NoBLY DoNE.-While our cities

occasionally being heard from. STAN

and now comes the following, which
makes showing we think no town,

Hanson from Being Burned 30 Death
-C0aI Oil BrOughr into ReuuisiffOn.

Hanson from Being Burned TO Death
Coal Oil BrOught into RequisitiOn.
Last Sunday morning some time after
midnight. a daring attempt was made TO
burn the residence of Simeon Shy, ESQ.,,
who lives three miles west of Franklin,
Williamson county. The only persons on
The premises at the time were three colOred
femaIs servants, and Mr.. Shy and his wife,
aged respectively eighty-three and seventy
six years. The dwelling was accessi-
BILE by four doors, and at either
one of these, quantities of coal oil had been
poured on the steps and floor and ignited.
The only reason that can be assigned why
the house was not destroyed is that during
THE previous day there had been heavy rain,
in consequence Of which the timbers were
damp. The doors, carpets and floors near
them were slightly burned, but otherwise
mo serious damage was done.
Nothing was known of this attempt at
arson until after daylight that morning,
when Mr.. Shy upon going out the back
way was Mortified to make the discovery.
1t appeared that several gallons of oil had
been emptied at each door. A fierce
dog which had been kept on the
place was found poisoned on the
night previous to this vilainOus attempt TO
destroy a whole family.
At the rear door in the L of the honse,
a lot of matches and several almanacs. par
TALLY burned were eft on tine steps.
DR.. Shy, son of the aged couple, was in
the city yesterday for the purpose of re-
guessing the Governor to offer reward for
the apprehension of the guilty parties. A
Liberal reward has already been offered by
the family. The deed, which is regarded
as one of the most dastardly ever attempted
in Williamson, has caused no little excite
ment among the citizens Of that county.

NEw HAVEN, Sept. 2l.-There is much
excitement in this city over the election of
three members Of the Board Of Education
and other minor officers, owing to the fact
that prominen. Roman Catholic clergy
man had announced from his pulpit that il
was time for Roman Catholics to act and
get control of the Board, so that their
schools might be supported by the public
funds. A Catholic ticket was in the field,
and two members Of the present Board
are Of that religious belief. The excite
ment called out vote of over 5000, which
was unprecedented in the history OF New
Haven school election. About 400 were
votes cast for the Catholics, but they were
defeated and the regular nominees elected
by majority Of about 1900, the cumula-
tive system being used.
Many Roman Catholics condemned the
strong sectaTian animus of the others, and
refused 20 vote the Catholic ticket.
