CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
The Attempt Upon the Life Of Edwin
BOOth-Arratgnment of His Assail.
aut-The Latest Theory.

CHICAGO, April 24.-All the talk OF the city
to-day is the attempt upon the life of Edwin
Booth.
Mark Gray, cunning man with stage
name, stage-struck manner and language,
who was the chief actor In the realistic
drama, was arraigned before Justice SUM
mertield, in the Armory Police Court. Booth
appeared as prosecutor. He was pale, and
not at all at ease. He stated that the young
man was the same who fired at him. but did
not know him or why he should attempt his
life. Gray waived an examination. and was
held in $4,000 bond to appear before the
grand jury. He was at once taken to jail on
the north side. He stated to reporter that
Booth once injured friend of his, whether
man OF woman he would not say, and that
for several years he had determined to kill
him. He only regretted he did not first take
pistol practice, and make sure OF his aim.
He is young man of twenty three or twenty
five. Booth is forty-fve.
The Daily Neacs has the latest theory for
the cause of the attempt to shoot Booth,
which is that young Gray was addicted to
drink and was laboring under the effects of
long debauch. 1t seems to have most posi-
tive information Of the reliability OF this
theory.
REASONS ASSIGNED FOR GRAYs ACTS.
CHICAGO, April 24-There are still various
theories in regard to the attempt upon the
life of Booth. One is that Gray is a lunatic;
another, that he is stage struck and took this
method OF gaining cheap notoriety prepara-
tory to entering the career of al actor; still
others believe he is an illigitmate son of
Booth. He gives this impression without
saying so In positive terms. His real name is
said to be Lyon. He admits that he attempt
ed to shoot himself at one time. Booth will
say nothing about the affair, reserving his
statement fort court. There was an inn
mense audience to see him play tonight.
BOOTHS AssAILANT.
KEoKUK, Ia, April 24-The would-be as
sassin OF Booth is we'll known here. His
right name is Lyon, but he is better known
by the name OF his stepfather, Gray. His
stepfather is Patrick Gray, teamster, and
his parents are Woodworking people. He has
held important mercantile positions, but has
been several times discharged on account OF
drinking. He is known for his eccentrieitie5,
and has been stage-struck for years, belev-
ing himself destined to become great actor.
He was great admirer OF Booth and talked
of taking his name in starring tour Katie
Donovan, to whom the note found on him was
addressed, is pretty dressmaker, to whom
he paid much attention.

The distress OF the population at Constan
tinople is terribly on the increase; the Gaines
have SO deprecated that the Ira OF gold, nom.
inally worth 100 piastres, has now risen to
100 piastres in paper money. Several plans
have been proposed Tor the regeneration OF
the imperial finances, but all have failed, ow
ing to the opposition OF the Galata bankers
and of some of the great establishments in
London and Paris where temporary loans, at
usuriOuS interest, secured by some tax or
privilege made over by the Porte, are found
infinitely more profitable to the money-Iend-
ers than would be any reforms which would
secure the interests Of the bondholders. Add
ul-Hamid has sent all his gold and silver
plate estimated at 2,500,000 francs, to the
mint for coinage, intending Herewith to re-
be ever used for this purpose, which, given
the reckless prodigality at the palace
and the dishonesty of all Of the officers,
is doubtful, will be merely drop in the
to the Turkish finance minister himself.
Great fears are entertained OF bread riots, in
which the soldiers. equally starving with the
civil population, will take part. The Sultan
will be the first victim, unless he can make
good his escape in the steam yacht which lies

touches to the prettiest kettle OF fish ever

The Republican party has refunded over

reduced the cost of carrying it S20,000,000
and this magnificent piece Of financering has
been accomplished against the vote
of the Democratic party journal. Yes,
and not dollar of the taxes which the Re
publican party has levied in doing this was
paid by Democrat; moreover this national
debt was incurred altogether under Demo-
