This is a party of - tramps hadcam ped- last especially true where they are kept in night, and near by were indications o'clock last evening an unknown man entered the back door of Mr. Charles Carline's residence during the latter's temporary absence. Mrs. Carline, who is an invalid, and confined to bed from a fracture of her thigh bone, call- ed out: "Is that you, Charlie?" when the in- truder opened her door, saying, "Where does the boss keep his mon- ey?„ Mrs.Carline said he had it with him, and all she had was in a purse in a bur- eau drawer. The man hunted up the purse, took out three 4 -cent scrips and threw down the purse. He theu made a rush for her, saying he would kill her for telling such a lie. Mrs. Carline had a walking stick by her bedside, and attempted to defend herself with it, strikinghitna blow an the cheek, Be wrenched the stick from her, and struckher a savage blow on the the tap of thehead and another on the right temple. She cried out, "Oh, be merciful! I've been lying here for eight weeks with a broken leg," With this the fiend pulled away the bed clothes and belabored her unmerci- fully on the limbs, the injured one not being spared. Holding one hand over her mouth as she was to trying scream and give the alarm, he said: -"I will hammer your brains out or smother you," at the same time taking a bottle from his pocket. Mrs. Cru line, thinking it chloroform, puther hands over her nose and mouth. The wretch poured the contents of the bottle over her hands and face. As the fumes of carbolic acid arose he said: --"I brought the wrong bottle, but I will kill you anyway." She said:-" you may kill my body, but cannot kill ray soul. It belongs to the Lord." Becoming alarmed, he dropped the stick and ran out the front door, which he had opened before entering her room. Parties just then passing, hear- ing the woman's screams, went in and sent for a doctor, as she was burned on hands and face with the acid and suf- fering great agony from bruises, as well as the nervous shock, but did not lose consciousness. The man she said had a peak cap pulled aver his eyes, and a scarf cover- ing the lower part of his face, mask- ing him. kr. Online had lust gone to the post office, as was his custom at that hour, and the fiend evidently watched him go out and knew the woman was alone and helpless. Up to a late hour this evening no trace of the would-be murderer had been discovered. Mrs. Carline is in a very critical con- dition, and is not expected to recover. No Doubt A Murder.
