAIR BY HAIR A Curious Story of Jealousy and Indian Cruelty, How Sqnaw Wreaked Her Vengeance On the Head of Her White Rival. Special Telegram to The Times. Oklahoma, I. August 21 Living near this town Is a woman whose perfectly bald head tells a curious story of jealousy and Indian cruelty. In 1859 Oswald Thnrwald, a Swedish farmer, had a home in the Territory close to the Texas border and his family consisted of his wife, two daugh ters and a son.

The Indians seemed friendly, passing over the Thurwalds, even when slay ing the other settlers about, and frequenting their place to sell their wares and to purchase such goods as Tburwald brought out from the States for barter. He was rapidly growing rich and had made his preparations to move to Dallas, where he intended to extend bhr business, when the tragedy occurred that de- stroyed his home and scattered his family. It seems that the chief of the Tonkawa Indians who visited that part of the country from the South on raiding expeditions had seen Elsa, the elder daughter, and fancying her offered to buy her of her father. But Tburwald, though fond of money, refused, which gave great offense to the chief. Re turning borne be incited his people against the Thurwalds and the following spring they made an attack on him.

He and bis son succeeded in escaping, but the wife and younger daughter, though they eluded cap- turetheflrstfewdays, were overtaken finally, Mrs. Tburwald sank under the fatigue of her hasty flight through a rugged country and wben the Indians came up with them It was to find the girl holding her mother In her arms, the poor woman having just expired. The next day tbe girl herself lagging on the march from an arrow wound iu her ankle, was shot In the presence of her sister, who bad been seized and held from the moment of the attack till now. She was taken to a village and given Into thechargeof the Bquaws until the men should have returned from the war trail. kickapoos declarh war.

In the meantime the Kickapoos declared war on tbe Tonkawas, and raided the village, when Elsa Tburwald wus carried off with such of the Indian women as were spared as slaves. The Tonkawas returning, found the smoking remains of the bouses, and started after tbe despollers, overtaking them close to the Colorado, where an obstinate battle ensued, but both sides then consented to a truce. The chief of the Kickapoos, however, stipu lated that the white woman should be given to him. This was opposed by the Tonkawi chieftain, who claimed her by right of prior ity. This brought on a quarrel, which was terminated By a hand-to-hnnd tight between the rivals, which resulted In the chief of the Tonkawas being killed and the bone of con tention fulling to tbe victor.

He carried her home and confided her to the care of his squaw, with the Injunction that if she were Injured In any way the life of the woman would pay for It But fired by jealousy for ber successor tbe woman took advantage of her lord's absence to wreak her vengeance on tbe detested object. Binding her to a tree Bhe deliberately pulled out the unfortunate beauty's hair tbread by thread. This torture lasted several hours until the white woman's head was covered with blood and she shriek ing with agony. When the chief returned and learned what had occured he ordered the witch burned at the stake. She escaped Into the bush, but was recovered and the sentence executed.

Thurwald had now died, but his son bearing his sister being in tbe bands of the Indians organized a rescuing party and succeeded In liberating her, after eighteen months of captivity. Her head took weeks to heal and It thought her mind was affected by her savage treatment, though In 1875 she married farmer In this vicinity. Her balr has never grown again. A POINT AGAINST CURTIS.

G. Carlisle yesterday wrote to Mayor Stuart acknowl edging tbe receipt of the Mayor's letter tell- lng blm of tbe action of Councils In authoriz ing the sale of the part of tbe proposed new Mint site owned by the city. The letter lol-lows i our favor Inclosing cony of an ordinance passed at a special meeting of the Select and common councils oi tne city or authorizing yon as Mayor to sell and convey to the United States certain real estate on and near Broad street for the sum of 000 Is received. "From what I have been able to ascertain In relation to the value of this oronertv. I think tbe off er of the city Is quite reasonable, end, in fact, liberal, but you will understand, of course, that tbe government can enter into no absolute engagement for the purchase of miB property unless it succeeas aiso in securing, by purchase or condemnation, the other parcels necessary to constitute tbe Mint site.

Your offer to render further service In connection with the acquisition of the remain ing property is fully appreciated, and I hope that you may, in connection with the Phlla- delphla committee, of which Mr. French is chairman, be able to facilitate such further purchases as are necessary." And the Cat Came Back. Like the much-sung feline, those who once make a trip to Atlantio City over the Reading Railroad's Royal Rout" are certain to come back to It again. The smooth, curve-less double track, the smokeless locomotives, the airy, comfortable coaches, quick time and general excellence of service account for its unsnaaabie popularity.

VERDICT QUICKLY potiflD It Took Only Fifteen Minutes of Oe-liberatlou After Tbree Honrs of Speech-Making to Determine That Joseph P. Kidd, James Thompson and Hugh O'Neill Had Accepted Seventy Illegal Votes The Supervisors to be Tried Next. The trial of Joseph P.

