Tuesday morning Miss Emma Burtenger, a young woman of about 18 years of age, left home to visit some friends in the neighborhood. Her way led through a piece of woodland. While passing through it she was met by three men with masks, who seized her, gagged her to prevent an outcry, carried her into a dense thicket and assaulted her. The scoundrels then fled, leaving their victim to return home as best she could. She reached there in an exhausted condition and told her story.

The news spread like wildfire, and created the most intense excitement. The country is being scoured by bands of armed and incensed men. It is safe to say that if the miscreants are caught their fate will be settled by short shrift and long rope. Miss Burtenger thinks she will be able to identify her assailants although they were masked. Killed in a Colliery.

The central colliery of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company, was the soene of a fatal accident Wednesday afternoon, which resulted in the instant only doors but windows barred, as if to show how much more respect they paid the dead than the law. The only sound was that of spiteful engine whistles and the 4 rice in this district, sah, to learn, sah, whether you are a candidate for the great office of the presidency, sah, we would like to know it, sah, bo that we may elect to the convention at Chicago two delegates who shall vote for you first, last and all the time, sah." It was a grotesque situation but the Illinois senator proved equal to it. Without the suspicion of a smile upon his face at being called upon to answer such a question at such a time, he said 'My friends, 1 am glad to see you, but I want you to understand that so far as I am personally concerned, lam not a oan didate, but I never have nor. am I now going to repress or direct the efforts of my friends." "Yes, sah," said the short orator with a bow, and then they all filed up and shook bands with Gen. Logan and filled out with great solemnity.

A dispatch from Birmingham, Alabama, says an old man named Newsome, a pauper, died in the poor house last week. On Monday his brother, a Philadelphia bank er, was at Birmingham looking for him, Baying that a rich relative recently bequeathed $20,000 to the dead man unknown to him. 2,000 MKN KILLED AND WOUNUEU monotonous rumble of the heavily laden coal trains passing in a seemingly endless line.

Not for thirty-two years have the waters risen to suoh a height as they did on Wednesday about Pittsburg, and it will be fifty-two years next Sunday since they were higher that being the great flood of February 10, 1832, when the water reach ed thirty five feet.

This time it came within a few inches of that, but at eleven o'olock Wednesday night, had begun to recede. The twin cities, Allegheny and Pittsburg, present a spectacle never before seen miles of valaable property and hun dreds of houses under water. The dis trict bounded by Duquensne was on the north and Water street on the south and from the junction of the two rivers on Sixth street, including Penn avenue, Liberty street, from First to Sixth streets, Ferry and Short streets, is almost entirely submerged, and every street south of Penn avenue to Sharpsburg, a distance of five miles, is from one to ten feet under water. The management of Library hall, on Penn avenue, where Lawrence Barrett is piaying, has been compelled to suspend operations until the water recedes. The museum, on Sixth street, is still open, although surrounded by water, and the manager offers free transportation to and trom the museum in boats At night the city is in a state of semi-darkness.

The water is up to the gas works and, while the gas is still burning, it is very dim. On the south side every street south of Carson, from Chartiers creek to Thirtieth, is inundated, while all property within three squares of the river in Allegheny is submerged. At this time it is impossible to estimate the loss bat it is safe to say it will not fall short of $1,000,000 and may greatly exceed that amount. The 1 iss in some instances will reach $50,000 while a few hundreds will cover others. Fully five thousand families are rendered home less by the flood.

Arrangements have been made to shelter them in the public halls and on Thursday morning, and in accordance with a proclamation of Mayor Lyon, public meetings will be held for the purpose of making some provision for them until the flaod subsides sufficiently to permit them to return to their homes. Every iron mill, foundry and glass factory in the two cities have been compelled to shut down, while all the railroads, except the Pennsylvania Central, suspen ded traffic Wednesday afternoon. Between Pittsburg and Allegheny travel by street oars has been completely shut off and the only way to get to the North Side is by ferries, which are plying a layed until the afternoon to accommodate the host of friends of the late President Packer from other cities At 11 o'clock special trains lelt Philadelphia and New York to convey them to Mancb Chunk, and tbey were preceded by another special from Easton, while many more came in the other direction from Wilkesbarre and the Hazleton and Mahanoy regions.

Of INTB J.IGBNCKR. The Susquehanna at this time is froze at Peach Bottom, from the Big Island to the York county shore. The ice is from 12 to 20 inches thick and perfectly safe for travel either on foot or by horse. The safety on toot, however, is qualified by the degree of Bure-footednessyou possess, for the rains that have come since the ice was formed, and an occasional overflow of water, has made it very slippery. The thoroughfare," as it is called by the rivermen, which is that part of the river between the Big Island and the Lancaster county shore is not frozen, and has been unusually high this winter, on account of all the current flowing through it, dammed trom the other side.

