On Thursday evening of last week persons
living near Chestnut street, north of the canal,
heard the screams of u woman who seemed to
be struggling with two or three men. An in
vestigation proved that u young woman known
as "Beatrice" had been the victim of an as
sault; and on her sworn complaint a young
man named Wm. Schoor was arrested as one
of the assailants. Au examination of the. ac
cused before Ksquire Weeks on Wednesday
resulted in Schoor being bound over to await
the action of the grand jury, under bonds of
f NX). Another young man named Fox is said
to be implicated in the dastardly affair, and
hi capture was nearly effected on Tuesday.
He had been literally run to ground in the
clay mine at Brickton, and Otlicer Dwyre of

covered Dwyre gave chase, but the pursued
succeeded In getting away.

call her blessed.' " A large company was
present to testify respect and affection in the
last offices.

In the northern part of the state the condi
