INTENT TO KILL"

Paul Englc six years old, prisoner yesterday
in the Harlem Police Court to answer charge Of
ieonious assault aud battery with intent to kill.
The facts are substantially as follows:-On Sat,ir-
day afternoon Paul, who lives with his father
in East Ninety street. Fourth ave-
nue., went out into the street to slide with
q number OF young companions. While the
sport was at its height Jimmy Goodwin, boy OF
ten twelve years. took up position on small
rise or ground near where the children were at play.
aud little time quietly watched their gam
bos. Alter while, by way OF diversion. he began
to throw stones az them. Paul Engle resented the
impertlnencc and warned him that II the thing went
he paul woild seek redress. Jimmy laughed
and landed sharp piece OF Ice under Pauls ear.
The indignant lad lost all selfcontrol, and scizing
larger chunk OF ice struck his assaant in the eye.
jimmy then ran screaming to his fathers house,
at No. lIs East Nineteth street, az he says,
with the blood streaming down his face. His father
resolved al to prosecute the young culprit who
had endangered his sons life. Hnrrying to the
Eighty-eghth street police station hc told Captain
Robbins OF the occurrence but that official declined
to make an arrest till some evidence of young Good
wins injuries should be laid before him. Mr.. Good
win then retired. bat returned in few moments
with q blood soaked shirt, which, he said. had
been taken of his son, who was confined to his bed
Detective Crowley soon found Paul and took him 10
the station house, where he was locked up for ths
night. In court yesterday Mr. Goodwin produced
and waved the bloody shirt and handed the Judge
certificates from two physicians in regard to his son
serious condition.
Judge smith then required Pauls father to pya
security guaranteeing the appearance Oh the youna
man in court when needed.

much greater than that of working through vertical
shafts that the various companies found it advisable
to sink shafts several hundred feet further eastward

ion. Montgomery Blair on the Political
Situation.

Hon. Montgomery Blair has address,
cd letter to the editor Of The Crisis.
a grecnback organ printed in Philadel-
phia, in which he INDUCES in some OBJ.
seryations on The political situation.
Mr.. Blair contends that the present
condition Of the country is due to the
fact THAT the government has been
perverted from its legitimate object of
protecting the people and made the in
s.rumcnt efplundering them" and says
The workincaen are clearly right in
specifying. as one of the modes, in
which the dominant party has pervert-
cd power to their injury. their fostering
Of the mOnoplies by which so great
portion olthe earnings Of labor have
been dcyourcd, and especially the ma
uOnal banking system, which is Justly
obnoxious" MT. Blair says the most
sisniicantresul Of tie workingmen's
movement is that 1T has brought the
democratic organization to its old-time
attitude Of open and determined antage-
n.sm TO the money power, with which
100 many Of our chiefs have hitherto
been in secret alliance" and concludes ::
At this moment, therefore, the
democratic and workingmen's organiza-
ton substantially agree in oppos-
Ing subsidies Of money or land, in re-
ducing expenditures, in exposing and
detecting fraud, and substituting green
backs for national bank notes. and gen.
orally in rolicyiag labor from taxation.
The democratic organization does not
accept some other ideas of the nationals,
bat its thorough &C ceptance of the anti
monopoly creed places it in entire az
cord with the nationals IN opposing the
money power which now holds the
government, 10 which all the suffer
ings Of the wOrkingmen are c0Alessedly
due, during whose continuance in power
no prosperity whatever can be expect
cd and whose overthrow is therefore
necessity first, alike to democrats and
nationals"

Louisville Daily Courier-J ournal, which
in its issue Of July Doth said:
THE performances yesterday under
the canvasses of Sells seven-clephant
show were of the best character. There
were large crowds in attendance both
morning and evening. The street pa
radc in the morning was gorgeous af-
fair, a striking feature being the bearing
a loft Of one Of the baby elephants upon
a chariot as it was drawn through the
streets. The company engaged is so
large that the management is enabled
to diversity the arenic exhibitions very
considerably, the change OF programme
being very marked. Such a thing is al
most unique in circus performances.
The bill is quite long and includes 4 de-
lighuul variety. Among the notable
acts are the l6aping participated in by
dozen fine athletes, the especial star
being Rlnehart, the worlds champion;
the riding Of Mile. Viola, Mr.. Ewcrs,
Mr.. Holland and young son Of Mr..
Sells and the wonderful performing dogs
Of Mr.. Cobb. There were a dozen or
more splendid feats on the trapeze, in
tumbling and vaulling, all contributing
to the satisfaction OF the spectators. A
trained monkey, in a Performance az
ter Blondin and in riding goat, receiy-
ed loud applause. There were four or
five clowns to furnish the merriment.
The menagerie is well stocked. There
were seven elephants, Of both the As

The Origin of the Fever in New Orleans

a correspondent Of the New York
Herald, telegraphing from New Orleans
gives an account Of the origin Of the
fever at that place which corresponds
with other reports heretofore received
and from which it appears into that the
introduction Of the disease into that city,
whence il spread to all the now infected
places, was an OyercenGdencc on the
part Of the Board Of Health Of New
Orleans in Their ability to thoroughly
0isinfcct vessels arriving from West
India ports. DR.. Joseph Jones, Pro-
fessOr Of Chemistry in the Medical
COLLEGE of Louisiana, is the correspOn-
dents authority for his statements.
According to DR.. Jones, the Emily B.
Soudel arrived at the quarantine ground
about the middle ofMay, irem H3raDa,
within nine passengers, one OF whom was
transferred to the quarantine hospital,
having "iaeTmiicat .terer. "rhe vessel
twas detained for sir hours ut the
quarantine, during which time she was
'horouglly fimigat;d with sulphur
burnt II pans. At the customhouse
"she presented a clean bill of health.
The mate of the vessel who was on
deck during the inspection at the
quarantine. was taken sick on arrival
at the city, and was carried to the
corner Of Claiborne and Bienville
''s,rcetS. where he died in commissions.
1T is said, Oh the 25M of Nay. Another
cease from the same vessel went TO
clearinghouse at the head of GirOd
"s;reot. was taken aflerward TO the
Hotel D leu: and there died on the 30M
"ef Nay. This case which was pro-
'nouuccd mGmjfeat .ferr by the at
tending physician was declared to be
''yeUor tcrcr by tie President Of the
Board OF Health, after post norton
examination" This testimony of q
capable expert comedies with the re-
ports heretofore received as to the origin
Of the fever at New Orleans, and is
strongly suggestive Of the belief that the
Introduction oftLe fever at New Orleans
and the consequent spread along the
water and rail communications Of that
city. was due toa lack Of prudence on
The part o. the Board Of Health. Sir
tous quarantine was deemed sufficient
ly these officials, and the plasue-ship
was then allowed 10 bring her cargo Of
death and desolation to the wharyes Of
tie Gig. whence 1t was disseminated
throughout the Mississippi Valley, and
to-day strhousaaa victims have paid
tile penalty Of that sic hours farce.
