NEwBURG, August l5.-Homer
Dannatt, aged twenty-one years,
yesterday while intoxicated at
tempted to murder his family with
a revolver. He first attacked his
mother, who struggled with him,
and she received only a slight
wound in the hand. Surprising he
had killed her, as he aimed at her
head, he left her and then attacked
his cousin, a girl sixteen years of
age, who ran into a bedroom. He
fired two shots through the door
without hitting her, and then broke
in the door and shot her through
the upper lip, the ball glancing,
The girl jumped from the window,
twelve feet, to the ground, and
while she lay there he fired twice
more, each ball taking effect in her
back near the kidneys, but inhiet.
ing only flesh wounds, which are
not considered dangerous. He
threatened the citizens and police
who went to the rescue of his ter
rorized relatives, but he was finally
arrested and safely lodged in jail

there was a conspiracy on foot in
which he took a part pertaining to
the Presidential candidacy, and Ire
greet the conclusion forced upon I'VE.
Now there was more than seeming
truth in the supposition. Concern
ing himself, the President said the
question of his integrity or probity,
as it might be judged now or in
after years, never gave him an
emotion of concern; at least, in the
way of doubt, because he knew
that he had never been impelled by
improper motives, and he did not
believe there was the slightest thing
to the contrary on record. With
the light of events and experience
of earlier times there were many
things he could see now which he
might do, if again necessary, in a
different way. But they pertained
more to the matter Of d~riscretion
as to individuals than to questions
of policy. In everything he did he
had adopted the rule through life
to examine into what was submit
ted to him carefully, and without
anything but the Principle
of doing right, as far as he
could judge, to guide him. He
had always written, spoken and
acted in hal direction and in q
manner which he thought came VI
to that standard.

A number Of single gentlemen,
and a few married ones who passed
for single awhile, stopped over here
from the late Nashville convention
on the pretense of cooling off and
comparing political notes. This
was plausible enough, for the con-
yention was a warm place, in which
occurred many scenes and episodes
worth remembering and discussing
afterward. 1t soon became eyi6 ent.
however, that the stopping over
here was premeditated and delib-
erately planned. The quantity Of
baggage carried by some of these
tired returning delegates would
have suggested that they had been
to Philadelphia for a month.
The water here is said by
those who have tried it to
be as good and healthful as can be
found in Virginia or elsewhere; and
there is plenty of it-chalybeate.
