Attempt on the Life of Senator Wade.

e.. WASHINGTON, Jan. IL.
On Wednesday evening between and 9
o'clock, a man of unusually large proportions
called at the residence of Hon. Benz f. Wade,
U. S. Senator from Ohio, and asked to see the
Senator. He was shown up to Mr.. Wade's
room. After being seated he stated that he
was trying to obtain employment in the u s.
Navy, and asked Wade to sign paper of re-
commentator in order to further his object.
Mr.. Wade refused to do so, saying he did not
know him, and advised him to procure the
signature of some person to whom he was
known. After listening to the reply the
strange visitor, whose physiogomy Mr.. Wade
describes as singularly malicious and brutal,
looked at the Senator with significant scowl,
which the latter plainly interpreted as mean.
ing mischief At this juncture of the inter-
view Mr. Wade arose and stepping into an ad
Joining room armed himself with loaded
pistol and quietly returned into the room where
the man was sitting. After looking at each in
silence, the man began the Conversation by
saying, "Ain't you going to sign my paper?"
to which Mr.. Wade returned an emphatic neg
ative, alleging that he had no knowledge of
him. Matters now came to crisis. The
stranger arose to his feet drawing out bowie
knife about twelve inches long, and remark
ing, 81 suppose you know we are now alone,
sir, in this room" He was proceeding to un-
sheath his weapon, when Mr.. Wade sprung
to his feet, and drawing forth his pistol plac-
ed it within short distance of his head, tell
ing him to clear out Immediately or he would
shoot hir> ss5'.ae4. lgtafs-s
Taken somewhat by surprise, the man now
began 20 find his way to the door, followed
closely by Mr.. Wade, with pistol in close
proximity to his head. The Senator saw his
visitor down stairs, and before reaching the
door quietly informed him that he had a great
mind to shoot him any how. Upon this the
stranger departed. During the visit he failed
to produce any papers for signature, and evil
IDENTIFY made this mere pretext for an infer
view. At the time of his visit there were M
persons in the house beside Senator w AIDE. exs
