DarIpr Atlempt at Robery.

A daring attempt at robbery was
madc at two o'clock yesterday morn
ing at Lucy Depot. Miss Quinn a
young lady school teacher boards
with Mrs. Sewell little aside from
the village. Night before last they
were alone in the house. At the hour
named Miss Quinn discovered that
two men we're in her room. She drew
a pistol and was instantly seized by
them. In the struggle that ensued
her pistol was discharged and she
screamed at the top of her voice.
The william outside shouted "kll
the wenchl choke her! choke herl"
Mrs. Sewell came to her relief and
joined in the screaming. This aroused
some negroes in a cabin in sight,
and after brief tussle the three sooS
pads fed. A letter was found which
in substance said, Come up have
Swallowed girl here who has con-
siderable money and a diamond ring.
1t is the only thing in sight" Signed
wv" This is supposed to have been
written to some one in this city. Miss
Quinn had about 5000 and a diamond
ring as well, and had lately counted
the money over at night. 1t is likely
that one of these scOundrels was lurk-
ing on the outside and sent for help to
capture the prize. Miss Quinn'shero
ic resistance baffled the robbers, but
left her in a greatly disturbed and very
nervous condition. Some strangers
had been noticed about Lucy lately,
but nobody paid any particular atten-
ton to them. The letter found may
furnish clue to the authors of the
job. 1t has been placed in the hands

A Surveying Party MassaCred
by Indians or MexiCans.
Thirteen Dead Bodies Found In
a Heap.

ST.. LOUIS, July 6.-Dispatches from
Santa Fe say private and reliable dis
patches from Pass Del Norte contain
the following: On yesterday party
Of Americans, en- route to chihuahua,
returned to Pass Del Norte and report
ing to Mr.. George T. Anthony, general
manager of the Mexico Central rail-
road, that at a point where the road
from El Paso to Chihuahua enters the
Saw Hills, forty miles from El Paso,
they found thirteen dead bodies, all
Of them belonging to surveying par
ties Of that road, locating the line to
chihuahua. The surveying party
which originally started was in charge
of Locating Engineer @. G. Mepham,
native of Illinois, and Engineer M.
j. Cunningham, and was about thirty
men strong
Armed parties were Immediately
dispatched to the scene ofthe massacre
So far none Of the names of the killed
have been learned. 1t is not known
whether the raid was committed by
Indians, but is supposed some Of Vic
toria s war chiefs and right hand men
who, with ABOUT thirty warriors, es-
capped from the Trescastillo fight, are
the perpetrators. Another dispatch
dated Los Cruces yesterday, says that
advices received here to-day state that
the stage on the FL Paso aud Jhihua-
hua line was attacked by Indians 100
miles south of Ri Paso, and four pas
Sengers and two drivers were killed.
One passenger escaped, wounded. A
report also reached here to the effect
that the entire surveying party of the
Mexican Central railroad have been
killed by Indians in Old Mexico. A
company Of Mexican cavalry have
been sent out from chihuahua to in
vestigate the rumor.

fore merely insist that the rules of
evidence which were adopted and ap-
piled in the murder of Mr.. Lincoln be
adopted and applied in the attempted
murder of Mr.. Garfield. If the Pres
ident dies let all these men be indicted.
They have by the mere circumstance
of their political celebrity no immu-
uity either from popular suspicion or
arrest. Garfield, unoffendihg and gen.
tie as baby, was not above being shot
down like dog. Neither shall Ar

claim to be-stand exempt from their
responsibilities as citizens. They are
either guilty or not guilty Of this

LEARN TO SWIM.
Let Us Have a Public swimI; In
School for the Boys. "

1t is an appropriate time in viewE'
a sad local occurrence to urge updl
all parents in Memphis who have boz
growing up to urge the establishment
of a swimming school upon such
basis aud under such regulations thlt
the boys may at least once week a.
joy the luxury Of plunge, ro bp
and a good doucing in fresh water. 1t
is almost as natural for boys to take
to water as ducks, and they seem to
enjoy it much better. If forbidden to
go, as is often the case, they either
submit with a deep feeling of regret or
they slip of when favorable oppor-
tunity occurs. Many Of us know how
it was ourselves. A safe, comfortable
bathing place could be opened up
near the city at cost Of not many
hundred dollars. Tickets could be
issued to stockholders according to
their subscription and could be sold
to all proper persons at very cheap
rate. say Ave cents a head. This
would probably be enough to meet all
necessary expenses. If not, charge
ten cents. OF course, there would
have TO be one or more at
tendants, and only a certain number
would be allowed to enter at one time.
hundreds would flock to such a place
every day. Every boy should be
taught to swim under the direction OF
his father or some responsible grown
man, and not left to slip off to,lonely,
dangerous places and learn on the sly.
We know what accidents are liable to
happen upon these occasions. In the
first place parents should teach their
children to be frank. confd-
ing, and to have no conceal
ments as to their wishes and what
they do. This would save world OF
trouble and misunderstanding. In
the second place parents, without being
too indulgent, or developing false
tastes or appetites, should try to fur
nish their children sufficient rational
or natural amusement. Childhood is
full of buoyancy and bounding hope;
it knows little of the realities of life,
and is easily touched with pleasure OF
pain, happiness or sorrow. The i'm
pressions made at this period enter iLtd
all the future of life. But not to
lose sight of the swimming school, the
bath is great promoter Of health and
strength, as well as a pleasure and an
amusement. In the South, where il
is most needed, we have the poorest
facilities. In the larger cities North
there are swimming schools for botH
sexes, which are freely patronized.
AS nothing of the sort has ever beer
established here, let us begin THU
summer by building a good bathing
place designed more particular!
for the boys, and by another yea
no doubt there will bea demand fol
more extensive accommodations. 1
would be good sanitary movo for al
classes.

sensible Suggestions.


The following extracts from the
Courier-Journal's leading article on
the attempted assassination will at
least attract general attention:
We do not charge anybody, directly
by name and in person, with the deep
damnation of the awful crime except
the perpetrator himself. But we do
demand that the government shall
proceed with the minuteness OF in
duiry and the resolution and the scope
which we're put forth in search of tSe
authors of the murder of Mr. Lincoln,
Three persons at least will be saved
from ruin by the death of the Presi-
dent. and nothing less than the death
of the President can save them. They
are Roscoe Conkling, Dorsey and
Brady. We do not say that they are
guilty, but we are unwilling to as
sumo, in advance, that they are inno-
cent. There is nothing in their char
acter or their antecedents to exempt
them from a suspicion which would
instantly and universally attach itseIi
to persons in private life who might
hold similar relation to a crime di.
rectly and cOnclusively profitable to
themselves. 1t is not SO difficult q
thing to procure a murder, Some
times il is done by altercstion; some
times by intimation. Let Messrs
Conkling, Dorsey and Brady b.
