BRUTALLY ASSAULTED A Prominent East Liverpool Woman ATTACKED BY NEGRO She Was Injured In Struggle With Her Assailant Negro Was Arrested and Bound Over. East Liverpool, April 3.

David colored, aged 21, ls behind tho bars of tho city jail charged with a crime of a most daring and heinous nature. Between tho hours of 2 and 3 o'clock Tuesday morning Brown entered tho homo of Mrs. Dr. L. O.

Williams, at 200 Fifth street, and making his way to the sleeping apartments of tho woman, ho seized her by tho throat and attempted to strangle her. Although taken at a disadvantage, Mrs. Williams grappled with her assailant and a terrible strugglo ensued. Not until sho was almost strangled into insensibility did tho woman succeed ln freeing herself from tho fiend's hold upon her throat, but even then she was unable to mako tho least outcry. She succeeded In throwing her assailant to tho floor, and as nho arose from her bed tho negro started to run.

Mrs. Wllllnms followed him and ho made his way to a rear stairway which ho descended with all possible haste. As soon as ho reached tho lower landing ho groped his way to a back door, which ho had opened previous to going upstairs, and beforo ho could bo overtaken rushed out into the darkness and disappeared. A telephone messago was Immediately sent to police headquarters, and Officers GUI, Aufderheido and Dawson hurried to the scene. In the meantime an Inspection of Mrs.

William's room had been made and a blue golf cap was found on the pillow of her bed. Muddy foot prints were also found on tho floor of the room and tho bed clothing was badly soiled. Tho finding of tho cap proved to be a tell-tale featuro of Brown's case. It taok the officers but a moment to suspect the perpetrator of the daring deed, and they lost no time in making their way to the negro's home in tho west end. Ho was found in bed, and when questioned by tho policemen as to where his cap was, tho guilty said he lost it.

Brown wns taken to Jail without further ceremony and locked up. At tho hearing, which wns set for 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, Brown was brought face to faco with Mrs. Williams. The woman was assisted to tho mayor's ofllco by her son, and was yet In a very norvous state. Her throat still showed eidenco of tho negro's attack, several bluo marks being imprinted in tho flesh.

Brown was badly scared when taken Into tho mayor's ofllco. At a request from Mayor Davidson, Mrs. Williams revealed tho marks on hor throat to the itegro Tho bruto looked a moment" and exclaimed: "I didn't choke her, did Too bad." Tho mayor then proceeded to question tho guilty wretch and succeeded in extracting a full confession from htm. His cap was in th court room as evidence, and Brown at once admitted it was his. Ho told of how ho raised tho wln.dow nnd entered tho Williams homo, but Bald ho didn't steal anything.

His motive for attacking Mrs. Williams Is not known. Mayor Davidson bound tho self-confessed criminal over to the grand Jury on the charges of burglary nnd attempted personal violonco. His bond was fixed at $500 and ho will bo takon to Lisbon Wednesday morning. An effort waw made to Induce Mrs.

Williams to prefer a charge against Brown for attempted murder, but alio decided not to.do so. Brown has a bad record ln pollco circles, and feollng agnlimt him is bitter ln the extreme. Prosecutor Brookes lion boon perfectly familiar with the details of Brown's last cilmo, and ho has prom-Iscd to obtain for tho floud tho strongest penalty possible. FEAItED VIOLENCE.

Skiii DMeaSes When the excretory organs fail to carry off the mate material from the system, there Is on abnormal accumulation of effete matter which poisons amd clogs the blood, and it becomes sour and aoid.

This poison is carried through the general circulation to all parts of the body, and upon reaching the skin surface there is a redness ana eruption, and by certain peculiarities we recognize Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, Erysipelas nnd many other slcin troubles, more or less severe. While the skin is the scat of irritation, the real disease is in the blood. Medicated lotions and powders may allay the itching and burning, but never cure, no matter how long and faithfully couiinuea, anu uie condition is oiten aggravated ana sun permanently injured Dy uietr use. The ilscase is more mil shin deep; the entire clrculalloi is polsonel. The many preparations of arsenic, mercury, potash, not only do not cure skin diseases, but soon ruin the digestion and break down the constitution.

3. S. nature's own remedy, made of root, herb and barks, of great purifying and tonical properties, quickly and effectually cures blood and skin troubles, because It goes direct to the root of the disease and stimulates and restores normal, healthy action to the different organs, cleanses and enriches the blood, and thus relieves thi sratom of all poisonous secretions. S. S.

S. cures permanently because it leaves none of the original poison to referment in the blood and cause a fresh attack. sss 9 'H Skin Diseases will be sent free upon application. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA. CA.

Va kuk tin rlifl.ro nbalfvrr for ilifo Arvlpi Hitr fwilr cn Wnntl ONLY A MIRACLE Saved Frank Fairfield's Life Tuesday Evening.

WAS HIT BY A TRAIN While Driving Across Ft. Wayne R. Horse Killed, Wagon Smashed, But Boy Escaped With Injuries Only. Frank Fairfield, a driver of a delivery wagon, owes his life to a strange dispensation of providence. That ho ls allvo now is a mlraclo that can hardly bo accounted for.

Lato Tuesday afternoon ho was literally snatched from tho jaws of death: Ho lies now at tho Aultman hospital suffering from flvo gashes in his scalp and faco. Tho wounds themselves are extremely painful, but aro not considered dangerous by Dr. J. L. Reed, who is attending him.

Tho accident In which young Fairfield so nearly lost his Ufo occurred Tuesday evening about' 6 o'clock nt tho Fifth street crossing of tho Fort Wayne railroad. Fairfield was driving west on Fifth street. There aro no gates nt tho railroad crossing on Fifth street, and, as thoro were a number of empty box cars standing on sidings at that point, and as tho railroad crosses tho street at an acute anglo, It is extremely difficult for one to sco or hear approaching trains there. Just as Fairfield -started to drive across the tracks, tho Orrvlllo accommodation train, duo hero at o'clock In tho afternoon, but which nn hour late, boro down upon him. It hit tno covered delivery wagon Bquarely in tho middle Tho shock of tho contact wrenched tho horso froo from tho shafts, and tho animal fell to tho ground.

His neck was broken by tho fall, and he died a few moments later. Tho rushing train half carried, half dragged tho wagon for a full square, doposttlng it at tho Fourth street crossing. Fairfield was carried in the wagon. How It was that ho was not thrown out ls a mystery to all who saw tho accident. Ho was battered around in the wagon, and, when tho vehicle was dropped at Fourth street, ho ob thrown violently to tho ground.

Ho picked himself up and walked to Dr. Reed's ofllco, some little distance away. His wounds woro dressed thero and he was then takon to his homo ln tho doctor's buggy, and afterwards to the Aultman hospital, where he now 1b. Not a bone In his body was broken. The doctor stated that there woro flvo wounds In the young man's head, thrco of which aro on the face.

Tho other two are scalp wounds, and aro located at the top of his forehead. One of them, which lies at the juncture of tho forehead and tho hair, is tho largest. It Is almost square, being about an Inch and a half long by probably tho samo width. It required considerable stitching to sew up all of tho wounds. Wednesday morning it was reported, that 'young Fairfield was resting easily.

The wagon wns smashed Into a thousand pieces. The wheels wcro all torn off, and they would make good kindling wood in thojr presont condition. Burglars Made a Haul. Fostorin, 0 April 3.
