Ocala, Fla , May 3.—On the 30th alt, two mile* south from Ocala, near tha old Tampa road, at midday, Etta Barley, a girl of 90, while working in a oorn field, waa attaoked by one of her own ooler—a burly negro tramp unknown in tne neighborhood—in a lavage manner. He informed her that he had watched her for three daya with a murderous intention. In her •truggle she lost the greater part of her clothing, while he hacked away with a knife, catting her clothes nearly oft', bnt fortunately not wounding her seriously. Her screams brought aid, and the villain then made off into a hammock olose by. After a careful search by scores of enraged negroes he could uot be fonnd. The entire population is up in arms. Since this occurrence two girls were attaoked on Friday evrning, but the dastard was then driven off. On Saturday night at dusk Etta was subjected to another attack from the monster close to her home. After knocking her down heprooeeded to nsehis knife. Had the cuts been effectual he would have disembodied her. Fortunately the strokes of his knife only cut her clothing. The father and brother ran to her aid and the latter fired his gun at tfie wouldbe murderer, but without effect. His remark was before leaving that he had to kill her somehow. No reason can be assigned. The girl nnd her family arc respectable, harmless people. Bodies of armed men are soouriug the woods, and'should the demon be caught they are determined he will not have a chance of trial by jury i It i-i reported at a late hi nr to night that ' one viotiiu, a young co'ur. d girl, has been fom.d in the woods deutl and blushed in a ' horrible manner.

By the aid of ihe life saving ere ir the tish was secured, bnt no one could tell of what species it was. Information of its oapture was sen t to the Sini th - sonian Institution and a description was asked for. Before this was received a gentleman reached here who had seen the fish and expressed the opinion that it was of the Molarotunda family, the common sun-fish. When the fish arrived this was found to be the case. It weighed (>00 pounds, and is supposed to be the largest specimen ever caught. It will be skeletonized and placed in the National Museum.Washington, D. C., May 3—One ilay last week the li#ht house keeper at Cape Lookout observed on the sand near by a g A.

Three of the reputed rffesassius—DdWit t John Parker, and Ben Levalne—have pasm4(S their checks and goi o to pay their lodjjsceonuts. In January Hen Levaine sickened and on his deaths*) confirmed the suspicions of many by u teath bed confession. l[e«onfessed in tbo presence of several persons that he and Parker stationed themselves by the roadside, while Henry Fields and his son Oscar went on ahead to watch for the victim; that the Fields' were to blow a blast on a horn should Abies be alone and two blasts if he had company. The fatal blast sounded on the stillness of the evening and few minutes afterwards; Abies appearing alone, the two concealed assassins emptied their shot gnns and pistols int > his body. This oonfession revived old memories and another with the murder have died ami few persons lire now who remember the Suspicion became rife in the neighborhood and the further fact leaked out that the murdered man was an eye witness of the driving off of » bunch of horses by Henry Fields and the parties above mentioned, Abies having detected them swimming the Triniiy rive.". The fonr mentioned above were arrested and an examination had and the parties bound over to await the action of the grand jury. It is surprising to note the rapid changes of twenty years.

A short time after this Ben Levaine, Oscar and Henry Fields and Dewitt John Parker appeared at the dance St. Locis, Mo., May 5.—A strange story comes from Palestine, Tex., showing that the adage, that "murder will out," has been startlingly verified by the arrest of an aged citizen for an assassination whioh occurred twenty years ago. One sunny morning about that time, boys on their way to mill found by the roadside the body of young Polk Abies, riddled with bullets and lying at the edge of a little glade seven miles west of Palestine. His right boot waa pulled off and it was known that he had be«n paid the Bum of $400 a few days before. Robbery was at first supposed to be the sole motive. Young Able was on his way to a dance at Mrs. Wrights when murdered, and parties St. Lous. May t.—A remarkable cue of ' italepsy is reported from Booth St. Louis. Urnee are suppressed for the reason that he victim is so weak that the excitement lertain to lie aroosed by a knowledge of ler identity and consequent excite meat miong her neighbors would be fatal. The itory is to tlie effect that a young married roman was about to be takenoutfor bural, wden her husband saw her arm move, mil ordered ber to be taken out of the wflin at once. He called in two physicians, rho, after an examination, pronounced ife not extinct, and began a process of reinscitation. Their ofl'orts were successful rnd the woman was in a short time brought >ack to consciousness. A sister of the woman related the folowing facts in connection with thestrange iase : "Last Monday, my sister, who had wen sick but for a few days, died as far ae *e could see. The attending physician >rononnced her dead,and her husband pioeeded to make arrarg ments for the fuleral. On Tuesday a short tima before the ilosing of the cotUn was to have taken dace, my brother-in-law was standing by be bier looking at the face of bis wife, fhen bis little boy came into room and aid: 'I want to look at mamma.' Just hen the arm of uiy sii-'.r moved.

They placed a glass iu front if my sistei's face and all could at once >erceive the sigus ol breath upon it. They hen began to work with her and after a ihort while more positive of life be;an to appear. Sho kept gettiug better all ,he time until Anally she became conscious. The most terrible featnro about it all is ,bat she know perfectly everything that was going on around her. When she was being dressed for burial she realized what was being dono and tried her best to show signs of life, but could net do so. When ihe was placed in the colli 11 an awful feellug of what was to be her doom came over her, she says, and she tried to scream and thought that she succeeded, but, of course, •he did not. "When she came to and related to us an account of the mental torture she had experienced during the time ber trance lasted, she said : 'Where were yon all the time when I screamed V We told her that she had not screamed or we surely would have heard her. 'Well,' she said, 'I tried to scream often and thought that once I had succeeded in emitting a shriek.' When she was lying in the coQln she tried to move, bnt failed until her little child oame running into the room and asked to look at her. Then her arm cramped, and hv husband, who was standing by the coffin, fortunately happened to sue it. Had he not, she would oortsinly have been buried alive." Her Remains Finally Interred.

Chicago, Kay 3.—The buiial of the remains of Miss Wilhelmlna Stahl, whose phenomenal condition since death has excited so mnoh wonder, took place to-day at Norwood Cemetery. The medical examination of Thursday having revealed nothing new and undubitable proofs of the extinction of life being present, her mother and sister yielded to the last hope. The home, situated on the public and but & step from the North western Railway station, has been the sceLe of much trying annoyance from the perpetual calling of the idly curious that only immediate friends were allowed to be present.

May 3.—A sad case of domestic trouble came to light to-day. Some timo ago John Kocher and his wife,living in the western part of the town, separated, and Mr. Kocher took hit* children and went t<* live with his mother. A few days •#> a son 9 years old died, and Mrs. Kocher, when she oalled at the house to bee the body was refused admission. Then she appeared before 'Squire Otto, who sent a note to Mr. Kocber telling liim to «llow Mrs. Kocher to see her child. This he refused to do. The funeral of the child took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Shortly after .dinner to-day Mrs. Kocher •gain came to 'Squire Otto and begged him to aid her in her attempt to see her dead child before it was buried.
