AEatal Assault,

George Truman the Clerk of the Court
Of Quarter Session of Philadelphia who
was so brutally assaulted week age
by Naval Officer Clerk Shissler, died
yesterday. An attempt was made
to secure an ante-mortem statement from
Mr.. Truman, but his mind wandered
so that no coherent story could be Sc
cured. In addition to being the cause
of the death of Mr. Truman, it is now
aScertained that the unfortunate assail-
ant may become the indirect cause OF
another death in the family-that of the
mother of the deceased man, who is 81
years of age. She has been an invalid
for some time and loved her son dearly
not being aware of his shortcomings -
When the news of his illness was made
known to her she became greatly pros
trated, and it is feared she will die
Mr.. Truman will be buried tomorrow.
When the news of his victims death
was given to Shis,ler, he broke down
and was greatly affected. He was re-
moved to prison, where he will remain
until his trial takes place. Naval Of
fcer Pollock to-day declared Shissler's
desk vacant. There is already an un-
seemly scramble to secure the place
made vacant by Mr.. Truman's death,
which is one of great Importance in the
criminal courts, Governor Hoyt ap
points Lis successor, who serves until
November, 1880, but he will not Sc
lect any one to fill the vacancy for a
month at least.

sale of q Railroad.

Under a decree of the U. S. Court,
the Berks County Railroad was put up
at auction yesterday, by Thomas &
Sons, at the Exchange Rooms, Phila-
delphia. The order Of the Court was
made to foreclose a mortgage dated No
vember /, 1872, which was made at
that time to guarantee the various
rights and investments of the bond
holders, for whom Edward Belts, Hugh
De Haven and Jacob Bushong were
trustees. The road extends from
Highs farm, Berks county, on the line
of the Wilmington and Northern
Railroad, passes through the city of
Reading, and ends at Slatington, LIE.
high Co.
The first bid was $4,000 by John
N. Hutchinson, who represented the
bondholders. A holder of mechanics
liens against the road raised this bid
to 100000. 1t was evident from the
first that the fate of the road lay be-
tween these two men, who outbid each
other alternately by $4,000 raises,
until Mr.. Hutchinson struck 5000, 600.
His opponent had run his limit, and
The road was knocked down at that fig

LIFE CHEAP IN KENTUCKY.
The Record OF Murders and mar.
derOus Assaults In Five Years.


CINCINNATI, Sept. 23.---An interesting
compilation Of statistics bearing upon
the homicidal tendencies Of the people
of Kentucky will be published to-mor'
row. II represents thorough investiga'
tions among the records Of twenty conn-
ties, taken at random, OF the State
The work occupied special correspon
dent three months. The figures ar.
entirely accurate.
The aim was to ascertain how many
murders and murderons assaults hat
been committed in each county in
given number of years, and what lega
punishment, If any, was the result. IL
20 counties the records of indictments
alone show III homicides in an average
period of five years, an average Of 80 Il
each county. Against all this there II
the offset on the side of the laws win
dication of only one capital punishment
and three life terms in the Penitentiary
About dozen convicted murderers re
ceived sentences Of from three to five
years in Jail or prison. In few cases
where the offending party was negro
summary justice was meted out with
rope, without waiting for process Of law
These statistics do not by any means
cover all crimes of murder and mali.
cious shooting and stabbing in the e
counties as they are confined to court
records, and very many criminals have
never been brought before courts. The
period covered in no case runs back tc
the unsettled time of war, so that the
figures give an actual exhibit OF the
present status of crime in Kentucky.
The same ratio carried throughout the
State would show 3,66S shot and stab
bed in personal encounters in five
years.
In Breathitt County, 500 persons,
out of a voting population of 300, are
under indictment for crime; in Clay
County, $50 out Of l,600; in Jackson,
154, out of 799. Ten counties, with a
voting population of 1854, have q
SAG persons under indictment at a sin
gle term---over "a per cent. Only two
men had been hanged by law in Ken
tucky in 10 years.
