A ACT.


nUM lEcN VM IA .
About seven o'clock last night. says the
Times Review Of Friday, a most cowardly
attempt was made on the life OF Pierce Ro-
gers, q miner. who has until recently been
working in the Independence mina. He
was sitting in Mrs. divers clearinghouse,
in the northern portion Of the town, when
q stone or some other hard substance was
thrown against the building. Rogers and
one or two other persons stepped outside to
ascertain the cause. He had advanced o
short distance from the house, when q man
who was standing near the road, about fifty
feet from him, raised q shotgun, and TAX
ing q deliberate aim, fired, the charge TAX
ing effect upon Rogers breast, neck and
face. Joe Howea, who was q step or two in
the rear Of Rogers, advanced toward the
man with the gun. when the latter warned
him to stop. telling him that he had
another charge in reserve. Howes, reeos.
nizing the voice, said: "Jack, don't shoot,
YOU have nothing against me" The assas-
sin, after pausing . moment. started at q
pretty lively rate down the road towards
town. The wounded man was taken in
Mira. divers house and DR.. Huntington
sent for. The Dr.. upon examination, found
that probably the entire charge, which was
small bird shot, had taken effect upon the
body, neck and head Of the patient. The
wounds, although painful and serious,
are not considered dangerous. One shot
entered the corner Of the right eye, and it
10 possible that the sight may be destroyed.
In q few moments after the shooting o
large crowd gathered about the house
where this wounded man was lying. Joe
Howes and 0 number Of others stated that
Jack Craze was the man who fred the
shot. Officers Weaver and johnson imme-
diately proceeded to Craze's residence,
near the Independence mill, where they
found and arrested the person charged with
with the crime. Craze was lodged in Jail,
o. was also his partner Henry Trebilcock,
who IL also charged with being implicated
in the affair. Craze denies any knowledge
OF the matter whatever; he exhibited con-
siderable fear, however, that the friends
OF Rogers should attack the Jail and take
him from the custody Of the officers. There
had been q difficulty between Craze and
Rogers at the Brewery during the afternoon.
but 1t was amicsble settled and they parted
apparently good friends. Several persons
state that they identified Craze as the per-
son who fred the shot, and the latter per-
sistently denied it to the officers and also
to . reporter Of the Times-Review. Officer
Weaver found at Crazs's house . couple OF
shot guns, Of which he took possession. The
affair will probably be judicially inyesti-
gated either to-day or tomorrow.

ANOTHER attempt to abolish the Jewish
Sabbath, OF, rather, to unite it with the
Christian Sunday, so that the Hebrews
will not be at the disadvantage Of doing
business but five instead Of six days in the

seems to be that this change is only a mat

The total vote polled was 668, 667, an in

count in part for the remarkable increase

much advertised restitution to the Erie
stockholders was no restitution at all.
What was announced as the restoration OF
five millions of assets was, they find, merely
the turning over Of a lot Of cat and dog
securities that cost him nothing. The
truly astonishing discovery to which this
intelligence leads is that there could have
been people who supposed that Jay Gould
took five millions put Of his own pockets
to transfer it to somebody else's pockets.

HORRIBLE DEATH OF A POLIT-
ICAL PRISONER.

The stories which are cropping out in the
Continental press as to the atrocities per-
petrated on political prisoners under the
authority of Alexander II. and his Third
Section, far transcend anything told Of
Naples in the days which preceded the fall
Of King Bomba. Now that Germany and
Austria have hit upon a plan Of joint ac-
ton in the East. the Russian journals pub
lished in Switzerland by the exiles who
have fed from the despotism Of the Cars,
will find their way everywhere, and the
honorable instincts Of humanity will com
mand allies, even for the Nihilists, in their
warfare against a tyranny which fortunes
and outrages women as if they were wild
animals, for the crime Of I" teaching peas
ant children to read,' and which makes
possible such o story as that Of Somof.
who recently and deliberately burned him.
self to death with petroleum in his prison.
What is there in literature more terrible
than this simple description
When the smell Of scorching flesh made
its way through the crevices Of his cell
door into tie corridor, where a sentry was
stationed, and who gave the alarm, the
turnkey upon opening the door beheld the
unfortunate prisoner enwrapped in q firery
shrond Of lambert fame, Pickering dimly
amidst the clouds Of thick and acrid smoke
with which the dungeon was filed. Somof
uttered nc sound, even when help approach
ed him. but regarded his tormentors with
q steady and coldly resentful gaze. The
surface Of his body was already ~carbonized,
but he lived for three hours and a half al
ter the flames consuming him had been
extinguished, and answered all the ques-
tons put to him with immovable calm aud
composure. He stated that he should have
been content to submit to the sentence OF
any legal tribunal, and to pay for his polit-
icaI convictions with his life, if condemned
to death in the usual manner but that he
had been unable to endure the humiliating
and inhuman fortunes which had been in
fiicted upon him by his ~jailers.