Kidd, James Thompson and Hush O'Neill, election officers for the Sixteenth division of tha Third ward, at the Vaux-McAlecr contest in November, 1890, ended in a verdict of guilty before Judge Butler yesterday afternoon in tho United States District Court. Kidd was the judge of the election, Thompson, majority inspector, and O'Neill, the minority inspector of the board which twisted the vote of tho division around so as to show a majority for Delama- ter and McAlcer. When Court opened in the morning, the defendant Thompson, was again on the wit ncss stand and was asked a number of ques tions as to the way the voting was done. Mrs. Susan Peterson, colored, who lived close to tho polls, swore that sho saw John Farren, the principal witness for the government, twice in the afternoon on election day.

He came to her house, she said, after voters, and staggered, as if drunk, when he walked. John Magee testified that Farren was under tho influence of liquor, and that Nicholas Keenan, who hold the book for Far- len whilo tho latter was away, was also drunk. Arthur Sheppard, colored, who was engaged in bringing voters to the polls, swore that he saw Farren several times on election day, and that he was intoxicated, as was also Keenan. On cross-examination, Sheopard could not remember the names of any of the voters that he brought to the polls. William Jones, a voter, testified that Farren challenged him, and that ho told Farren that he was drunk.

THE PRISONERS CONVICTED. The evidence of Charles Oo-rnlcy, a sub letter-carrier, and Eobert Fulton was to the effect that Farren was away from the polls a number of times and that he was intoxicated. Charles McFarlan, one of the supervisors of the election, was also examined as a witness. In rebuttal Farren was recalled, and contradicted the testimony which had been given to the effect that he was intoxicated on election day. Testimony was also given to the effect that Farren was sober by John Little, John M.

Henry and several others. At noon the speech-making began. Assistant District Attorney Ralston summed up the evidence for the government, Attorney Miles followed with a long speech in behalf of the defendants and District Attorney Ingham made the closing address for the prosecution. It was after 3 o'clock when the Judge charged the jury. He said that in order to convict the defendants, the evidence must prove that they wilfully received illegal votes and knowingly made a false certificate of the election.

There had been cast 354 votes. Of these upwards of 70 were illegal. The men in whose names some of the votes had been polled were called as witnesses. Forty had not voted, others were dead and about thirty had removed. Nine did not appear.

Tho Judge, in this connection, said that it would be a sorry day for the country when officials were allowed to be elected by crime. The question forthe jury to consider was whether they believed the testimony of Farren and Keenan. CONVICTED IN FIFTEEN MINUTES. It took but a quarter of an hour for the jury to arrive at the. verdict.

Lawyer Miles asked that his client's bail be renewed, so that they could be at liberty until tho time of sentence, but the Judge refused the request, stating that it was against the practice of the Court, except in such cases where certain reasons were given. Harry Hunter, who is under indictment for more recent election frauds, and William F. Anderson, chief of tbo transcribing clerks in tue Kecorder ot Deeds Olnce, were deeply interested, spectators ol the trial. The trial of Charles McFarlan and Edward McGronan, the United States Supervisors at the election, wno are accuses ot being con' corned tne Iraud, is to begin to-day. SWALLOWED THE DIAMONDS.

How a Dying Wife Circumvented Her Predecessor's Family. special Telegram to The Timks. Lincoln, August 24, A novel suit Is to be entered In the courts of this place at Its next sitting, In which one party claims the right to have a post mortem examination of a body made, while the other opposes it, and defies the first to proceed with the affair. It seems that a few years ago a Mr. Warrington, a well-to-do cattleman of this county, married a second wife, to whom he presented the Jewels, con slating of a valuable diamond belonging to the first Mrs.

Vt arrington, and which she bad received as part of hermarrlage portion from her futher, a wealthy merchant in Jewelry In San Francisco. Warrington dying shortly after his second venture into matrimony, Mrs. Warrington kept, the diamonds In defiance of the family of her predecessor, who claimed them as the deceased woman's heirs. Suit was brought against her, but she de clared mm tier mieuana nad sold tberu shortly after they were married, and that she had no property to make good the loss even ii sne were naoie lor tne net or Mr. Warring ton.

This storv was not believed bvthe first Mm Warrington's family, who maintained that the woman still had them in her possession, and soon after her death, which took place some weeks ago, the nurse who attended her In her Inst illt.ess testified that tbe day she bad died, she had her bring her a box filled with unset gems, which she deliberately swallowed one by one, passing away a few mo ments alter sne naa gotieii tne last one down. The family now wish to disinter ber body and to open it ror ine recovery oi me diamonds, Dut ner own people not crediting the curse story, refuse to allow what they consider a desecration or the dead.
