Brooklyn Eagle, 2 Jan 1897, page 4 - Mrs. Mary Jarvis Waylaid

Attacked and abused by Flushing roughs while on her way to church. Flushing, L.I., January 2 - Mary Jarvis, who lives on Washington Street, this village, while going to church Thursday evening, was attacked by roughs and dragged into the unused horse sheds back of the Congregational church, Lincoln street and Bowne avenue. A servant girl was passing the place, which has for years been known as a resort for disreputable characters, at about 10 O'Clock that evening, when she heard groans coming from the direction of the sheds. A young man, who accompanied the girl, ran in the direction from which the sounds came and heard men's voices. He hurriedly enlisted the services of several men who were coming down the streets and they started for the sheds. As they approached five strange men made for a hedge in the rear of the yard. As they followed them the rescuers stumbled over Mrs. Jarvis, who was lying on the ground, with her clothing almost torn off. The woman was so weak she could scarcely speak. A doctor was called and the woman was then carried to her home on Washington street.

When Mrs. Jarvis regained consciousness all she could remember was that two men had seized her from behind as she was passing the church and pressed something over her mouth to prevent her from screaming. She says they dragged her into the sheds, where there were several other men, and threw her to the ground. She remembered nothing more until she was found by her rescuers. She could give no description of the men. Mrs. Jarvis is a refined woman about 36 years old.

Complaints have frequently been made to the village trustees about the place where Mrs. Jarvis was assaulted. It is the rendezvous of the rough element in the neighborhood and there is hardly a week that some outrage is not reported as perpetrated there. The neighborhood is not thickly settled and is without lights at night. Mrs. Jarvis' assailants escaped.
