A CHILD SAVED FROM OUTRAGE BY THE PASSAGE OF A RAILROAD TRAIN TO THIS CITY. The 12:15 Baltimore and Ohio train from Balti- more to Washington dashing through Mount Winans, near Baltimore, yesterfay, prevented a dastardly attempt at outrage from being success- ful. The Baltimore American of Ubis morning thus tells the story: Lotta Grannis, lttle girl fourteen years old, had started from her home to carry her uncle's dinner. On the way she met Ruth Kauffman, a girl of about the same age, who accampanted her. On the way back from the place at whicn the uncle worked the two litte girls met a Fough-looking Man, and Ruth said to her companion: “We better watch that man, he looks like a bad man.” When the man drew’ nearer he made a dash at Lotta, who, being fleet-footed, succeeded in away. He'then ran after Ruth Kauffman, catching her, threw her down the embankment ‘and placed both hands over her mouth and then attempted an outrage, ‘THE LITTLE GIRL FOUGHT DESTRRATELY, and pinched a piece from one of the man’s hands. At this point the Washington bound train dashed by and the man ran off. As soon as the little girl was free she ran back towards the brick-yant and told the men there at work what had happened. A number of the men at once went in pursult of the fend. Word was at once sent to Mr. George Kauffman, the father of the little who was at work at J. H. Reband & Co.’s, No. 7 Swan street, in Baltimore. Mr. Reband immediately placed a hack at the of Mr. Kauffman, and about two hours later the father bad joined’ tn the pursuit. ‘The police authorities of Baltimore were also in- formed of the occurrence, and three officers were detatled to assist in the chase. After scouring the woods for about three hours Mr. Kauffman and County Officers Joseph Smith and Wm. Wade noticed two men, CAPTURED AND IDENTIFIED. The father having @ description of the man firmly impressed upon bis mind from a description by his ttle daughter at once exclaimed: “That is the man with the basket.” He halted the two men and, by persuasion, drew them into conversa- Uon. The man who put down his basket, and, in doing so, exposed bis hand, and the father saw the made by his daugliter. He ordered his arrest. On the way to the magistrate’s office Mr. Kauffman had the ner conducted Past his house, where ilttle Ruth and her mother Were at the window, As soon as the little girl saw the crowd sho exclaimed: “Mamma, that ts the man and papa has got him!” Before the te the man was fully identined by both itue girl and he was committed for the action of the jury. The man gave his name as William Watts, He, says he Uves In Sextousvilie. He isa brutal king man, about twenty-two years of age. He has the reputation of a tramp. Ruth Kauffman, the little girl, 1s a pretty Mitle blonde, with rosy cheeks. She" is very stout. The only Injury she Sustained were some slight bruises about the face. The outrage was attempted along the public high- Way, about ten feet from the railroad tracks, ee = A Clever Scheme. From the Denver Opinion. Said Jones: “We're going to Judge this fall.” paStid Smith: “Blifkinst What does he know about aw?” ‘Nothing at all, He never saw a law book. That's the reason wi going to ran him. We think that if he is ignorant of law we may get a little justice.” Why She Attempted Suicide. A YOUNG LADY TAKES ARSENIC AND THEN MAKES GRAVE CHARGES AGAINST HER EMPLOYER, Addispatch from Burlington, N. J., August 21st, Says: Miss Ella Ames, employed in William Bunt- ing’s large shoo manufactory as forewoman, atiempted suicide yesterday by taking arsenic. She was well educated and handsome, and her associates sald that she was soon to be married. The olson produced nausea and a doctor was summoned in time to ad- minister antidotes and save her life. To-day she had revovered sufficiently to speak of her affairs It was true, she sald, that she had Intended to be married, but her employer had opposed her union and used threats to prevent her from seeing her lover, who was a young man of good standing at Mili- ville. When asked for her employer's reasons Miss Ames sald: “Because Mr. Bunting said he could not get any one to take my place if J was married. ‘That ail I can tell.” When scen by your correspondent Mr. Bunting sald that Miss Ames had reoeived too many attentions of late from young men, and she had been twitted about it.” This Jed to the attempted suicide. Mr. Bunting farther said that Martin Wells, her betrothed, had called al her house recently ahd had remained there all night. When this statement was repeated to Miss Ames at her bedside she burst into tears, and then She said she would tell the truth. A notary was sent for and Miss Ames made the following sworn statement: “Mr. William Bunting has and rained me. When I first went to hisemploy 1 was tnno- cent and pure. He usedevery means to get my consent to comply with his base desire. I complied through promises and fear. I have long wished to escape from him. He threatened on Monday last taischarge me tf I looked at other men. In despair I sought to take my life. My God! what have suffered no one knows but my Maker and my- self, and all that Iam is because of my 5 debaser and betrayer, William Bunting. ELL R Awes.” Tun Bufkins for always been above reproach. Popular indignation is very strong against Mr. Bunting, who is married and has children. He is one of the most prominent manufacturers of Burlington. Miss Ames’ mother indignantly dented to-night that her daughter had ever associated with men improperly, and the reve- lation was a great shock to her.
