the row boat, which is intended to keep open
the MARYLAND ferry during the suspension of
the trips of the steameraVirginia, to get the
passengers who congregate lat Opossum Hall,
they have as yet failed, the boat being unable
to force her way TO her slip, and the ice being
too weak to allow the passengers to walk on it

ATTEMPTED AssAss1NArIoK-MR. HrRAM
W. TYLER WoUNDHD.-BetHeen 1880 and
- O'Clock Saturday night an attempt was
made to assassinate Mr.. Hiram ". Tyler on
bis premises, Thirtieth and Main streets,
Libby Hill. Mr.. Tyler LEFT his office, irl
Rockets, about II O'Clock, 10 company with
Mr.. James T. GoddiD, bis sol-IT.laW. Mr.,
lGoddin parted with Mr.. Tyler at the latter's
back gate. Mr.. Tyler was approaching the
house when he heard what he supposed to
be the click Of pistol Stopping to look
around. in an instant he was struck on the
head two or three times by man who must
have been previously concealed under the
back porch. Mr.. Tyler was knocked down,
and his cries for help roused the inmates of
the house and caused Mr. Goddfn, who had
not reached home, to'return. BY that time,
however, the would. be assassin was gone,
and nothing could be learned to point to his
DR.. ". F. aFarrar was summoned to MIR.
Tyier's assistance, and found that he had re.
ceiyed several severe but not dangerous
scalp-wounds, evidently made BY a club or
some other blunt instrument. But for the
fact that he wore q heavy felt hat and had
inside Of it large silk pocket dkerchief,
which projected his head, the blows would
probably have crushed bis skull.
Mr.. Tyler is improving In condition, but
it will be considerable time before he Is
well. Besides the wounds on his head there
is one on ore arm which is some8hat painful.
I, It Is believed chat this waS a deliberate at
tempt TO assassinste Mr.. Tyler. Having o
large number Of tenants, some Of them not
people of the highest respectabifity, and not
being accustomed to eonciIiate. Mr.. Tyler is
known to have enemies. IT tis supposed that
one of them sought to wreak his vengeance
by taking Mr. Tyler's life. .'s9s co. Y
J The man who attacked bim knew his
habits well, and was aware that he came
home every night With Mr.. g G1ddin, and that
for the thing to be successful the attack
must be made after he bad parted with Mr,
Goddin. - Z 81 -.
