Desperate Attempt 20 Levy Blacknail
upon Hon. Fernando Wood.

MAN AND WOMAN CONCERNED IN THE At
TEMPT-MR. WOOD HANDS THE OFFENDERS
OVER TO THE POLICE.
Sometime since Hon. Fernando Wood WAS
called upon by one Mrs. Samuel b. Murdoch
and solicited by her to get her q place in the
Treasury. She being from his district in New
York and recommended by his constituents, he
wrote 3 letter to Mr.. McCartee, SUPERINTENDENT
OF the bureau OF engraving and printing, who
gave her position in his bureau. Some time
Afterwards she called upon Mr.. Wood with q
man purporting to be her husband, and desire ed
that Mr.. Wood SHOULD obtain a place in the de-
psrtments for him. Not liking the appearance
OF the man much, Mr.. Wood failed to do any
thing for him. Subsequent to this, on the 18th
Of June, Mrs. Murdoch called at Mr.. Wood s resi-
dence, ostensibly on behalf Of her husband, and
remained perhaps 20 minutes, and went away.
On the Friday morning following, tJune 1917 at
about 80 O'Clock, the man Murdoch suddenly
appeared in the sleeping room of Mr.. Wood,
while he was dressing and charging him boldly
with having had Illicit intercourse with his wife
on the Wednesday previous, demanded that his
wounded honor should be healed by the pay
ment OF large amount of money, at the sams
time putting his right hand in his side pocket
and cooking a pistol. Mr.. Wood met the at
tempt at Intimidation bravey, and kept Muir.
showed the INTRUDER out. 1t is not known how
the man effected an entrance to the house. The
same evening, while MIR. Wood was setting at
his door, colored boy handed him the follow
"srR:-I am satisfied as to your guilt. have
my reason Tor not shooting you. L viii settle
her. The alternative: will empty chambers
of my Colts revolver into you on first sight.
Answer Immediately in writing TO messenger.
5. Il. N.
IL you do not comply will publish you in all
the New York papers ard write to your wife.
8. Il. M
Mr.. Wood, of course, refused TO comply with
this blackmaiing demand, and sent the mos
senger OH, and subsequently procured a war
rant charging assault with intent to kill, on
which Detective Sargent took Murdoch into
10 W INIT lad - ail for
hearing. The witnesses have been before the
grand jury, and yesterday two true bills of in-
dictment we're found against Murdock-1ne
charging him with assault with intent to kill
and the other with sending q threatening let
ter.
In view Of this action of the grand jury, Mr..
Gloss, OF the Police Court, entered a n0ILe pros.
as to the case pending there.
1t isl now alleged that the parties purporting
TO be Mr.. and Mrs. Murdoch are not married,
and 10 would appear that the AFT air is bold
but weakly conceived attempt at blackmail

DIZZINESS or TRADE IN GREAT BRITAIN
Those who are 80 impatient for the return
of the activity which prevailed In business
,vo or three years ago, and who think that to
ACCOMPLISH this it is only necessary to strike
off and issue a few dozen millions more VI
legal-tender notes, would do well to give their
attention to the state Of business IN ureat
Britain. For nearly a year the exports OIL
pr;t;eb manufactures have been decreasing,
,,b;Io for two or three years the imports OF
food into Great Britain have been very heavy,
owing 10 successive short crops. An I'M
healthy condition of British trade neces-
s,rily and inevitably makes itself felt In
the countries which are most CLOSELY
,nitod n England by commercial relations,
and of these connected nations the ohiCeu
States stands at the head. TX individual cap
italists generally in England cannot make as
great savings as usual out OF the prohts Oh
their business, they cannot lend as much as
usual To foreign countries. Hence the invest
ment of English capital in railroad stocks,
mortgages. Government bonds. and other
United States securities will BIO checked
Hence the exchange will be more likely than
usual to turn against us, and tho export Oh
cold and silver be rendered necessary.
The extent to which the above effects VIII
take place is matter for conjecture, but the
progressive decline of the British export trade
has been for several months well defined
fact. The following are the official returns
of the declared value of British and irish
produce and manufactures exported Ill the last
nine months, compared with the corresponding
months of 1872 and 1873:
