Goes desire is that a complete, practicavle and constitutional bill (such a3 the one introduced by Mr, Husted is) should become a law before the Legislature adjourns, so that capitalists will oo safe and the rights of the people perfectly secured, INDORSFMENT OF THE HUSTED BILL.

The latter’ kept her waiting until he had attended to several other customers, wien he invited her to look through a microscope at some pictures. While thus engaged he came behind her, and, plac- in the counter, where he brutally assaulted her, de- | spite ber screams and resistance. Not wishing to say anything of her misfortune, Miss Gustadt went to her piace of employment, where she remained unti hait-past one o'clock P. M., When the pain occasioned by the assault be- | coming unbearable, she conciuded to consult a physician. She therefore communicated the Jacts to Captain Van Dusen, witu the request that a doctor be immediately sumwoued. Police Surgeon Wilde was accordingly notified, and on examination found several mark ./ vio- lence on her person, tending to corroborate her statement. Later in the day Officer Sieven ar- rested Finke, who Is a German, over flity sears of age and a man of fam)! He denied the story of the girl in emphatic German, not being able to speak Engitsh. He was locked up tn the Mercer street station house to await examination at court this morning. A FATAL FIRE. Hlowsroy, Texas, May 15, 1875.