Crossing the lce-Konnd Kiver. Oae day week I crossed to York county, and informed one of the ferrymen, whom I met in the middle of the river, mail bag over his should and as bow legged as if he had been astomed to sitting astride a barrel, that I would re-cross to the county of the Red Rose that night, and would want a boat to cross the thoroughfare." After coming to an agreement about the boat, he journeyed on toward the rising and I toward the setting sun. To tell the truth, I was in constant fear that my individual sun would set every next minute, for my feet seemed de termined to go each his own way and never twice in the same direction. It is a small matter to walk across a patch of ice ten feet or so in extent and not fall, but when it comes to a stretch one and three fourth miles long it is business. But I did it.

My gyrations, though, were wonderful, and if I had left any tracks they would have rivaled a crazy quilt for crookedness. When I reached land again I drew a long breath of lief, which is somewhat paradoxical for a Lancaster oountian to do in York county. The Keturn Trip. Returning to the river about seven o'clock in the evening, I made inquiry about getting over. A ferryman said he would show me the track over the ice.

When we reached the shore, moved no doubt by my piteous and profane lamen tations concerning the sorry time I had coming over, he threw out the informa tion that he would "push" me across the ice for a quarter. I assured him instantly that I was his man, whereupon he inquired. Do you mean it Certainly," I replied, shaking some keys in my pocket. That will only take you to the island," said he and for the boat there?" Yes, yes," I answered, I have another quarter, for there come on." Here's at you" said he. After a time, which I spent very pleasantly, keeping my feet warm and looking at the moon and stars shining and sparkling above me, and the beautiful sleeping river, my guide produced a kind of sled made of iron and pieces of boxes, with a low box on top for a seat, which he managed to tumble off and roll around in some water on top of the ice before it was ready for my occupancy.

The gloomy forebodings as to Baker Pacha's desperate march into the Soudan are confirmed by authentic reports of the utter rout of his army, 2,000 of whom were slaughtered. He had with him 3,500 men, and was advancing when attacked. Baker Pacha, with the remnant of his forces, succeeded in reaching Trinkitat, where the gunboat Ranger is lying, on which he intends to proceed to Souakin.

The khedive has received a dispatch from Baker Pacha confirming the story of his defeat and the loss of 2,000 out of his army of 3,500, near Tokar, with four Krupp guns and two Gatlings. He says the Turks aud European soldiers both fought well, and that he will proceed at once to Souakin. Baker Pacha began his advance from the entrenchments at Trinkitat on Sunday. His orce consisted ot 3,000 troops, badly armed and short of ammunition, many of whom showed an unwillingness to proceed. He had sent from Trinkitat to Cairo an urgent appeal for rifles to replace the old muskets with which num bers of his men were armed.

To modest and refined ears this may sound harshly, and in this present enlight-eued age it may be taken as a spirit of brutality and barbarism in the punishment of wrong doing but when it is considered that the criminal in very many instances is moved only by brutal passions and instincts in utter disregard of all the entreaties of parental, moral or religious instruction, it would seem the most ade quate punishment and the only defenoe that an injured, enlightened community can adopt. It is is an old adage which says, If a man will not hear he must be made to feel." And it is demonstrably and sadly true that many men in this enlightened and Christian age are susceptible of no feeling but that of physical pain or, if they have any such sense they willfully ignore and disregard it. There are men who allow themselves to be prompted and guided alone by the most degrading brutal passions and boast ia them, whether aroused by temporary excitants or by criminal indulgence. Their delight seems to culminate in the infliction of cruelty upon their fellow man and in the satiating of their bloodthirsty vengeance at the most trivial offense.

Such men are incapable of reformation by a human, moral or intellectual process; they have no regard or fear for prison bolts or bars, even if they could be subjected to them. The ouly remedy for the cure of such moral depravity is the prompt, certain and sure infliction of bodily suffering and disgrace. And suoh is the whipping post. Defence. TUB MKU1U4L SKCIbl V.

Baker in reply a ud he was surprised that a business man who has gained such a reputation as Mr. Evans, would approve bills month after month without being sure that they were correct. He wanted to know why these deductions were not made at the end of each month Mr. Evans said that the bills were approved by the finance oommittee because they had been approved by the lamp oom mittee, who were supposed to know that they were correct.
