BRIsToL-ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY
Messrs. Burt d Patterson, grocers of this
place, having become convinced that
some one had access TO their store beside
themselves, during the night, decided to
watch the premises last Sunday night,
Mr.. Patterson being the watcher. TAX
ing his station behind the counter and
near the door, he remained in quiet until
about 10 o'clock, when he heard some
one unlocking the door. He remained
quiet until he thought his man was well
advanced from the door, and then sprang
for the door, but the thief was on the
alert and reached the door before Mr..
Patterson, and springing through, shut
and locked the door almost simultane-
ously. Mr.. Patterson thought the one
that locked the door was thief No. 9
aud that he had his man that first en-.
tered still, but in this he was deceived
1t was very dark in the store, so that he
could not accurately determine how far
the burglar was from the door, so ht
failed to capture him. There are Other
symptoms Of similar calls or door-try
ings, and it is hoped the sneak thief viii
yet be caught.-BitrlingtoR Free Press.

Trouble among the Changers.

The farmers movement as connected
with the Oranges, suffers much annoy
ance from adventures and schemers,
who are constantly seeking to make use
Of it to further some political element or
speculation. Some weeks since grange
was formed in Boston. We thought at
the time it was a curious place for farm
ers, but hay seed is sold there and We
supposed it must be all right. 1t is now
said that this grange is composed Of
grain spectators
As soon as this grange was organized
complaints were made in various parts
of the west, that the admission of grain
spectators into the order would be dis
astrous to its interests and that it mus
be stopped at all hazards. The result o
these complaints has been considerable
commotion and some excitement inside
the order, and the cry has been, /" down
with the grain spectators grange
Many urged the expulsion of the Massa
chusetts deputy, j. G. Abbott, for having
organized such a grange, and all were
unanimous in demanding that the Bos
ton grange should cease to exist. Mr.
Abbott does not fancy the propositions
and the obnoxious grange refuses to turn
over any Of their books and papers OF
to give up their charter, have all the
passwords and signs and propose to car
ny the question Of their humiliation NJ
to the national grange, claiming that
they are all interested in farming pur-
suits (who is notD which is the only
qualification for membership. Such are
present reports which may not in all re
spects be correct, but there is no doubt
of the breeze created by the organization
of the Boston grange, and as it is sale
to be composed of the strongest business
men of that city, they may make {
strong fight.

Attempt to Murder Ex-senator
POmerOy
BY Ex.CoNGREssMAN CONWAY,


BY Ex.CoNGREssMAN CONWAY.
An attempt to murder Ex-senator
Pomeroy was made at Washington, Sat
urday afternoon by Ex-representative
M. f. Conway of Kansas. Pomeroy was
walking up New York avenue and when
near the corner of 14th street was met
by Conway, who drew large revolver
and when within six feet of Pomeroy
fired three shots at him, one of which
took effect in his right breast. Conway
then put up his pistol and started to
walk off, when he was stopped by two
gentleman, p. B. Stillson and Addison,
who witnessed the shooting, the latter
exclaiming, Stop, sir. you have shot a
man, and must give your reasons for so
doing" to which Conway replied, He
ruined me and my family" He then
surrendered his pistol, which was six
shooter, to Stillson and accompanied
that gentleman to the station house. Mr..
Pomeroy, who had fallen to the pave
ment, was assisted TO carriage and
taken to his house, where his wound
was examined and found to be simply
an abrasion. During the evening, Con-
way was taken before Judge Smell, and
upon the presentation of the physician s
certificate as to the slight nature of
Pomroy's wound, was released on &c.,
600 bail, Alexander Adamson becoming
surety. Conway was laboring under great
mental excitement; to the question of
Mr.. Stilson if he knew what he had done,
he replied 81 don't know or hardly
know what l am DOING" he afterward
stated that the cause of the shooting
was that he had suffered frequent polit-
ical reverses in Kansas, which he attrib-
utes to Pomeroy. Aside from this re-
mark he was very reticent, and did not
allude to the affair. Upon being releas.
ed he was taken away by his friends
and will be arraigned before the police
court, today.
Conway is small-sized man, anC
about 30 years old; he is native o
Baltimore, and printer. He studied
law there and then went to Kansas ant
took part in the early struggles of tina
territory as free state man. Afte
serving as county judge for while h
was elected to Congress as the first rep
resentative to Kansas. At the end o
his term he was appointed consul a
Marseilles, but was removed by Gran
soon after the latter's Inauguration. HI
has been living in Washington for sew
eral years.
Mr.. Pomeroy says Conway met hin
few days ago for the first time in abou
two years, and said abruptly, am on
of money" to which Pomeroy replied
II know then how to appreciate you
situation, for am nearly in the sam,
condition myself This was all thei
conversation this time, and he was new
er more surprised than when Conwa,
began firing upon him, Saturday. Pom
eroy is emphatic in stating that he new
er had any controversy or ground fo
difficulty with Conway; on the contrary
he Gays that about three years ago h
and Senator Sumner got Conway's wifi,
a clerkship in the treasury department
on her representation that her HUSBAND
would not support her; subsequent,
Conway had tried to "trustee or dras
her wages at the treasury department
and failed, but he (Pomeroy) had n
controversy with him on that subject o
any other.

OvER-EXERTIoN, either of body or
mind, produces debility and disease. The
usual remedy is to take some stimulant,
the effect of which is the same as giving
tired horse the whip instead of oats.
The true way is to fortify the system
with permanent tonic like the Peruvi-
an Syrup, Ga protoXide of Iron,) which
gives strength and vigor to the whole
