BulIAOxers in the Tolls,

In the U. s. Circuit Court at Charles
ton, S. G., yesterday, Judge Bond de,
MED the motion to set aside the juries
as illegally formed.
He also denied motions for a contin-
uance of the election cases, and to pre-
vent the application of the test oath to
Jurors. On each of these motions
Judge Bryan dissented, and Judge
Bond announced thai, pending an ap.
peal to the Supreme Court, the accus-
ed, if convicted, would be admitted to
bail.
The case Of William Kerrigan, "harg-
ed with assaulting and obstructing a
eolorel supervisor, was then tried and

Not Accused Of Crime.

City Treasurer Francis Vincent in
forms us that the young gentleman, AL
bert A. Montpelier, was not guilty Of
crime, al would be inferred from cur
rent reports. In proof of which he
hands US this extract from letter from
his father to him:
"The unfortunate young man has
never done anybody any harm, that |
know Of. but to himself, in spite of the
good advice and my earnest supplica
tions. The death of his dear mother,
ten years ago, was an irreparable loss
to both Of us. | should like to ehave
him home, indeed, ,tbnt the condition
am informed he is in, it would be inhn-
man and even cruel to expose him to
the journey without anybody to take
care of him, and perhaps die by the
road side"
His father regularly sent money to
Mr.. Vincent to pav for vi, board, and
such con'or a. he might need.

AN ASSASSIN.
AssasaiaaiiOn Of the
Cxar OF Russia-Uneasy 10 the
Head That Wears q Crown.


ST. PETERSBURG, April l4.-Whlle
the Car was taking his usual morning
walk early to-day, near the palace,
four shots from revolver were fired at
him. The Car was unhurt. The man
who fred the shots was arrested by the
crowd which the firing attracted. The
city is now being decorated in token OF
thankfulness for the Cars escape.
The would-be assassin Of the Car is
now undere ding examination. Thetuil
official account of the affair says "To-
wards eight o'clock this morning as the
Emperor was taking his customary
walk, respectfully dressed man, wear
ing . military cap with cockade, ad-
vanced toward him, and as the Emperor
approached near he drew revolver
from the pocket of his overcoat and
fred four shots at him. The assassin,
before submitting to his captors, fired
another shot, slightly wounding in the
cheek person in the crowd.
"The great throng Of people which
had assembled enthusiastically cheered
and congratulated the Emperor, who
thanked them for their proofs Of fidelity
on such painful occasion. He said he
knew he had the support Of all respect
able people.
"The Emperor, after the foregoing
speech, drove to the Palace without es-
cort. He has not suffered the least i'll
effect from the attempt upon his lite.-
Afterwards he drove. still without es-
cort, to the Kasan Cathedral, to give
thanks for the preservation OF his life.
When receiving the congratulation OF
the officials of the Empire, at. noon,
the Gar was so much overcome by his
enthusiastic reception as to be unable
to speak for some minutes.
con recovery from his emotion he
said This is the third time God las
saved me-" 1t is supposed that the
Emperor's assailant took poison before
his attempt, as he vomited after his
arrest. Poison was also found under
his finger nails. Antidotes were ad-
ministered. 1t is thought the man
was an employee of the Ministry of FL
nanc. and al agent Of the lnt-rna
tepal."

found suspended by a rope around his

Of his barn, on Saturday morning. He

following each other so closely, affected
Coles mind. He blooded over his

His losses affected his financial affairs
but little, as he owned the finest farm

acres, upon which were erected several
fine buildings, all of which were clear

The Jews of Satorki, in Russia, are
being prosecuted for killing and suck
ing the bleod of a Christian child to
enhance the solemnity of their Easter
rites. Local doctors persisted that the
child died by drowning, but the accu-
sations against the Jews were not re-
moved, and eight of them are awaiting
trial. The intercession of the German
Government is expected as the deceas-
ed child was daughter of a Prussian
