Lenpesl Into Eternity.

Nashville American, 2Sd:l
While Tim Horan and Richard
Gilmore were crossing the suspension
bridge, on the lower walk-way, from
Edgeheld, at 500 0p m, last night, they
suddenly came upon what seemed, in
the darkness, crOuching figure. A
man was near the center of the bridge
and appeared to be kneeling, as if in
the act of tying his shoe. They
stopped for a moment when the man
said ''pass on, as and one of the boys
passed he accidently kicked the
strange mans stick, which appeared
to have a bundle at the end of it.
They concluded, on this account, that
he must be tramp. They had only
passed up the bridge about twenty
steps when they heard a rustic behind
them and they at once looked over the
railing to see what was the matter.
Gilmore says he saw the man falling
by the light of boat which was
loading with lumber upon the Edge
field side, while Horan saw him strike
the water one hundred feet below
making a wave which seemed to him
as large as the steamer opposite.
There was but one splash and no
struggle in the water.
Efforts were made by an American
reporter to obtain further particulars,
but nothing further could be ascer.

New York, April 81, 1S79.-The

legislature of Tennessee, to fund the

mer6eld this morning on the charge Of
attempt to kill. After the identified.
ton and brief recital of the facts By
Mr.. Booth, Gray pleaded guilty. The
magistrate remarked that it was lucky
that the charge was not murder
whereupOn Gray returned: / wish
it was" Bail was at first fixed at ten
thousand dollars, but as Mr.. Booth
represented that he had been told that
Gray had expressed the determina-
tion to kill him when he was free
again, his bail was made at twenty
thousand dollars, and the would-be
assassin went to Jail. The grand jury
being now in session, an indictment
and speedy trial are not improbable.
The penalty for the crime is from one
to fourteen years in the penitentiary.
1t transpires that Gray made an at
tempt on his own life about three
years ago in st. Louis. At that time
he was very dissipated, but has since
reformed. He bought his revolver
yesterday with the express purpose for
which it was used. 1t is said that he
is stage-struck, and that he intended

HIS ST. LOUIS RECORD.
ST, LOUIS, April 4-Mark Gray,
who attempted to assassinate Edwin
Booth in Chicago, last night, was a
clerk in the dry goods house of
Scruggs, Vandewart & Barney, of this
city, till a few days ago, when he left
because he could not obtain an in
crease Of salary. Mr.. Barney, the
junior member of the firm, said he was
good salesman, and knows nothing
about him which would lead him to
commit such deed. The clerks in
the store speak of him as a quiet, re-
served young man, making few ac-
quaintances, and somewhat infatuated
with the stage. He frequently said
he intended to become an actor. Mrs.
Abeling, with whom Gray boarded,
and Mrs. Billings, at whose house he
lodged, say he frequently did strange
and foolish things, and they thought
him half crazy, lie said that all his
relations were actors that he came Of
star-actor family, and he was going
on the stage and do the same his
relations had done. On the other
hand, Mrs. Bruin, cousin of his,
who has almost raised him, says that
none of his family were ever actors
but he has a passion for the stage
himself, and is a great frequenter OIL
the theater. His father died before
he was born but last fall, when he
came here from Keokuk, he said tC

APrlnce's Achievement.

Foreign Notes.l
BY draining Lake Fueino, in the
Appenines, about fifty miles south
east of Rome, and some 22O0 feet
above the sea, Prince Torlonia has
added $4,000 acres to his rent roll. An
expenditure of $40, 100000 and a labor
which has extended over twenty-four
years have suficed for the making of a
tunnel and the erection of other
works, and the lake is now only a
small catchment basin, which effect
ually drains the surrounding district,
leaving about $4,000 of the finest
arabic land, on which the husbandman
can exercise his skill without fear of
an inundation sweeping his homestead
and his farm into irretrievable ruin.
The drainage of Lake Fucino will
henceforth take its place as one of the
wonders of the world, and it is to be
hoped that Prince Torlonia may long
live to enjoy the fruits Of his enter
prise and perseverance.
